Determination of alkali treatment conditions effects which influence the variability of kenaf fiber mean cross sectional area

Fiber cross sectional area value is a crucial factor in determining the strength properties of natural fiber. Furthermore, unlike synthetic fiber, a diameter and cross sectional area of natural fiber has a large variation along and between the fibers. This study aims to determine the main an...
