General schemes for the identification of natural and synthetic fibers have been estabhshed by the Textile Institute and by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (8). A comprehensive treatment of burning, solvent, staining, microscopy, and density techniques has been given (9) and a general discussion of procedures for identifyiag synthetic fibers has been presented (10).

Fibers (qv) have been defined by the Textile Institute as units of matter characterized by flexibility, fineness, and a high ratio of length to thickness (3). For use in textile applications, fibers should have adequate temperature stability, strength, and extensibility. Other important qualities include cohesiveness or spinability and uniformity. There are also several secondary characteristics that improve customer satisfaction and therefore may be desirable. These include cross-sectional shape, specific gravity or density, moisture regain, resiliency, luster, elastic recovery, and resistance to chemicals, environmental conditions, and biological organisms.
