Abstract
The world is ever more demanding materials that are not only less intensive in terms of processing energy but also environmentally friendly. Presently, issues like generalized pollution and global warming are renewing the interest of natural materials in substitution for synthetic ones. In fact, natural lignocellulosic fibers are today the subject of a growing number of studies. In particular, the jute fiber, has been investigated by various mechanical and thermal analyses. With the intention to further characterize this fiber, a specific method was considered in this work, the infrared spectroscopy. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) was used to reveal the most typical absorption bands of specific molecular components of jute fibers, in order to understand the interaction that occurs between the jute fiber and a polymer matrix.
