Biodegradable Acetylated Kenaf Fiber Composites
Fibers and Polymers, 2021Bio-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.

Mechanical properties of nanoclay-filled kenaf and hybrid glass/kenaf fiber composites
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2021Abstract 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.

Kenaf Fibers for Tribo-Thermoplastic Composites
Volume 4: Design and Manufacturing, 2009In the present work, wear and frictional characteristics of thermoplastic epoxy resin reinforced with treated kenaf fiber (T-KFRE) is investigated. The T-KFRE composite was tested against smooth stainless steel using a block on disc (BOD) apparatus at 2.8m/s sliding velocity and variable applied loads (10–60N) and sliding distance (02.7km).

Thermal Characterization of Alkali Treated Kenaf Fibers and Kenaf-Epoxy Composites
Fibers and Polymers, 2018Chemical treatment of natural fibers is a well-defined means of mechanical property improvement in natural fiberreinforced composites. An understanding of mechanical and thermal properties in these media is essential for evaluating heat transfer, thermal degradation, and overall performance of these composites over their product lifetime. However, very
