In the last few years, an increase in interest has been given to the use of cellulose fibers as alternatives for conventional reinforcements in composites. The development of commercially viable environmentally friendly and healthy materials based on natural resources is on the rise. In this sense, cellulosic fibers as reinforcements for cement mortar composites constitute a very interesting op...

Thousands of workers are employed in textile industries under different job categories including dyeing, printing, finishing, cutting, weaving and spinning. The textile industry workers are exposed to a number of chemicals including dyes, solvents, optical brighteners, finishing agents and numerous types of natural and synthetic fibre dusts which affect their health. In this paper an attempt ha...

Abstract The production of cellulose-based textile fibers with high toughness is vital for extending the longevity and thus developing a sustainable industry by reducing global burden microplastics. This study presented strategies to improve fiber tuning spinneret geometries. Experimental studies were conducted spinning different geometries measuring mechanical structural properties spun fibers...
