Polymer Fiber
Fiber is a natural or synthetic string or used as a component of
composite materials or when matted into sheets, used to make
products such as paper, papyrus, or felt.
Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials.
The strongest engineering materials often incorporate fibers,
for example carbon fiber and ultra-high-molecular-weight
polyethylene.
Synthetic fibers can often be produced very cheaply and in
large amounts compared to natural fibers, but for clothing
natural fibers can give some benefits, such as comfort, over
their synthetic counterparts.
Natural Fibers
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll or
protective capsule around the seeds of cotton plants of the
genus Gossypium in the family of Malvaceae.
The fiber is almost pure cellulose.
