Abstract
A torsion balance arrangement housed in a specially designed chamber was used to study the effect of atmospheric humidity on the normal adhesion of single polyester, nylon, cotton, and glass fibers, which were contacted at right angles. Marked increase in fiber-to-fiber attraction detected at humidities in excess of 60% is attributed to capillary condensation from the vapor phase. Experimental results are interpreted in light of what is known about capillary condensation in small pores and the adsorption of moisture onto fiber surfaces.
