Fibre As per Webster s New Twentieth Century Dictionary of English Language, 2nd Edn. `fibre means- filament and thread like part of a substance as a filament of spun glass, wool, or hornblende . Even a `filament , according to this Dictionary, consequently constitutes fibre . Similarly, in Chamber s Encyclopaedia , Vol. 5 at p. 613, the term `fibre is explained thus: Fibre , a term used for a thread-like element of animal or vegetable tissue.......and any thread or filament used in the manufacture of textile materials. The range of fibres used for making fabrics was restricted to naturally occurring substances until the introduction of man-made fibres. These include regenerated fibres, such as those made from cellulose, and truly synthetic fibres, such as nylon, Terylene, and Courtelle. SIRSILK LTD.
