“…In the literature, it has been determined that the cellulose ratios of the fibers obtained from different parts of the plant such as roots, stems and leaves vary, and this obviously affects the mechanical properties [ 69 ]. The mechanical properties of the fiber can be improved by removing non-cellulose contents with chemical surface treatment applications [ 25 , 38 , 64 , 70 ].…”

“…It is thought that fiber/matrix surface compatibility will improve by removing the impurities on the surface as a result of increasing the existing cellulose ratio of natural fiber with chemical treatment processes [36]. Therefore, cellulosic fiber characterization studies are in great demand as they have the potential to be used in different industries, and the number of studies on characterization continue to increase in the literature [37][38][39].…”

Natural fibers extracted from plants are preferred as an alternative to synthetic products. The main reasons for this preference are their affordable cost, light weight and good mechanical properties. However, finding new natural raw materials is challenging due to growth limitations in different geographical areas. Platanus orientalis L. (Eastern plane tree) is a tree with abundant fruits that can grow in many regions of the world. The aim of this study was to determine the mechanical (tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation), physical (density, fiber diameter) and chemical (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) properties of Platanus orientalis L. fruit’s stem by fiber extraction from the stems of the tree. It was determined that the extracted fiber had good mechanical properties and cellulose content of 42.03%. As a result of thermogravimetric analysis, it was determined that the plane tree fruit’s stem fiber had thermal resistance of up to 299 °C. The tensile strength value was 157.76 MPa, the tensile modulus value was 1.39 GPa and the elongation value was 22.01%. It was determined that it is suitable for use in fiber reinforcement in thermoplastic-based composites at temperatures below 299 °C. According to the results obtained by the mechanical, chemical and physical analysis of Platanus orientalis L. fruit’s stem fiber (PoLfs), it could be recommended as a suitable alternative as a reinforcing fiber in thermoplastic and thermoset composites.
