Enhancing the Softness of Bamboo Fabric as a Sustainable Material through Silicon-Based Modifications"
As global resource demands increase and the severe impacts of our ongoing dependence on fossil fuels become increasingly evident, there is a growing emphasis on sustainable, nature-based solutions to address the complex environmental challenges our planet faces. 1-2 The world is continually exploring and adopting innovative materials, with an increasing preference for eco-friendly products. One standout option among these sustainable materials is bamboo, known for being the fastest-growing woody plant on Earth3. This renewable resource is extensively cultivated across Asia and serves as the foundation for a wide variety of functional and decorative items. 4 This paper examines the properties and ecological benefits of bamboo fiber. Regenerated bamboo fibers, recognized for their high cellulose content, have gained significant popularity in the market, positioning bamboo as a fashionable and durable eco-friendly material for construction. Due to its exceptional properties, bamboo fiber is widely used to produce yarns and textiles5. These fibers are incorporated into a diverse range of products, including apparel such as underwear, activewear, t-shirts, and socks, as well as personal care items like sanitary pads, and are utilized in various sectors such as healthcare, military, industry, home decor, and furnishings.1-6
