Resumen
Descripción
Brazilian researchers have used genetic breeding of cotton fibers in order to increase the production and to develop new species more appropriate to Brazil’s soil and climate. Furthermore, naturally colored cotton fibers are considered potential eco-friendly materials for textile industries because they avoid the use of synthetic pigments which in general, contain toxic chemicals such as heavy metals. In this context, some species of colored cotton with different colors were developed by Embrapa Algodo (Paraíba, Brazil), which was denominated according to their relative colors as: ruby, beige, brown, green and ruby. Beside the use of cotton fibers in textile industries, they have potential for application as reinforcement to polymer composites [1–3].
