Characterization Studies on New Cellulosic Fiber Extracted from Leucaena Leucocephala Tree

R. Gopinath et al.

Summary: The use and disposal of hazardous plastics contribute significantly to global issues such as global warming, sea-level rise, and climate pattern change. This study identified and characterized a novel cellulosic fiber derived from Leucaena leucocephala, which has high cellulose content, high crystallinity index, and exhibits high tensile strength and modulus. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the fiber is thermally stable up to 188.20 degrees C. Morphological analysis revealed a honeycombed porous surface that facilitates better bonding with polymer. The fiber's lower density, mechanical properties, and thermal stability make it a suitable alternative to synthetic fibers for making composites.
