Abstract

A hitherto uninvestigated ligno-cellulosic seed fiber from the plant Pergularia Daemia has been chosen for the current study to unravel its physical properties, and potentialities in textile applications. The raw, NaOH treated, and wax removed fibers were tested for their morphological and structural features by X-ray diffraction, SEM, FT-IR spectra, and thermal analysis by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The raw fibers have low cellulose content and less crystalline compared to cotton and are having hollow, smooth surface, and less density. The brittle nature and low elongation at break of virgin fiber makes it difficult for the spinning. It becomes spinnable after NaOH treatment due to the increased elongation at break by partial removal of lignin.
