- Regenerated leather - "A process for manufacturing regenerated leather characterized by preparing a short-fiber and a long-fiber leather pulps from wasted natural leather; sending the two kinds of pulps separately to a refrigerator for freezing and then drying in a vacuum dryer; thus forming two sheets of cake-like leather by combining the two sheets to one and dipping with proper bonding agent, the ...
- Dispersion-shifted fiber - Dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF), specified in ITU-T G.653, is a type of single-mode optical fiber with a core-clad index profile tailored to shift the zero-dispersion wavelength from the natural 1300 nm in silica-glass fibers to the minimum-loss window at 1550 nm.
- Natural fiber - Fibers or fibres (see spelling differences) is a class of hair-like materials that are continuous filaments or are in discrete elongated pieces, similar to pieces of thread. They can be spun into filaments, thread, or rope.
- Rayon - Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulosic fiber. Rayon is produced from naturally occurring polymers and therefore it is not a truly synthetic fiber, nor is it a natural fiber.
- Fiber art - Fiber art is a style of fine art which uses textiles such as fabric, yarn, and natural and synthetic fibers. It focuses on the materials and on the manual labour involved as part of its significance.
