Fibre remie

Remie fibres tend to have a hairy feel which reduces their cohesion. They are smooth and cylindrical, with thick wall. The surface of the cell is marked by little... 

Degumming of remie is a long and complex procedure. Different degumming technologies [67-72] use different auxiliaries. Besides boiling-off, other treatments such as scuthing, washing in acid solution and water etc. directly effect the sheen and gum content of the mass of cleaned fibre. 

The effects of slack and tension mercerization on the morphology and accessibility characteristics of remie, flax and cotton fibres are compared [66], Mercer-... 

With the same dyes and conditions of dyeing used for remie, flax and cotton, variations exist in the shade produced. All three fibres can be successfully mercerized to improve dye exhaustion and colour yield, but the extent of increased depth of shade produced on each treated fibre will vary with the specific dye used.

Bast fibres like linen and remie are multiple cellular systems, in contrast to cotton, which consists only of a single cell. Multicellular fibres contain natural gums and resins that keep the cell together. Crystallinity indices of cotton, linen, remie and viscose fibres do not change after the enzymatic hydrolysis, nor does accessibility to moisture [39]. Consequently, neither the ratio of crystalline to amorphous material nor the DP of the residue changes significantly [40].
