Dimensionally changes due to absorbing water or moisture by any fiber is known as swelling. When fiber absorbs water they change dimensionally. Swelling occurs in transversely (width wise) and axially (Lengthwise). It may be expressed in terms of the increase in diameter, area, length or volume.
Birefringence | Fiber Birefringence
The difference between the refractive index indices of the fiber in a direction at parallel to the fiber axis and in a direction at right angles to the fiber axis is called birefringence of that fiber. Birefringence is responsible for the phenomenon of double reflection.
