Abstract

Ecological problems, high cost, and non-renewability of petroleum and its derivatives have increased the research on new sustainable natural products. For this purpose, the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of Mentha pulegium L. (MPL) fiber, which may have potential for use in textile and composite sectors, were determined by extraction and characterization. Fiber density, length, and diameter were detected by physical tests. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin ratios of the fiber were obtained by chemical analysis and confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis. The surface morphology was identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, and the chemical components on the fiber surface were discovered by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Thermal degradation values of the fiber were found by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the fiber’s mechanical properties were determined by tensile test. As a result of the tests and analysis, MPL fiber has shown that it has potential for use in textiles and fiber reinforced composites.

Yaban Nanesi (Yarpuz) Bitkisinin Gövdesinden Ekstrakte Edilmiş Yeni Bir Selülozik Lifin Fiziksel ve Kimyasal Özellikleri

Abstract

Petrol ve türevlerinin ekolojik problemleri, yüksek maliyeti ve yenilenebilir olmayışı sürdürülebilir yeni doğal ürünlere olan araştırmaları artırmıştır. Bu amaçla tekstil ve kompozit sektöründe kullanım potansiyeli olabilecek yaban nanesi lifinin eldesi ve karakterizasyonu yapılarak fiziksel, kimyasal ve mekanik özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Fiziksel testler ile lifin yoğunluk değeri, uzunluk ölçümü ve lif çapı ölçülmüştür. Kimyasal analizler ile lifin selüloz, hemiselüloz, lignin oranları tespit edilerek, Fourier dönüşümlü kızılötesi (FTIR) spektroskopik analizi ile doğrulanmıştır. Yüzey morfolojisi taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) analizi ile belirlenerek, X-ışını fotoelektron spektroskopi (XPS) analizi ile de lifin yüzeyinde yer alan kimyasal bileşenler saptanmıştır. Yaban nanesi lifine uygulanan termogravimetrik analiz (TGA) ile lifin termal bozunma değerleri, çekme testi ile de mekanik özellikleri tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan testler ve analizlerin sonucunda yaban nanesi lifi tekstilde ve lif takviyeli kompozitlerde kullanım potansiyeli olduğunu göstermiştir.
