Production of man-made fibres A brief history of man-made fibres Fibres are the strongest materials by mass and very thin, showing a length at least 100 times of their diameter. They can be separated as ready products from natural plants, animal furs and insect cocoons. Since the 19th century fibres have been produced by industrial
