Enhancement of Sansevieria Trifasciata Laurentii Fiber Properties with Liquid Smoke Treatment

This study aimed to investigate the potential of liquid smoke-treated Sansevieria Trifasciata Laurentii fiber (STLF) as a reinforcement in polymer composites. The research method consisted of soaking STLF in grade 3 liquid smoke (LS) for 1, 2, and 3 hours, then drying the fibers in an oven at 40°C f...

description This study aimed to investigate the potential of liquid smoke-treated Sansevieria Trifasciata Laurentii fiber (STLF) as a reinforcement in polymer composites. The research method consisted of soaking STLF in grade 3 liquid smoke (LS) for 1, 2, and 3 hours, then drying the fibers in an oven at 40°C for 30 minutes. The treated fibers were characterized by single-fiber tensile strength, morphology, chemical composition, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that treating STLF fibers with liquid Smoke (LS) for 2 hours results in a 2.60% increase in tensile strength and a 64.20% improvement in crystallinity compared to untreated fibers (TP). The LS treatment also modifies the fiber surface morphology, creating a pattern of longitudinal lines and resulting in a cleaner, rougher, and more porous fiber structure. In addition, LS treatment introduces C=C and C=O functional groups into the STLF molecular chain, potentially improving the interfacial bonding between the fiber and the polymer matrix.
