The United Nations General Assembly declared 2009 as the International Year of Natural Fibres (IYNF), as well as the International Year of Astronomy. [1]The proposal for this international year originated in the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) at a joint meeting of the Intergovernmental Group on Hard Fibres and the Intergovernmental Group on Jute in 2004, and was endorsed by FAO ...
Kapok is a fibrous material classified along with cotton, as plant hairs or seed fibres, unicellular fibres that develop on the inside of the fruit bags. The kapok fibres are 10 to 35 mm ( 3 ⁄ 8 to 1 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) in length and are brittle due to lignification, and only spinnable when blended with other fibres, usually cotton.
Natural fibers are also used in composite materials, much like synthetic or glass fibers. These composites, called biocomposites, are a natural fiber in a matrix of synthetic polymers. [ 1 ] One of the first biofiber-reinforced plastics in use was a cellulose fiber in phenolics in 1908. [ 1 ]
