Textile industries have a central role in human health, well-being, and the global economy. Sustainable development has become a necessity in this sector by utilizing natural, renewable, and biodegradable raw materials such as kenaf, ramie, pineapple fibres, wool, cotton, and other natural fibres. Science and technology expanding option for sustainable fibre-use in the textile industry due to source-scarcity of raw materials, environmental impact concerns, and market demands. This review discusses various aspects related to natural fibres, and their applications in addition to cotton, which is the most applied natural fibres for the textile industry. Key characteristics of natural fibres include physical, mechanical, and surface properties. These properties vary and are influenced by the chemical composition of the fibres and environmental conditions in growth and production. For plant-based fibres how the fibres are extracted from the plant, and from which vegetative or reproductive structures they are extracted, can affect the ultimate fibre quality and uses of the fibres. Similarly, there are a range of processing methods that affect the final quality and utility of the fibres and application in industry.

“…In China, the annual output of RF accounts for more than 95% of the world [12]. Compared with other plant fibers, the RF has excellent moisture absorption, air permeability and microbial erosion resistance, and its length and strength are much higher than cotton fiber [13,14]. The crystallinity of RF is also higher than that of cotton fiber [15,16].…”

Ramie fiber (RF) has excellent tensile strength and breathability, making it a promising material for biomedical applications. However, few studies on the antibacterial properties and biocompatibility of RF have been reported. This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial property and biocompatibility of RF with bacteria and fibroblasts. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of RF was better than that of natural cotton fiber (NCF) and close to that of medical cotton fiber (MCF) for both Staphylococcus aureus (S.a) and Escherichia coli (E.coli), and RF was more antibacterial against S.a than E.coli. The RF, MCF and NCF promoted the proliferation and spread of mouse fibroblast (L929) cells. The results indicated that RF has excellent antibacterial properties and biocompatibility, making it a potential biomaterial for biomedical applications.

The comfort of textile products that include cotton fibre after exposure to outdoor environments has been emphasized as a sustainable development goal. For textile products, abrasion between fabric and human skin can occur. Moreover, after abrasion, textile products present disposal difficulties. Therefore, evaluation of abrasion properties of textile products is important for comfort and reuse. This study investigated effects of short-term outdoor environments on abrasion properties of cotton fabric as a constituent material of textile products. The cotton knit fabric specimen colours were blue and red. Outdoor exposure tests were conducted based on Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z 2381. Test times were 0, 2, and 4 weeks (28 October 2019-22 January 2020) for tests conducted in Tokyo (Japan). After outdoor exposure testing, abrasion resistance tests were conducted based on JIS L 1096, yielding the following conclusions. Abrasion tests indicated that the number of cycles to failure of blue cotton knit fabrics were similar to those of red cotton knit fabrics during the 4-week test period. The number of cycles to failure of all cotton knit fabrics during the 2-week test period increased compared with that of all cotton knit fabrics before outdoor exposure tests. The number of cycles to failure of all cotton knit fabrics during the 4-week test period remained almost unchanged compared to those of all cotton knit fabrics during the 2-week test period. The 2-week outdoor environment exposure affected the cotton knit fabric shrinkage because cotton fibre has a hydrophilic group of cellulose. Results suggest that structural changes of cotton knit fabric affected the fabric abrasion properties during outdoor exposure.
