- a method of manufacturing a fibrous monofilament comprises forming an aqueous suspension comprising from 90 to 96 wt.% of water, and from 4 to 10 wt.% of dry matter including non-regenerated microfibrillar cellulose (MFC), dispersing agent, at least one of the following: a natural wax, a thermoplast, a sizing agent, natural rubber as water-based emulsion/dispersion; and a crosslinking agent, the dry matter comprising at least 50 wt.% of non-regenerated MFC.
- MFC microfibrillar cellulose
- the method further comprises extruding the suspension into a monofilament and drying the monofilament.
- a fibrous material comprises the fibrous monofilament as described above.
- Plant materials are built up by a matrix formed by cellulose fibers also containing lignin and hemicelluloses.
- the cellulosic fibers that form such a matrix are fibril bundles which in turn consist of microfibrils.
- the cellulose fibers are separated into a three-dimensional network of microfibrils with a large surface area.
- These entangled fibrils are called microfibrillar cellulose (MFC).
- the width of entangled fibrils in MFC may be from 50 nanometers to 2 micrometers and length or longitudinal dimension may be from 100 nanometers to 500 micrometers, such as from 100 nanometers to 200 micrometers.
- non-regenerated cellulose or “natural cellulose” refer to cellulose or cellulose fibrils or fibers that have not undergone chemical or physical modification of their macromolecular structure.

- Cellulose I may have structures l a and Ip.
- Man-made cellulosic fibers commonly used in textile applications are regenerated and their crystalline structure is mainly other than cellulose I. Conversion of cellulose I to cellulose II (or other forms, like cellulose III or cellulose IV) is irreversible. Thus, these forms are stable and cannot be converted back to cellulose I.
- cellulose may originate from any plant-based material.
- Plant-based raw material may be wood material or non-wood material.
- the wood material can be based on softwood tree, such as spruce, pine, fir, larch, Douglas-fir or hemlock, or on hardwood tree, such as birch, aspen, poplar, alder, eucalyptus or acacia, or on any mixture of above.
- the non-wood material may be as cotton, hemp, flax, sisal, jute, kenaf, bamboo, peat, or coconut.
- the fibrous monofilament disclosed herein can be used to replace at least partly the nowadays used petroleum-based synthetic materials for example in insulation materials used in textile industry. Further, the disclosed fibrous monofilament enables replacing unsustainable cotton. Still further, the fibrous monofilament disclosed herein is produced in a more environmentally friendly manner when compared to other cellulose-based fibers, such as viscose and Lyocell. The disclosed fibrous monofilament has lowered water absorptivity and improved softness after several washing and drying cycles.
- the fibrous monofilament according to this disclosure comprises or consists of non-regenerated microfibrillar cellulose (MFC), a dispersing agent, a crosslinking agent, and at least one of the following: a natural wax, a thermoplast, a sizing agent and natural rubber.
- MFC microfibrillar cellulose
- the dispersing agent, the natural wax, the thermoplast, the sizing agent, the natural rubber and/or the crosslinking agent is/are biobased and/or biodegradable.
- the biodegradability of the fibrous monofilament and the materials prepared therefrom may be improved.
- Biodegradability of a material means that greater than 90 % of the original material is converted into CO2, water and minerals by biological processes within 6 months.
- the dispersing agent may be any of the following: hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (EHEC), methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC), methyl ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MEHEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), ethyl cellulose (EC) and starch, or any combination thereof.
- Dispersing agent may also have an effect on shear strength of the fibrous monofilament.
- aPAM may also function as a rheology modifier.
- the MFC fibrils show extensive hydrogen bonding arising from the presence of surface hydroxyl groups. However, these hydroxyl groups also efficiently bind water molecules, thereby increasing moisture sensitivity and lowering wet strength of the materials comprising MFC.
- certain degree of hydrophobicity may be added by incorporating a hydrophobic component.
- the hydrophobicity is introduced with at least one of a natural wax, a thermoplast a sizing agent, and natural rubber.
- Thermoplast or thermoplastic refers to a polymeric material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling.
- Waxes include a diverse class of lipophilic organic compounds that are malleable solids near ambient temperatures. Waxes include higher alkanes and lipids, typically with melting points above about 40 degrees C. Waxes melt to give low viscosity liquids. Natural waxes refer to waxes produced by plants or animals. Natural waxes also include modified plant and animal waxes.
- sizing agents suitable for the fibrous monofilament disclosed herein is an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD). Besides lowering the water absorption properties of the fibrous monofilament, AKD may further increase strength of the fibrous monofilament.
- alkyl ketene dimer Besides lowering the water absorption properties of the fibrous monofilament, AKD may further increase strength of the fibrous monofilament.
- suitable natural waxes for the fibrous monofilament disclosed herein include for example beeswax, carnauba wax and rice bran wax.
- the hydrophobicity introduced with at least one of a natural wax, a thermoplast a sizing agent, and natural rubber has the effect of decreasing intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding of MFC, thereby providing water repellency as well as enabling maintenance of soft and fluffy appearance of the fibrous monofilament when dried after wetting.

- the amino-functional component refers to a (polymer) component having free amino group(s).
- Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed 0- (1 — >4)-linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and /V-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). Chitosan is produced commercially by deacetylation of chitin, which is a structural element in the exoskeleton of crustaceans and cell walls of fungi. Degree of deacetylation (%DD) in commercial chitosan ranges from 60 to 100 %.
