Poster Print : SEM of lyocell (synthetic cellulose) fibres
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
SEM of lyocell (synthetic cellulose) fibres
Lyocell fibres. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of lyocell fibres. Lyocell is a synthetic fibre based on cellulose, a natural polymer. In the manufacture of lyocell, cellulose pulp is dissolved in a special solvent and then coagulated and spun into a fibre. This process is environmentally friendly. The fibre has the property of breaking up at least partially into tiny microfibres (fibrils). This is known as fibrillation. Lyocell with low fibrillation can be used in clothing as it has a very soft texture. Where a high degree of fibrillation is allowed lyocell can be used as a quality paper substitute.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of lyocell fibres, revealing the intricate structure of this synthetic cellulose material. Lyocell is derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in plants, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic fibers. The manufacturing process involves dissolving cellulose pulp in a specialized solvent and then coagulating and spinning it into fibers. One remarkable property of lyocell is its tendency to partially break up into tiny microfibers called fibrils, a phenomenon known as fibrillation. This unique characteristic makes lyocell ideal for various applications. When fibrillation is minimal, lyocell can be utilized in clothing due to its incredibly soft texture that provides unparalleled comfort against the skin. On the other hand, when high levels of fibrillation are desired, lyocell becomes an excellent substitute for quality paper. Its ability to form fine fibrils allows it to mimic the smoothness and durability required for premium paper products. Captured at an impressive magnification level of x3330 on a 10x8 inch print size, this SEM image offers us a glimpse into the microscopic world of materials science. It highlights not only the beauty but also the versatility of lyocell as both a fiber for clothing and an innovative solution within various industries seeking sustainable alternatives.
