What are the 12 common textile fibers that Liyuan Fiber tells you?

    Clothing (textile) materials - types and characteristics of textile fibers, textile fibers are the basic materials that constitute fabrics (we will not start with macromolecules), and there are two categories: natural fibers and chemical fibers.

1. Natural fiber. Conventional natural fibers include cotton, hemp, silk, and wool. With the development of science and technology, new natural fibers have emerged, such as pineapple leaf fiber and bamboo fiber, which is now commonly used. They are all excellent textile fiber raw materials that nature has dedicated to us.

      Cotton, hemp, bamboo, and pineapple leaf fibers are natural cellulose fibers, which are quickly charred to ashes when ignited with fire, accompanied by the smell of burning grass. Wool and silk fibers are natural animal fibers. After being ignited, they will zoom and smell of burning hair. Among them, silk fibers are a kind of long-fiber material that has been put into use and can be as long as several hundred meters. The spider silk fibers under study should also be long. fiber, but not put into practical use.

2. Chemical fiber. Chemical fibers have emerged with the development of the chemical industry and have now become the main body of textile fibers.

It is divided into two categories, one is synthetic fiber, the other is regenerated fiber.

A. Synthetic fibers are made of petroleum as raw materials and are chemically polymerized. The main fiber materials are polyester, nylon, acrylic, vinylon, polypropylene, vinyl, spandex, etc. They can be cut to different lengths as required or filament used directly. Its uniform combustion characteristic is melting into droplets.

Polyester fiber has good rigidity, good shape retention and stiffness, and is often blended with cotton and wool.

Nylon, also known as nylon, is a relatively elastic fiber material and is very wear-resistant. It is often used as the "three mouths" of clothing and is often used in hosiery products. In recent years, nylon and viscose fibers are commonly interwoven to form nylon. Sticky interwoven fabric.

Acrylic fiber is a synthetic fiber with good heat retention, commonly known as synthetic wool, which is often used as a sweater material.

The hygroscopic performance of vinylon is very good among synthetic fibers, and its wearing performance is close to that of cotton fibers.

Polypropylene fiber is light in texture and has a specific gravity of 0.91. It is a very light material in textile fibers at present. It is wear-resistant, durable and does not pill.

Chlorine is not easy to burn, and is often used for civilian products such as knitted underwear and wool. It is also used in industrial filter cloth, work clothes, insulating cloth, safety tents, etc.

Spandex is a kind of fiber material with high elasticity. It has high elongation and high elasticity. It is often used as a tight-fitting product. However, due to its non-coloring and low strength, it is rarely used as bare silk.

B. Regenerated fibers, also known as man-made fibers, are made of natural materials through pulping and spinning, and are divided into regenerated cellulose and regenerated protein. Among them, viscose fiber (regenerated cellulose fiber) is commonly used, which has the main characteristics of cotton and hemp, but its strength is lower than that of cotton and hemp, and its wet strength is smaller. Regenerated proteins are less used, and chitin fibers are well-established in today's medical field.
