Disclosed are cellulose acetate tows, bales, and filter rods having from greater than 9 to less than 12.5 denier per filament and from 20,000 to 40,000 total denier, for use in smoking devices, including aerosol-generating devices such as an electrically heated cigarette.

It is disclosed a method of producing a yarn having the look and feel of natural fibers, the method comprising the steps of preparing a first plurality of man-made textile fibers or a second plurality of natural textile fibers, the first and second plurality of textile fibers being obtained from breaking the first or the second textile fibers under the effect of a mechanical force applied to the first or the second textile fibers. A final blend for producing the yarn, can be prepared by adding the first plurality of textile fibers to a plurality of man-made fibers, or by adding the second plurality of textile fibers to a plurality of man-made fibers, or by adding the first plurality of textile fibers to the second plurality of textile fibers.

A scaffold of hollow fibers comprising a mixture of polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene succinate (PBS) and cellulose nanofibers (CNF), medical products made of these scaffolds and methods of using the scaffolds in regenerative medicine. A method for producing the scaffolds is also disclosed.

Process for ultrasonically bonding nonwoven webs comprising: providing a nonwoven web comprised of base fibers in an amount from 0 to 85 wt % and binder fibers in an amount from 15 to 100 wt %, based on the total weight of the nonwoven web; and ultrasonically bonding the nonwoven web to itself or another nonwoven web, wherein the binder fibers comprise cellulose ester fibers.

Sliver containing cellulose acetate staple fibres is obtained that exhibits good fibre to fibre cohesion energy and can be successfully drawn and made into spun yarns. Such slivers can be made of cellulose acetate staple fibres that have of round shape, a denier of less than 3.0, a crimp frequency per inch (CPI) from 5 to 30, a good fibre to fibre coefficient of friction and have a low static charge. The textile fabrics made from spun yarns have plant-based renewable resources by containing the cellulose acetate staple fibres, and can exhibit a thermoplastic behaviour to impart better dimensional stability to a textile fabric. The low denier of the cellulose acetate fibres can impart a feel similar to that of cotton, yet can be successfully processed through carding machines to form cohesive slivers and retain their integrity throughout the drawing process, allowing them to be formed into spun yarns.
