Description: Brassica napus L., which is commonly known as oilseed rape and canola, is the largest source of edible oil in Canada. The remaining plant material, such as the stem, remains unused for any immediate application and is returned to the soil for decomposition. An investigation has been conducted to extract, characterize and modify the fibre materials from B. napus stems for textile and apparel applications. To determine the optimum retting conditions, B. napus stems were retted in different retting conditions of varying temperature, material-liquor ratio, water change, and reuse of previous retted water. It was found that ~40 ?C is the optimum retting temperature for extracting fibres from B. napus stems. Among other retting variables, materials to liquor ratio did not have any impact on the completion of retting time while the use of retted water in subsequent retting accelerated the retting rate significantly. It was discovered that the virgin-retted fibres from Brassica plants exhibit many of the required textile properties including dye absorbency, strength, and thermal behaviour. However, the virgin-retted fibres do not exhibit the required spinning (yarn transformation) properties (softness, flexibility and individual fibre entity). In order to modify the Brassica fibres for spinnability, surface treatments were conducted and modified fibres have shown improved flexibility. The current research suggests that producing fibres from canola stubble and stems could be an additional income source for canola growers.
