Fiber Property Comparison, 1998 North America Nonwood Fiber Symposium Proceedings

Nonwood or agro-based fibers derived from selected tissues of various monocotyledonous or dicotyledonous plants are compared based on their chemical properties: six sugars, lignin, ash, and silica contents, etc. The physical properties are fiber morphology and crystallinity as they related to the pulp and paper industry. Various common nonwood plants are investigated and comparisons made with wood, specially fibers at different growth stages and different plant heights. Finally, problems associated in applying TAPPI standards toward nonwood plants are discussed.
