This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural plant fibers fibres are being increasingly used in manufacturing industrial products because of their renewable and biodegradable natures. Kenaf is an annual bast fibre crop that can provide fibres for several industrial applications (composites, insulation mats, absorbents, bedding material, etc.) as well as raw material for energy exploitation (solid biofuels). Kenaf: A Multi-Purpose Crop for Several Industrial Applications introduces the physiology and field management of kenaf, agronomy, productivity, harvesting as well as its the industrial and energy uses of this promising non-food crop. Including recent research collected by the BIOKENAF project, Kenaf: A Multi-Purpose Crop for Several Industrial Applications provides a global picture of state of the art research and developments with Kenaf from Asia, USA and Australia. This thorough introduction if followed up with an assessment of the crops economic viability as well as an the environmental impact assessment of kenaf. Although not a new crop, Kenaf: A Multi-Purpose Crop for Several Industrial Applications provides a comprehensive introduction to this crop and its developing applications for energy engineers, industry managers, politicians and managers working to develop sustainable energy sources and bio-economies.

This book was released on 2023-09-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Chemistry - Materials Chemistry, , course: Chemical Engineering, language: English, abstract: This study aims to understand how the combination of knaf fibers and sol-gel Silica affects thermal stability. The thermal stability and degradation kinetics of kenaf/sol-gel silica hybrids are important topics in the field of composite materials. Kenaf is a natural fiber derived from the bast of the kanaf plant and has high strength and biodegradability. The thermal stability of kenaf fibers can be influenced by various factors, including fiber treatment and hybridization with other materials. The unidirectional kenaf hybrid composite possesses higher tensile strength, while the woven kenaf hybrid composite exhibits more consistent fatigue behavior. The hybridization with kenaf fibers improves the fatigue degradation coefficient of the composites. Chemical changes in kenaf core binderless particleboards, such as degradation of hemicelluloses, lignin, and cellulose, affect the bonding performance and thickness swelling of the boards. Delignified wood, prepared using alkaline delignification methods, shows potential for creating novel functional materials due to its hydrophilic nature and possible sites for functionalization.

Book excerpt: KENAF, Seeds for Life is an educational children's book about kenaf. Kenaf is a versatile plant with a myriad of uses that is virtually unknown and little cultivated in the United States. This book introduces us to what the plant is and also goes into some of its many uses with the hopes of bringing Kenaf production to the United States. This book is quite simple yet engaging for inquisitive teachers and students. It should lead to much fun for discussions in the classroom and in the garden.
