DEFINITION
 To the criminal investigator the term fibre
generally means any tough filament like
substance that can be spun or woven.
 To the textile manufacturer a fibre is the
smallest visible unit from which a fabric is
made.
FORENSIC SIGNIFICANCE
 Fibre is used as an evidence to establish
an association
1. Between two persons
2. Between the person and the crime scene
3. Between the person and the vehicle
4. Between the person and the weapon
 Fibre can be used to establish lack of
association to protect the innocent.
Classification of Fibres
SILK WOOL
COTTON LINEN
NYLON ACRYLIC
RECOVERY AND COLLECTION
 There are various methods of Fibres
recovery and collection
I. Visual Search
II. Taping
III. Scraping
IV. Vacuuming
V. Combing
LABORATORY EXAMINATION OF
FIBRES
 There are two categories of methods
which are used for identification and
comparison of Fibres
I. Non-Destructive method
II. Destructive method
NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHODS
 Microscopy
 IR Spectroscopy
 Birefringence
 Refractive Index
 Density
 Color comparison
DESTRUCTIVE METHODS
 Melting point
 Dye Comparison
 Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography
 Heat and Flame test
 Chemical test
LIMITATIONS
 Mass production of fabric material and
commonness of such items reduces the
evidential value of fibres derived from
them.
 Difficulty of identifying unknown fibres in
the lab. There are large number of fibre in
the market and new ones are being
created all the time. So it is difficult for
expert to keep up for the developments.
