Über dieses Buch

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

Frontmatter
Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
Different cellulose fibres have been traditionally used for textile and technical applications, however in addition to the traditional cellulosic fibres, fibres isolated from some other non-traditional plants are recently studied for different advanced applications, e.g. cellulose based composites or nanocomposites, etc.

Chapter 2. Anatomy of Plant Fibres
Abstract
Plant fibres are elongated, most commonly sclerenchyma supportive plant cells with thick cellulose walls with a well-organised structure. Cellulose natural fibres are characterised by a fibrillar structure in which the crystalline arranged parts of cellulose I form a periodic array with amorphous cellulose molecules. The morphological hierarchy is as follows: The layers of cell walls are composed of macrofibrils, then of microfibrils and, finally, of finer elementary fibrils. Fibres’ morphology and crystalline structure is discussed in this chapter.

Chapter 3. Non-conventional Plant Fibres
Abstract
There are many non-conventional fibre-yielding plants with the potential for use for different applications. Some of them are presented in the chapter.

Chapter 4. Structure and Properties of Non-conventional Cellulose Fibres
Abstract
The chemical composition of non-traditional plant fibres depends on their biological origin and age, likewise the extraction method. Chemical composition has a significant impact on the process of isolation of the fibres and their further usability and especially on the fibres’ properties.

Chapter 5. Cellulose Nanofibres
Abstract
Nanocrystals (CNCs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are the two main types of nanocellulose. Recently several non-wood lignocellulosic sources are studied for preparation of cellulose nanomateriales and also many non-traditional sources of cellulose are involved in research, such as soybean stock, swede root, sugar beet pulp, potato tubers, wheat straw, chardonnay grape skins, cassava bagasse, cotton stalk, bamboo, agave T, barley husks, giant miscanthus, switch grass, water hyacinth, mulberry bark, loofah, zoysia grass, etc.

Chapter 6. Preparation of Cellulose Nanocrystals CNC from Nettle, Weeping Willow, Balm-Leaved Archangel, Lucerne and Spanish Broom
Abstract
Some plants growing wild in continental and mediterranean European climates were studied as potential sources of cellulose fibres, i.e. nettle, weeping willow, balm-leaved archangel, lucerne and Spanish broom. Extraction of fibres by enzyme retting and chemical retting, respectively, fibres’ isolation and pre-treatment are described. In addition to fibres properties were determined and finally CNC was prepared from isolated cellulose fibres. Nano-crystalline cellulose was characterised by SEM observations and particles dimensions were determined.

Chapter 7. Conclusion
Abstract
Sustainable materials based on renewable raw materials with new or improved properties are currently the research imperative, however the exploitation of non-traditional, especially wild plants for fibre extraction or for the production of cellulose may be associated with a number of concerns.
