o   Fibers are the smallest measures of textile materials, and are naturally composed from plants and animals, or are manufactured. The type of a fiber, its commonness and rarity, as well as the way it is made into fiber, helps identify how useful a specific fiber will be in uncovering people involved in a crime. For example, cotton, which is one of the most common plant fibers, would be less beneficial than another less common plant fiber such as flax, jute, hemp, or kapok (enotes and google.com). In some cases, however, fibers can increase in significance due to certain characteristics they have. For instance, depending on its type, length, degree of twist, or processing technique, cotton could increase in importance. Similarly, a common animal fiber, wool, would be more difficult to identify than other animal fibers like camel, alpaca, cashmere, or mohair. Still, various characteristics such as the coarseness of the fiber, the diameter, and the degree of scale protrusion could contradict that conclusion. The third fiber type, manufactured, is the most common found fiber in textiles. They can originate either from natural materials or be entirely synthetic made. The most common kinds of manufacture fibers are polyester and nylon, but rayons, acetates, and acrylics are also encountered. Besides the kind of fiber, the amount of production, the end use, the cross-sectional shape, microscopic characteristics, and other traits could affect its importance. Other variables of fiber identification include the color, number of fibers found, fiber location, fabric types, nature of contact, multiple fiber association, volume of fiber production and fiber transfer and persistence (google.com).
