This sample shows in figures of sample is parcelled by a piece of paper to make into the cylinder shape, we tore the outer paper and drag out the cellulose acetate inside. This material used in the cigarette filter is combined by numerous cellulose acetate fibres when pulling a small beam of fibres, you can feel it is quite pliable. But if you add a shear force to it, it is easy to break into two pieces.
