“…Particular attention has been devoted to enhancing the interfacial strength of jute fiber with the matrix materials by treating the fiber with various chemicals [ 7 , 8 ] to achieve physical and chemical modifications with or without cross-linking [ 9 , 10 ]. Different types of treatments on the jute fiber and the corresponding impacts in the resulting composite are summarized in Figure 1 [ 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

Natural renewable materials can play a big role in reducing the consumption of synthetic materials for environmental sustainability. Natural fiber-reinforced composites have attracted significant research and commercial importance due to their versatile characteristics and multi-dimensional applications. As the natural materials are easily rotten, flammable, and moisture absorbent, they require additional chemical modification for use in sustainable product development. In the present research, jute fibers were treated with rot-, fire-, and water-retardant chemicals and their corresponding polymer composites were fabricated using a compression molding technique. To identify the effects of the chemical treatments on the jute fiber and their polymeric composites, a Fourier transformed infrared radiation (FTIR) study was conducted and the results were analyzed. The presence of various chemicals in the post-treated fibers and the associated composites were identified through the FTIR analysis. The varying weight percentage of the chemicals used for treating the fibers affected the physio-mechanical properties of the fiber as well as their composites. From the FTIR analysis, it was concluded that crystallinity increased with the chemical concentration of the treatment which could be contributed to the improvement in their mechanical performance. This study provides valuable information for both academia and industry on the effect of various chemical treatments of the jute fiber for improved product development.

“…Subsequently, the 1 kg JC pieces were boiled in a sample dyeing machine (Sclavos, Greece) for 3 h at 110 °C. The material-to-liquor ratio was maintained at 1:20 with 4.5 M strong alkali (NaOH), 0.5 M hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), 1 g/L Rheopol BMW, 1 g/L Suntex XPA, and 1 g/L Suntex UFB, and the pH was controlled at 10–11 …”

Jute caddis is the waste lignocellulosic biomass produced from jute fabric (sacking and hessian) production. Jute caddis cellulose (JCC) is a sustainable source and has high potential for being used in preparing biodegradable films. In this research, flexible, semi-transparent, biodegradable, and highly water-resistant eco-films were developed with cellulose extracted from JCC. The macroscopic cellulose was isolated from JCC by alkaline hydrolysis. Flexible and translucent cellulose films were produced with different amounts of JCC by vacuum filtration. Biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was self-assembled and heat-pressed to fabricate semi-transparent films. The prepared eco-films were investigated using modern techniques for their mechanical properties, structural changes, thermal stability, and water resistance. With full flexibility (folding tolerance >100), the tensile strength of the JCC films was higher than that of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films. The tensile strength of the TPU-coated JCC films was about 4 times higher than that of the pristine uncoated films. The films showed excellent water resistance, indicating a water contact angle higher than 100°, and the water droplet was found to be stable even after 20 min. A burning test of the JCC films showed that they produced ashes like paper burning, suggesting easy and clean biodegradation. The fabricated JCC eco-films could be a sustainable approach for replacing fossil-fuel-based petroleum plastic materials for packaging applications.

“…Among softwoods, the Pinus, Picea, Larix, Cedrus and Tsuga genus are the most employed in the production of dissolving pulp; and from hardwoods include Eucalyptus, Fagus, Betula, Populus, Acacia, Quercus and Acer genus (Mendes et al 2021). In recent years, investigations have been focused on the use of non-wood raw materials, such as bamboo (Ma et al 2011;Batalha et al 2012;Wu et al 2014Wu et al , 2017Basit et al 2018), bagasse (Andrade and Colodette 2014), jute (Nayeem et al 2017;Sarkar et al 2018), hemp (Zhang et al 2006;Paulitz et al 2017) and corn stalk (Behin and Zeyghami 2009) as potentially suitable raw materials for the production of dissolving pulps (Mendes et al 2021). This is particularly of interest in Asian countries, since the production of dissolving pulp from bamboo has a market in China (Ma et al 2011;Ji and Zhao 2015).…”

The global textile fiber output increased five times from 1975 to 2020. Also, in 2010, the combined demand for man-made and natural fibers was projected to increase by 84% within 20 years. Clothing materials are largely made from cotton or petroleum-based synthetic fibers; both sources, however, have adverse environmental impacts. Thus, cotton requires vast amounts of land, water, fertilizers and pesticides, and synthetic fibers are not biodegradable. This scenario has raised the need for further exploration of cellulose polymers as sustainable sources for the textile industry. Cellulose, the most abundant renewable organic material on earth, is an outstanding polymer that by chemical derivatization or modification can offer a broad range of applications. Dissolving-grade pulp (DGP), which consists of highly pure cellulose, is the most suitable material for manufacturing cellulose derivatives and regenerated fibers. The latter are typically obtained by using the viscose process, which has considerable adverse environmental impacts. Although the textile industry has progressed substantially, further efforts are still needed to make its entire production chain more sustainable. This article provides an in-depth introduction to the potential of fibers with a high cellulose content, known as dissolving-grade pulps. It reviews the properties of DGP, the cooking and purifying methods typically used to obtain it, and the process by which paper-grade pulp can be converted into dissolving-grade pulp. Also, it discusses traditional and recently developed technologies for producing regenerated cellulose fibers. Finally, it examines the potential for recovering cellulose from textile waste as a novel sustainable practice.
