The image for woven kenaf fiber sample is shown in Figure- 1. Keywords: kenaf fiber; fibrous mortar; brickwork Abstract. The weave patterns are Twill 4/4, Satin 8/3 and Basket 4/4, while Plain 1/1 is used as a benchmark for its tensile strength. The first set of mechanical properties that were investigated in this study were the tensile strength, tensile modulus and elongation to break. The percentage ratio of holocellulose content, and of bast and core kenaf fiber was investigated. Fig. Influence of chemical treatment on the tensile properties of kenaf fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane composite Y. Two composition of HDPE/woven kenaf fiber were used i.e. In this study, three different nanosilica loadings, i.e., 5, 13 and 25 wt %, and untreated kenaf fiber yarns were used. Fiber processing is an important factor that affects the physical and mechanical properties of long kenaf fiber. Environmental awareness and depletion of petroleum resource issue have triggered an enormous interest in utilizing natural fiber as environmentally friendly and sustainable materials as an alternative to the existing material. Kenaf spin yarns have metric count from 12,000 to 25,000.Fibres spun from kenaf … Effect of Fiber Loading on Tensile Properties The effect of fiber loading on the tensile strength of PLA/kenaf bast fiber composites is depicted in Figure 1. In general, the mechanical properties of kenaf fiber are deteriorated after the moisture penetrates into the composite. The volume fraction of fiber and thickness of a hybrid composite was fixed at 40 vol.% and 3mm, respectively. A. El-Shekeil 1*, S. M. Sapuan1, A.

Experimental program. Fiber processing is an important factor that affects the physical and mechanical properties of long kenaf fiber. Table 1 Mechanical properties of kenaf fiber and resins. Results show that the presence of Kenaf fiber in concrete improved the properties such as splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and ultimate load of beam. Morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and tensile properties of kenaf fibers after different surface treatment are evaluated. This decrease is probably due to an insufficient amount of kenaf fiber to impart strength to the composite. Figure 3: Comparative Bar Chart of Tensile Strength of Various Composites. 90/10 and 80/20 to produce the composite materials using compression molding technique at processing temperature of 17 The s mples were underwent tensile test according to ASTM D638 standard. Abstract. Total fiber loading of the hybrid composites was 43 vol.%. Recently, α-cellulose (single fiber with low lignin content) has been successfully derived from kenaf bast fibers and has demonstrated better tensile strength and stiffness, as well as thermal stability when added to PLA composites (Talib et al. Kenaf (Hibiscus Cannabinus L.) fibres are thermally and alkali treated to enhance the interfacial bond between the fibre-matrix, the mechanical properties of the fibre itself, the fibre-reinforced thermally activated alum sludge ash (AASA) and the nanosilica (NS) blended cementitious composites. The fiber derived from the outer fibrous bark is also known as bast fiber. Figure 4. The tensile, flexural strength, and hardness of the composites increased with increasing fiber loading up to 43 vol.% and decreased above this value for kenaf/PF composites. Type of resin Density absorption, tensile strength and Young’ modulus were observed experimentally. Description of kenaf fiber in composite panel.

The respective fiber mass for each layer of square (200 x 200 mm) sample is shown in Table-1. fabric made from kenaf fibers woven into four different weave patterns. Kenaf fibre is a natural fibre from plant that has a potential usage as reinforcement material in cement and concrete. The better performance was attributed to the addition of MAPP due to improvements in the wetting of the filler surface. 2011). The bulk density of the fibers used was 1.2 g/cm3. Moreover, tensile and flexural strength and elastic moduli of the kenaf fiber-reinforced composites increased linearly up to a fiber content of 50%. Effect of various kenaf fiber content on tensile strength. The kenaf fibers used in this study were ob-tained from National Tobacco Board at Kelantan, Malaysia.
