This research was carried out to produce a new composite material from kenaf (Hibiscus Cannabinus) bast fiber and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU/KF). The effect of processing parameters (i.e. temperature, time and speed in the internal mixer) on tensile strength were studied. The effect of different fiber sizes; namely, <125, 125-300, and 300-425 μm on tensile, flexural, and impact strengths and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were studied. Fiber loading (i.e. 20, 30, 40 and 50 % fiber by weight) was tested using tensile and flexural properties and impact strength. Further characterizations for the 30% fiber loading using hardness and abrasion resistance were performed. Effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment on TPU/KF mechanical prop...
