An Alternative Fiber Source in Sustainable Textile and Fashion Design: Cellulosic Akund Fibers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Novel Sustainable Raw Material Alternatives for the Textiles and Fashion Industry

Abstract

Akund fibers are natural cellulosic fibers classified as seed fibers such as cotton, kapok, and milkweed. Akund fibers, which have structural and physical properties very similar to fibers such as kapok and milkweed, are a commercially widespread type. It stands out among natural fibers with its hollow fiber structure and low fiber density. It is accepted as a sustainable raw material source with features such as renewability, biodegradability, eco-friendly, nontoxicity, and similar features. The hollow structure of akund fibers, whose spinnability is weak as experienced in kapok and milkweed fibers, makes these fibers an important fiber source for advanced materials such as home textiles, composite textiles, and technical textiles. At the same time, studies on the development of the spinning properties of these fibers can be considered as an evidence of the potentiality of these fibers to be used as raw materials for the garment industry shortly. In this chapter, it is aimed to benefit future studies by summarizing the structure, properties, and utilization areas of akund fibers.
