Properties of sisal fibers such as high coarseness and poor drapability made the less suitable in production conventional textiles compared to synthetic fibers. The environmental consciousness depletion petrochemical resources have attracted researchers on investigating use natural industrial textiles. Sisal is among highly researched due its features strength, recyclability, availability, low ...

Abstract Protein fiber production in heterologous organisms, such as bacteria, provides a new possibility for engineering high-performance materials and composites. The discovery design of sustainable that are biological or inspired by principles essential the development next generation circular bioeconomy. Here, we created hybrid synthetic combining bio-engineered proteins with acrylic polyme...

Natural and synthetic fibers exhibit a huge diversity regarding their dimension, structure and physical-chemical properties. The wanted properties of textiles are adjusted by directed selection, development and processing of fiber material. Atomic force microscopy offers as sole method the possibility to acquire quantitative information in the nanoand micro range under environmental conditions ...
