Description 141-149
In this study, various unconventional fibres have been successfully extracted from crop residue of Canna indica, Areca
catechu sheath, Caryota urens spadix petiole, and Abelmoschus esculentus, and their physical, chemical, thermal, and
mechanical properties are studied. High cellulose contents of the fibres (20.5-67 wt%) provide better tensile strength
(525-563MPa) and ensure better bonding with the matrix. Moreover, the low density of the fibre (1.37-1.44 gcm−3) makes it an
alternative to hazardous synthetic fibres. The lower crystal size (0.5-12.9nm) structure tends to absorb more water than the
higher crystal size structure. The thermogravimetric analysis confirms its stability up to 150-300°C, which is higher than the
polymerization temperature. These characteristics show that the fibre may be effortlessly converted into nonwoven fabrics.
