Lignocellulosic natural fibres have a very long tradition for textile materials manufacturing.
Especially are these fibres important for technical textiles production. The series of plants
yielding conventional textile fibres, e.g. flax, hemp, etc. has been recently extended by several
abundant plant species traditionally not-connected with fibres extraction. Of huge interest
are especially agricultural wastes from cultures which are primary grown for food industry,
and their plant wastes additionally containing fibres. Different fibres have been studied by
several authors; their properties were determined and compared to the properties of conventional
fibres. Regardless of the origin fibre cells are elongated sclerenchyma cells of different
geometrical characteristics, associated in fibre bundles with adequate mechanical
properties. Several plant species were suggested for utilization from different geographic
areas
