Content
The present study deals with natural lignocellulose fibril extricated from habara plant. The fibrils are found to possess high level of amorphous constituents. KOH Surface modification of fibrils at 5wt% enhanced the crystallographic index of habara plant fibers. The thermal stability of the fibers is found to be promising in comparison with unexposed habara plant fiber. The reinforcement of habara plant fibers with epoxy matrix contributed to utmost tensile and flexural strength of 79 MPa and 121 MPa. Scanning electron microscope analysis exposed the intricate surface of habara plant fibers are porous and rough in nature of the fibers subjected to KOH modification. The foresaid composites as application in automobile interior will result in reduction of land filling caused by man made fibril fortified polymer composites.
