What are the advantages and disadvantages of lyocell?
Lyocell is supposed to be replacement for Viscose Rayon, which is considered as a non ecofriendly fibre because of manufacturing process which harmful top environment. Advantages of Lyocell are: 1) Lyocell manufacturing process is ecofriendly, NMMNO is used in manufacture of Lyocell fibre is recycled. 2)Dry and wet tenacity is very good in comparison to Viscose fibre. Disadvantages: 1) Fibrillation : which happens due to surface rupturing.
Can lyocell fabric shrink when you wash it?
I washed my Lyocell t-shirt in the washing machine and yes it did shink. Wash temperature was 50 degrees ;(
Is lyocell natural or man made?
Lyocell is newly developed man made fiber. It is like Rayon but the texture and fell is different. glad i could answer that for you :)

What other fibers is lyocell most similar in performance?
Rayon and Polyester
What is Lyocell used for?
converyor belts, medical dressings and speciality papers
Does flannel dry faster than cotton or satin?
Because it absorbs water, that helps it dry, unlike silk, and it doesn't have capillaries ,unlike cotton. I'm a super genius! No I'm not but I'm doing my science fair project on it. Ice cream will soon be know as the thing that saved man kind! XD

What are the solvents that dissolve cellulose?
you have a few options. while not many things will dissolve cellulose, there are a few combinations that will work. Thiourea / NaOH seem to prevent aggregation, provided that the solution is not concentrated. another combination that you might want to look into is LiCl / DMF. There might be other ion / solvent combinations that would work. a very harsh solvent is DMSO, so you might want to explore some other solvent ion combinations.
How does people use cellulose?
Cellulose is the major constituent of paper and cardboard and of textiles made from cotton, linen, and other plant fibers. Cellulose can be converted into cellophane, a thin transparent film, and into rayon, an important fiber that has been used for textiles since the beginning of the 20th century. Both cellophane and rayon are known as "regenerated cellulose fibers"; they are identical to cellulose in chemical structure and are usually made from viscose, a viscous solution made from cellulose. A more recent and environmentally friendly method to produce rayon is the Lyocell process. Cellulose is the raw material in the manufacture of nitrocellulose (cellulose nitrate) which was historically used in smokeless gunpowder and as the base material for celluloid used for photographic and movie films until the mid 1930s. Cellulose is used to make water-soluble adhesives and binders such as methyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose which are used in wallpaper paste. Microcrystalline cellulose (E460i) and powdered cellulose (E460ii) are used as inactive fillers in tablets[7] and as thickeners and stabilizers in processed foods. Cellulose is used in the laboratory as the stationary phase for thin layer chromatography. Cellulose fibers are also used in liquid filtration, sometimes in combination with diatomaceous earth or other filtration media, to create a filter bed of inert material. Cellulose is further used to make hydrophilic and highly absorbent sponges. Cellulose insulation made from recycled newsprint is becoming popular as an environmentally preferable material for building insulation. The major combustible component of non-food energy crops is cellulose, with lignin second. Non-food energy crops are more efficient than edible energy crops (which have a large starch component), but still compete with food crops for agricultural land and water resources.[8] Typical non-food energy crops include industrial hemp, switchgrass, Miscanthus, Salix (willow), and Populus(poplar) species. Some bacteria can convert cellulose into ethanol which can then be used as a fuel; see cellulosic ethanol.
