This study shows the effect on the morphological structures and surfaces of kenaf fibres after being treated with hydrothermal treatments at three different temperatures using laboratory autoclave. Kenaf fibres were treated using hydrothermal treatments for 30 minutes. The morphology of the kenaf fi...
