What Is The Bamboo Fabric- Its History Composition and Uses

1. What Is The Bamboo Fabric? Its History Composition and Uses Bamboo is a plant, we all know and cute pandas eat its shoots. Now textile technology has developed to turn these bamboo shoots and leaves into bamboo fabric. It has become an exceptional choice for textile products. The demand for bamboo fabric is on the rise. It's eco-friendly and a good substitute for cotton. Bamboo fabrics are soft and comfortable for making different products. Bamboo is especially suited to make undergarments. Bamboo boxer shorts, bamboo underwear, and panties are famous due to their comfort and breathability. The fabric has channels that are absorbable and quickly soak all the moisture in the sweat. The fabrication process: Many people still wonder how the bamboo leaves are turned into bamboo fiber. We will discuss the whole process of fabrication of the bamboo fiber for bamboo cellulose. Grow the bamboo plant: Bamboo is a fast-growing evergreen plant. The best time for the plantation is spring (March). They need a moderate temperature to grow well. The fall season is also good for growth(September). It only takes a season to grow. Cut the shoots and make pulp: When the shoots grow well, then cut the shoots and leaves. Now cut the stalks into small pieces of raw bamboo. Now use the pulper to put the chips, boil the mixture up toa, 145C. Heat it with steam to get the pulp. Create long fiber: Now mixing with amine oxide and water long fibers of the bamboo cellulose is created. Usually, a solution of (15-20 %) of solubility is used, water is used as solvent, and aminoxide as solute. The whole solution is soaked at a temperature of between temperature of 20 to 25 centigrade for one to three hours. This process is used to extract the cellulose from the bamboo leaves. This cellulose of the bamboo fiber is then turned into sheets. Spin the fiber: It's important to let the material soak completely so it is easier to separate the fiber. This fiber is then spun into bamboo fiber yarn. The bamboo fiber is 20 % naturally elastic. History of bamboo fiber: We are presenting the history of bamboo fiber. The history of bamboo is long but it is recently available for commercial use. ● The history of bamboo goes back to 1864. Philipp Lichetestadt disintegrated the bamboo fiber to make cordage, cloth, mats, and pulp for making paper. ● The Beijing University turned bamboo cellulose into fiber in 2000. They released their results and the whole process of how they have turned the cellulose into the fiber.
