Properties of Natural and Man made fibersTalha Rehman
This fiber test report summarizes burn, chemical, and microscopic tests performed on several natural and synthetic fibers. Cotton, linen, wool, jute, and silk are analyzed as natural fibers. Rayon, polyester, and nylon are examined as synthetic fibers. For each fiber, the burn test describes how it ignites and behaves when burned. The chemical test discusses the fiber's reactions to bleaches, acids, and alkalis. The microscopic test outlines what each fiber looks like at the microscopic level.
This document discusses methods for identifying different types of fibers, including cotton, wool, linen, silk, acetate, rayon, and polyester. The three main methods discussed are burn testing, microscopic analysis, and chemical tests. Burn testing examines how the fiber burns and what odor/residue is produced. Microscopic analysis looks at the fiber structure and appearance under a microscope. Chemical tests investigate how the fibers react to specific solutions to determine their composition. The document provides details on the characteristic signs for each fiber type under each testing method.
This document discusses various methods for characterizing fibers, including microscopic, burning, and solubility tests. Microscopic tests allow distinguishing between natural and man-made fibers by examining fiber characteristics like cross-sectional shape under high magnification. Burning tests identify fibers based on how they burn and the smell, flame, ash, and melting behaviors. Solubility tests use solvents to dissolve certain fibers but not others, helping to identify fiber composition. These methods help determine the structural, physical and chemical properties of fibers.
This document provides information on various types of tests used to identify different types of fibers, including non-technical and technical tests. Non-technical tests include feeling, burning, and other basic observational tests. Technical tests require laboratory equipment and include microscopic analysis to examine fiber structure and characteristics, as well as chemical tests using reagents and solvents to isolate individual fibers. The document describes the processes and observations for each test and fiber type to allow for accurate fiber identification.
The document describes various tests for identifying natural and synthetic fibers:
- Burning tests examine how fibers burn and the characteristics of the flame, smoke, odor, and ash. Cotton burns steadily like paper while wool curls away from flame and burns slowly like hair.
- Microscopic tests reveal distinguishing features like cotton's spiral shape, wool's layered structure, and nylon's smooth round appearance.
- Chemical tests use solvents to dissolve certain fibers - concentrated hydrochloric acid dissolves silk but not wool, showing how to distinguish the two protein fibers. Identification is difficult when fibers are blended chemically.

3. BURN TEST: The fabric will burn fast and the fire will
singe the fabric. The flame will have a yellow glow and after
the lighter is removed, the fabric will continue to burn
quickly with an afterglow. The smell will be neutral, like
burning paper, and the ashes left behind will be light and
gray in color.
MICROSCOPIC TEST: It is a single elongated cell. Under
the microscope, it resembles a collapsed, spirally twisted
tube with a rough surface. The thin cell wall of the fiber has
from 200 to 400 convolutions per inch.
COTTON
5. BURN TEST: Wool is a natural fiber that comes from an animal,
so it too curls away from the flame and lights on fire slowly. It too
will have trouble staying burning after the fire is pulled away and
the wool will smell like burning hair, as it is in fact, burning animal
fibers. The smell will be slightly more intense than silk. The ash left
behind will be dark, with some beads of burned fibers.
MICROSCOPIC TEST: Under the microscope , wool’s cross section
shows three layers- epidermis, cortex and the medulla.
Wool
7. BURN TEST: The fabric will burn quickly and the flame
will singe the fabric, just like with cotton. The main
difference is that the flame will burn slower than cotton and
will have less of an afterglow. The smell and ash will be just
like that of cotton.
MICROSCOPIC TEST: Under the microscope, the hair
like flax fiber shows several sided cylindrical filaments with
fine pointed ends. The fiber somewhat resembles a straight,
smooth.
LINEN
9. BURN TEST: When silk is held to a flame, the fabric
will curl away from the fire and will smolder instead
of igniting quickly. The fabric will burn slowly and will
have trouble staying lit, and once the flame is pulled
away, the fire will go out. The smell will be more like
burning hair, because it is part of an animal, and not
of a plant.
SILK
10. MICROSCOPIC TEST: It appears somewhat
elliptical and triangular in cross section when we
see under the microscope. It is composed of
fibroin, consisting of two filaments, called brin
which is held together by sericin.
SOLUBILITY TEST:
Acetone 100%: Insoluble
Hydrochloric acid 60%: Partially soluble
Sulfuric acid 60%: Soluble
Sulfuric acid 70%: Soluble
Chlorine bleach 5%: Soluble
Formic acid 90%: Partially soluble
11. BURN TEST: Polyester will actually melt when hit with a
flame, burn slowly, and do its best to repel the fire. It won’t
actually stay burning once the fire is removed from the
fabric, and as you can image, the smell will be strong and
have a toxic chemical odor. The ash left behind won’t be ash
at all, rather it will be hard melted black beads of plastic that
won’t break easily.
MICROSCOPIC TEST: Polyester fibers are smooth and
straight and the cross-section is round. This general
characteristics may be altered to achieve certain
characteristics.
Polyester
13. BURN TEST: As rayon is a natural fiber made of
cellulose, it will burn fast and singe quickly like cotton
and linen. Due to its lightness, it will burn even faster
than cotton and the flame will be a brighter yellow.
Even once the fire is pulled away, the fabric will burn
very quickly; though unlike cotton and linen, there will
be no afterglow. Like linen and cotton, the smell will
be natural and the ash will be light and gray.
VISCOSE RAYON
14. MICROSCOPIC TEST: Rayon fibers have a glasslike
luster under the microscope and appear to have a
uniform diameter when viewed longitudinally.
SOLUBILITY TEST:
Acetone 100%: Insoluble
Hydrochloric acid 60%: Insoluble
Sulfuric acid 60%: Soluble
Sulfuric acid 70%: Soluble
Chlorine bleach 5%: Insoluble
Formic acid 90%: Insoluble
15. BURN TEST: Similar to polyester, nylon will have
nearly all the same reactions, but it will melt more and
burn less. The smell will actually be less intense, and
like polyester the burning will leave behind hard black
melted beads instead of burned ash.
MICROSCOPIC TEST: The basic microscopic appearance is
generally fine ,round, smooth, and translucent. It is also
produced in multilobal cross-sectional types.
NYLON
17. BURN TEST: The behavior of acetate will be similar to
the other synthetics above, but the main difference is
that it will melt and drip like a chemical liquid. The smell
will be pungent and after it cools, the ash left behind
will be like black melted beads of plastic.
MIRCOSCOPIC TEST: The cross sectional view has a
bulbous or multilobal appearance with
indentations. These indentations appear as occasional
markings.
ACETATE
