From XRD studies, it was found that the alkali treated fibers showed high crystallinity. The change in surface morphology of fibers was observed after alkali treatment with scanning electron microscopy. Based on the properties observed for alkali treated Grewia Orbiculata Rottler fiber, it is expected that these fibers will be suitable in natural fiber composites as filler.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
