Abstract Recently, abaca fibers have become the focus of specialized research due to their intriguing characteristics, with their outstanding mechanical properties being a particularly notable. In the conducted study, the abaca fibers underwent a preliminary treatment process involving an alkaline solution, which was composed of 0.5% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 50% acetic acid (CHCOOH). This process entailed immersing each fiber in the solution for a period of one hour. This treatment led to a 52.36% reduction in lignin content compared to the levels before treatment, resulting in a dramatic decrease in the full width at half… More >
