Fibres from spinifex grass, a grass native to australia, are full of noncellulose a material that can be weaved into latex, According to Researchers this significantly improved The physical Properties of latex. It also improved the thickness of latex meaning that condoms will also be safer and less prone to breaking.

The people involved are hopeing to refine their design so they can be even thinner. Towards the end of last year They were able to get them down To 45 microns which is about The width of the hair on your head.

Indigenous Communities in Australia have used Spinifex Grass extensively who the university of Queensland Team worked on with this project, The resins for example have been traditionally used to attach spear heads To their wooden shafts The Tribes involved with the research will have an going involvement and funding as the Technology is taken To Market.

I,m pleased the tribes/aborigines are Getting something from this for their Endeavour to Help.
