This paper presents the tensile strength of woven kenaf fiber reinforced polyester composites. The as-received yarn kenaf fiber is weaved and then aligned into specific fiber orientations before it is hardened with polyester resin. The composite plates are shaped according to the standard geometry and uni-axially loaded in order to investigate the tensile responses. Two important parameters are studied such as fiber orientations and number of layers. According to the results, it is shown that fiber orientations greatly affected the ultimate tensile strength but it is not for modulus of elasticity for both types of layers. It is estimated that the reductions of both ultimate tensile strength and Young's modulus are in the range of 27.7-30.9% and 2.4-3.7% respectively, if the inclined fibers are used with respect to the principal axis.

“…In this research, kenaf fibres are selected based on their capability of modulus strength. Characteristic of woven and non-woven: According to some literature [7,8], woven fibre is have good mechanical properties compare to non-woven. Figure 2 shows the illustration image of unidirectional and woven on jute fabric.…”

This paper presents the combination technique in developing the woven kenaf fiber that is used as a new method to improve energy absorption performance. This method focuses on the effect energy absorption of angle orientation. Due to the low density, natural fiber such as kenaf fiber provides comparatively good mechanical properties. Thus, natural fibers have high potential for better reinforcement in light weight structures on automotive applications. Total force, total energy, and energy absorption of natural fibre reinforced composite for different type’s natural fibre and angle orientation are discussed and reviewed.

“…Recently, some of studies have been carried out to determine the effects of various variables on energy absorption capability of composites material under compressive loading [16]. According to some literature [18,19], woven fibre is have good mechanical properties compare to non-woven. According to the result, it can be concluded that woven structure exhibited excellent mechanical behaviour under tensile, flexural, and impact loading compare to non-woven composite.…”

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.
