Benefits of Low Kenaf Loading in Biobased Composites of Poly(L-lactide) and Kenaf Fiber
Bast fibers from stems of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus, L.), a warm-season tropical herbaceous annual plant, were dispersed into poly-L-lactide (PLLA) matrix by melt-mixing followed by compression molding. Low fiber fractions (1–5%) were investigated. The composites showed a slight lowering of thermal stability when evaluated by thermogravimentric analysis. X-ray diffraction and differential scan...
متن کاملGeneration mean analysis for forage yield and quality in Kenaf
The objective of this study was to estimate heritability, heterosis, and genetic parameters involved in the control of forage yield and quality in kenaf populations, using analysis of generation means. Two crosses were used; Cuba 2032×Accession 75-71 and IX51×Everglade 41. Experimental material comprised of P1 and P2, their F1 and F2 and BC1P1 and BC1P2 generations. The effects of generations w...
متن کاملFlexural Properties of Kenaf Fibre Mat Reinforced PLA Composites
The potential use of natural biopolymer composites in a variety of applications that requires biodegradability and better mechanical properties has renewed many researchers interest on the composites. This research involves the analysis of flexural properties for natural fibers specifically kenaffiber mat in a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix (KMPLA). The polylactic acid has been chosen as a matrix...
متن کاملSandwich Structure Composites: Effect of Kenaf on Mechanical Properties
Sandwich structure composites produced by epoxy core and aluminium skin were developed as potential building materials. Interface bonding between core and skin was controlled by varying kenaf content. Five different weight percentage of kenaf loading ranging from 10 wt% to 50 wt% were employed in the core manufacturing in order to study the mechanical properties of the sandwich composite. Prope...
متن کاملCharacterization of Laccase-Treated Kenaf Fibre Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene Composites
Raw and laccase-treated kenaf fibre (KF) were used individually to reinforce recycled polypropylene (RPP) using extrusion and injection moulding. Laccase was used to modify the surface of the fibre to improve the compatibility between fibre and matrix. Enzyme concentration and soaking time were considered as the treatment parameters. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) was used with a...
