For other meanings of fiber/fibre please see Fibre (disambiguation)Fiber (disambiguation)''.Fiber (American English) or fibre (Commonwealth English) is a class of materials that are continuous filaments or are in discrete elongated pieces, similar to pieces of yarnthread. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials. They can be spun into filaments, thread, or rope. They can be used as a component of composite materials. They can also be matted into sheets to make products such as paper or felt.Fibers come from a wide variety of sources: Natural fiber include those made out of plants, animal and mineral sources. Natural fibers can be classified according to their origin. *fiber cropVegetable fibers generally comprise cellulose: examples include cotton, linen, jute, flax, ramie, sisal and Cannabis sativahemp. Cellulose fibers serve in the manufacture of paper and cloth. *Animal fibers include spider silk, sinew, hair, and wool. *Mineral fibers include asbestos. Asbestos is the only naturally occurring mineral fiber. Man-made fibers include those made artificially, but from natural raw materials (often cellulosic). Examples include fiberglass, rayon, acetate, Modal (textile)Modal, cupro, and the more recently developed Lyocell. Synthetic fibers are a subset of man-made fibers, which are based on synthetic chemicals rather than arising from natural chemicals by a purely physical process. Such fibers are quite often made from nylon, polyester, or Acrylic fiberacrylic polymers, although pure polyacrylonitrile fibers are mostly used to make carbon fiber. More exotic fibers have strong bonding between polymer chains (i.e. aramids), or extremely long chains (i.e., Dyneema). Elastomers can even be used, i.e. in spandex.
