A study of properties of yarn and fabrics made from microfibres

Abstract

Today every industry is concerned with the cutting edge technology newlinefor improving its performanceAlthough microfibres are used by the textile newlineindustry for the production of niche products there is complete absence of newlinework on the characteristics of yarns produced by different spinning newlinetechnologies and the precautions to be taken during processing of these fibresThis thesis deals with the mechanical processing of various types of newlinemicrofibres in semi high production and high production cards for newlineoptimization of process parameters Micro modal lyocell polyester and its newlineblends with cotton were processed in cards and studied for their performance newlinein terms of fibre breakage neps short fibre content sliver cohesion and newlineorientation index Spinning of micromodal and lyocell fibres was done on newlineconventional ring and compact spinning systems for the study of tensile newlineproperties hairiness evenness friction abrasion wicking and handle newlineproperties such as bending and compression at three twist levels newline newline
