Activated Peroxide for Enzymatic Control of Wool Shrinkage Part I: Elucidation1,2
Feb 01, 2006; ... Abstract The ARS process combines activated peroxide for pretreatment and enzyme for subsequent treatment to provide bleached, biopolished, and shrinkage-resistant wool. The pretreatment step is of particular interest because it combines dicyandiamide (DD) with alkaline peroxide to form ...
Activated Peroxide for Enzymatic Control of Wool Shrinkage Part II: Wool and Other Fiber-type Fabrics
Feb 01, 2006; ... Abstract In Part I we investigated the mechanism for bleaching wool with activated peroxide in the pretreatment step of the chemoenzymatic ARS process for whitening, biopolishing, and shrinkage prevention of wool. Here in Part II we report on applying the process to wool woven and knit fabrics ...
The Mechanism of the Air-Jet Texturing: The Role of Wetting, Spin Finish and Friction in Forming and Fixing Loops
Feb 01, 2006; ... Abstract A comprehensive review of the roles played by the airflow, wetting and spin finish on the air-jet texturing process is given. The results of an experimental investigation of the air-jet texturing process using residual spin finish, yarn-to-yarn static and kinetic friction, filament ...
Enzyme Treatment of Wool and Specialty Hair Fibers
Feb 01, 2006; ... Abstract Enzyme treatment is one of the most prospective eco-friendly processes, for treating wool. Although, extensive research has been conducted on the effectiveness of enzymes as antifelting agents for wool, the use of enzymes as scouring agents for wool, versus conventional soap-scouring ...
The Influence of Thread Twist on Alterations in Fibers' Mechanical Properties
Feb 01, 2006; ... Abstract In order to design high-quality threads, it is necessary to know the properties of threads and fibers, as well as the loadings and deformations which may occur during the sewing process. Thread properties depend on the mechanical properties of the fiber and the constructional parameters ...
