This document provides an overview of the properties and uses of different textile fibres. It discusses the fineness, length, density, thermal properties, absorption of water, tensile properties, elastic recovery, rheology, directional effects, thermomechanical responses, static electricity, optical properties, friction, and theories of mechanical properties for various natural and manufactured fibres. The document also introduces the classification, structure, and manufacturing processes of cotton, wool, silk, bast fibres, and polymers used to make fibres like polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, acrylic, polypropylene, and rayon.
