Properties of ligno-cellulose fiber Hildegardia

Studies on some properties such as the density, the degradation temperatures, the morphology and the spectral features of the ligno-cellulose fiber Hildegardia were carried out in both untreated and alkali treated form. The fibers are found to have good morphology and moderate initial and final degradation temperatures. On alkali treatment, the lignin was found to be eliminated. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
