Plant population effects on fiber hemp growth and yield in Southeastern United States
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Fiber hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has gained renewed interest in the United States as a bast fiber crop used in textiles, nonwovens, and composite materials. Region‐specific production practices are limited due to the crops relatively recent legal status.

Normal Pressure Pulping of Jute, Kenaf and Mesta Bast Fibers.
Sen'i Gakkaishi, 1998 To develop a simple pulping technique for small scale papermaking, a combination of ammonium oxalate pretreatment and alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment at normal pressure was examined for jute, kenaf and mesta bast fibers. The ammonium oxalate pretreatment seems sufficient to remove transition metal ions (Mn, Fe and Cu) and a part of Ca and Mg to ...

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Natural fiber‐reinforced, natural resin (NFR‐NR)–based biocomposites are a sustainable set of materials developed to offset the ecological and environmental consequences resulting from the use of man‐made composites. The biocomposites are reinforced with the vegetable fibers such as jute, flax, hemp, kenaf, and so on with biodegradable polymeric ...

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Currently, a massive expanse of wastewater is generated and ejected directly into the environment owing to widespread industrialization, hasty fluctuating technologies, and excess demand of the overgrowing population. This could pollute the ground/surface water, ecosystem, and cause serious damage to public safety/security and ecological balance. Hence,

Mechanical Characteristics of Green Composites of Short Kenaf Bast Fiber Reinforced in Cardanol
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 In this experiment, thermoset cardanol resin was reinforced with short kenaf bast fibers to produce 100% green composites. Different fiber loadings based on weight ratios (0%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%) were fabricated by the hand layup method followed by ...
