A Unified Nomenclature for Plant Fibres for Industrial Use
Source abstract
Abstract
Cellulose in the cell wall occurs in microfibrils of various sizes. “Fibre” should refer only to single elongated plant cells, “fibre bundle” to assemblages of fibres. Fibres and bundles can be of various cell types (most sclerenchyma), sizes, volume fractions of cellulose and degree of lignification. Usage of any other terms is liable to lead to confusion. Fibre bundles for industrial use should be defined only by their dimensions, botanical origin and the extraction procedures used.
