Study on Physicochemical Properties and Potential Applications of Chemically Treated Luffa Sponge Fibers

To explore and expand the application of luffa sponge (LS) fiber, three methods were used to chemically modify the LS fibers. The nanoindentation (NI) results show that the LS fibers exhibit a high elastic modulus (12.4 GPa) and hardness (0.7 GPa). Upon treating the fibers with 5%NaOH-5%H2O2, the NI...
