Description
A class of natural fibers obtained from plants. Cellulose fibers have been used since ancient times for making clothing, ropes, thread, and paper.
Cellulose fibers are obtained from:
- seed hairs: Cotton, Kapok, Coir,
- leaves: Abaca, Agave, Henequen, Sisal, Istle, Banana
- stems: Flax, Hemp, Jute, Kenaf, Ramie, Straw, Bamboo, Grass
- trees:Hardwood, Softwood, Bark
Synonyms and Related Terms
natural fiber; plant fibers; vegetable fibers; fibras de celulosa (Esp.); cellulose vezel (Ned);
Physical and Chemical Properties
Approximate cellulose content: cotton (98%); ramie (86%); hemp (65%); jute (58%); deciduous woods (41-42%); confierous woods (41-44%); cornstalks (43%); wheat straw (42%).
