Case Study Of Lemba Fibre
Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1 Backgroud Studies
For many decades, our society have been introduced into many new species of plant or animal that can be produced into new fibre resources. It is very amazing that natural fibre such as kenaf, flax, jute,hemp and sisal are in need compared with synthetic fibre which has very huge development in industry. Natural fibre in the nick of time, has become new resources of alternatives due to their inherent properties such as ease of fabrication, structural control, productivity, easy availability, less physical work, and cost reduction(Biagiotti, Puglia et al. 2004)
1.2 Problem Statement
Lemba Fibre is new discovered fibre but until now has not been fully introduced of its usage. There are many unique properties of Lemba Fibre which need to be discovered and to be unleashed to world. From our study, natural …show more content…
The fibres are usually obtained from the leaves by mechanically scraping away the non fibrous material. Above all the leaves fibres are used for production of cordage and ropes. The most important fibres of this group are sisal, henequen and abaca.
