Description
Bolskis and five co-authors test myrrh extract in spun yarns, in work from twenty twenty-four. Myrrh is a plant resin with anti swelling, antifungal, and antibacterial traits. Adding it to textile fibers could make medical or hygiene fabrics with built in protection.
Yarns were melt spun from two polymers, polylactide and polypropylene, each holding myrrh resin. Varied drawing ratios stretched the fibers to distinct degrees. Microscopy showed smooth surfaces with no cracks or visible resin clumps. Myrrh raised yarn strength per weight and lowered stretch at break. The trade off may suit uses where firmness matters more than elasticity.
