摘要
The corn husks were usually discarded as useless materials,after alkali treatment from which the corn husk fiber was obtained. The corn husk fiber included half degumming corn husk bundle fiber and corn husk single fiber. This study found that corn husk single fiber was a kind of cellulose fiber,and was obtained with the fully alkali treatment technique,the process of which was NaOH concentration 0.15 g/mL,temperature at 80℃,and reaction time about 2.5 h. The morphologies of corn husk single fibers presented nature convolutions along with the fiber axis. They were closed at both ends,and they had a pentagram cavity and oval-shaped crosssection. They were flat shape,the fineness of the fibers was close to cotton fiber,and the mechanical properties of the fibers were similar to hemp fiber. So the corn husk fibers could be predicted that they could be used in textile industry because their properties were very close to cotton fiber or flax fiber.
