Since the use of asbestos fibers is totally banned in the industrialized countries and discouraged in almost all countries, a large number of researchers around the world are working to obtain a replacement. Various forms of fabrics, meshes, and discrete fibers made of metal, mineral, polymeric, and naturally occurring materials have been investigated.
