The Effectiveness of Different Fabric Materials in Preventing the Passage of Micro-particles?

CSEF · 2004 Materials Science (Junior Division Only)

Aaron M. Mendoza · Sanger Academy Charter School, Sanger

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective of my project is to determine which fabric material (cotton,wool,polyester,and rayon) will best withstand against harmful micro particles such as anthrax. Methods/Materials In my project I used several matrials such as cotton,wool,rayon,and polyester. I also used black construction paper,labels,flour(micro-particles),2 ring stands,fabric loop,plexi tube,funnel,clamps,plastic cup,measuring spoon,ruler,and a calculator. I used four different materials. Each material material was tested twenty to insurebetter quality in the results. I then measured the diameter of the pattern which passed through the material. Results After my testing I found that wool held the best against the passage of micro particles, while polyester was the least effective in peventing the passage of micro particles. Conclusions/Discussion My results supported my hypothesis because I hypothesized that wool would hold the best against the micro particles. I beleive my experiment will give knowledge to those who want to be secure against harmful micro-prticles that carry diseases such as anthrax.

Summary statement

My project focuses on seeing out of four fabric materials which will end up withstanding the most against micro particles.
