Improvement of the Thermophysiological Comfort with Modified Polypropylene Fibers
The search and creation of new sophisticated products, with high economic added value added and original functional properties, based on existent technology, has awake a great interest, becoming decisive to increase competitiveness of the t...
New Spinning Technologies: How They Impact the Quality Requirements of Long-Staple Cotton Fibers
In today-s technology, new spinning techniques have been introduced to meet increasing quality and production demands. This paper deals with various constraints on fiber quality imposed by new technologies. Specifically, it deals with fiber...
Effect of Defuzzing methods on extent of preparation and dyeing of cotton fabrics
Three defuzzing methods, viz. singeing, neutral cellulose and acid – cellulose enzymes, have been applied to two woven cotton fabrics, to remove protruding fibres , prior to scouring and half – bleaching . The effects of theses methods on t...
An Enzyme or Polymer-Assisted Shrink-Resist Treatment of Wool
An Enzyme-based process for treatment of wool top to improve its felting resistance is described. This process utilises lipase SP 398 in the pre-treatment step, glutathione reductase (GR) in the reduction step, and papain in the after-treat...
Evaluation of Bast Fibre Retting Systems on Hemp
This paper examines the effect of eight different retting treatments on decorticated hemp skins. These treatments have been applied to other bast fibres such as ramie, flax and kenaf. The decorticated hemp skins were batch retted and opened...
Hand Related Mechanical Behavior of Enzyme Treated Yarns Representing Different Spinning Systems
This work evaluated the change in the low-stress mechanical behavior of 100% cotton and cotton/polyester yarns after the yarns were treated with a cellulase enzyme. The yarns made on four different spinning systems using the same fiber stoc...
An Expert System for Faults Pattern Classification in the Spinning Mill
This work is concerned with the design and implementation of an automatic system for detection and classification of yarn faults. Opto -electronic data processing makes it possible to detect and classify faults and identify their source. Th...
Synthesis, Characterization and Application of Environmentally Friendly Sizes to Cotton Warps
Warp sizing process, although non-productive, is one of the most significant processes in preparing warp yarns to withstand the complex field of stresses experienced by the yarns during weaving. Ideally, the sizing process should be elimina...
New Method for the Objective Evaluation of Fabric Surface Waviness
A new objective evaluation method with which the waviness appearance of fabric surface can be measured objectively and quantitatively has been developed. The absolute coordinates of the fabric surface contour are used to evaluate the fabric...
The Incineration of Wool Scouring Sludge
The chief wastes from the wool scouring industry are wool grease sludges, which arise from partial effluent treatment. In the United Kingdom alone, the wool scouring industry produced some 30,000 tonnes of wet sludge per annum. The exact co...
Effects of Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSSs) on Nylon Fabrics
Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSSs) on polymers have been widely studied in the last decade. There are two main types, namely high-fluence and low-fluence induced structures [1]. When the laser energy is below the ablation th...
Comparison of Conventional Ring and Compact Yarn Properties with Special Reference to Cotton/Acrylic Blends
.In this paper, properties of 50/50 cotton/acrylic blend yarn produced on compact and conventional ring spinning frames were compared. Various acrylic fibres namely relaxed, unrelaxed and microfibres were used in the blends and three differ...
