Micro fibers Definition Fibers of i denier Manufacturing of microfibers Bicomponent fibers ● Island in sea ● Citrus
Micro fibers Definition ◼ Fibers of < 1 denier Manufacturing of microfibers ◼ Bicomponent fibers: ⚫ Island in sea ⚫ Citrus
Island in sea Manufacturing process Suspension of droplets of one component in matrix of the other Two components should have similar melting temperatures Can make composite fiber To obtain the microfiber from the composite fiber, the matrix should be soluble such as polyvinyl alcohol Extremely small fibers possible: <0. 1 denier
