PHYSICAL, THERMAL AND TENSILE ANALYSIS OF SANSIVERIA ROXBURGHIANA LEAF FIBER

ABSTRACT

In this research work, the fibers were extracted from the leaf of the Sansevieria roxburghiana plant through a mechanical decortication process. The morphological structure of the fiber was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope and optical microscope. The chemical composition and crystallinity of the fiber were analyzed using Fourier transforms infrared, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The physical and tensile properties of the fibers were measured and compared with the cotton, sisal, and other varieties of sansevieria fibers. The average length of the fiber was around 7.6 cm and the density of the fiber was found as 1.41 g/cc. The thermal properties of the fiber were analyzed using Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis. TGA tests showed that the fiber is stable below 220^◦C temperature. The crystallinity of the fiber was measured as 46.42%. It is understood that Sansevieria roxburghiana can be suitably considered to use as reinforcement in green composite materials and other technical textiles sectors.

摘要

在这项研究工作中，通过机械脱皮工艺从刺梨叶中提取纤维。利用扫描电子显微镜和光学显微镜分析了纤维的形态结构. 利用傅里叶变换、红外光谱和X射线衍射技术分析了纤维的化学成分和结晶度. 对纤维的物理和拉伸性能进行了测量，并与棉、剑麻和其他品种的三叶草纤维进行了比较. 纤维的平均长度约为7.6cm，纤维密度为1.41g/cc. 采用热重分析（TGA）对纤维的热性能进行了分析. TGA测试表明，纤维在220℃以下稳定◦C温度. 纤维的结晶度为46.42%. 据了解，三叶紫檀可适当考虑用作绿色复合材料和其他工业用纺织品部门的增强材料.
