摘要
The coconut palm tree leaf sheath fibers were analyzed by FTIR spectral analysis, Chemical, X-ray and thermo gravimetric methods to assess their suitability as reinforcements in the preparation of green composites. The morphology of the untreated and alkali treated fibers was studied by scanning electron microscopic method. The FTIR and chemical analyses indicated lowering of hemi-cellulose content by alkali treatment of the fibers. The X-ray diffraction revealed an increase in crystallinity of the fibers on alkali treatment. The thermal stability of the fibers was found to increase slightly by alkali treatment. The tensile properties of these fibers increased on alkali treatment. The mechanical and other physical properties indicated that these fibers were suitable as reinforcements for making the green composites.
利用傅立叶红外光谱分析、化学分析、X射线和差热分析等方法,分析和评价了椰子树叶鞘纤维在制备绿色复合材料的用作纤维增强体适应性。用电镜扫描的方法研究了经碱处理和末处理的纤维形态。FTIR光谱分析和化学分析结果表明,经碱处理的纤维中半纤维素含量降低;X射线衍射证实碱处理的纤维结品度增加。碱处理的纤维热稳定性略有增加,且抗拉性能也有所增加。综合机械和其他物理性能,这种椰子树叶鞘纤维增强体适用于制作绿色复合材料。图5表4参24。
