Description
Summary:The aim of this research is to investigate sodium perborate tetrahydrate (SP) modification of cellulosic fibers. Flax, jute, and sisal fibers were treated with aqueous solutions of SP at three different concentrations. The changes in surface characteristics were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). No significant changes in the crystallinity index for all fibers tested were observed as SP treatments only produced surface modification. SEM images showed partial removal of non-cellulosic components occurred. Increased SP concentrations led to greater surface cleaning and fiber separation, imparting a more hydrophobic surface character.
