Optimizing alkali treatment for ramie fabric enhances its properties for biodegradable composites. The best conditions yielded a breaking load of 518.28 N and elongation at break of 23.36%.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Textile Engineering
  • Polymer Science

Context:

  • Ramie fiber is a key component in textiles and biodegradable composites.
  • Alkali pre-treatment of cellulosic fibers improves adhesion with polymeric resins.
  • Optimizing this pre-treatment is crucial for material performance.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the impact of alkali treatment variables on ramie fabric characteristics.
  • To determine the optimal alkali treatment conditions for ramie fabric using response surface methodology (RSM).
  • To evaluate the effects of treatment on surface morphology, structure, and thermal properties.

Summary:

  • Response surface methodology (RSM) with the Box-Behnken technique was employed to study alkali concentration, treatment time, and temperature effects on ramie fabric.
