Abstract: Natural fiber seems to be the most imminent alternative for chemically treated synthetic fibers. One of the bast fiber Kenaf which is being selected for the study is a feasible source of cellulose which is economically viable and ecologically friendly which could be utilized for extraction of fiber. This study is an attempt to explore the possibilities of Kenaf fibers by studying its extraction parameter and also its physico-chemical properties of the fibers. The mechanical properties of the fiber were also evaluated by Infrared studies (IR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test of the retted, degummed and bleached fibers.
