Abstract
ABSTRACTThe characterization of new natural fiber is increasing due to its excellent properties. This drives investigators to create high performance composites. The present investigation was designed to study the physicochemical properties of fibers obtained from the leaf of the Artistida hystrix. The Artistida hystrix fibers (AHFs) had crystallinity index (44.85%), cellulose (59.54 wt%), hemicellulose (11.35 wt%), lignin (8.42 wt%), and density (540 kg m−3). The tensile strength of AHFs was 440 ± 13.4 MPa with an average strain rate of 1.57 ± 0.04%. The calculated microfibril angle of AHFs was 12.64 ± 0.45°, which influenced the mechanical properties.
