Abstract
This chapter reviews the use of natural and synthetic fibres in composite nonwovens. It begins by reviewing the use of natural fibres including the most widely used: cotton, jute, kenaf and flax. Most nonwoven fibres are still, however, synthetic. The rest of the chapter discusses the use of polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene and nylon. The chapter concludes by reviewing the use of bicomponent fibres to combine the properties of different fibre types in maximising the functionality of nonwovens.
