Abstract

Small-angle light scattering (SALS) patterns and scanning electron photomicrographs of single fibers were recorded for 15 different types of acrylic fibers. SALS was seen to be a sensitive tool for discriminating among the fiber types and for characterizing fiber cross-sectional shapes, surface topography, opacity, and various forms of random bicomponent fibers.
