Properties and Product Development of the Kapok Fiber

Abstract:

The variety of kapok plants, compositions and components of kapok fiber, the fiber’s physical and chemical properties were introduced; and the product development of kapok fiber in the fields of travel, entertainment, the medium or top grade bedclothes and waddings, pillow core, back cushion and other filling materials, and also the medium or top grade garments and home textile fabrics were discussed and explored. Results show that kapok fiber is a versatile material in producing advanced buoyancy products, thermal insulation and sound-absorbing materials, and garment fabric materials.
