Challenges for Kenaf Fiber as a Reinforcement: A Review

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to reduce cost of production and decrease environmental pollution, so many research work has been conducted and still ongoing as to the possibility to use kenaf fiber in high technologies production. Its shows that kenaf fiber have potential reinforced fiber in thermosets and thermoplastics composites. This paper presents the various of challenges to produce kenaf as a reinforcement which mean to identify the limit of kenaf fiber performance after over all of challenging factor. The main factor that touch on interphase, water absorption, chemical treatment and fiber fraction which mean affect the performance of kenaf fiber as a reinforcement are discussed.
