This article reports on the extraction and characterization of novel natural cellulose fibers obtained from maize (tassel) plant. Cellulose was extracted agricultural residue (waste biomaterial) tassel. The tassel were after treatment with NaOH carefully characterized while chemical composition determined. showed that content increased 41% to 56%, following alkali treatment. FT-IR spectroscopic analysis confirmed this also shows way partial elimination hemicelluloses lignin structure fibers....
ABSTRACT The urgent need for sustainable alternatives to conventional packaging has driven extensive research into biodegradable materials that reduce pollution and support the circular economy. Here, we present a novel approach enhancing properties of poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) by incorporating high‐alumina content clay in varying amounts 0.25–2 weight percentages (wt%) using an ex‐situ fabrication method. This innovative composite design addresses limitations traditional PBAT...
The aim of the present work is to develop novel bio-based lightweight material with improved tensile and thermal properties. Spent tea leaf powder (STLP) was used as a filler improve properties polypropylene carbonate (PPC). Tea an important in hotels households, spent resulting solid waste. Composite films STLP were obtained by solution casting method. These characterized optical scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, testing...
Abstract The newly identified natural fabric from the tree Sterculia urens was characterized by chemical, FT-IR, X-ray and thermogravimetric, tensile test, microscopic methods. effect of alkali treatment on its properties also investigated. On treatment, amorphous hemicellulose found to be eliminated a large extent. improvement this attributed lowering content.
