The document discusses swelling in fibers. It defines swelling as the dimensional changes that occur when a fiber absorbs water or moisture. There are different types of swelling, including transverse diameter swelling, transverse area swelling, axial swelling, and volume swelling. The importance of swelling is that it improves dye absorption and chemical absorption capabilities, affects dimensional stability, can be used to make water-resistant fabrics by blocking pores, and improves dye fastness on materials.

What is Swelling When a fibre absorbs water, they change in dimension(length, width). The dimensionally changes that takes place due absorbing of water or moisture by any fibre is called ‘swelling’. It may occure length- wise or width-wise. Different types of Swelling Transverse diameter swelling Transverse area swelling Axial swelling Volume swelling Importance of Swelling
o Improve the absorption capability of dyes in addition to chemicals.
o It has technical consequences inwards the dimensional stability of the fabric, the predominant transverse swelling measurement. o Due to swelling the pores of interlaced construction volition live blocked, this sentiment is used to produced shower proof fabric. o Improve fastness of dyed materials.
