Abstract

In this study novel natural fibers were extracted from Rumex obtusifolius L. Extracted fibers were dried for further analysis. The chemical composition was analyzed, revealing the following fiber contents: cellulose at 63.52 ± 1.51 %, hemicellulose at 27.15 ± 0.72 %, and lignin at 9.35 ± 0.57 %. Thermal behavior of the fibers was investigated by using thermogravimetric and derivative thermogravimetric analyses (TG and DTG) and it was found that fibers were thermally stable up to 237.55 °C (Tonset) and maximum degradation temperature (Tmax) was determined as 354.67 °C. Fiber diameter was varied in range of 226–539 µm and density was measured as 1.12 ± 0.74 g cm−3. The crystalline structure of the fibers was examined through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and the crystallinity index (CI) and crystallite size (CS) were determined based on the corresponding diffraction patterns. CI and CS values were determined as 69.81 % and 3.08 nm, respectively. The mechanical properties of the fibers were evaluated using a single fiber tensile testing method. The measured values for tensile strength, elastic modulus, and strain at break were 192.81 ± 43.33 MPa, 14.56 ± 3.27 GPa, and 1.45 ± 0.43 %, respectively. Result showed that the R. obtusifolius L. fibers are suitable for composite applications as reinforcement material.
