KENAF-FIBER-REINFORCED RESIN COMPOSITION

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a fiber-reinforced resin composition suitable for producing molded articles for products such as electrical and electronic equipment. The object has been achieved by a biodegradable resin composition containing a kenaf fiber, which contains a kenaf fiber in an amount of 10 to 50% by mass. In this case, the biodegradable resin is preferably a crystalline thermoplastic resin, particularly polylactic acid. The average fiber length (number average fiber length of the fibers excluding fragments) of the kenaf fiber is preferably 100 mu m to 20 mm, and the kenaf fiber preferably contains a kenaf fiber having a fiber length of 300 mu m to 20 mm. As the kenaf fiber, a fiber prepared from bast of kenaf is preferred.
