Dimensions of Fibers and Ultimate Cells in Typical Vegetable Fibers... 

Fib r Dimensions. Except for the seed-hair flbers, the vegetable flbers of bast or leaf origins are multicelled (Fig 1) and are used as strands (see Table 3) (1,2,9,11). In contrast to the bast fibers, leaf fibers are not readily broken down into their ultimate cells. The ultimate cells are composites of microfibrils, which, in turn, are comprised of groups of parallel cellulose chains.
