Biodegradable Composites Reinforced with Kenaf Fibers: Thermal, Mechanical, and Morphological Issues

Advances in Polymer Technology, 2012
AbstractKenaf fiber reinforced composites were prepared via melt mixing using completely biodegradable poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and poly(butylenes adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT). Kenaf fibers were used as received and after chemical treatments aimed to improve fiber–matrix adhesion.

Delignification Pathways for the Engineering of Nanostructured Wood

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Delignification severity in wood is determined by experimental parameters that control the removal of noncellulosic components, thereby shaping the resulting chemistry and microstructure. Although delignification is crucial for engineered wood fabrication, quantitative guidelines spanning different chemistries and processes are lacking.

Effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Bacteria–Coated Jute Fiber on Workability, Durability, and Microstructural Properties of Concrete

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Concrete’s durability is often compromised by low tensile strength, cracking, and limited self‐repair. Natural fibers like jute offer reinforcement but may absorb moisture, negatively affecting workability and durability, necessitating additional mortar for optimal performance.

Natural Fiber‐Reinforced, Natural Resin‐Based Biocomposites: Fabrication, Properties, and Sustainable Applications

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 ...
