Formation of Cellulose and Protein Blend Biofibers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polysaccharide-based Fibers and Composites

Abstract

Cellulose and proteins are potential polymers for developing biodegradable materials for high value-added applications. A combination with these natural polymers could be useful to enhance the properties of final materials and to extend their application areas. In particular, blend biofibers that are degradable and sustainable can be engineered from a mixture of cellulose and proteins, such as soy protein, silk fibroin, collagen, etc. In a binary polymeric blend, the compatibility of cellulose and proteins is influenced by the characteristics of each polymer in the employed solvent system as well as processing conditions. Therefore, utilizing solvents that can dissolve cellulose and proteins, and coagulants that are non-solvents for both polymers is of importance. In this book chapter, the formation and characteristics of blend biofibers from these polymers will be discussed.
