Bamboo Fibres: Processing,
Properties, and Applications brings together best practices from key
stages of bamboo production and application, allowing readers to find
new solutions for bamboo fibers. Chapters on bamboo fiber
characterization and properties show the full range of functional uses
of the material. When used as a replacement for petrochemical-based
synthetic fibers, this abundant and cheap material/textile can
significantly reduce the environmental impact of textile products. This
book is an invaluable resource for fiber chemists, material
scientists, fabric technologists, manufacturers, and researchers
interested in sustainable textiles.
Bamboo
fiber is a cellulosic fibre regenerated from the bamboo plant. It is
highly sustainable being fully biodegradable and has strength
comparable to conventional glass fibers. It has many other valuable
characteristics, being bacteriostatic, antifungal, antibacterial,
hypoallergenic, hydroscopic, a natural deodorizer, and resistant to
ultraviolet light. Furthermore, it is highly durable, stable and tough
and has substantial tensile strength. Due to its versatile properties,
bamboo fibers are already used in the textile industry to make
garments, in biomedical applications due to its antibacterial
qualities, and many other areas.
- Explores
special technical properties of bamboo fibers, including
antimicrobial, bacteriostatic, antifungal, antibacterial,
hypoallergenic, hydroscopic and mechanical properties
- Provides innovative knowledge on the production of bamboo fibers, including the blending of yarns and fabrics
- Explains
the broader techno-economics of bamboo fiber production, covering the
social as well as environmental sustainability of the material
