Introduction to Sustainable Textile Fibers

The authors describe how sustainable textile fibers from crops such as quinoa, grass, hops, corn, and wheat stems, etc., have recently begun to generate great interest.

Structure-Property Relationships

The structure-property relationships of such non-conventional cellulose fibers are studied in this brief, as are their sorption and surface properties which are of primary importance.

Fiber Properties Review

A systematic review of each fiber's properties is given, with an emphasis on the water sorption capacity, the fiber's surface potential, and fibrillation properties.
