A CHEMICAL PROCESS FOR PREPARING CELLULOSIC FIBERS HIERARCHICALLY FROM KENAF BAST FIBERS

The objective of this research was to evaluate an all-chemical process to prepare nano-scale to macro-scale cellulosic fibers from kenaf bast fibers, for polymer composite reinforcement. The procedure used in this all-chemical process included alkaline retting to obtain single cellulosic retted fibe...
