Regressional Estimation of Ring Cotton Yarn Properties from HVI Fiber Properties
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract The main aim of the present study was to predict the most important yarn quality characteristics derived from cotton fiber properties that were measured by means of an HVI system. With this aim 15 different cotton blends were selected from different spinning mills in Turkey. The ...
Morphological Characterization of Individual Fiber of Agave americana L.
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract The fine structure of Agave americana L. fiber was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The individual fibers have a helical structure whose axis can be considered as parallel to the main axis of the bundles of ultimate fibers. Individual fibers are extracted from ...
Structures and Properties of Wet Spun Thermo-Regulated Polyacrylonitrile-Vinylidene Chloride Fibers
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract Thermo-regulated polyacrylonitrile-vinylidene chloride (PAN/VDC) fibers containing 4-40 wt.% of micro phase-change materials (microPCMs) were wet-spun. In this study, fibers containing less than 30 wt.% of microencapsulated n-octadecane were spun smoothly. The structures and properties ...
Effects of Moisture Absorption of Clothing on Pitching Speed of Amateur Baseball Players in Hot Environmental Conditions
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the hygroscopic properties of clothing material on pitching speed and some physiological responses in amateur baseball players. The experiments were performed on four male players of a regular high school baseball team and ...
Compact Spinning Effect on Cotton Yarn Quality: Interactions with Fiber Characteristics
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract Compact or condensed spinning technology is widely considered as the new benchmark for staple yarn quality. The enhanced structure of compact yarn typically results in a lower hairiness and improved mechanical properties. The present study examines these two key benefits of compact ...
Preparation of Temperature-Sensitive Polyurethanes for Smart Textiles
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract A series of segmented polyurethane (PU) were prepared using five different polyols and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) as mixing soft segment, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, hydrophilic segment poly (ethylene glycol) 200 (PEG 200) and chain extender 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) as ...
Bioscouring of Cotton Fiber with Polygalacturonase Induced in Sclerotium rolfsii using Cellulose and Glucose-pectin
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract Textile industrial scouring processes are currently based on the use of chemical reagents that cause an important environmental impact. For some years, several research groups have focused on obtaining enzymes that can carry out the scouring task in an effective way, allowing at the ...
Multivariate Studies of Mechanical Properties for Wool and Cotton Fabrics
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract In this study, the mechanical properties of fifty-eight light-weight wool/wool-blend fabrics and twenty medium to heavy-weight cotton denim fabrics were analyzed by multi-dimensional techniques of principal component analysis. The technique reduced the dataset of wool/wool-blend fabrics ...
Fiber Length Distribution in Cotton Processing: Dominant Features and Interaction Effects
May 01, 2006; ... Abstract This study investigated the unique shape of cotton fiber length distribution and explored its main features. One prominent feature revealed by the examination of a multitude of distributions measured on a wide range of cotton samples was the modality of the distribution pattern. Based ...
