Abstract

We studied effects of four physical treatment parameters (soaking time, soap concentration, water temperature and drying time) of kapok fibers on its optical and structural properties. We used fourier trasnform infra red spectrometer to study the optical properties of treated kapok fibers. The structure of treated kapok fibers was inversitigated using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR). Species of elements adsorbed to the kapok fibers was inversitgated using EDX and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometer. There was positive correlation between treatment parameters and optical, structural properties of kapok fibers. Keywords : Kapok fibers, optical, structurural properties
