Materials composed of stacked plates are stronger than the same materials in bulk. However, such stacked plate materials are generally composed of hard, inorganic materials cemented together by a more flexible substance, and do not occur in long fiber shapes. Very few natural or manmade materials are composed of stacks of plate-like fibers. Manmade polymer fibers are nearly always round because they are fabricated using two-phase systems; for example, a solubilized polymer precursor or a monomer–initiator solution is introduced into air by electrospinning, extrusion, or pulling.
