Compared with woody fibers, natural non-wood fibers also propose some advantages including more porous, fineness, low density, cheapness, and biodegradability. Without a doubt, the majority of the advancement in cellulose-based materials during the past few years has been the separation of microfibrils from plant sources. Among the agro-residual bast fibers, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) and Saccharum officinarum (sugarcane) are one of the most perceptible fiber crops with superior cellulosic substance. Decortication is the method followed to extract the fiber from the harvested plant stem. The extracted fiber from the plant stem was materialized and investigated after its surface modification by delignification through the kraft pulping process. The inorganic substances were removed from the cellulose fiber to reduce its toughness and to improve its soft, flexible, and liquid absorbency properties. The raw fiber and pulped microfibrils were analyzed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) which finds the difference in their morphological structure. As beating and grinding of the fiber pulp for wet-laid nonwoven sheet formation were done and a free swell test for pulp was assessed for the absorbency property, it pertains good result ensemble for hygiene products such as cotton and wood pulp.
