Fibers
Catalyst 1/7/13Take the next 5-7 minutes to put your presentation together.
1. Save each KeyNote file as LastName.FiberType” (For example, if your last name is Rodriguez, your file should be saved as Rodriguez.FiberType)
2. Email ALL KeyNote files as POWERPOINT FILES to gutierrezbr@elizabeth.k12.nj.us. (No dongle so you must email it to me.)
3. When time is called, you must be ready to go or points will be deducted.

Fibers Case Study • Fibers -- Atlanta Murders (1979-1981)
Over a two-year period, 29 young African Americans were found strangled and smothered in Atlanta, Ga. Eventually, a police stakeout identified a suspect, Wayne Williams, who had a suspicious explanation for why he was on a bridge not far from where a body was found two days later. Lacking witnesses, forensic investigators built a case against Williams that was based almost entirely upon fiber and statistical evidence. Working with chemists from textile maker DuPont, they linked a fiber found in one victim’s hair to an unusual make of carpet in Williams' home, and calculated that the odds of the victim coming in contact with it in the Atlanta area were 1 in 7,792. A fragment of rayon found on another victim’s shorts was consistent with the carpeting in Williams’ station wagon, a match that had a 1-in-3,828 chance of occurring in Atlanta. Either piece of evidence left room for reasonable doubt, but the probability of both happening by coincidence was 1 in 29,827,776. Fiber evidence from other victims drove the odds up into the trillions. It took a jury less than 12 hours of deliberation to find Williams guilty, and he is now serving two life terms.

• Considered as class evidence (WHY?)
• Have probative value (WHY?)
• Are common trace evidence at a crime scene
• Can be characterized based on comparison of both physical and chemical properties

FabricFabric is made of fibers. Fibers are made of twisted filaments.
Types of fibers and fabric:
Natural Artificial
• animal• vegetable• inorganic
• Synthesized • created from altered
natural sources (rayon)

Polymers
• Synthetic fibers are made of polymers, which are long chains of repeating chemical units.
• The word polymer means many (poly) units (mer).
• The repeating units of a polymer are called monomers.
Fiber Polymers• Amino acids – composed of a carboxyl group and
amino group• Amino acids chemically combine to form polypeptides
Polyester Synthesis – Polymerization Reaction
Polymer
Forensics Fiber Analysis
• By varying the chemical structure of the monomers or by varying the way they are joined together, polymers are created that have different properties.
• As a result of these differences, they can be distinguished from one another forensically.
Objective
We will be able to:• Analyze weave patterns• Compare and contrast the chemical structures of
different types of fibers• Explain how the chemical structure of a fiber affects
its properties
Basic Chemistry (Chemistry is EVERYWHERE. Stop the groaning and get over it.)
• Organic chemistry deals with carbon-containing compounds
• Carbon can form ______ bonds• Most atoms want ______ valence electrons• Chemical reactions occur because _________.• Electronegativity is how attractive an atom is to
electrons in a chemical bond.

Classification
Natural fibers are classified according to their origin:1. Vegetable or cellulose
2. Animal or protein
3. Mineral
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 24
Cellulose FibersCotton—vegetable fiber;
strong, tough, flexible, moisture-absorbent, not shape-retentive
Rayon—chemically altered cellulose; soft, lustrous, versatile
Cellulose acetate—cellulose that is chemically altered to create an entirely new compound not found in nature
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 25
Fiber Comparison
Can you describe the difference(s) between the cotton onthe left and the rayon on the right?
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 26
Protein Fibers
Wool—animal fiber coming most often from sheep, but may be goat (mohair), rabbit (angora), camel, alpaca, llama, or vicuña
Silk—insect fiber that is spun by a silkworm to make its cocoon; the fiber reflects light and has insulating properties
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 27
Mineral Fibers
Asbestos—a natural fiber that has been used in fire-resistant substances
Rock wool—a manufactured mineral fiber
Fiberglass—a manufactured inorganic fiber
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 28
Synthetic FibersMade from derivatives of petroleum, coal, and natural gas
Nylon—most durable of man-made fibers; extremely lightweight
Polyester—most widely used man-made fiber
Acrylic—provides warmth from a lightweight, soft, and resilient fiber
Spandex—extreme elastic properties

Fabric Production
Fabrics are composed of individual threads or yarns that are made of fibers and are knitted, woven, bonded, crocheted, felted, knotted, or laminated. Most are either woven or knitted. The degree of stretch, absorbency, water repellence, softness, and durability are all individual qualities of the different fabrics.
Weave Terminology
Weave Pattern Notes
• Create a table in your notebook that looks like the one below.
Plain Twill Satin
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 32
Weave Patterns
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 33
Plain Weave
• Simplest and most common
• The warp and weft yarns pass under each other alternately
• Looks like a checkerboard
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 34
Twill Weave• The warp yarn is passed
over one to three weft yarns before going under one.
• Makes a diagonal weave pattern.
• Design resembles stair steps.
• Denim is one of the most common examples.
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 35
Satin Weave
• The yarn interlacing is not uniform
• Creates long floats
• Interlacing weave passes over four or more yarns
• Satin is the most obvious example
Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company 36
Knitted Fabric
• made by interlocking loops into a specific arrangement.
• formed into successive rows of loops and then drawn through another series of loops to make the fabric.

Filament Cross Sections
Synthetic fibers are forced out of a nozzle when they are hot, and then they are woven. The holes of the nozzle are not necessarily round; therefore, the fiber filament may have a unique shape in cross section.

Fiber, fiber, fiber• You will be assigned a type of fiber. Research the following:
– The chemical structure of that fiber– The physical properties of that fiber– Other special properties of that fiber– How to differentiate that fiber from others
• You will take the information you have researched and create a KeyNote slide(s)– Include images/diagrams where appropriate– Use concise language and avoid using excessive text (DO
NOT JUST COPY AND PASTE)– Cite your reference(s) using MLA format
