A laboratory study evaluated the use of kenaf bast fibers in papermaking. The plant grows in a wide range of conditions and yields 4-8 metric tons of dry fiber per acre. The outer bark of the plant contains the long kenaf bast fibers. Multiple regression analyses modeled such physical fiber properties as tensile strength, tear factor, and strength index. The concept of elasticity quantified the relative change in sheet strength in response to a change in a morphological or chemical fiber property. Fiber width, coarseness, and content influenced breaking length, tear factor, and sheet elasticity. Morphological parameters affected sheet strength more than did chemical parameters. Data suggested that the papermaking potential of bast fibers was similar to that of softwoods.
