Wood pulp and cotton fiber aren’t that different, are they?
- torginus 2y agoThey are? Generally fiber length determines how tough a given composite will be. There's a reason why clothes are made out of cotton fiber not wood.
- lazide 2y agoClothes are often made of (treated) wood fiber - it is what rayon/viscose is. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon] Clothes made of ‘bamboo fiber’ are made of rayon, for example. Cotton is also normally mercerized [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercerisation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercerisation], or treated like Denim, etc. It’s all made of cellulose at the end of the day.
