Abstract

Henequen fibers were treated by electron beam irradiation and by NaOH to make surface modification for better bonding in the manufacture of biocomposite. Impurity removal and carbonyl group formation were noticed in the previous study by electron beam irradiation, but extensive cellulose degradation were also noticed. To evaluate the effects of electron beam irradiation on cellulosic fibers further, henequen fibers, cotton pulp, cotton fibers, and cellophane were irradiated by electron beam, and their changes of cellulose viscosity, chemical composition, and tensile strength were measured and analyzed.
