- Fibres
- Extrusion
- The process in which fibres are made by melting polymers and forcing them through a spinneret to produce filament fibres
- Spinneret
- Liquid polymers are put into the top and come out as filament fibres
- Polymer
- Lots of monomers joined together in a long chain
- The process in which fibres are made by melting polymers and forcing them through a spinneret to produce filament fibres
- Filament
- Long fibres (mostly synthetic and regenerated, but can be cut up into staple)
- Staple
- Short fibres (mostly natural, except silk)
- Synthetic Fibres
- Fibres which come from chemical (oil, coal, petrochemicals)
- Regenerated Fibres
- Fibres which come from chemicals (oil, coal, petrochemicals) and are mixed with cellulose (from plants)
- Staple
- Yarn
- Many fibres twisted and stretched together
- Long fibres (mostly synthetic and regenerated, but can be cut up into staple)
- Polymer
- Liquid polymers are put into the top and come out as filament fibres
- Can be different lengths

- Staple
- Yarn
- Many fibres twisted and stretched together
- Long fibres (mostly synthetic and regenerated, but can be cut up into staple)
- Filament
- Either natural or synthetic
- Natural Fibres
- Fibres which come from animals and plants
- Natural Fibres
- A hair like structure, which can be woven, knitted, felted or bonded together to create fabric
- Extrusion
