Extraction and Characterization of a New Natural Cellulosic Fiber from Bark of Ficus Carica Plant as Potential Reinforcement for Polymer Composites

Extraction and Characterization of a New Natural Cellulosic Fiber from Bark of Ficus Carica Plant as Potential Reinforcement for Polymer Composites

High specific strength and modulus of fiber-reinforced polymer composites tend to be the reason for replacing many metallic structures. Synthetic fiber (E-glass) becomes a risk for health and leads to cancer. Ficus Carica (FC) bark fiber undergoes comprehensive characterization analysis such as Ther...
