Abstract
Methods were developed for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of staple fiber blends con taining acetate, dynel, wool, nylon, viscose rayon, cotton, Orlon acrylic fiber, and Dacron poly ester fiber in any combination. The qualitative analysis involves determination of density and microscopic appearance; the quantitative analysis employs selective solvents. The methods presented in this paper are suitable for the analysis of most blends in use at the present time. The nature of the methods presented is such as to permit extension by suitable modification for use in the detection and determination of other fibers also.Keywords
