Resumen:
Fibers for commercial and domestic use are broadly classified as natural or synthetic. The natural fibers are vegetable, animal, or mineral in origin. Vegetable fibers, as the name implies, are derived from plants. The principal chemical component in plants is cellulose, and therefore they are also referred to as cellulosic fibers. The fibers are usually bound by a natural phenolic polymer, lignin, which is also frequently present in the cell wall of the fiber; thus, vegetable fibers are also often referred to as lignocellulosic fibers, except for cotton, which does not contain lignin.
