Fabrication of Cellulose Nanofiber Yarn by Wet Spinning and Evaluation of theTensile Properties

Abstract

Cellulose nanofibers are nanofibers that can be produced from plants and are attracting attention as a new material with low environmental impact. It is known that yarns made of cellulose nanofibers can be continuously produced by injecting cellulose nanofiber suspension into an acetone bath. In this study, cellulose nanofiber yarns were produced by changing the concentration of cellulose nanofiber and the flow rate of injection, and tensile tests were conducted to investigate the effect of the production conditions on the tensile properties of yarns.
