A method of making a plant-based deep pile fabric that closely resembles animal fur or wool, that includes extracting the plant fibers from the plant material and forming a yarn or sliver made from plant fibers and simultaneously attaching it to a scrim also made from plant fibers, where the fiber is attached and extends from the scrim to form a length of plant-fiber pile fabric having natural plant fibers on one side and the scrim on the opposite side. The method includes finishing the scrim side of the fabric with an adhesive agent to attach the fibers to the scrim and form a stable base. The method also includes finishing the plant fiber pile side of the fabric by applying fur-industry specific processing steps to alter the properties of the fibers resulting in an even closer resemblance of animal fur.

Disclosed is a green and low-energy preparation method for cellulose nanofibers based on cold plasma. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly mixing cellulose with a FeSO.sub.4 solution, so that FeSO.sub.4 is immersed into cellulose, and then performing cold plasma treatment under atmospheric-pressure air to obtain oxidized cellulose, the water in the FeSO.sub.4 solution being subjected to cold plasma treatment; and (2) washing and suction filtering the oxidized cellulose obtained in step (1), and then carrying out mechanical fibrillation treatment to obtain the cellulose nanofibers (CNF). According to the invention, the cold plasma and the FeSO.sub.4 catalyst are compounded to construct a highly oxidizing environment that oxidizes cellulose and obtain CNFs by means of mild mechanical dispersion treatment. The whole process is carried out at normal temperature. The method is simple and mild, and does not require other non-environment-friendly chemicals. Meanwhile, the energy consumption of the nanocrystallization process is significantly reduced, the obtained CNF is uniformly dispersed, and the yield is higher.

In a process for removing dyes from a textile material, comprising or consisting of polyester fibers, or comprising or consisting of cotton fibers, a batch of said textile material is reduced to clippings having small size, treated with a solvent under stirring in an extraction chamber and centrifugated to remove the solvent, the solution comprising solvent and extracted material is used as a solvent to extract dye from another batch of textile material.

The present disclosure relates to a polymer complex comprising microcellulose fibers comprising nanofibrils and fine particles; and a polymer matrix. According to the present disclosure, there is provided a polymer complex capable of exhibiting excellent mechanical properties while being environmentally friendly by including cellulose fibers as a reinforcing material.

The present disclosure relates to a moist toilet tissue, cleaning wipe or personal wipe having improved dispersibility and improved comfort for users. The moist toilet tissues, cleaning wipes and personal wipes are sufficiently strong during use and disperse sufficiently quickly under real world conditions to be flushable without creating potential problems for sanitation systems.

A high-toughness sheath-core fiber, medical dialysis paper, and a preparation method thereof are provided. According to the present disclosure, a certain proportion of cellulose nanofibers are added to the polyethylene sheath layer and the polypropylene core layer respectively for melt blending to obtain a sheath component and a core component, then coaxial melt electrospinning is performed to obtain the high-toughness sheath-core fiber. The high-toughness sheath-core fiber is added to the raw materials of the medical dialysis paper at a mass ratio of 2-20%. After wet papermaking, the sheath layer of the fiber is melt-bonded using a hot-pressing method, which allows the substances between the sheath layers to melt and mix, improving the paper strength. The prepared medical dialysis paper exhibits excellent antibacterial property.

The present disclosure relates to fibrillated fibers and a method for preparing the same. In the present disclosure, there is provided a preparation method capable of providing fibers suitable for complexing with plastics in a more simplified process.
