Cellulose-based composite fibres and advanced applications

Cellulose-based composite fibres (CCFs) emerged by optimizing the application of fibres. There can often be classifications for it, which are basic or advanced. The availability of resources and the application of recyclable and environmentally friendly raw materials have caused studies in cellulose composites to explode in recent years. The demand for renewable energy sources is currently higher in society due to growing concerns about the environment and the use of fossil fuels. With its availability, flexibility as a biopolymer, different kinds, and potential applications, we can therefore deduce that cellulose can be suggested to be developed into an essential resource for materials. This chapter aims to provide a thorough overview of CCFs and all the methods used to produce cellulosic fibres. It is also essential to gain insight into the various cellulose fibre-reinforced composite materials and the drawbacks of cellulosic fibre-based composites.
