Effect of Impregnated Inorganic Nanoparticles on the Properties of the Kenaf Bast Fibers

The objective of this research was to evaluate the properties of the chemically retted kenaf bast fiber impregnated with the inorganic nanoparticles. High quality kenaf bast fibers were obtained from a chemical retting process. An in situ inorganic nanoparticle impregnation (INI) process was used to...
