【 摘 要 】

Natural fibers are widely use to replace the synthetic fibers in polymer composites due to their inherent properties. In the present study, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of sisal, jute and ramie fiber was done before and after chemical treatment. This study includes the effect of chemical treatment on the thermal stability of sisal, jute and ramie fibers. The degradation of fibersand the phases of degradation were studied with increase in temperature. Results showed that chemical treatment improved the thermal stability of ramie and sisal fiber while jute fiber showed not much change in properties by chemical treatment.
