摘要

The aim of this research is to examine in depth the suitability of new cellulose fibres from a Cissus dinklagei liana as a potential reinforcement for polymer composites for use in construction. This article deals with the morphological, physical and mechanical properties of the fibres. The untreated and alkali-treated fibres were characterised at a time interval of T (30, 60, 90, 120, 210) minutes using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a tensile test to assess mechanical behaviour, and the chemical composition was determined using the TAPPI T 11 M 45 (1992) and ASTM (1972) standards. For the fibre treated for ninety minutes (T90), a Young's modulus E (5.06 ± 48) GPa was achieved. Micrographic analysis of the fibre revealed a honeycomb structure.
