Fabric
Fabric is made of fibers. Fibers are made of twisted filaments.
Types of fibers and fabric:
◼ Natural—Sources include: Animal, plant, insect, minerals
◼ Synthetic– Man-made. created from altered natural sources. Chemically produced

Polymers
Synthetic fibers are made of polymers, which are long chains of
repeating chemical units.
The word polymer means many (poly) units (mer).
The repeating units of a polymer are called monomers.
By varying the chemical structure of the monomers or by varying the
way they are joined together, polymers are created that have
different properties.
As a result of these differences, they can be distinguished from one
another forensically.

Filament Cross Sections
Synthetic fibers are forced out of a nozzle when they are hot, and then
they are woven. The holes of the nozzle are not necessarily round;
therefore, the fiber filament may have a unique shape in cross
section.

Testing for Identification
Microscopic observation
Burning—observation of how a fiber burns, the odor, color of flame, color of smoke, and the appearance of the residue
Thermal decomposition—gently heating to break down the fiber to the basic monomers
Chemical tests—solubility and decomposition

Fabric Production
Fabrics are composed of individual threads or yarns that are made of fibers and are knitted, woven, bonded, crocheted, felted, knotted, or laminated. Most are either woven or knitted. The degree of stretch, absorbency, water repellence, softness, and durability are all individual qualities of the different fabrics.

Dyes
Components that make up dyes can
be separated and matched to an
unknown.
There are more than 7,000 different
dye formulations.
Chromatography is used to separate
dyes for comparative analysis.
The way a fabric accepts a particular
dye may also be used to identify
and compare samples.

Collection of Fiber Evidence
Bag clothing items individually in paper bags. Make sure that different
items are not placed on the same surface before being bagged.
Make tape lifts of exposed skin areas and any inanimate objects.
Removed fibers should be folded into a small sheet of paper and stored
in a paper bag.

Fiber Evidence
Fiber evidence in court cases can be
used to connect the suspect to the
victim or to the crime scene. In the
case of Wayne Williams, fibers
weighed heavily on the outcome of
the case. Williams was convicted in
1982 based on carpet fibers that
were found in his home, in his car,
and on several murder victims.
