“…Soybean is composed of mainly 16 amino acids, with relatively high amounts of aspartic and glutamic acid but with relatively low cystine present. 15 Huang 16 suggested that the low wet strength properties of soybean reported in the literature 17,18 could be attributed to the disruption of the interchain hydrogen bonding and ionic bonding through the polar amino acids glutamic and aspartic acid, which account for 30% of the amino acid content in the fiber, by water. Further the much lower proportion of cystine content of the soybean fiber as compared to that of wool fiber resulted in lower protein chain cross-linkages through disulphide groups and associated lower wet strength.…”

The effect of oxidative and oxidative-reductive bleaching on the colorimetric, topographical, and mechanical properties of soybean fabric has been investigated by yellowness index, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, Kawabata evaluation system for fabrics, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry in order to examine both the bulk and surface properties. Surface changes to the soybean fiber due to bleaching treatments have been evaluated and the protective effect of protein hydrolysates assessed. Improved tensile strength, flat abrasion performance, and handle maintenance of the soybean fabric was demonstrated with the incorporation of Byco C in both bleaching treatments.

“…There are other natural fibers that are considered regenerated fibers, meaning that are produced from natural sources with human interference. Soybean is an example of this type, which undergoes chemical manipulation to be turned from a plant into a fiber [20]. Silk, wool, hair and feathers are examples of animal-based fibers composed mainly of proteins and are the second most important source of natural fibers [2,21].…”

Biofunctionalization of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Biocomposites for Biomedical Applications

In the last ten years, environmental consciousness has increased worldwide, leading to the development of eco-friendly materials to replace synthetic ones. Natural fibers are extracted from renewable resources at low cost. Their combination with synthetic polymers as reinforcement materials has been an important step forward in that direction. The sustainability and excellent physical and biological (e.g., biocompatibility, antimicrobial activity) properties of these biocomposites have extended their application to the biomedical field. This paper offers a detailed overview of the extraction and separation processes applied to natural fibers and their posterior chemical and physical modifications for biocomposite fabrication. Because of the requirements for biomedical device production, specialized biomolecules are currently being incorporated onto these biocomposites. From antibiotics to peptides and plant extracts, to name a few, this review explores their impact on the final biocomposite product, in light of their individual or combined effect, and analyzes the most recurrent strategies for biomolecule immobilization.

Increasingly, the world is realizing that better use must be made of precious natural resources. Today, with the enrichment of people's awareness on environment problems and the demand of environment-friendly fabric, natural fibers have received a great deal of attention due to their great importance of "green" and health protection properties and have been widely used in many fields, such as textile industry and daily life. Traditional resource of four natural fibers, cotton, wool, silk, and flax is after all limited. So, many new plant fibers, such as hemp, apocynum, mulberry bast fiber, pineapple leaf fiber, banana fiber, bamboo fiber, kapok fiber, and so on, have been exploited in recent years. The luxury sector, particularly fashion has a high environmental footprint and is responsible for a significant amount of waste. Designers committed to sustainable processes face a severe lack of options in terms of the actual goods used to make their products, with everything from fabric to embellishments being in short and expensive supply. This chapter aims to give an insight into the comprehensive details of conventional as well as unconventional sustainable luxury fibers which are going to be dominated in luxury fashion industry in the forthcoming years.
