EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NATURAL FIBER FROM CURCUMA LONGA PETIOLE

Dr. S. Yamuna Devi

Abstract


Researchers and scientists are looking forward to the new fiber sources for sustainable processing. The ultimate goal is to produce an organic fibrous material that can be utilized in the textile industry and to manufacture eco-friendly products. In this circumstance here emerges a fiber from Curcuma longa Petiole Fiber which has been attracted worldwide as a threat to biodiversity. Hence this paper highlights the physical, chemical and structural characterization of the fiber extracted from Curcuma longa Petiole Fiber. The fiber was examined for the physical properties such as fiber length, diameter, elongation, moisture absorbency, and fineness as well as mechanical properties by analyzing its tensile strength test

Keywords


Fiber properties, Length, Diameter, Elongation, etc.
