Abstract
Abstract Nowadays, functional and smart fibers have been extensively studied worldwide, and the research in developing sustainable fibers involved with natural plant is still in the early stage. Amaranthus Paniculatus L. (APL) is a natural annual plant which possesses strong growth ability. In present study, we aim to comprehensively develop and utilize APL, and successfully fabricated a series of “green” and functional composite fibers consisting of APL superfine power, TPU and PAN through wet-spinning technology. The resultant fibers were characterized in terms of mechanical properties, morphologies and thermal stabilities. Furthermore, the desirable antioxidant activity with around 30% DPPH free radical scavenging rate was demonstrated. Therefore, we believe that the present study can pave a way to make full use of natural plant and fulfilling the possibility of transferring waste to valuable products.
