Physicochemical and Thermal Properties of Ceiba pentandra Bark Fiber

ABSTRACT

Owing to their low weight-to-high strength ratio and recyclable features, the natural fibers are the most potential choice in place of synthetic fibers and been used as reinforcement materials in polymer matrix composites. Characterization of Ceiba pentandra bark fibers (CPFs) such chemical analysis, Fourier Transform-Infrared Analysis (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and Differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG) analysis has analyzed. CPFs contain 60.9% (w/w) of cellulose, 17.5% (w/w) of hemicellulose, and 23.5% (w/w) of lignin. Besides, its density and crystallinity index are 682 kg m⁻³ and 57.94%, respectively. TG and DTG analysis discovered that CPFs are thermally stable up to 342.1°C. Further, all the resources of CPFs ensured that it can be an excellent alternative for synthetic fibers in polymer matrix composites.

摘要

天然纤维由于其重量轻、强度高、可回收利用等特点，是取代合成纤维的最有潜力的替代材料，被用作聚合物基复合材料的增强材料。树皮纤维的特性（Ceibapentandra CPFs）等化学分析、FTIR、X射线衍射、热重分析、重分析分析了。CPFs含有60.9%（w/w）纤维素、17.5%（w/w）的半纤维素和 23.5%（w/w）木质素。此外，它的密度和结晶度指数是 682公斤米−3和 57.94%，分别。TG和DTG分析发现CPFs是热稳定的高达 342.1°C.此外，报表确保它可以在聚合物基复合材料的合成纤维的一个很好的替代所有的资源。
