ABSTRACT

Natural fibers can play a vital role in composite and textile industries due to its renewable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly properties. Areca nut, one of the fiber-rich plants is wasted in large quantities from different industries especially the tobacco industry. In this review, a comprehensive analysis of the areca nut fibers from different parts like leaves and husk was discussed. The two different fibers – coarse and fine were studied on the basis of its characteristics, the well-planned extraction methods and production application were analyzed. This organized review will generate a sense of the uses of the areca fibers in fiber composites and nonwoven fabric productions. Also, an insight into the advantages of areca fibers over conventional synthetic fibers is clearly exposed through this review.

摘要

天然纤维因其可再生、可生物降解和环保的特性，在复合材料和纺织工业中发挥着至关重要的作用。槟榔是富含纤维的植物之一，被不同行业，尤其​​是烟草行业大量浪费。在这篇综述中，对来自不同部位（如叶子和果壳）的槟榔纤维进行了综合分析。根据其特性对粗细两种不同纤维进行了研究，分析了精心策划的提取方法和生产应用。这篇有组织的评论将让人们了解槟榔纤维在纤维复合材料和无纺布生产中的用途。此外，通过这篇综述清楚地揭示了槟榔纤维相对于传统合成纤维的优势。
