a Sample LD 183v. Several long fibres, some relatively intact. Morphological damage characteristics: split, pearls on a string and a few butterfly structures and smaller fragments. Damaged fibres = 71%; Ts = 49.6 °C. b Sample LD 1v. Few long relative intact fibres. Morphological damage characteristics: split, fraying, pearls on a string and butterfly structures and several small fragments. Damaged fibres = 72%; Ts = 53.9 °C. c Short very deformed fibre fragments. Morphological damage characteristics: split, fraying, flat, and pearls on a string structures and a few very small fragments. Damaged fibres = 79%; Ts = 58.6 °C. d Sample GD 382v. Short fragments partly dissolved in water at room temperature. Morphological damage characteristics: a few very small fragments of fibre like structure. Damaged fibres = 100%
