(2004) has revealed the two main attracting reasons of kenaf fiber. The peak friction angles of sand backfill only, as well as kenaf with sand backfill, were 35.63° and 27.66°, respectively, with the corresponding cohesion values of 11.33 and 9.26 kPa, as shown in Fig. The next step involved trials on kenaf biocomposites (Fig. The buildup and dissipation of excess pore pressure were monitored by using open standpipe piezometers. Then, 1-m-thick compacted weathered clay covered the silty sand backfill embankment at the top as well as at the side and back slopes. Core chips can be customized tailored to customer drop-in sizes. Boy 50A injection molding machine was used to manufacture test samples, keeping the temperature profile as provided in Table 4.4 and Figure 4.14. Tensile strength of polyester and kenaf–polyester sandwich composite [11]. Therefore it is easy to separate the stem by either chemicals or enzymatic retting. The maximum deformations of kenaf reinforcement layers were almost similar in magnitudes but far lower than the elongation at break. The pullout resistance on woven kenaf increased with increasing normal pressure. Kenaf, known as Hibiscus cannabimus L., is an herbaceous annual plant that grows in a wide range of weather conditions, growing more than 3 m within 3 months (Nishino et al., 2003). Large pullout tests were performed to evaluate the interaction between woven kenaf and sand backfill using normal confining pressures of 20, 40, and 60 kPa, which simulated the range of possible applied confining pressures in the test embankment. The stalks consist of two kinds of fiber: an outer fiber (bast) and an inner fiber (core). Kenaf and APP-based composites show some remaining residue content in TGA crucible pan, confirming some synergistic effects with char formation. The addition of natural fibers such as kenaf fiber and wood fiber into PLA has gained great interest from various researchers to improve the properties of PLA, including heat resistance behavior.

Heat deflection temperature of kenaf fibre reinforced soy-based biocomposites for (A) 30 wt% kenaf fibre injection moulded composite; (B) 33 wt% 6 mm kenaf fibre compression moulded composite; (C) 55 wt% 2 mm kenaf fibre compression moulded composite; (D) 56 wt% 6 mm kenaf fibre compression moulded composite; (E) 57 wt% 25 mm kenaf fibre compression moulded composite; (F) 53 wt% 50 mm kenaf fibre compression moulded composite; (G) 54 wt% long kenaf fibre compression moulded composite. 25.6). Shop Now . As a dicotyledonous plant, the plant stem consists of bast and core. Section view of test embankment. The chemical compositions of kenaf core fibers are listed in Table 1. The final sandwich composite was prepared with five layers containing three layers of polyester resins and two of kenaf fibers. The bark has contributed 30%–40% of the dry weight for the stem while the wood-like core makes up the remaining weight. Livraison en Europe à 1 centime seulement ! Follow us on Linkedin: stay connected and get in touch with the Composites Community. In addition, Kenaf fibers can be used as a raw material in many practical application fields, so separating the fibers from the core may be a better alternative. Therefore, some modifications have been done on the board in order to solve this issue. Then the specimen was left compressed overnight to dry. JEC Composites Industry Programs are a component of the JEC Group tradeshows. Figure 4.15. After there were enough layers, the specimen was compressed using a compression machine to squeeze out excess epoxy after it was covered with another metal plate. Whole stalk kenaf (bast and core fibers) has been identified as a promising fiber source for paper pulp (Nieschlag et al. A subsequent study on a similar material, including 50 wt% of kenaf fibres into a compatibilized polyethylene matrix, tried quite ambitiously to model creep behaviour from a 24 h creep test. Comparison of observed and predicted subsurface settlements at 6 m depth. Addition of hydrophilic natural fibers (kenaf) to hydrophobic plastic (PP) will result in a composite with poor properties due to nonuniform fiber dispersion in the matrix and an inferior fiber–matrix interface.

