几个世纪以来，植物纤维已被用于许多商业领域，包括纺织、建筑、纸张和纸浆、增强复合材料，以及用作能源生产的生物质。这些纤维来自各种农作物，包括用于纺织的棉花、黄麻和亚麻；用于造纸和纸浆的木材作物，如杨树、桉树和针叶树；以及用于提供稻草、床上用品和动物饲料的谷类作物，如玉米、高粱和大麦。最近几年，纤维作物在其中一些地区的流行已经被合成纤维所取代，例如由塑料或玻璃制成的合成纤维。在环境方面，这些合成纤维是不可再生的，并继续作为污染源积累。这种污染的影响重新引起了人们对使用植物纤维作为未来可持续商品的兴趣。
AbstractFor centuries plant fibres have been used in a number of commercial areas including textiles, construction, paper and pulp, reinforced composites, and as biomass for energy production. These fibres come from a whole host of crops ranging from cotton, jute and flax for textiles; wood crops such as poplar, eucalyptus and conifers for paper and pulp; and cereal crops such as maize, sorghum and barley to provide straw, bedding and animal fodder. In more recent years the popularity of fibre crops in some of these areas has been superseded by synthetic fibres such as those made from plastic or glass. Environmentally, these synthetic fibres are non-renewable and continue to accumulate as sources of pollution. The impact of this pollution has led to a renewed interest in the use of plant fibres as a sustainable commodity for the future.
