Textile fibers biological properties

The biological properties of textile fibers describe their response under the influence of microorganisms. Antimicrobial fibers are often used in medical applications, socks, shoe liners, etc. antimicrobial agents are introduced directly into the fiber matrix as opposed to fiber having an antimicrobial finish applied. Biodegradable fibers are those fibers that are able to be broken down by microorganisms so that they can be returned to the environment without causing pollution. [Pg.38]

The thermal degradation of textiles is influenced by the environment in which they exist as well as by impurities, additives, and finishing agents in the fiber. Damage to all fibers by heat and secondary influences such as ultraviolet light and biological attack occurs more rapidly in humid atmospheres. Cotton and silk can withstand higher temperatures than can wool without adverse effects on their fiber properties. [Pg.201]
