Natural fiber-reinforced composites are generally known as eco-friendly, long-lasting, and recyclable materials. This study characterizes cellulosic Helianthus tuberosus L. fiber for polymer-based green composites for the first time. Helianthus tuberosus L. fiber has many advantages as a reinforcement material in polymer-based composites. For example, the high roughness of the fiber surface increases the locking into the composite body. One of the most critical advantages is its high thermal stability temperature of 247.3°C. Other advantages of the Helianthus tuberosus L. fiber are high cellulose content, high crystallinity, and high tensile strength. The hollow fiber structure allows its use in insulation materials. Finally, the high cellulose content of 62.65% supports its usage in various industries, including paper and paperboard manufacturing.
天然纤维增强复合材料通常被认为是环保、耐用且可回收的材料。本研究首次对用于聚合物基绿色复合材料的纤维素菊芋纤维进行了表征。菊芋纤维作为聚合物基复合材料的增强材料具有许多优点。例如，纤维表面的高粗糙度增加了其在复合材料基体中的锁定。最关键的优点之一是其247.3°C的高热稳定性温度。菊芋纤维的其他优点包括高纤维素含量、高结晶度和高拉伸强度。中空纤维结构使其可用于绝缘材料。最后，62.65%的高纤维素含量支持其在包括造纸和纸板制造在内的各种行业中的应用。
