A study of the hemicellulose of milkweed floss (Asclepias syriaca, L.).

Seed-hairs are fibers located on the seeds of various plants, designed by nature to make it possible for the seeds to spread by the wind. One of these seed fibers, cotton, is exceptional in its high content of cellulose and has attained an importance far exceeding that of any other material of its k...
