Fiber: Fiber (American English) and
Fibre (International English). The fundamental component used in making
textile yarns and fabrics. Fibers are fine substances with a high ratio
of length to thickness. Fiber is a hair-like strand of material. It is a
substance that is extremely long in relation to its width, at least 100
times longer that it is wide. A fiber is the smallest visible unit of
any textile product. Fiber is a long material with a very high length to diameter ratio which is known as fiber. e. g: 1400:1.
According to Textile Institute, Fibers are defined as the units of matter characterized by fineness, flexibility and high ratio of length to thickness.
Textile Fiber: There are some difference between fibers to textile fiber.Textile fiber is the materials which consists fibrous structure and whose can be spun into yarn, suitable for weaving and knitting and easily colored by suitable dyestuff are known as textile fibers. So textile products have to contain the following characteristics:
- Fibrous structure
- Length: width (1000:1)
- Spunable i.e.- They must have spinning quality
- Sufficient strength
- Elasticity and flexibility
- Fineness and Color
- Dye Ability i.e.-affinity towards dye stuffs.
Fiber Classification:
Fibril: A
fibril is a very small cell or fiber. a long cell or fiber of very
small diameter of a components of cell wall. The length of a fiber is
conveniently measurable in inch which equal to 1/25,000of an inch
Staple fibers: Short length of fiber, which have been chopped from continuous filaments in lengths of approximately 15-500mm.
Continuous fiber: A
manufactured fiber of indefinite length (continuous ) extruded from the
spinneret during the fiber production process. The length of a filament
is measured in yards or meters.
