This investigation summarizes the characteristics of biofiber extracted from the Perotis indica plant. Cellulose content (68.4wt%), density (785kg m(-3)), crystallinity index (48.3%), tensile strength (317-1,608MPa), and Young's modulus (8.41-69.61GPa) properties were identified in the P. indica fibers (PIFs), and thermal stability was studied using thermal gravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetric analysis, which revealed its cellulose degradation at a temperature of 339.1 degrees C. Further, the properties of PIFs ensured that it can play an imperative role as new reinforcement as green composites in the manufacturing industries.
