| Summary: | In this paper, an extraction and characterization of nano fibrils has been performed to understand the behavior of cotton fibers. Basically, fibers are used to form some light weight composite materials and they provide strength to matrix, but a natural fiber contains number of bio-properties which are not necessary to build up a composite material. So, here a quality method is required to extract those properties from it. Many researches had been performed over the extraction method of unnecessary properties from natural fibers. Cellulose is the only property of natural fibers which helps to increase the tensile strength of natural fibers. To extract the cellulose from the cotton, natural fibers undergo some chemical treatments such as alkali treatment, bleaching, and acidic treatment. After the extraction of cellulose, fiber undergoes various testing for the morphological and thermal behavior of extracted fibers. These tested fibers were used to make composite. Validation and designing of composite had been done by using ANSYS. After development of composite using epoxy as a matrix, these composites went under some non-destructive and destructive testing. |
