  This review addresses the potential wet processing techniques for textile fibre extraction, mainly centering on bamboo, one of the most important and newly developed textile natural fibres. The literature survey revealed that although some reports are available on the use of these extracts on different textile substrates viz. cotton, wool, nylon, silk, polyester etc., but yet reports concerning the use on Bamboo fibre/fabric is scanty. Natural bamboo fibers have excellent properties suggesting that there is a good potential for them to be used in textiles; however, they have not received the attention that they deserve owing to their coarse and stiff quality. The high lignin content of the fibre is the major cause of its stiffness... Read More»
