  2. Polyester Fibers • Strong • Resistant to stretching and shrinking • Resistant to most chemicals • Quick drying • Crisp and resilient when wet or dry • Wrinkle resistant • Mildew resistant • Abrasion resistant • Retains heat-set pleats and crease • Easily washed SEM picture of a bend in a high-surface area polyester fiber with a seven-lobed cross section

  3. Linen • Woven texture- smooth • ends of the fibers are pointed • Used in bed sheets, kitchen linen, towels, shirts, swimwear, etc… • Interesting use: combat and police uniforms

  9. Jute • Jute is one of the cheapest natural fibers and is second to cotton in the amount produced. • Jute is often woven into carpets, chair covers and curtains • It is brittle, crease resistant and often sheds • Jute is easily dyed but becomes weak when wet. • This fiber is usually frayed at the ends and can be weaved with other natural and synthetic fibers.

  10. Kevlar • Used for body armor and bicycle tires • Strong synthetic fiber, weave is also tight to protect from breakage • Ends are straight not frayed • It also can be used for a replacement for asbestos as brake pads
