Review on Modifications of Sisal Fibers for Textile Applications

Properties of sisal fibers such as high coarseness and poor drapability made the less suitable in production conventional textiles compared to synthetic fibers. The environmental consciousness depletion petrochemical resources have attracted researchers on investigating use natural industrial textiles. Sisal is among highly researched due its features strength, recyclability, availability, low processing cost, light weight ease process ability. This paper reviews possible modifications enhance performance applications.
