This video shows us the secrets in the making of the most precious of all natural fibers: silk. You will want to own the tape based on this unique segment alone.
A leap across time takes us to the discovery of microfibers, derived from petroleum and plastic and used to create synthetic fabrics. Features a strong coverage of how fibers and fabrics affect skin comfort, and the role of manufactured fiber technology and testing in addressing this issue.
Finally, we see one of the most recent techniques: the grafting of fibers to create fabrics that are sterile, non-rotting, fireproof, and antifungal.
