Abstract
The current study presents a nontoxic, and low-cost preparation of black
seeds and cassava bagasse fibers. It also aims at investigating the physical,
thermal, and morphological characteristics and chemical composition of
these fibers. The current study’s findings revealed significant differences in
the properties in terms of chemical, morphological, physical, and thermal.
The findings also showed that black seed fiber had a higher ash concentration
(4.5%) compared to the cassava bagasse fiber of 0.4%. A density of
1.45 g/cm3 was observed for cassava bagasse fiber, while the black seed fiber
exhibited a lower density of 1.22 g/cm3. From TGA results, only 21% of
cassava bagasse and 38% of black seed fiber weight were observed for the
highest degradation rates for both samples (200°C–500°C). In summary, this
study suggests cassava bagasse and black seed fibers as promising feedstocks
for biopolymers synthesis with an eco-friendly and cost-effective
approach that may support the advancement of the biopolymer industry.
