Beskrivning

The Handbook of Natural Fibres, Second Edition, Volume One: Types, Properties and Factors Affecting Breeding and Cultivation covers every aspect of natural fibers, their breeding, cultivation, processing and applications. This volume features fundamental discussions of each fiber, covering different stages of breeding and cultivation. Natural fibrous resources, both lignocellulosic and protein ones, are renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic, making them an important source of sustainable textile solutions. A broad range of natural fibers are covered in this book, including cotton, jute, kenaf, flax, hemp, sisal, ramie, curaua, pineapple, bamboo, coir, sheep wool, and more.

Provides detailed instructions for how to carry out the latest scientific methods for identifying natural fibers
Explains properties of natural fibers that will be of interest to readers in growth fields like biocomposites and nanofibers
Includes a rare overview of emerging natural fibers and their uses, along with sources of further information
