Research on the Structure and Properties of Mulberry Fiber

The chemical ingredients,morphological stlrllctnrc and properties of mulberry fiber have been researched.The results show that the mulberry fiber is cellulose fiber.The crystal structutre of mdberry fiber is cellulose I and the crystal cell belongs to the monoclinic system.The mulberry fiber crystal degree is 62.9% and odentation degree is 43.7%,the fineness of mulberry fiber is 2.3-3.9 dtex,the length of the single fiber is 28-47 mm,the breaking shrength of mulberry fiber is about 2.93 cN/dtex,and the initial modulus is about 76.82 cN/dtex.
