Effects of kenaf loading and alkaline treatment on properties of kenaf filled natural rubber latex foam

This research was carried out to study the effects of kenaf loading and alkaline treatment on tensile properties, density, thermal and morphological properties of kenaf filled natural rubber latex foam (NRLF). Samples were prepared using a Dunlop method. From the results, increasing loading of kenaf...
