Treatment of plant fibers with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an effective solution to dissolve their non-cellulosic substances and reduce their sensitivity to moisture or water, and to improve fiber-matrix adhesion in composites. The presence of these non-cellulosic substances in Neuropeltis acuminatas (NA) fibers still limits their use in biocomposite development. In this study, tropical fibers extracted by wet retting from the bark of NA lianas native to Cameroon, were treated for the first time with NaOH solution at weight concentrations of 3%, 5% and 8%. Thermal, FTIR, and SEM analyses reveal that NaOH treatment is effective in removing non-cellulosic substances, resulting in thermal stability up to 230.3 °C, allowable friction capacity (1.25 |
