The fiber is basically found in the bast (bark) of the plant. Figure 2.1 shows the exposed physical appearance of kenaf. FIGURE 2. 1. Exposed physical appearance of kenaf [13]. According to Aji, I.S. et al. [13], very high interests in kenaf cultivation in recent ye rs is due to two m in re sons; one is ken f’s bility to bsorb nitrogen nd phosphorus included in the soil Secondly is th t ken f’s bility to ccumul te c rbon dioxide at a clearly high rate. Longer, stiffer and more tensile than many wood fiber, kenaf bast fiber make an excellent reinforcing agent for a wide range of thermoplastic based composites [14]. In addition, according to Aji. I.S. et al. [13] also, kenaf bast fiber 4PDF Image | Woven Kenaf Reinforced High Density Polyethylene HDPE
