Optimum Drafting Conditions of Non-circular Polyester and Cotton Blend Yarns
Jun 01, 2006; ... Abstract In this study, experiments were conducted to examine the drafting behavior of non-circular fiber (cross-shaped profiled polyester) to obtain the optimum drafting conditions for spinning polyester/cotton (P/C) blended yarn. The drafting force in the break draft zone was measured and the ...
Sorption Properties of Flax Fibers Depending on Pretreatment Processes and their Environmental Impact
Jun 01, 2006; ... Abstract The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of different pre-treatment processes, on the sorption properties of flax fibers and the impact of residual treatment baths on environmental pollution. Flax fibers were subjected to different scouring processes (alkaline, ...
Effects of some Process Parameters on the Structure and Properties of Vortex Spun Yarn
Jun 01, 2006; ... Abstract The effects of a number of process parameters, including the nozzle angle, nozzle pressure, spindle diameter, yarn delivery speed, and distance between the front roller and the spindle, on the structure and properties of vortex spun yarns were investigated. A modified version of the ...
Standardizing a Pre-treatment Cleaning Procedure and Effects of Application on Apparel Fabrics
Jun 01, 2006; ... Abstract The objective of this work was to develop a pre-treatment (cleaning) procedure for a wide range of apparel fabrics and to determine whether differences observed in the properties of fabrics which had and had not been pre-treated were significant. Properties relevant to the manufacture ...
Color Variation on Spun-dyed Polyester Filaments during Processing
Jun 01, 2006; ... Abstract In this study, the color variation of spun-dyed polyester filaments was systematically investigated using various processing technology parameters including linear density, velocity of cross-flow air, different processing ways and different textured technology parameters. The results ...
A Dehydration Method for Immature or Wet Cotton Fibers for Light and Electron Microscopy2
Jun 01, 2006; ... Abstract A rapid dehydration procedure with acidified 2,2-dimethoxypropane (DMP) has been successfully applied to immature or wet cotton fibers. The ultrastructural integrity and fiber quality parameters such as cell wall area and perimeter of developing and mature cotton fibers were ...
Inner Distribution and Deposition of Crosslinked Cotton Fabrics Using a Steeped Process
Jun 01, 2006; ... Abstract The steeped procedure was used to investigate the physical properties and crosslinking structure. It was found that the values of the N content, dry crease recovery angle (DCRA), and wet crease recovery angle (WCRA) of the treated fabrics with any specific steeped procedure were higher ...