Figure 25.2. Abstract . Kenaf was also found to be the most promising candidate for paper production through a research programme conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Stronger virgin fiber may be needed as a replacement for hardwood, which is typically mixed with secondary fiber, in corrugating medium. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. The bast fiber can be compared to softwood, which is a high quality fiber typically used for commercial paper production. EFB and kenaf core fibers used for the experiments were obtained from Sabutek Sdn. Thus, similar magnitudes and settlement rates were obtained. Because the data from large-scale direct shear tests were lower, the interface coefficient 0.8 was used for subsequent analyses. Adsorption of Anionic Dye Using Cationic Surfactant-Modified Kenaf Core Fibers. Serious steps have been taken to address the issue, and Malaysia is fully committed in achieving this objective. Malaysia is also currently looking into the viability of kenaf paper production. The bast kenaf fiber has better strength properties than core fiber; hence it is more suitable for high strength applications. Kenaf fiber had been explored to enhance desired mechanical properties as an automotive structural components. 25.5. The average length of the core fibers ranges from 0.49 to 0.78 mm ( Nieschlag et al. This phenomenon further contributes to rapid spread of fire, thereby increasing the fire risk. Rouison et al. Connect with 2 000 companies from the entire composites industry. Fig. Quaternized kenaf core fiber (QKCF) was used as an adsorbent for adsorption of anionic Acid Blue-25 (AB) and anionic Acid Green-25 (AG) dyes. 7.6a shows a tractor hood made by compression molding. Kenaf stalks consist of 40% bast fiber and 60% core fiber. The results had indicated the mechanical properties of the concrete composite were comparable to plain concrete specimen. Core fibre 0.74 22.2 ± 4.5 13.2 ± 3.6 4.3 ± 0.7 Table 1 showed the dimension of kenaf fiber for the outer part (bast fiber) and an inner part (core fiber). (1998), the incorporation of 20 pph kenaf fiber significantly increased the HDT of annealed PLA from 99.7°C to 128°C. Kenaf fiber has the potential to replace synthetic fibers due to its low density, medium range tensile strength and stiffness, and extremely low cost of raw materials [12]. Kenaf core fiber (KCF) is a natural cellulose fiber derived from the plant and it is an important raw material for a variety of products. Kenaf is an annual species belonging to the Malvaceae family characterized by rapid growth and high biomass and used as a source of multipurpose fiber (Arbaoui et al., 2016). Table 4.6. Figure 4.15(a) shows that different sorts of fiber damage have taken place, by reducing initial fiber length during compounding. Malaysia has committed to reduce 40% of its greenhouse gas emission by the year 2020. Mechanized operation from seeding to harvesting is required for large-scale cultivation. Core Fiber Pulping and Alternative Uses. From tensile properties by the wide-width strip method (ASTM D4595-86, 2011), the plain pattern had the highest tensile strength, followed by hexagonal and knot-plain patterns (Artidteang et al., 2012). Jamil. The boron is capable to provide protection to postpone the heat transfer (Horrocks and Price, 2001). They found that the tensile strength of the pultruded kenaf fiber composites increased with an increase in the percentage of fiber by 50%. Copyright © 1996-2021 JEC Group. Mohd Hafizal Hamidon, ... Ahmad Hamdan Ariffin, in Failure Analysis in Biocomposites, Fibre-Reinforced Composites and Hybrid Composites, 2019. Lee Tin Sin, Bee Soo Tueen, in Polylactic Acid (Second Edition), 2019. Kenaf is an annual fiber crop adaptable to a wide range of climates and soil types. 7.4 shows a compression molder in which the base plate is stationary while the upper plate is movable. The core is used for absorbent materials such as oil spill cleanup material. The project was then presented to the Sabah state government. The full-scale field test embankment was constructed on soft Bangkok clay at the campus of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok in February 2011. The stalks consist of two kinds of fiber: an outer fiber (bast) and an inner fiber (core). The materials used in this research are glass fiber E-type, kenaf fiber, and jute fiber that are in the woven state. 