Chemically Retted Kenaf Fibers

Sen'i Gakkaishi, 2005
Alkali-retting was applied to kenaf bast ribbons and the mechanical properties and the structure of the retted fibers were investigated. In order to produce the fibers with preferable surface smoothness, the retting should be made at the NaOH concentration higher than 4 %. The tensile properties, however, showed a maximum at the NaOH concentration of 1

Characteristics of Kenaf Fibers Treated by Alkali [PDF]

Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, 2011
Kenaf fiber can be obtained by decortications of the kenaf plant stem. The properties of the kenaf fiber treated by alkali (NaOH) were investigated by spectrocolorimeter, SEM, X-ray diffractometer, FT-IR and TGA. The kenaf fibers treated by alkali became darker and their Munsell color values changed from Y (yellow) to YR (yellowred) according to an ...

Low-velocity impact performance of glass fiber, kenaf fiber, and hybrid glass/kenaf fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates

BioResources, 2018
The goal to decrease global dependency on petroleum-based materials has created a demand for bio-based composites. Composites that are reinforced with natural fibers often display reduced strength compared with those using synthetic reinforcement, and hybridizing both types of reinforcement within a common matrix system offers a possibly useful ...
