- Definition: Fiber is a natural or synthetic filamentous material, textile fibers refer to the fibers used for textile cloth.
- Textile fiber characteristics: textile fiber has a certain length, fineness, elasticity, strength and other good physical properties. It also has good chemical stability, such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp and other natural fibers are ideal textile fibers.
- Classification of textile fibers: natural fibers and chemical fibers.
(1) Natural fibers include plant fibers, animal fibers and mineral fibers.
①Plant fibers：such as cotton, hemp and fruit fibers.
②Animal fibers：such as wool, rabbit hair and silk.
③Mineral fibers：such as asbestos.
(2) Chemical fibers include regenerated fibers, synthetic fibers and inorganic fibers.
①Regenerated fibers：such as viscose fibers and acetate fibers.
②Synthetic fibers：such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, spandex, vinylon, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride
③Inorganic fibers：such as glass fibers, metal fibers, etc.
