Fiber and Material Study  Lesson 2 Fiber and its classification Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Tehcnology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 1  Fiber  It is defined as one of the delicate, hair portions of the tissues of a plant or animal or other substances that are very small in diameter in relation to their length. A fiber is a material which is several hundred times as long as its thick. 2 Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Tehcnology-Apparel and Fashion Technology  Textile Fiber  A textile fiber is a unit of matter, either natural or manufactured, that forms the basic element of fabrics and other textile structures.

It must have fibrous formation. 2. It Length is thousand times longer than its diameter. 3. It should have spun able ability. 4. It should have sufficient strength and spinning ability. 5. It should have contained elasticity and flexibility characteristics. 6. It must be Fineness. 7. It must have special color. 8. It should have affinity to dye stuff.

Animal Fiber Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 19  Plant fibers are classified into two groups: Soft Fibers: The process of preparing soft fibers for weaving is laborious. The plant is selected and harvested, partially dried, and then pounded with a stone mallet and scraped to clean the fibers. Hard Fibers: Hard fibers are subjected to successive phases of cutting, drying, cleaning, and soaking before they can be woven.

Leaf Fibers Cotton Sisal Coir Pineapple Kapok B. Bast Fibers Flax Hemp Ramie Bamboo Banana Jute Abaca Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 21 A.Seed Fibers Cotton ✓ almost pure cellulose, ✓ softness ✓ breathability ✓ length varies from 10 to 65 mm, and diameter from 11 to 22 microns. ✓ absorbs moisture Coir ✓ stronger but less flexible than cotton ✓ unsuitable for dyeing ✓ Low tensile strength ✓ good resistance to microbial action and saltwater damage Kapok light, brittle, elastic, lustrous and white or pale yellow in color Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 22 B. Bast Fibers Flax Like cotton, flax fiber is a cellulose polymer, but its structure is more crystalline, making it stronger, crisper and stiffer to handle, and more easily wrinkled. Hemp Long, strong and durable, hemp fibers are about 70% cellulose and contain low levels of lignin (around 8-10%). Ramie It has low elasticity and dyes easily. Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 23 B. Bast Fibers Bamboo Soft and Drapeable Smooth and Luxurious to the touch Good Breathability, Cool and Comfortable to wear Anti-static Strong and Durable Abrasion Resistant Banana enhanced tensile strength and modulus, low density, strong moisture absorption quality, good fire resistance quality, light weight, and low elongation at break Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 24 B. Bast Fibers Jute long, soft and shiny, with a length of 1 to 4 m and a diameter of from 17 to 20 microns. Abaca Abaca is prized for its great mechanical strength, buoyancy, resistance to saltwater damage, and long fiber length – up to 3 m. The best grades of abaca are fine, lustrous, light beige in colour and very strong. Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 25  C. Leaf Fibers 1. Sisal Lustrous and creamy white, sisal fiber measures up to 1 m in length, with a diameter of 200 to 400 microns. It is a coarse, hard fiber unsuitable for textiles or fabrics. 2. Pineapple A kilo of leaves may provide up to 15-18 pieces of white, creamy and lustrous as silk fiber about 60 cm long and it easily retains dyes. Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 26  Animal Fibers 1. Alpaca: It is partly hollow, from 20 to 70 microns in diameter and comes in 22 natural colours. It is light, stronger than sheep's wool, and provides excellent insulation. 2. Angora The silky white hair of the angora is a hollow fiber classed as wool. With a diameter of 14- 16 microns, it is one of the silkiest animal fibers. Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 27  3. Camel: Strong, lustrous and smooth · Warm and Lightweight 4. Cashmere It has natural crimp, allowing it to be spun into fine, lightweight fabrics. 5. Mohair Light and insulating, its tensile strength is significantly higher than that of merino wool. Technological University of the Philippines, Manila Bachelor of Technology-Apparel and Fashion Technology 28  6. Silk: It has good absorbency, low conductivity and dyes easily. Developed in ancient China, where its use was reserved for royalty, silk remains the "queen of fabrics". 7. Wool: It has natural crimpiness and scale patterns that make it easy to spin.
