Common Milkweed as an Alternative Cellulose Fiber Source for Making Paper with Strength and Moisture Resistance

摘要

1. Fibers from the stems of milkweed can be processed into pulp, and the pulp can be used to produce paper (non-wood fiber materials). 2. Due to the density and strength of the milkweed stems, a mechanical process is not recommended. A large quantity of fiber clumping occurred. Clumps were so densely compacted they made the mechanical process completely unproductive.
