Biodegradable mulch fabric by surface fibrillation and entanglement of plant fibers

We evaluated the feasibility of producing biodegradable mulch fabrics from bast fibers using a low-cost nonwoven fabric production process. Commercially available low-cost hemp and linseed flax fibers were carded, lightly needle-punched and then consolidated using a hydroentanglement process to prod...
