Thermo Gravimetric Analysis of Phoenix Sp. Fiber
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The natural Fiber composite offers unique properties compared to those of conventional synthetic Fiber CComposites. Thermal analysis is a vital technique to understand the structural properties of Fiber and its composites. The thermal behaviour of untreated and treated Phoenix sp. Fibers were was studied by using Thermo -Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Thermal analysis of Phoenix sp. Fiber is carried out by changing the concentration of chemical treatment. The chemically treated Phoenix sp. The natural Fibers treated with 15% NaOH have good thermal properties compared to other Fibers. Thermal stability seems greater for 15% NaOH treated Fiber followed by 5% NaOH treated Fiber, 10 % NaOH treated Fiber and untreated Fiber