25.7, 25.8, and 25.9, respectively. The relationships between maximum pullout resistance and normal pressure. Fire-retardant composites ignite earlier than pure PP, but their pk-HRR is substantially low due to the formation of intumescent char barrier after the ignition caused by the presence of APP. Also high on the agenda was the introduction of kenaf to the rural farming community as a means to raise their income. Lengths of kenaf are delivered onto the periphery of a saw cylinder so the toothed wheels snag the fiber and draw the kenaf across a grate. From: Comprehensive Composite Materials II, 2018, M.A. Abioye et al. As the environment becomes not only a major concern but also a source for development, public authorities far and wide are also getting involved, and many projects are emerging. Both parts showed good mechanical properties even with a different dimension. Traditional growers of kenaf are China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and the United States of America. Kenaf core fiber (KCF) is a natural cellulose fiber derived from the plant and it is an important raw material for a variety of products. [10]. The composites were prepared by sandwiching a layer of treated kenaf fiber between two layers of polyester films. Figure 4.13. 8.3 : Then two layers of glazing wax were applied on the surface of the metal and were left to dry each time for a couple of minutes. The trials showed that 6-8 week-old kenaf contains approximately 18% crude protein (Fig. 4) for timber replacement in applications such as floor decking, exterior and interior panels. (HASB) based in Sabah, Malaysia initiated a kenaf project back in the year 2000. Natural core and bast filters. On the other hand, pure PP starts to drip at an early stage of ignition under UL-94 V standard tests (Figure 4.18(a)), which leads to an increase in pool fire growth. HASB has carried out extensive research and development and trials. This can be attributed to the growing concerns of global warming and the rising price of petroleum-based products. All rights reserved. Figure 5.6. However, the poor mechanical properties of the renewable materials have limited the idea of using natural fiber. 1961). 7.2: Kenaf powders (in the specific field of application of wood powders). Curing of the composite may be carried out either at room temperature or at some elevated temperature. Kenaf bast fiber was digested with 5% NaOH solution (fiber: NaOH solution = 1 : 30 g/mL) in a hermetical reactor (Parr Instrument Co. 251 M) for one hour at four temperatures (80°C, 110°C, 130°C, and 160°C). This study investigated the use of kenaf core fiber as a feedstock for enzyme-enhanced fermentation. The use of kenaf fiber can provide mechanical properties, i.e., tensile strength, comparable to those of synthetic fiber with lower density than traditional materials, resulting in lightweight and eco-friendly polymer composites. If time is not sufficient, whether it is too high or too low, it can lead to defects. It has a unique combination of long bast and short core fibers. 1961). Business meetings are a component of every JEC Group event (JEC World, JEC Asia, JEC Forum in the US) that enables participants to meet highly qualified business contacts. Flammability Performance of Fire-Retardant Composites. The hermetical digestion process used in this study produced fibers with high cellulose content (84.2–92.3%) due to … Figure 25.3. Compression molding is a process in which two matched metal molds are used to fabricate composite product. Composites can be made by compression molding of PLA reinforced with kenaf fiber as well as cotton fibers. L.C. Kenaf fiber is one of the famous natural fibers used as a reinforcement in polymer matrix composites (PMC). Follow us on WeChat: stay connected and get in touch with the Composites Community. Furthermore, the high aspect ratio and long kenaf fibers could improve the PLA matrix and kenaf fiber interfacial adhesion effect by increasing the interfacial bonding strength. Table 4.4. However, other elements are also added, in the sense that MAPP has an influence on crystallization properties, which leads to the fact that melting temperature is somehow reduced (Feng et al., 2001). A major success was scored back in the year 2004, when the world’s first and only kenaf fibreboard factory under Panasonic Electric Works Ltd. was established in the state of Pahang. It can be noted from Figure 4.17(a) that the pk-HRR has been significantly reduced with the presence of natural fibers compared to pure PP, and it has been further reduced due to the presence of APP. Kenaf fiber has emerged as an important plant cultivated in third-world countries and has been regarded as an industrial crop. Kenaf Partners USA Provider of introductory and commercial quantities of kenaf seeds, fiber, wood core throughout the US. The specimens were cured after the specimen dried in an oven at 80°C for 2 h. In all, there were four configurations with seven layers each, as shown in Table 9.2. The project was a finalist in the Bio-based material category. The second layer, from 2 m depth down to 8 m depth, is the soft clay layer. The core is used for absorbent materials, such as Loss Circulation Material and oil spill cleanup material. Kenaf plants are capable of growing to a height of 20 feet under favorable conditions; however, heights generally average 8 to 14 feet in a growing season of 4 to 5 months. Throughout