Abstract
Structure and property of akund fiber were studied. Length, linear density, infrared spectrum, X-ray diffractogram, thermal property and tensile property of akund fiber were tested and contrasted to cotton and kapok. The results indicated that akund fiber length is about 31mm and linear density is about 1 dtex; its projection diameter is close to kapok. Akund fiber contains a relative large content of lignin. All of the three kinds of fibers are cellulose I crystal, the crystallinity of akund fiber is the smallest and is only 28.92%. Breaking strength and breaking elongation rate of akund fiber is smaller than that of cotton and larger than that of kapok.
