Introduction
Cellulose fibers are natural fibers made of ether or esters
of cellulose. The primary sources of cellulose fiber are
wood, barks and leaves of plants. In this report, cellulose
fibers are segmented on the bases of types and end user
industry. In terms of types, cellulose fibers are mainly
classified as natural and synthetic. Due to the widely
different types of cellulose fibers available, both in nature
as well as in industries, these are further subdivided.
Natural fibers broadly consist of cotton, jute and wool.
Synthetic fibers comprise acetate, acrylic, aramid, rayon,
nylon, olefin and polyester.
