Abstract:

Natural cellulose fibres from Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) Vent. (BP) bast were systematically investigated in this paper. To begin with, BP fibres were successively extracted from BP bast by four different degumming methods, among which the microwave-assisted method exhibited high efficiency. It was found that non-cellulose substances were sufficiently removed or reduced after the degumming process, but the cellulose I structure had not changed from bast to fibres based on the XRD and FTIR results. Meanwhile the BP fibres exhibited high crystallinity (75 ~ 77%), high breaking strength (2.19 ~ 2.39 cN/dtex) and a remarkable moisture region (6.3 ~ 8.7%), but low breaking elongation (1.0 ~ 2.1%). All those results indicated that the BP fibres had properties resembling those of traditional natural cellulose fibres (e.g. cotton and flax); therefore they could be viewed as a promising alternative source for natural cellulose bundle fibres.
