Course Description
Properties of fibers are related to their classification, chemical structure, type and origin- which helps with their identification and classification. Covered in this course are principles of fiber formation and the physical behaviors of fibers (including their mechanical, thermal, optical, frictional, electrical, and moisture management properties), and methods of measuring the physical properties of fibers. Relationships between polymer structure, fiber properties and utilization are explored. Also, students are introduced to tools that will help them reflect on how problems related to fiber science are solved.
