“…Even whole hemicellulose is removed, lignin residue is still present in the fiber structure, what is confirmed by the small peak at about 1240-1250 cm -1 , that correspond to C-O vibration was also attributed of lignin [18]. Samples presented little absorptions between 1500 cm -1 and 1400 cm -1 , which correspond to unsaturation (C=C) in the molecules, which may be related to the waxes, extractives and lignin, and is in agreement with the lignocellulosic natural fibers [19]. This region could be also characterized by the aromatic ring vibrations and ring breathing with C-O stretching in lignin.…”

Novel elastomer biocomposites based on straw fibers (raw or chemically modified) as reinforcing elements of natural rubber (NR) were reported and studied. Oat straw fibres with different average lengths were used. Lignocellulose materials were incorporated into the elastomer, before and after chemical surface modification involving sodium hydroxide. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and microscopy techniques were employed for characterization of fillers. The kinetics of rubber mixtures, as well as rheometric properties of compounds were determined. The cross-linking density was executed on the basis of equilibrium solventswelling measurements applying the modified Flory-Rehner equation. The morphology of biocomposites samples was analyzed by a scanning electron microscopy. Mechanical characteristic: the values of hardness, tensile strength and attenuation coefficient were also determined. The physical and chemical investigations have proved the reinforcing effect of treated oat straw on natural rubber vulcanizates.

The chemical, morphological, physical, and thermal properties of raw materials and single fibers extracted from different morphological parts of windmill palm were examined and comprehensively characterized after an alkali treatment. Leaf sheathes (LS) with the highest cellulose content (52.26%) achieved the most efficient extraction of fibers. Single fibers extracted from the vascular bundles of the windmill palm raw material had a slender shape with a tapering and sealing terminus, with each single fiber possessing a lumen in its cross-section. These windmill palm fibers displayed similar chemical compositions, but they exhibited significant differences in morphological parameters. Leaf blade fibers (LBFs) had the longest length (1240 μm ± 470 μm) and highest aspect ratio (121.39), which presented excellent potential as a reinforced fiber. After the alkali treatment, almost all of the hemicelluloses and lignin were removed, which resulted in increased crystallinity of extracted fibers. Thermogravimetric analysis confirmed LS stability up to 319 °C, which was higher than that of other materials from windmill palm.

“…The chemical composition of AESF were summarized and compared with those of other common agro waste fibers in Table 1 [13,27,28]. The variance existing between the chemical compositions of unconventional fibers is because of age and part of the plant where the fiber was extracted, extraction procedure, and soil and weather conditions [26] .…”
