ANHYDRIDE MODIFICATION OF CULTIVATED KENAF BAST FIBERS: MORPHOLOGICAL, SPECTROSCOPIC AND THERMAL STUDIES
Kenaf bast fiber was chemically modified by using propionic and succinic anhydrides. Five retention times were compared: 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes at 100°C. Confirmation of anhydride modification was established by the weight percent gain (WPG) and was further confirmed by Fourier Transform...
