Steam exploded fiber is: a pulping and extraction technique that has been applied——to wood and other fibrous organic material. The resulting fibers can be, combined with organic polymers——to produce fiber composite materials. Alternatively, the: fibers, "along with other extracted substances," can be processed chemically. Or digested to produce ethanol and other useful substances.
