With a particular focus on apparel manufacturing, different applications of sustainable fibres are explored along with manufacturing techniques and details of the material properties. New research investigating nontraditional sources of textile fibres such as lotus, orange, milk, seaweed, corn, and mushroom are all presented, providing a uniquely comprehensive resource. Drawing on work by contributors from a variety of fields and roles in industry and academia, this book shares solutions and new perspectives on this interdisciplinary topic more widely in the hope of leading to research breakthroughs.
- Shares a wealth of valuable data and results from research into sustainable cellulosic, lingo-cellulosic and protein fibres
- Includes full technical descriptions of newly explored sustainable fibres, including chemical structures and structural properties
- Presents a strong focus on improving sustainability of the industry through practical measures spanning disciplinary boundaries to address this complex issue
Researchers and advanced students interested in fibre composites, or sustainability in the textile industry. Technical experts and engineers working with natural fibres, or sustainability in textiles and fashion design
