    Solubility of Fibres

    Uploaded by

    The document summarizes the behavior of various fibers when exposed to different acids and solvents. It shows whether the fibers dissolve, disintegrate, or remain unchanged when placed in the acids/solvents at room temperature or their boiling points. Most cellulose and synthetic fibers dissolve in concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids at boiling point but are unchanged or dissolve slowly in room temperature acids.
