Effect of various kenaf fiber content on tensile strength. Description of kenaf fiber in composite panel. Tensile Strength of Woven Kenaf Reinforced High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Composites . Abstract. Kenaf fruits have been found useful in treating metabolic diseases such as atherosclerosis, liver disease, cancer and diabetes. 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. Alkali concentration used was 3%, 6% and 9% for 3 hour at room temperature. Hence, the fibre Fig. The kenaf fibers used in this study were ob-tained from National Tobacco Board at Kelantan, Malaysia. In this study, three different nanosilica loadings, i.e., 5, 13 and 25 wt %, and untreated kenaf fiber yarns were used. 5. Preliminary study on kenaf fibrous concrete found that kenaf fibre has good properties mainly to improve tensile and flexural strength of concrete. Table-1. The image for woven kenaf fiber sample is shown in Figure- 1. The percentage ratio of holocellulose content, and of bast and core kenaf fiber was investigated. To start with, both the tensile strength and tensile modulus of the unstitched and silk-fiber-stitched woven kenaf composites were studied. Type of resin Density Figure 5. This paper investigates the influence of silica nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of a unidirectional (UD) kenaf fiber reinforced polymer (KFRP) and hybrid woven glass/UD kenaf fiber reinforced polymer (GKFRP) composites. Impact strength of kenaf/PF composite showed a trend of increase with increasing fiber … In general, the mechanical properties of kenaf fiber are deteriorated after the moisture penetrates into the composite. The incorporation of the kenaf fiber into the TPNR matrix resulted in an improvement in the tensile strength and Young's modulus. The better performance was attributed to the addition of MAPP due to improvements in the wetting of the filler surface. Experimental program. absorption, tensile strength and Young’ modulus were observed experimentally. Figure 3: Comparative Bar Chart of Tensile Strength of Various Composites. Kenaf fibers have a tensile strength of 223–930 MPa and a modulus of 14.5–73 GPa, which are comparable to those of E-glass fibers that have a tensile strength of 1000 MPa and a … Tensile modulus Temperature Duration Mean COV N.

However, the maximum strain and impact strength decreased with increased filler loading. The water absorption characteristic had an effect on the tensile properties of Kenaf fiber composites, and the The physical-mechanical properties, such as color, tensile strength, and moisture regain (MR), are the main characteristics that influence the processing and performance on the final products from kenaf fiber. Kenaf bast fiber has superior flexural strength combined with its excellent tensile strength that makes it the material of The first set of mechanical properties that were investigated in this study were the tensile strength, tensile modulus and elongation to break. The strain to failure increases from 1st day until 3rd week followed by a drastically drop at 4th week. The fiber derived from the outer fibrous bark is also known as bast fiber. 2008). 2.1.1 Kenaf fiber. This decrease is probably due to an insufficient amount of kenaf fiber to impart strength to the composite. composites having high strength properties (Huda et al. Moreover, tensile and flexural strength and elastic moduli of the kenaf fiber-reinforced composites increased linearly up to a fiber content of 50%. These fibers have higher tensile strength than other fibers. tensile strength before and a er the weathering test. 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 optimization results, obtained using the optimization part of Design‐Expert Software, showed that the most optimal tensile strength and tensile modulus were to be 32.70 MPa and 2,182.33 MPa, respectively; and achieved at 28.95 wt% of the kenaf fiber, fiber length of 6.22 mm and PP‐g‐MA content of 5 wt%. Figure 4. The volume fraction of fiber and thickness of a hybrid composite was fixed at 40 vol.% and 3mm, respectively. Figure 3. Kenaf has a single, straight and branchless stalk. 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. Type of resin Tensile strength (MPa) Young’s modulus (GPa) References Kenaf fiber 129 12.50 ASTM D3379-75 Epoxy 19.13 5.82 Polyester 14.02 2.61 Vinyl Ester 7.00 1.63 ASTM D3039 Table 2 Specifications of resins. A. El-Shekeil 1*, S. M. Sapuan1, A. Khalina 2, ... of COMP2 decreased the tensile strength and strain; however, it slightly increased the tensile modulus. The unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites showed tensile and flexural strengths of 223MPa and 254MPa, respectively. The reason for the use of different weave patterns is to reduce the crimp percentage as it may increase the tensile strength of the fabric. 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. Textile industry applications: Kenaf Fiber is the thinnest and longest are used in the textile industry. Two composition of HDPE/woven kenaf fiber were used i.e. A % drop in tensile strength from to MPa can be observed from Figure .However,thehybridcompositeshowed % dropintensilestrengthfrom toMPa. Effect of various kenaf fiber content on tensile modulus. 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. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of different surface treatment namely magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on the properties of kenaf fiber for different molarities. However, it reduced ... 40/60 and 30/70 Weight fraction ratios and tensile strength of Jute - glass fiber reinforced polyester are evaluated. Influence of chemical treatment on the tensile properties of kenaf fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane composite Y. 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. With addition of 10 wt% of unbleached kenaf fiber, the tensile strength of PLA decreased from 53.6 MPa to 38.5 MPa. Referring to the tensile strength, kenaf mat compos ite seems stronger. Another treatment was immersion of kenaf fiber in 6% alkali concentration at 95oC. The effect of the mechanical strength of the hybrid composties is investigated. 1 Kenaf stem (a) and Kenaf fiber (b). The results revealed that the addition of 10wt % fly ash particles with natural fiber composites increased the tensile strength of composites while hybridization with glass fibers reduced the water absorption properties. fabric made from kenaf fibers woven into four different weave patterns. Moisture absorption behavior and its effect on the tensile properties of hybrid composites are also investigated. 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. In the current project, Kenaf fiber (K) and carbon fiber (C) with epoxy resin were utilized to form carbon-kenaf hybrid composites using a vacuum infusion technique. The incorporation of 10 wt% of bleached fiber to BC composite still exhibited a low tensile strength with 42.9 MPa. From the Tensile Test Results it is evident that all the specimens show appreciable improvement of mechanical properties. 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. 2008; Khalid et al. A theoretical model for the analysis and design of Kenaf fiber reinforced concrete materials and structural beam elements was proposed and evaluated. The respective fiber mass for each layer of square (200 x 200 mm) sample is shown in Table-1. Kenaf stalk is made up of an inner woody core and an outer fibrous bark surrounding the core.
