Properties of important fibres
In this Class 11 Home Science topic from “Fabrics Around Us,” students explore the key properties of important natural and manufactured fibres. They learn how fibre structure affects strength, durability, elasticity, absorbency, lustre, warmth, comfort, and resistance to heat or chemicals. The topic also helps students compare fibres such as cotton, wool, silk, linen, rayon, nylon, and polyester, and apply their properties when choosing fabrics, clothing, and suitable care methods.
