Abstract

Methods are presented for the determination of (a) the interfiber volume of fibers in bulk form when immersed under pressure in water, and (b) the volume of water which can be absorbed by systems of initially dry fibers at various pressures. Data are given for acetate, Acrilan, cotton, Dacron⁴, glass, Fortisan, nylon, Orlon⁴, ramie, silk, Vicara, vicuna, and viscose rayon.'
