Abstract:

The ancient fireweed textile technology for obtaining textile fibers is a cultural heritage of ethnic minorities. In order to study systematically the fiber and realize its popularization and application in the textile field, the basic structure and properties of wild fireweed fiber of Yunnan area and its network stripped from the back by hand were characterized by experiments. The studies show that the diameter of fireweed fiber is 1.05-5.76 μm, and it belongs to microfiber category. The longitudinal morphology of the fiber is characteristic of banded curvature, with folds and grooves on the surface, and the cross section is irregular elliptic with a cavity structure. The main components of the fiber are cellulose and hemicellulose with crystallinity of 55.52%. The thermal decomposition temperature of the fiber is 240 ℃, which has a good heat resistance. The content of lipid and wax is 6%, and the wetting angle with water is about 129.5° with good water-repellent ability. The moisture regain rate of the fiber is 11.69% and the moisture containing capacity is 10.47%, which is higher than that of cotton. Fireweed fiber has good resistance to acid and alkali at normal temperature, and the pH value of fiber water extract is 7.23, which is friendly to human skin.

Key words: fireweed fiber, microfiber, Gerbera delavayi, fireweed fibrous network, structural characterization, thermal material
