Chemical Modification and Thermal Properties Kenaf FiberlPLA Bio-Composites
IntroductionThe matrix and reinforcements in advanced and basic composites are mostly petroleum based materials and synthetic fibers from organic or inorganic materials, respectively. Nowadays, as industry attempts to lessen its dependence on petroleum based fuels and products, there is an increasing need to investigate more environmentally friendly, sustainable materials to replace the existing ones I. The commonly named bio-composite is one of the results of such attempts. The bio-composites referred to herein are composites that combine natural fibers such as kenaf, jute, hemp, and sisal with either biodegradable. The purpose of this study was to fabricate bio-composites from kenaf fibers and poly(lactic-acid) (PLA) matrix fibers, in particular long and discontinuous natural and PLA fibers, using the commingling concept via the carding process and to investigate their mechanical properties. And this research is to study the chemical modification of kenaf fiber with silane coupling agent for improving its suitability as a reinforcing material in the performance of kenaf/PLA bio-composites.
