Document Summary
Fibers: any substance, natural, or manufactured, with a high length to width ratio and with suitable characteristics of being processed into a fabric. The foundation for understanding textiles and textile products is science. The reason for understanding the foundation is to predict textile performance, serviceability, and quality. Most customer dissatisfaction is the result of poor textile performance. The basic building block for all textile performance is the fiber. The basic building block for each type of fiber is the chemical structure. Understanding the chemistry of each type of fiber is essential to understanding properties such as: Once we know these properties, we will be able to predict good serviceability. Natural fibers: fibers grown or developed in nature in recognizable fiber form. Manufactured regenerated fibers: material found in nature, but needs to. Manufactured regenerated fibers: material found in nature, but needs to processed into a fiber. Synthetic fibers: fibers made from chemical compounds produced in manufacturing facilities.
