| Abstract: | The effect of three selected chemical degumming treatments on decorticated matured and over-matured ramie fibres has been studied. All the three treatments have been found to be satisfactory, less time consuming, inexpensive and remove gum contents effectively to below 6%, which is a requisite for textile use. The extent of degumming was judged by chemical estimation of gums and pectins, fibre tensile strength and surface features. IR spectral study revealed that the degummed and bleached ramie comprised only cellulosic materials. The methods are more effective on matured ramie. |
