Having fibrils or marked by the presence of small fibers; showing fibril-like divisions or patterns.
From Latin 'fibrilla' (small fiber) plus the suffix '-ated' (from Latin '-atus'), forming adjectives indicating a state or condition.
When a material becomes 'fibrilated,' its surface breaks down into countless tiny fibers—this is why old fabric frays and why some broken molecules look shredded under a microscope.
