Abstract	Introduction Natural and synthetic fi bers are used in many products including fabric, insulation, and composite materials. Often, the mechanical properties of the fi bers dictate the performance and longevity of the products in which they are used. Generally, it is not suffi cient to assume that a fi ber will have the same strength as a larger specimen of the same material. This is especially true for metals, because strength depends directly on grain size, and grain size depends on geometric constraints. So for its size, a thin metal wire will generally be stronger than a large specimen of the same material, because the wire has smaller grains. Some polymers also manifest size-dependent strengthening mechanisms [1]. Therefore, the ability to measure the mechanical properties of fi bers is essential for their successful incorporation into products. This article describes experimental method and results for three prototypical fi bers: a basalt glass fi ber, a fi ne tungsten wire, and polypropylene.
