Resumen

Las fibras vegetales, que se basan en estructuras ligno-celulósicas, están dispuestas como compuestos biomiméticos, en el sentido de que incluyen una relación compleja entre una matriz más blanda y un refuerzo más duro a través de una interfaz, con uso continuo de porosidades y arreglos celulares. Sin embargo, las fibras se pueden extraer de diferentes partes de la planta según la especie, en la práctica del tallo, la corteza, el fruto, la hoja o incluso la semilla. Existe una relación entre la región de las fibras y su estructura, que este trabajo pretende discutir, presentando una gran variedad de fibras, geometrías y colocaciones en la propia planta.