the trials, the crop showed good adaptability to local conditions. Take part in the Innovation Awards Competition and seize the opportunity to become a composites champion. These minerals were helped to increase the cumulative weed weight, crop height, stem diameter, and fiber yield. Observed and predicted average excess pore pressures at 6 m depth. The embankment was constructed by using silty sand backfill until 3 m height was reached and then covered by 1-m-thick compacted weathered clay at the top, back, and side slope. Nonoxidative decomposition of APP forms carbonaceous char with initial decomposition (T1max) and thereby develops an intumescence char layer promoting thermal barrier. Kenaf grows on various types of soil but is best grown during the rainy season for good yields. Kenaf is cultivated for its fiber in India, Bangladesh, U.S., Indonesia, Malaysia, South Africa, Viet Nam, Thailand, and parts of Africa, and to a small extent in southeast Europe. After the mechanical characterization tests were carried out, one configuration with the best mechanical properties was chosen and improved, as shown in Table 9.3. The core is used for absorbent materials such as oil spill cleanup material. Currently, HASB and the National Kenaf and Tobacco Board of Malaysia are jointly developing a 5-hectare plot for a kenaf variety test in Kota Marudu Sabah. Furthermore, other fire retardant filler candidates were chosen to conduct the same investigation and hoping to get the better result (Aisyah et al., 2013). If your company is dealing with automotive, aerospace, railway, building & civil engineering, sustainable energy, sports & leisure, medical… Should you come from fibers (carbon, glass, natural), resins, additives, machines & process, from intermediate to finished parts processors, JEC World is made for you. A study has used the kenaf bast fiber to reinforce in the concrete composite to compare its properties with the plain concrete (Elsaid et al., 2011). A.M.R. The volume fraction weights of polyester and kenaf fiber layers were controlled to maintain composites with a ratio of 70:30. Tecnaro GmbH successfully manufactured speakers shown in Fig. These products will be promoted as green renewable materials. The correction factor (μ) decreases with increasing overconsolidation ratio (OCR). First, twelve different kenaf varieties were imported from around the world to conduct cultivation trials on HASB’s farm land. Reinforcement and matrix are placed in the metallic mold and the whole assembly is kept in between the compression molder. As shown in the figure, the reinforcements were instrumented to measure its deformations using high-strength wire extensometers. The second fiber is short, spongy core fiber that resembles balsa wood. The pulps were then refined to 300 mL CSF. Kenaf.org is with Wave Hanson in making the world a more joyful, peaceful, and loving place. Research and Development of seed varieties that can grow in all USA latitudes. Malaysia and Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), respectively. Sheltami, in Natural Fibre Reinforced Vinyl Ester and Vinyl Polymer Composites, 2018. Other kenaf uses include animal forage, animal litter, a fiberglass substitute in molded plastic, a cellulose fiber … Thus, the plain pattern of kenaf can be applied for soil reinforcement. The bast fibers are long and similar in dimensions to those from softwoods, whereas the short core fibers are much like those obtained from hardwoods. If temperature is too high, properties of fiber may get changed. The kenaf mats were then laid up with resin at a ratio of 1 kg kenaf:1 kg resin. Kamal et al. Research indicates that it has high protein content (Clark and Wolff 1969; Killinger 1969). After that the mixture was applied evenly on the metal plate followed by a layer of the prepared material; then, the epoxy mixture was reapplied and this was repeated based on the configuration. 5) to replace glass fibres in exterior automotive parts such as front and back bumpers (Fig. Introduction For the sake of environmental protection and economic viability, a renewed interest in using lignocellulosic materials or natural fibers as reinforcing agents for thermoplastic composites has been stimulated in the recent decades [1]. Fig. One of the concept designs was selected for further development. An interesting study was also carried out by introducing fique mats in a low-density polyethylene matrix with aluminium films, obtained from the recycling of the nonpaper part of Tetra Pak. The powdered-core fibres will be processed into pallets for biofuel applications. After construction, the rates of settlement rapidly increased up to 250 days from the end of construction. The triple of photosynthesis rate of kenaf (23.4 mg CO2/dm2/h) compared to conventional tress (of 8.7 mg CO2/dm2/h) under 1000 µm mol/cm2/s helped to reduce the carbon dioxide while producing oxygen (Lam and Liyama, 2000).
