DWARF-GREEN COCONUT FIBERS: A VERSATILE NATURAL RENEWABLE RAW BIORESOURCE. TREATMENT, MORPHOLOGY, AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

DWARF-GREEN COCONUT FIBERS: A VERSATILE NATURAL RENEWABLE RAW BIORESOURCE. TREATMENT, MORPHOLOGY, AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Dwarf-green coconut fibers were modified by alkali treatment and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), as well as thermogravimetric (TGA), mechanical, and dielectric analyses. Changes in composition, structure,...
