Morphological:?Raw fibers analyzed for chemical composition and surface morphology. Cellulose content 56.05-62%, hemicellulose 23.51-27.88%, lignin 9.95-12.29%, extractives 4.44%.?Agronomic:?Fibers derived from agricultural residue.?Use:?Potential for sustainable reinforcement materials in polymer composites, biocomposites, and cellulose nanocrystal extraction.?Treatment Response:?NaOH treatment at 2-8% w/v combined with Soxhlet extraction removes non-cellulosic components. Optimal treatment conditions identified for cellulose purification. |
