Jute is a lignocellulosic fiber that is partially a textile fiber and partially wood falls into the bast fiber category.
Linen, which is used for apparel and interior textiles, comes from the long, strong bast fibers that form in the outer portions of the flax stem. This comprehensive exploration of linen fabrics and clothing history and modern usage provides an in-depth understanding of this remarkable textile’s journey through time and its continued relevance in today’s fashion and sustainability-conscious world.
Natural Cellulosic Leaf Fibres from nature.
Natural Cellulosic Bast Fibres
Cellulose is a fibrous material of plant origin and the basis of all natural and man-made cellulosic fibers. The natural cellulosic fibers include cotton, flax, hemp, jute, and ramie. Cellulose is a polymeric sugar polysaccharide) made up of repeating 1,4-8-an hydro glucose units connected to each other by 8-ether linkages. Strong intermolecular forces between chains, coupled with the high linearity of the cellulose molecule, account for the crystalline nature of cellulosic fibres.
