Abstract

Synthetic textile fibers have always had bright application prospects in the textile field due to their good physical properties, but their development has been restricted by the shortage of petrochemical resources. Here, inspired by the research on the preparation of cellulose nanofibers from natural wood, this research demonstrated a method of directly preparing wood textile fibers from natural wood. First, the natural wood was treated with a deep eutectic solvent (DES), and the treated wood had a highly porous structure and excellent flexibility so that it could be easily cut to separate the cellulose fiber bundles and then twisted into wood textile fibers. Then a series of structural analyses and performance tests of wood textile fiber were carried out, in which the results showed that this wood textile fiber has excellent weaving properties, tensile properties, elastic properties, and dyeability. Meanwhile, after a simple hydrophobic antibacterial treatment, the wood textile fiber could also show certain washing stability and antibacterial properties. The above-mentioned various properties of this wood textile fiber provide a great potential for its development in the textile field.
