Characterisation of Elementary Kenaf Fibres Extracted Using HNO3 and H2O2/CH3COOH

Abstract: In this study, elementary kenaf fibres were separated from fibre bundles using two different treatments. The first involved treating with nitric acid (HNO3) while the second used a mixture of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and acetic acid (CH3COOH). Both treatments were successful in isolating the elementary fibres but the H2O2/CH3COOH gave a better fibre yield and required a shorter treatment time. The fibres treated with HNO3 had an average length of 0.2 mm, an aspect ratio of 15 and a defect density of 21 defects… Show more

“…Pandanus tectorius fiber with alkaline treatment can strengthen the fiber hence the pandanus tectorius fiber-reinforced composite is an environmentally friendly fiber alternative [32]. The H2O2/CH3COOH and HNO3 treatment of removed lignin, pectin, waxes and They also increased cellulose crystallinity in the fibers, especially for HNO3 treatment [33]. Alkaline treatment of pineapple leaf fiber increases the crystalline properties of the fiber [34].…”
