Properties of Fibre Crops
Fibre crops have the following properties:
- Fibre crops have high length, width and uniformity.
- They are highly flexible in nature. Plant fibres are rigid and also have high tensile strength.
- Plant fibres are biodegradable in nature.
- Plant fibres are very strong and highly durable for their use in fabrics. Plant fibres are cheap and economically affordable.
- Fibre elongation is the major property of plant fibres in terms of fiber processing.It is also highly resistant to wear and tear.
In summary, due to advancement in the technology synthetic fibres have replaced the natural fibres in major uses but in recent times natural fibres from fibre crops are once again gaining their importance in this field due to growing awareness of the advantages of natural fibres over synthetic fibre for both the environment and human health in many parts of the world.
Fibre Crops
Fibre crops are a group of plants that are specifically grown for the production of fibres. Fibres are thin thread-like structures present in the stems, leaves, or seeds of these plants. These fibres play a major role in making products such as ropes, clothes and other materials. Crops that are used to extract these fibres are hemp, cotton, flax, jute etc. As there is an increasing demand for eco-friendly products, the use of these fibre crops and their products is expected to rise in the future as they are highly beneficial.
