Morphological changes and colour adherence of selected natural fibres

The vegetable fibres are obtained from plant source and are cent per cent bio degradable. Now a days the global consideration is cradle to cradle effect which bothers about the recycling and disposal of the finished goods. Though all the vegetable fibres are from plant source, each has unique property in it. The portion of the plant from which the fibres are separated influence the properties of the fibres. With this consideration and literature survey an attempt was made to scour, bleach and dye the fibres with standard method for all the three selected fibres namely obtained from Arecanut, Jute and Sisal fibres. Then these fibres were analysed for essential properties along with chemical constituents, colour fastness and spectro photometric analysis for determining the colour strength. Morphological study was done with Scanning Electron Microscopic Analysis. It was noted that the fibres had very good colour strength and fastness to rubbing.
