Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "The exploration of new natural fibers in the field of polymer composites can contribute to increase the invention of natural reinforcements and expand their use in possible applications. in the present work, the physico-chemical, thermal, tensile and morphological properties of furcraea foetida (ff) fiber are presented for the first time. chemical analysis results shows that ff has relatively higher cellulose (68.35%) with lower hemicelluloses (11.46%) and lignin (12.32%). structural analysis of ff was conducted by fourier transform infrared and 13c (cp- mas) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis evidenced that ff has crystallinity index of 52.6% with crystalline size of 28.36 nmthe surface" ?
36 nmThe surface morphology of FF was investigated by scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ), energy dispersive X-ray micro analyzer ( EDX ) and atomic force microscopy ( AFM ).
