| 總結: | This study aimed to evaluate the chemical compositions, analytical and
Mechanical properties of Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus, L.) fibres blended with
polypropylene at various fibre loading and fibre length. The effects of electron
beam irradiation at dose 10 kGray and 1% maleated polypropylene (MAPP) on
this composite were also investigated.
Kenaf stalks with the age of 4 months obtained from MARDI, Serdamg
were defibrated with two types of processing method, namely wet atmospheric
pressurized refiner mechanical pulping (RMP) and dry hammermill process. The
fibres and particles from these two processes were oven dried and screened into
three different sizes: 1-2 mm, 0.5-1 mm, and <0.5 mm.
Fibres with length between 0.5-1 mm were used for chemical analysis
process. Results showed that kenaf fibre has higher cellulose and lower lignin
content than rubber wood fibre. The ash content of kenaf fibre was also lower
than empty fruit brunch. |
