Article Synopsis
- The review emphasizes the potential of using kenaf fiber reinforced PLA composite filaments in fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, showcasing its advantages in small-batch production.
- While natural fiber-reinforced polymers are gaining popularity, issues such as uneven printing and clogging remain significant challenges for effective use in FDM 3D printers.
- Kenaf fibers, known for their low cost and lightweight properties, have not been extensively studied despite their strength benefits, prompting the review to advocate for their greater adoption in PLA composite filaments for enhanced sustainability and market acceptance.
This work investigates the extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from bamboo fibre as an alternative approach to utilize the waste bamboo fibre. In this study, bamboo fibre was subjected to acid hydrolysis for efficient isolation of CNC from bamboo fibre. The extracted CNC's were morphologically, characterized via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
