In this work we studied the microfibers of a textile (T-shirt) of the Chimú culture. This culture developed on the northern coast of Peru. To determine the raw material and structural quality of the microfibers, the results of the Chimú textile were compared with the corresponding results for the microfibers of cotton from the northern coast of Peru (native cotton). Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the Chimú textile yarns are composed of a set of interwoven microfibers. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and pulsed laser-induced plasma spectroscopy techniques allowed the identification of characteristic cellulose atoms in the microfibers of Chimú textile and native cotton. Only for the Chimú textile, these spectroscopic techniques allowed the identification of atoms corresponding to natural dyes and powder residues. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy identified the same molecular bonds for the microfibers of Chimú textile and native cotton. For the microfibers of Chimú textile and native cotton, the X-ray diffractograms showed peaks characteristic of the cellulose Iβ polymorphism of of monoclinic P21 structure. The raw material of the Chimú textile is cotton and the microfibers of this material show significant structural stability.
En este trabajo se estudiaron las microfibras de un textil (camiseta) de la cultura Chimú. Esta cultura se desarrolló en la costa norte del Perú. Para determinar la materia prima y calidad estructural de las microfibras, los resultados del textil Chimú fueron comparados con los correspondientes para las microfibras del algodón de la costa norte del Perú (algodón nativo). Las imágenes de microscopia electrónica de barrido revelaron que los hilos del textil Chimú están compuestos por un conjunto de microfibras entrelazadas. Las técnicas de espectroscopia de rayos X por energía dispersiva y de plasmas inducidos por láser permitieron identificar átomos característicos de la celulosa en las microfibras del textil Chimú y del algodón nativo. Únicamente para el textil Chimú, estas técnicas espectroscópicas permitieron identificar átomos que corresponderían a tintes naturales y a residuos de polvo. La espectroscopia de infrarrojo con transformada de Fourier por reflexión total permitió identificar los mismos enlaces moleculares para las microfibras del textil Chimú y del algodón nativo. Para las microfibras del textil Chimú y del algodón nativo, los difractogramas de rayos X mostraron picos característicos del polimorfismo de la celulosa Iβ, de estructura monoclínica P21. La materia prima del textil Chimú es el algodón y las microfibras del mismo presentan una significativa estabilidad estructural.
