“…Multi part of the samples were represented by a number of absorption peaks. The comparison between the spectra were established on the relative intensity of the peaks, taking as the band at 897 cm -1 , which attributed to C-O stretching vibration of amorphous cellulose, which indicates the β-glycosidic linkage between the monosaccharides [1,19]. The absorption peak at 1403 and 1140 cm -1 were the typical peak of cellulose in the natural fiber.…”

In the present study, the effect of alkaline treatment on the morphology and physico-chemical properties of Malaysian bamboo fibers was elucidated. The fibers were extracted from raw bamboo culm using alkaline solution with concentrations of 0 and 10 wt% at 24 hours and followed by roller milling techniques. The treated and untreated fibers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Apart from that, the mechanical properties of single fiber were also investigated. It was found that the tensile strength and modulus of the alkali-treated fiber were improved by 45.6 and 72%, respectively, compared to the untreated fiber. The surface morphology of the treated fiber was improved in which the surface roughness has been reduced significantly as proven in SEM. The FTIR and TGA data suggested that alkaline treatment gradually removed the lignin and hemicellulose. These findings highly recommended that, local bamboo fiber could be used as a reinforcement agent for composite making.

“…Numerous chemicals, such as halogen ion complexes, metal salts, and metal derivatives, have been used to provide antibacterial activity to CFs. Unfortunately, the antibacterial properties of CFs treated with these compounds decrease with time, and these compounds may be toxic to humans (Park et al 2011;Ramli et al 2014).…”

A copper-based metal-organic frameworks/cellulose fibers (HKUST-1/CF) composite was prepared by in situ and green method. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses revealed the functionalization of cellulose fibers (CFs) was successfully achieved by in situ deposition of HKUST-1 via a DMF-free green process. The synthetized HKUST-1/ CF composite exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The composite was more effective against Gram-positive S. aureus than Gram-negative E. coli. The optimization of process variables indicated that the novel composite could be prepared at room temperature for a short time.

“…Apart from that, EFB cellulose fibre has expanded to meet the demand in low-cost pulp and paper production. The hydrophilic structures of EFB cellulose fiber as well as addedchemicals (halogen ion, metal salt, and metal derivatives) are responsible for the antibacterial activity of the material (Ramli et al, 2014). As a potential material of nanocellulose fibre, oil palm EFB possesses high crystalline content and good mechanical properties.…”

The pulp and paper industry is advanced rapidly since there are many types of raw materials containing cellulose fibres that could be used to produce different kinds of paper by different methods in the mills. In Malaysia, one of the abundant non-wood materials for pulp and paper production is empty fruit bunch (EFB) from the oil palm. The EFB is the main fibrous residue and natural fibre which has promising potential as an alternative to replace woody materials. This study provides insight into the use of EFB as an alternative non-wood fibre resource in pulp and paper making. The potential of oil palm EFB transformed into valuable fibre material was elaborated. In this review, detailed information on the properties of EFB for pulp and paper making process to identify the chemical composition and fibre morphology were discussed. Recent advanced applications including nanocellulose from EFB, polymeric hydrogel, and antimicrobial papers were discussed to demonstrate high commercialization for pulp and paper technology. The three-dimensional (3D) printing technique has been employed due to the high complexity of paper products. The future trends and challenges regarding the use of EFB in pulp and paper making were also reviewed. This study demonstrated that the EFB has met the demand of the market chains as a potential raw material in paper making and manufacturing.
