Fibers
8/30/2008
“Fiber or fibre is a class of materials that are
continuous filaments or are in discrete elongated pieces, similar to lengths of
thread. They are very important in the
biology of both plants and animals, for holding tissues together. Human uses
for fibers are diverse. They can be spun into filaments, string or rope, used as
a component of composite materials, or matted into sheets to make products such
as paper or felt. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials.
Synthetic fibers can be produced very cheaply and in large amounts compared to
natural fibers, but natural fibers enjoy some benefits, such as comfort, over
their man-made counterparts.”
