摘要

Novel natural fibers in polymer-based composites will aid in developing novel reinforcing and potential uses for fibers. This study investigates the thermal, morphological, chemical, and mechanical characteristics of extracted rattan fibers. These characteristics were thoroughly investigated and analysed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile testing, and chemical component analysis. The component analysis results suggest that Calamus andamanicus Kurz fibers CAFs have more significant cellulose (53%) content than hemicellulose, lignin, pectin, and water-soluble extract. SEM pictures showed the fiber's rough surface, which improved the interfacial adhesion between fibers and the matrix in composites. The C. andamanicus has a crystalline index of 40.86% and a crystal size of 0.62 nm. The average tensile strength may reach 46.7 MPa, which helps improve the mechanical characteristics of andamanicus fiber-reinforced bio-composites utilized in various semi-structural applications.
