Clues
- Ability of a fibre to return to its original length after it has been stretched (7, 8)
- Ability of a fibre to withstand the effects of rubbing or friction- a major factor in the durability of a fibre (8, 10)
- ability to withstand colour changes on exposure to light (5, 8)
- can absorb moisture without feeling wet, e.g. animal hairs (11, 6)
- can absorb moisture= comfortable (11, 6)
- Do no absorb moisture readily (11, 6)
- most synthetics are thermoplastic, they soften or melt when exposed to heat. Cellulosic/protein may scorch or burn when exposed to high heat (13)
- will ignite if placed in an open flame but will not continue to burn after the flame has been removed (5, 9)
- will not burn but can melt and decompose at a high temperature (3, 11)
- will stop burning when flame is removed (4, 13)
