Prospects for use of microbial raw material for fabrication of fibre and film materials. Review

  • Published:
Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The potential capacity of microorganisms to form fibre structures, fibre- and film-forming polymers, and the monomers for their chemical synthesis was analyzed. The applied aspects of fabrication of oriented polymer materials (fibres and films) from the cellular biomass of fungi, bacteria, individual products of cell metabolism (organic acids, amino acids), and biopolymers (enzymes) were examined. The role of microbial technologies in utilization of the new raw material resources for fabrication of fibres and films, in improving production of existing types of fibres, and in creating new types of fibre materials of natural origin was evaluated.
