Abstract

The article delves into the isolation and characterization of cellulose from Amaranthus viridis root hair waste and its application in developing pineapple fiber vinylester composites. The study emphasizes the potential of these composites in various industries due to their enhanced mechanical properties and eco-friendliness. The research involves the extraction of crystalline cellulose from the root hair of Amaranthus viridis and its incorporation into composites, highlighting the significant improvements in tensile strength, flexural strength, and compression strength. The addition of cellulose enhances the composite's overall performance, making it a viable alternative to synthetic composites. The study also explores the effects of silane surface treatment on both the fiber and particle, demonstrating improved toughness and bonding within the composite. The comprehensive analysis includes XRD, FTIR, SEM, and various mechanical tests, showcasing the superior properties of the developed composites. The research concludes that these composites have potential applications in automotive, aviation, sports, and other industries where strength, durability, and environmental sustainability are crucial.
