Fiber Properties

Fiber properties refer to the characteristics that determine how fibers behave and feel, influencing their suitability for different uses. Key properties include strength (how much pulling force they withstand), elasticity (how well they stretch and return to shape), moisture absorption (how much water they can hold), and texture (smooth or rough surface). These traits affect durability, comfort, and performance in textiles. For example, strong fibers like polyester resist tearing, while natural fibers like cotton are breathable and soft. Understanding these properties helps in selecting the right fiber for specific applications, ensuring quality and functionality.
