What is Effects of Acids on Fibre Strength about?

This document describes experiments to test the effect of acids and bases on the tensile strength of different fiber types. It finds that: (i) Animal fibers like wool are weakened by bases as peptide bonds are hydrolyzed, while plant fibers like cotton are weakened by acids due to ether linkages. (ii) The tensile strength of wool decreased when soaked in alkali but not acid, while cotton decreased in acid but not alkali. (iii) Synthetic fibers like nylon remained unaffected by both acids and bases.
