Recent developments of kenaf fiber rein-forced thermoset composites: a review

Kenaf fibers are recently upcoming reinforcement material to be used in composites. This is due to its low density, commercially viability, no health risk, high specific strength and modulus and renewability. It can also be cultivated in a variety of soil and is easily cultiva-ble in some countries....
