Abstract
The Amaranthaceae family plant, Aerva Tomentosa, grows abundantly in western Rajasthan, India. In the production of bio composites, the Aerva Tomentosa (Bui) can be used successfully as natural fibers. In this study, Aerva Tomentosa (Bui) fibers were extracted from the Bui plant and treated with an alkaline solution containing 5% NaOH. The investigation involved morphological and chemical characteristics of the extracted untreated Aerva Tomentosa fibers (ATF(0)) and extracted alkali treated Aerva Tomentosa fibers (ATF(1)). According to an analysis of ATF(0) and ATF(1) using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, both ATF(0) and ATF(1) included functional groups for cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The elimination of extractives from the surface of the fibers isolated from Aerva tomentosa is demonstrated by FESEM and EDS analysis. The surface of untreated fibers becomes smoother following treatment, as evidenced by FESEM images taken at various resolutions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Condensed Matter Nuclear Science is an open-access electronic journal that accepts scientific papers of high quality concerned with subjects relating to nuclear processes in condensed matter. Papers may focus on the results of experimental studies, theoretical studies, or a combination of these. Topics to which the journal is addressed include:- Calorimetry, energy production in metal hydrides and deuterides; Correlations, or lack of correlations, between energy production and possible nuclear products Materials science issues that are important for the development of nuclear effects in condensed matter Electrochemical issues concerning loading, surface chemistry, resistance diagnostics and other issues concerning metal hydrides and metal deuterides Observations of nuclear products, charged particles, neutrons, tritium, X-ray and gamma emission in metal hydrides Production of new elements or isotopes in metal hydrides and metal deuterides; and modification of isotopic distributions Induced radioactivity in metal deuterides and metal hydrides Accelerator experiments on metal deuterides and metal hydrides Models for nuclear processes in the condensed matter.
