Liyuan Fiber Introduction How many types of textile fibers are there?

1. Natural fibers: fibers grown or formed in nature and suitable for textile use are called.

(1) Vegetable fiber (natural cellulose fiber):

(2) Animal fiber (natural protein fiber):

(3) Mineral fibers:

Plant fibers (natural cellulose fibers) include: seed fibers, bast fibers, leaf fibers, fruit fibers, seed fibers, and unicellular fibers grown from epidermal cells of some plant seeds. Such as: cotton, kapok.

Bast fiber: A single or craft fiber obtained from the phloem of some plants. Such as: flax, ramie, jute.

Leaf Fibers:—Craft fibers obtained from the leaves or sheaths of some plants. Such as: sisal, abaca.

Fruit Fiber - Fiber obtained from the fruit of some plants. Such as: coconut fiber.

Animal fibers (natural protein fibers) include: hair fibers and glandular fibers.

Hair Fiber: Animal hair follicles grow fibers with a multicellular structure composed of keratin. Such as: sheep wool, cashmere, camel hair, rabbit hair, mohair.

Silk fibers: fibers secreted by some insect silk glands, especially by lepidopteran larvae, and by secretions from some mollusks. Such as: silk.

2. Chemical fiber:

(1) Regenerated fibers: chemical fibers with natural polymers as raw materials, chemical and mechanical methods, and the chemical composition is basically the same as that of the original high polymers. Such as: viscose fiber, cupro fiber, etc.

(2) Synthetic fibers: chemical fibers made of synthetically obtained polymers after monomers made from low molecules such as petroleum, coal, natural gas and some agricultural and sideline products as raw materials. Such as: polyester, nylon 6,66, acrylic, vinylon, polyvinyl chloride, spandex, etc.
