Mechanical properties of kenaf fibers and kenaf/PLA composites

Mechanics of Materials, 2008
Abstract This paper describes the cultivation of kenaf and application to biodegradable composite materials. The unidirectional biodegradable composite materials were made from kenaf fibers and an emulsion-type PLA resin. Thermal analysis of kenaf fibers revealed that tensile strength of kenaf fibers decreased when kept at 180 °C for 60 min ...

Mechanical properties of nanoclay-filled kenaf and hybrid glass/kenaf fiber composites

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2021
Abstract Kenaf is a natural fiber that can be used as an alternative reinforcement material due to its excellent properties such as low density and high strength. In this study, kenaf composites were developed by hybridizing with glass fiber and modified with nanoclay to enhance its mechanical properties.

Biodegradable Acetylated Kenaf Fiber Composites

Fibers and Polymers, 2021
Bio-composites containing kenaf and starch as the filler and matrix, respectively, and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Polyethylene glycol (PEG) as plasticizers were fabricated. The acetylation of hydrophilic kenaf increased the hydrophobic matrix and surfactant bonding in the complex, and the starch matrix increased the biodegradability.

Chemical modification of kenaf fibers

Materials Letters, 2007
The interest in using natural fibers in composites has increased in recent years due their lightweight, non-abrasive, combustible, non-toxic, low cost and biodegradable properties. However, lack of good interfacial adhesion, low melting point and poor resistance to moisture absorption make the use of natural fiber reinforced composites less attractive.
