Essential properties of Textile fibers:

-Staple length
-Tensile strength
-Fineness
-Cohesiveness
-Uniformity


Staple length:

Length is an important parameter which is determined the usefulness of textile fiber. When a continuous yarn is to be made out of individual fibers. It should process a considerable length reference to its diameter, otherwise it would not be possible to make a yarn that would hold together the constituent fibers. This is referred to as the length to breadth ratio. The most useful] all fiber should have the length to diameter/breadth ratios of more than 100:1.


Tensile strength: 

The strength indicates the resistance sustained by fibers, the yarns or the fabrics to break when force is applied to them. Normally strength of a textile fiber is measured in tencion when the fiber is loaeld along its long and ids designated as “Tensile Strength”. The tensile strength of the textile fiber is measured as the maximum tensile stress in force per unit cross-sectional area or per unit linear density, at the time of rupture called Tenacity.                    

Cohesiveness: 

It is the ability of the fiber to stick together properly during yarn manufacturing process. It is the property of an individual fiber by virtue of which the fiber are spin into yarn.

Uniformity:

 Uniformity of fiber towards its length, ensure production of even yarns which can then form fabric of uniform appearance and consistent performance.

Difference between Hydrophilic & Hydrophobic fiber?

Difference between Hydrophilic & Hydrophobic fiber: Hydrophilic Hydrophobic The fibers which is absorb water is known as Hydrophobic fibers. The fibers which is not absorb water is known as Hydrophobic fibers. Most of natural fibers are Hydrophilic fiber. Most of man-made fibers are Hydrophilic fiber. These are less sustainable. These are more sustainable. This types of fibers attract moisture of the body. This types of fibers repel moisture of the body. This types of fibers are more comfortable than Hydrophobic fibers. This types of fibers are less comfortable than Hydrophilic fibers. These fibers has low intermolecular force. These fibers has high intermolecular force.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMBED AND CARDED YARNS?

 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMBED AND CARDED YARNS: Combing and carding are two ways to prepare the raw fiber for spinning. In order to make yarn, the raw fibers need to be fluffed up and aligned prior to spinning. -Carding creates a slightly fuzzier yarn as not as many of the fibers are aligned. -Combing creates a smoother yarn as the fibers are more aligned. Combing is the more expensive process as you have higher waste involved than with carding.

”All fiber are not textile fiber but all textile fiber are fiber”. Describe this statement

"All fiber are not textile fiber but all textile fiber are fiber". It is true that all fiber are not textile fiber but all textile fiber are fiber. At first we have to know that what is fiber and textile fiber? A materials which is several times as long as its thickness as one of the dedicated hair like portions of the tissues of a plant, animal or other substances is called fiber. On the other hand, the materials or artificial which can be converted into yarn or fabric for clothing & also for domestic & industrials purpose by interlacing or inter-looping are known as textile fiber. Such as catkin and human hair these are fibers but not textile fiber because these cannot be converted into yarn and fabric for clothing and also for domestic & industrials purpose by interlacing or inter-looping that’s why we cannot say all fiber are not textile fiber but all fiber are fibers.
