Sample Tamil Nadu HSE Second Year Textile Technology Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Tamil Nadu HSE Second Year Textile Technology exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In textile fibre science, a staple fibre is best defined as a fibre that:
A.Cannot be spun into yarn under any condition
B.Has a finite length measured in millimetres or inches
C.Must always be a fully synthetic polymer
D.Has indefinite continuous length as extruded filament
Explanation: Staple fibres have finite length (for example cotton or cut man-made staple). Continuous filaments are essentially indefinite in length until cut. Spinning systems process staples into yarn by drafting and twisting.
2Cotton is classified primarily as which type of textile fibre?
A.Fully synthetic polyamide fibre
B.Natural cellulosic fibre
C.Mineral fibre
D.Natural protein fibre
Explanation: Cotton is a seed hair whose principal polymer is cellulose, so it is grouped with natural cellulosic fibres (with bast fibres such as flax and jute).
3The microscopic longitudinal appearance of mature cotton fibre typically shows:
A.Smooth cylindrical rods with no twists
B.Triangular cross-section only, with no twists
C.Scaly cuticle plates like wool
D.Ribbon-like convolutions (natural twists)
Explanation: Mature cotton fibres are flattened and ribbon-like with characteristic convolutions (twists) along the length, which aid cohesion in yarn.
4Wool fibre’s moisture regain is relatively high mainly because of its:
A.Protein structure with polar side groups that attract water
B.Total absence of amorphous regions
C.Metallic mineral composition
D.Completely non-polar hydrocarbon backbone only
Explanation: Wool is keratin protein with polar amino-acid side groups and amorphous regions that bind water, giving high moisture regain compared with many synthetics.
5Silk filament from the Bombyx mori cocoon is primarily composed of:
A.Polyester polymer
B.Inorganic silicate glass
C.Fibroin protein (with sericin gum)
D.Cellulose
Explanation: Cultivated silk consists mainly of fibroin (the filament protein) coated with sericin gum that is removed in degumming.
6Which property is most directly expressed by fibre fineness in textile technology?
A.Colour of the dyed fabric only
B.Melting point of the polymer only
C.Mass per unit length or diameter of the fibre
D.Number of warp beams on a loom
Explanation: Fineness describes how thick or thin a fibre is, often as linear density (tex, denier, micronaire) or diameter—critical for spinning limit, yarn evenness, and fabric hand.
7Viscose rayon is best classified as a:
A.Regenerated cellulosic man-made fibre
B.Natural protein fibre
C.Fully synthetic polyolefin fibre
D.Mineral glass fibre
Explanation: Viscose is produced by regenerating cellulose from wood pulp or other cellulose sources through the xanthate process, making it a regenerated cellulosic man-made fibre.
8Polyester (PET) fibres are most commonly dyed with which dye class under conventional aqueous processing?
A.Direct dyes without carrier or heat
B.Reactive dyes that form covalent bonds with polyester
C.Disperse dyes (often at high temperature or with carrier)
D.Vat dyes that reduce onto polyester at room temperature only
Explanation: Polyester is hydrophobic and lacks ionic dye sites; disperse dyes dissolve into the fibre at high temperature (HT/HP) or with carriers, which is standard industry practice.
9Nylon is chemically classified as a:
A.Polyamide fibre
B.Inorganic ceramic fibre
C.Cellulose acetate only
D.Natural bast fibre
Explanation: Nylon polymers contain repeating amide (–CONH–) linkages and are therefore polyamide fibres (e.g. nylon 6, nylon 6,6).
10Fibre maturity in cotton primarily refers to:
A.The denier of a continuous filament yarn
B.The number of ends on a warping creel
C.The colour shade after reactive dyeing only
D.The degree of secondary wall cellulose deposition in the fibre
Explanation: Cotton maturity describes how fully the secondary wall has developed with cellulose. Immature fibres dye poorly, nepp, and weaken yarn quality.
