With the continuous advancement of textile production technology, more and more new fibers have become the raw materials of textiles, which has brought about the development of fibers for textiles. The problem of identification. Commonly used fiber identification methods include microscopic observation, combustion, reagent color development, dyeing, dissolution, etc. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

Make longitudinal slices and cross-sectional slices of fibers, observe the longitudinal and transverse morphology of the fibers under a microscope, and identify the fibers based on differences in morphological characteristics, see Table 1. <\/p>\n
