Windmill palm fiber (WPF) is an abundant source of cellulose that can be used in textile manufacturing. In this study, acid-alkali and acid-alkali-enzyme were prepared to create blended yarns. The morphology, chemical composition, physical structural parameters, tensile properties the WPF samples yarns studied. results indicated both treatments as degumming methods prepare windmill textile-grad...

There is a need for sustainable ways of processing plant fibers. Most chemical degumming methods pose threat to the eco-system because presence toxins during disposal. This study aimed find banana fiber with less harm environment. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and activated water were utilized softening fiber. Activated an aqueous solution electrolyte strongly oxidizing active substances prepared by ...

Hemp bast fibers were degummed using combined microwave energy (MWE) and deep eutectic solvent (DES) to generate pure hemp cellulose for potential textile applications. The properties of the investigated compared with those alkali-treated several analytical techniques. Results revealed that fiber surface underwent dramatic structural disruption during pretreatment, due removal “gummy” compounds...
