Characterization of Natural Fiber Extracted from Etlingera elatior Stalk for Textile Applications

This study aimed to examine the utilization of Etlingera elatior stalks as a potential source of natural fibers. The water-retting method was used to extract the fibers, which involved immersing the stalk in water for 32 days. The fiber qualities obtained from the tests were used to evaluate the fib...
