Review Papers of Fibers

Dear Colleagues,

Fiber is a natural or human-made substance that is significantly longer than it is wide, which plays an important role in daily life. In plants and animals, fibers play an important role in maintaining tissue. Fibers are widely used and can be woven into thin threads, thread ends and hemp ropes, and can also be woven into fiber layers when making paper or weaving felt. It is also commonly used to manufacture other materials, and to form composite materials together with other materials. Fiber filling can effectively improve the strength and stiffness of plastics. The application of fiber is ubiquitous in life, and it contains high technology, high temperature resistance of missiles, collapse of river embankments, and prevention of cracking of cement, all of which are inseparable from fibers.
