FTIR and Raman Studies of Cellulose Fibers of <i>Luffa cylindrica</i>

Abstract

In view of biomedical applications of cellulose fibers in orthopedics, dentistry and reconstructive surgery, Luffa cylindrica (LC), a local forest product of Orissa, India, has been used for preparation of alkali treated LC fiber modified with calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate separately by following standard procedures. FTIR and Raman spectra were obtained for these samples at wavelength range 500-4000 cm −1 and 300-3000 cm −1 respectively. Lattice structures of cellulose i.e., crystalline cellulose and amorphous cellulose were detected using Raman spectroscopy and discussed. The property of cellulose such as its degree of crystallinity was determined from intensity of FT IR peaks and was found to be 74.12%. The presence of calcite and hydroxy apatite, polymorphs of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate respectively were confirmed in the treated modified LC fibers which can be used as bioactive materials.

Influence of contents of chemical compositions on the mechanical property of sisal fibers and sisal fibers reinforced PLA composites

“…Tratamiento previo a la hidrólisis Además en la tabla 4-1 se observa que las técnicas más empleadas para caracterizar la celulosa son: microscopia electrónica de barrido (SEM), Microscopia electrónica de transmisión (TEM), difracción de rayos X (DRX) y Espectroscopia infrarroja por transformada de Fourier (FTIR). Entre estas técnicas, se ha informado que FTIR es una técnica particularmente potente, confiable, sensible, rápida y económica, que se utiliza para estudiar la estructura química, los grupos funcionales, examinar la formación de enlaces de hidrógeno inter e intramoleculares y correlacionarlos con las propiedades físicas (por ejemplo, solubilidad, reactividad de los grupo hidroxilo y cristalinidad) y mecánicas de la celulosa (Fan et al, 2012;Parida, Dash, & Pradhan, 2015;Trache et al, 2016).…”

Determination of the Conservation State of Some Documents Written on Cellulosic Support in the Poni-Cernătescu Museum, Iași City in Romania

“…Document S2 shows lignin according to the 1294 cm −1 peak (average signal) [35,38]. The 1120 cm −1 peak decreases with the aging of the paper medium [40] and is a clear indication of the fact that the documents are degraded.…”
