Description
Hemp-based clothing are excellent for outdoor active wear, due to high strength, UV-protective qualities, mold resistance, and excellent moisture absorption and desorption. While academic research on hemp-based textiles in the US is increasing, it has naturally also become an area of interest to competing countries. Specifically, China is outperforming the US in hemp fiber technological advancements. Although hemp has excellent properties, hemp fabrics and garments still face major challenges in the fabrication process and wearability. To achieve the overarching goal of high-performance hemp military uniform, the first and crucial step is to develop high-quality hemp yarns. The proposed project will develop an innovative hybrid spinning process to yield wearable grade fabric yarns.
