Natural fiber, Lagenaria siceraria, TGA analysis, FTIR, XRD, Crystalline indexAbstract
This article explores the extraction and characterization of natural fiber from the agro-waste of Lagenaria siceraria (LS)
plant stem (commonly known as „bottle guard‟) for the first time. The extracted fiber from the waste stems has high
cellulose content (79.91 %) with good tensile strength (257–717 MPa) and thermal stability (withstand up to 339.1°C). The
immense percentage of crystalline index (92.4%) with the crystalline size (7.2 nm) as well as low density (1.216 g/cm3) of
the LS fiber renders their possibilit
