Physico-Chemical Properties of Fiber Extracted from the Flower of Celosia Argentea Plant

This study was aimed at understanding the characteristics of Celosia argentea fiber (CAF) and its physicochemical properties. The physicochemical properties of CAF were analyzed by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, and AFM analysis. Cellulose content (64.34wt.%), density (843 kg/m3) and crystallinity index (52....
