| description | The purpose of this study was to investigate the extract of <i>Catalpa bignonioides</i> plants and characterize novel natural cellulosic fibers from the fruits as an alternative material for sustainable products. The <i>Catalpa bignonioides</i> tree contains pharmacologically active compounds and is found all over the world. The sustainable natural fibers were easily extracted in an environmentally friendly manner from the fruits of the plant and characterized in terms of their chemical, thermal, and physical properties. The <i>Catalpa bignonioides</i> fibers (CBF) were composed of cellulose (58.3%), hemicellulose (3.1%), and lignin (38.6%) and had a low density (0.713 g/cm<sup>3</sup>). Fourier transform (FT-IR) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were used to search for the chemical groups, crystalline structures, and surface morphology of the CBF fibers. The results suggest that CBF fibers are a suitable alternative for composite and textile applications. |
