SILK
MICROSCOPIC VIEWCROSS SECTIONAL STRUCTURE AND LONGITUDENAL STRUCTURE
BY BURN TEST
Burns slowlyIt shrinks from the flame.It is self-extinguishing i.e. it burns itself out.Its smells like burn hairIts gives out a little or no smoke.It residue the irregular soft bead.After burns it convert black ashes.
BY SOLUBILITY TEST
SOLUBLEHydrochloric acid 20%Sulphuric Acid 60%Molar sodium hypochloriteChlorine bleach 5%Partially soluble formic acid70% & 60% H2So4
IN-SOLUBLEMeta cresolAcetone 100%Xylene boiling
COTTON FIBER
MICROSCOPIC STRUCTURELongitudenal Structure And Cross-sectional structure:
BY BURN TEST
Burns quickly and leaves a yellow flame.Its smells like burning paper.The ash is fine and soft.The ash lefties easily crumbled.

WOOL FIBER
MICROSCOPIC STRUCTURE:LONGITUDENAL AND CROSS SECTIONAL STRUCTURE
BY BURNING TEST
Burns with an orange sputter color.It does not melt.It has a strong odor of burning hair.After burning it convert into black ashes.

MICROSCOPIC VIEWLongitudinal And Cross-sectional Structure:
BY BURNING TEST
Slow to ignite.Smells like burning paper.The ashes very brittle.

POLYSTERMICROSCOPIC STRUCTURE
LONGITUDENAL AND CROSS-SECTIONAL STRUCTURE
BY BURNING TESTIt will shrink from the flame.The melting, burning ash can bond quickly to any surface it drips on including skin. The smoke from polyester is black with a sweet smell. The extinguished ash is hard.

ACRYLICMICRO-SCOPIC STRUCTURE
LONGITUDENAL AND CROSS SECTIONAL STRUCTURE
BY BURN TESTAcrylics burn readily due to the fiber content and the lofty.A match dropped on an acrylic blanket can ignite the fabric which will burn rapidly unless extinguished. The ash is hard.The smell is acrid.
BY SOLUBILITY TESTSOLUBLE Dimethyl IN-SOLUBLEFormic Acid 90%HCl 20%Chlorine Bleach Acetone 100%
NYLONMICRO-SCOPIC STRUCTURE
LONGITUDENAL AND CROSS-SECTIONAL STRUCTURE
BY BURNING TESTIts melts and then burns rapidly if the flame remains on the melted fiber.Plastic burning like odor.After burning it convert round,black bead ashes.

RAYONMICROSCOPIC STRUCTURE
LONGITUDENAL AND CROSS SECTIONAL STRUCTURE
BY BURN TESTIt is a regenerated cellulose fiber which is almost pure cellulose.Rayon burns rapidly and leave only a slight ash.The burning smell is close to burning leaves.
