Bast or phloem fibres (often designated as soft fibres) are enclosed in the inner bast tissue or bark of the stem of the dicotyledonous plants‚ helping to hold the plant erect. the cellular and woody tissues‚ i.e. the plant stalks are rotted away from the fibres.

(UK)PhD(Cal.‚USA) Abstract Vortex spinning can be viewed as a refinement of jet spinning‚ or a natural development in fasciated yarn technology. As in all other fasciated yarns‚ the structure of vortex yarn consists of a core of parallel fibres held together by wrapper fibres. This has been revealed by examining an untwisted vortex yarn sample under the Scanning Electron Microscope. Subsequently‚ the physical properties of vortex and air-jet yarns produced from different polyester cotton blends were
