Abstract
The present work investigated the properties of long fibers derived from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) for the potential woven and non-woven textiles production. Several characterizations such as XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, DSC, and mechanical testing were carried out to understand the properties comprehensively. This study found that the OPEFB has the potential for the production of woven and non-woven textiles. The properties of OPEFB fibers were comparable with synthetics fibers that are commonly used in the textile industry. XRD analysis confirmed the structural properties, while the FTIR showed the biomolecules' bonding characteristics. In general, the physical and mechanical properties of the OPEFB fibers depend on surface modification and chemical treatments.
