A review on synthesis and characterization of commercially available natural fibers: Part II

Abstract

Increasing environmental concerns, along with the potential declination of the crude worldwide reserves, have made the human beings to utilize more regenerable resources to substitute for the design and development of more new products. This has made us to use the synthetic and natural fibers to develop innovative products. However, more eco-friendly properties of natural fibers have made them to be preferable over the synthetic fibers. To make efficient use of these fibers, it is essential to know the behavioral characteristics of these fibers. So, in this review II paper, an effort has been made to discuss the various characterization analysis studies, like Fourier transform-infrared spectra spectral analysis, X-ray and thermogravimetric methods carried out by various researchers.
