| Question | Answer |
| What kind of evidence is fiber | class eviedence |
| 2 types | Natural and Man Made |
| Natural Fibers | Can come from, animal, plant, or mineral. |
| Man Made Fibers | Can come from synthesis or regenerated. (Lab) |
| Most common plant fiber | Cotton |
| Most common animal fiber | Wool |
| Most common mineral fibers | fiberglass/asbestos |
| How many fibers are synthetic fibers | more than half |
| Examples of synthetic fibers | nylon, acrylic, polyester, olefin |
| Cross section of synthetic fibers | rarely round or uniform |
| Polymer | heavy molecule formed by joining together a large number of molecules of low molecular weight (monomers) |
| Regenerated Fibers | made from chemically altering a natural polymer (cellulose) |
| Examples of regenerated fibers | Rayon, Acetate, Triacetate |
| Examining Fibers Techniques | Microscopic Analysis, Physical Analysis, Microchemical Analysis. |
| Microscopic Analysis | Color, Texture, Diameter, Shape pattern, Cross section appearance, Surface characteristics |
| Physical Analysis | Used when larger pieces are available, stretch strength, density |
| Microchemical Analysis | Usually destructive, burn analysis, acid/base testing, solubility, infrared and visible spectral analysis |
| Identification Tools | Microscope, flame test, chemical tests, chromatography, stain test, UV test. |
| Microscope | fibers appear differently |
| Flame Test | how a fiber burns/melts/ashes |
| Chemical Tests | Acid/Base dissolve test |
| Chromotography | Identify pigments in fabric |
| Stain Test | Does the fabric take a dye? |
| UV test | Does the fabric glow in blacklight? |
| Animal Hair Test Result | Flame - smells like burnt hair, Acid - silk dissolves, Base - wool dissolves. |
| Plant Test Result | Flame - smells like burnt paper, Acid - dissolves all plants |
| Mineral Test Result | Flame - does not burn, Acid - dissolves Fiberglass |
| Synthetic Fibers Test Results | Flame - melts, Acid - dissolves nylon |
| Regenerated Fibers Test Results | Flame - melts, Acid - dissolves |
| Fabric Weave Patterns | Plain, Twill, Satin |
| Plain (Tabby) weave pattern | Most common, over one under one, snag resistant, wrinkles |
| Twill weave pattern | Used in jeans, diagonal texture, over 2/3 and under 1, durable, dense, compact |
| Satin weave pattern | 3/4/5/6 over to 1, smooth on one side and dull on other, tends to snag/break |
