Preparation and characterization of lotus fibers from lotus stems

Cellulase Enzyme Based Wet‐Pretreatment of Lotus Fabric to Improve Antimicrobial Finishing withA. indicaExtract and Enhance Natural Dyeing: Sustainable Approach for Textile Finishing

“…An absorption peak at 2886 cm −1 was observed, which assigned to the stretching vibrations of C−H and C‐H 2 . The C=O stretching of methyl ester and carboxylic acid in pectin or acetyl group in hemicellulose is attributed to the vibration peak at 1700 cm −1 and 1743 cm −1 in the spectrum [6,29] …”

“…For region 3, the cellulase enzyme treated lotus fabric has better thermal stability compared to untreated lotus fabric due to the higher cellulose content. [6]…”

“…[5] It is widely cultivated throughout Asian countries owing to its aesthetic, religious, and industrial value, simple cultivation techniques, low cost, and high yield. [6,7] The lotus stem and the lotus roots could be utilized as a natural cellulose resource for textile, as well as for paper, and construction and industries. [7] After harvesting of lotus flowers during blossom season, substantial amount of lotus root and stems remain in pond as waste or residue.…”

“…Lotus is a perennial aquatic plant which is native to subtropical and temperate zones [5] . It is widely cultivated throughout Asian countries owing to its aesthetic, religious, and industrial value, simple cultivation techniques, low cost, and high yield [6,7] . The lotus stem and the lotus roots could be utilized as a natural cellulose resource for textile, as well as for paper, and construction and industries [7] .…”

Study on mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of poly(lactic acid) based biocomposite reinforced with lotus fiber

“…The preparation and properties of LFs have been discussed in some studies. [10][11][12] Results of these studies suggested that LFs may be used as a reinforcement agent for composite materials for various industrial fields, such as the textile, medical, automobile, and aerospace industries.…”
