A Review on “Bamboo and its Blends as Biodegradable Fibers: An Eco-Friendly Perspective"

Abstract

In recent years, the demand for textiles has changed with developments in technology and raised living standards. The development of cellulosic textile material and clothing embedded with environmentally friendly properties has pioneered smart textiles' demand. These smart textiles would utilize bamboo, hemp, cotton, and flax as blend and other natural fiber plants. It would add to the value of these products as they would be eco- friendly. Biodegradable fibers that can be produced from them are desirable in offering a possible solution to disposable problems. In a world with limited resources and many environmental impacts, it is evident that sustainable life and industrial styles are also becoming important. With these concerns, new biodegradable fibers bamboo, cotton, hemp, and flax and bamboo blends and their applications in textiles, some of the mechanical properties are also reviewed. The review article's main aim is to provide a vast material on the chemical structure, physical and chemical properties of each natural fiber, bamboo, cotton, flax, hemp, studies on. When used as blends at different ratios, separate yarn count and twist multiplication with each other or independent. How do they respond as fiber, yarn, and fabric? Their behavior after weaving and finishing stages like bleaching, dying, and sizing. Hopefully, this literature will help in conducting and supporting the practicality of the study. It can help in the development of the fabric at the experimental stage for future concern.
