| Abstract: | This paper is an attempt to investigate the influences of enzyme (laccase) and alkali treatments on the surface lignin of single cellulose fibre. The fibre surface characteristics and the interfacial behaviour of the sisal fibre/phenolic resin composites were also studied by SEM, AFM, XPS. The surface lignin greatly affected the surface physical and chemical properties of single cellulose fibres. The surface lignin concentration was up to 35% for the raw fibre without any treatment, and then it decreased to 24%, 20% and 18% for the fibres with laccase treatment, alkali treatment and laccase/alkali treatment, respectively. The removal of lignin from fibre surface could enhance the interfacial strength of composites, and thus increase the tensile strength and internal bonding strength by 43% and 51%, respectively, for the composites obtained from laccase/alkali treated fibres. |
