  Lignocellulosic fibers are plant-based bio-fibers that are sourced from terrestrial and non-terrestrial plants that also include agricultural by-products. In textile industry, being a renewable and sustainable resource, these fibers have attained market potential with their special qualities including biodegradability, applicability in green chemistry, ecofriendly properties and cost effectiveness in processing. Lignocellulosic fibers mainly comprise plant cell walls that are essentially composed of cellulose, lignin, pectin, hemicelluloses and waxes. Numerous studies have been conducted to explain the commercial performance, mechanical properties and sustainability of these lignocellulosic fibers. Although several work have been conducted on the cell wall compositional aspects of these fibers, majority of the studies have been focused on understanding the cellulose and lignin .. Read More»
