Abstract
Fragments of cloth and fibers may become evidence in a wide variety of crimes. Whenever personal contact is involved, the exchange of fabrics or fiber may occur between the clothing of the suspect, the victim and or the weapon of offences. Therefore, the current study provides useful methods of fiber analysis which can further utilized by forensic expert dealing with such cases. In present study 6 natural and 6 synthetic fiber samples (cotton fiber, coconut fiber, wool fiber, jute fiber, silk fiber, flax fiber, polyester fiber, glass fiber, nylon fiber, rayon fiber, acetate fiber, acrylic fiber) were taken and analyzed by subjecting them to various examination such as burning test, microscopic examination, physical examination, solubility examination, tensile strength, refractive index and density examination. After analysis, characteristics features of different fibers were noted.
