Wool fibers fall under which type of fiber classification?

In an investigation, collection of fibers within _______ is critical.

Only fibers that____________ are investigated

Uniqueness of fibers is critical

Microscope that has a special filter that allows the scientists to look at the fiber using specific wavelengths of light.

This instrument emits a beam that bounces off a material and returns to the instrument. The change in the beam of light reveals the chemical structure of the fiber.

Plant fibers all contain the polymer __________.

Plant fibers are soluble in water.

Plant fibers are very resistant to damage from harsh chemicals.

Plant fibers can only be dissolved by strong acids.

Plant fibers cannot absorb water.

This comes from a seedpod of a plant. It is the most common plant fiber used in textiles

Coarse fiber from the outside covering of coconuts. It is waterproof and used in doormats and baskets

The most common stem fiber. Used in linens.

Coarse stem fiber. Used to make ropes, mats, and handbags.

Stem fiber made from the thick region of the plant's stem. It is an alternative to cotton

Leaf fiber taken from a tree similar to the banana tree.

Leaf fiber taken from a desert plant. It is used to make ropes, twines and netting.

Mineral fiber that is the fiber form of glass. It is used to insulate buildings.

Mineral found in rocks. It is very durable. It is used to cover pipes, brake linings, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, shingles and insulation.

Natural Fibers degrade much more quickly than synthetic fibers.

Until the nineteenth century only plant and animal fibers were used to make clothes and textiles.

One quarter of the products produced today are artificially produced.

A small molecule that may bond to other small molecules to become a polymer is called a(n):

A substance composed of long chains of repeating units.

These are modified natural fibers. They are derived from cellulose cellulose (mostly plant).

The most common regenerated fiber. It is smooth and silky.

Regenerated fiber where cellulose is combined with acetate. It is used in carpets

Regenerated fiber where cellulose is combined with 3 acetate units. It is used in high performance clothing.

These fibers come from petroleum products. They are totally man made.

Very common synthetic fiber. It is found in polar fleece, wrinkle-resistant pants, and is added to natural fibers to give more strength.

Synthetic fiber similar to polyester, except it can be broken down by light and concentrated acid. Also called “artificial silk”.

Synthetic fiber that is called artificial wool. It has a light and fluffy feel.

Synthetic fiber used in high performance clothing, thermal socks and carpets. It is quick drying and resistant to wear.

Crosswise threads in a textile are called the:

Lengthwise threads in a textile are called the:

The pattern in which the weft passes over and under the warp fibers.

This is the simplest weave pattern. It forms a checkerboard. Each weft passes over one warp before going under the next one. This is called a 1/1 weave.

This weave pattern is used in rugged clothing. It has a 2/1 or 3/1 weave. The weft travels over two or three warp yarns and then under one, this creates a diagonal texture.

This weave pattern is a 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 6/1 or more, the weft travels over three or more warps and under one. It has a glossy surface and a dull back

The number of treads packed together for any given amount of fabric is known as:
