| Abstract: | Oil-palm (Elaesis guineensis) leaf fibres have been extracted, softened with 5% ZnCl2 and 10% NaOH separately and then studied for their physical properties, such as structure, length, tenacity, torsional rigidity, moisture regain and relative dye uptake. The fibres treated with 10% NaOH alone have been found to be the best as they show minimum decrease in tenacity but maximum increase in crystallinity, extension-at-break, torsional rigidity, moisture regain and dye uptake. |
