Kenaf polypropylene composites with high fiber load of 85 wt% were produced using glycerine as a processing aid and maleic anhydride-grafted (MAPP) compatibilizer/coupling agent. Commercially available MAPPs different molecular weights anhydride contents used to determine what properties the important achieve mechanical these highly filled composites. A homo-polymer random-polymer, compared mat...

the present experiment was carried out to assess the general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) of six important commercial cultivars of gossypium hirsutum l. of venezuela, viz., ‘deltapine 16’, ‘tamcot-sp-21’, ‘cabuyare’, ‘stoneville’, ‘ospino’ and ‘acala 90-1’ and their 15 f1 hybrids, respectively. the data were analyzed using griffing’s model i method ii. significan...

The harmonic mean of the relative performance of genotypic predicted value (HMRPGV) method has been used to measure the genotypic stability and adaptability of various crops. However, its use in cotton is still restricted. This study aimed to use mixed models to select cotton genotypes that simultaneously result in longer fiber length, higher fiber yield, and phenotypic stability in both of the...

The structure of lignins isolated from the herbaceous plants sisal ( Agave sisalana), kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus), abaca ( Musa textilis) and curaua ( Ananas erectifolius) has been studied upon spectroscopic (2D-NMR) and chemical degradative (derivatization followed by reductive cleavage) methods. The analyses demonstrate that the structure of the lignins from these plants is highly remarkable...
