Abstract (en)

Nonwoven fabric comprises natural fibers (1), where the natural fibers are at least partially split into elementary fibers (2) and supporting strands (3), and the natural fibers exhibit a length of at least 10 mm. Independent claims are also included for: (1) a fiber composite material comprising the nonwoven fabric and a plastic, in which the nonwoven fabric is embedded; and (2) producing the nonwoven fabric, comprising providing a fibrous web of natural fibers, subjecting the fibrous web with water jets at a pressure of 50-400 mPa, and solidifying the fibrous web to a nonwoven fabric with simultaneous splitting of the natural fibers into elementary fibers and supporting strands.
