The present study aimed to investigate the physico-chemical properties of new cellulosic fiber obtained from the bark of Melia Azedarach tree. The investigation outcomes revealed that, the cellulose content, crystallinity index and density of Melia Azedarach Fiber (MAF) were determined as 66.5 wt.%, 45.45% and 950 Kg/m 3 , respectively. The MAF had thermal stability up to 220 θ C which is evidenced from the thermo gravimetric analysis. The Fourier Transform Infra Red test clearly specified the existence of cellulosic and non-cellulosic substance in MAF. The morphological analysis showed that MAF contains smooth surfaces and its diameter is measured as 48.2 ± 2 µm. The results of this investigation on MAF were evident that it can be used as future reinforcement material to develop the green composite for potential applications.
