Reinforcing of Viscose Fabric Using Nano Web of Palm-Cellulose Carbon Mesoporous Nanoparticle Composite

Abstract

The research aims in reinforcing viscose fabric with extracted cellulose from the palm, which has been doped with carbon mesoporous nanoparticles (CMNs), and electrospinning on the surface of viscose fabric. Hence, the palm cellulose was extracted by a chemical process in different alkaline periods and doped with various concentrations of CMNs, and the solution was electro-spun on the aluminum surface. The morphology, tensile strength, and abrasion resistance of the produced nano web was investigated, and the best condition for preparing nano web was achieved. In the next step, the best condition was the electrospinning on the surface of viscose fabric as reinforcing the viscose, and the morphology (by FESEM), tensile force, abrasion resistance, thermal analysis (DTG, TGA, and thermal conductivity), air permeability, and moisture content of the composite was investigated. The results of this study show that reinforcing viscose fabric with nano web of palm-cellulose doped with CMN have a significant influence on enhancing the properties of viscose fabric.
