This course aims to introduce the principles of Textile Fibers, and
their classification, in each, natural, regenerated and synthetic fibers, it
also introduces the most important terms of Textile Science, and the general
textile properties. Such as length, elongation and elastic recovery, tensile
strength, moisture content and absorbency, then study an example for each type
of fibers. Finally, students will study the different types of industrial spinning, and recognize the
obtained fibers by each type
Laboratory projects
Student will be asked to submit regular
homework about fibre properties, and learn how to open the fibers and threads,
then prepare them as slides in the microscope, after that, student will attend
practical exam in the end of the semester, the practical exam is about the
physical tests to identify of fiber classification
Intended learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be
familiar with the different type of textile fiber's, and will be able to
distinguish between the natural and man-made fiber
Teaching and learning methods
Regular theoretical lectures and practical lectures in the lab, which
include preparing the slides of fibres and yarns, and identify them. Methods
also include practise on physic test, that makes students able to distinguish
between the different textile fibres
Methods of assessments
The course is assessed by two med-term
exams with value of 15% for each, and 30% for both, as well as 10% for the
commitment to attend at least 75% of the overall lectures, and submit regular
home-works and 10% for practical exam, and 50% for the final exam
