Kenaf fibers generally has some advantages such as eco-friendly, biodegradability, renewable nature and lighter than synthetic fibers. However, their mechanical properties are lower than synthetic fibers. Hybridization of bio-fiber with a synthetic fiber could improve the mechanical properties of co...
