Forest Products Journal, 2010
The fabrication of kenaf bast fiber bundle/unsaturated polyester composites with high (60% to 67, wt/wt) fiber contents was explored in this study. Mechanically ground kenaf bast fiber bundles were preformed into mats with a polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive.

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013
Biodegradable materials made from cassava starch and kenaf fibers were prepared using a solution casting method. Kenaf fibers were treated with NaOH, bleached with sodium chlorite and acetic buffer solution, and subsequently acid hydrolyzed to obtain cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs).

Study on microbe retting of kenaf fiber
Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2007Retting is the predominant problem in the application of kenaf fiber in high-grade products. While the traditional retting method is water retting, that is, the harvested bast kenaf is immersed in natural water (rivers or tanks) in which indigenous bacteria colonize noncellulosic materials in an anaerobic process resulting in severe environmental ...

Kenaf—fiber-plant rival of jute
Economic Botany, 1947In India and other parts of the Old World kenaf has long been of value in the manufacture of gunny cloth, cordage, fishing nets, floor matting and rug backing, and since 1941 investigations have been conducted toward its cultivation in the New World.

Chemical and Biological Retting of Kenaf Fibers
Textile Research Journal, 2006The physical and chemical characteristics of fibers after biological, chemical, and enzymatic retting were studied for kenaf cultivated in Jeju, Korea. Retting removes non-fibrous materials leaving separated fibers. Quantitative chemical analyses of kenaf fibers after retting were conducted using gas chromatography—mass spectrometry (GC— MS).

Properties of unidirectional kenaf fiber–polyolefin laminates
Polymer Composites, 2010AbstractThe objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of kenaf fiber orientation and furnish formulation on the properties of laminated natural fiber–polymer composites (LNPC). The uniaxial fiber orientation provided property enhancement of the LNPC. The randomly oriented kenaf fibers, regardless of fiber contents in the laminates, provided

Mechanical properties of kenaf fiber reinforced concrete
Construction and Building Materials, 2011This paper presents the findings of an experimental research program that was conducted to study the mechanical properties of a natural fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) which is made using the bast fibers of the kenaf plant. The kenaf plant is quickly developing as a replacement crop for the dwindling tobacco industry in the south-eastern United States.
