ABRADED YARN- A filament yarn in which filaments have been cut or broken to create hairiness (fibrillation) to simulate the surface character of spun yarns. Abraded yarns are usually plied or twisted with other yarns before use. ABRASION MARK- An area where a fabric has been damaged by friction. ABRASION RESISTANCE- The ability of a fiber or fabric to withstand surface wear and rubbing. ABSORBANCE- The ability of a substance to transform radiant energy into a different form, usually with a resulting rise in temperature. Mathematically, absorbance is the negative logarithm to the base 10 of transmittance. ABSORBENCY- The ability of one material to take up another material. ABSORPTION- The process of gases or liquids being taken up into the pores of a fiber, yarn, or fabric. ACETIC ACID- An organic acid (CH3COOH) widely used in textile applications. It is used in textile wet processing, dyeing and printing, and in the manufacture of cellulose acetate and cellulose triacetate. ACETIC ANHYDRIDE- Anhydrous acetic acid [(CH3CO)2O]. It is used in the acetylation process in the manufacture of cellulose acetate. ACETONE- Dimethyl ketone (CH3COCH3). One of the most powerful organic solvents. Acetone dissolves secondary cellulose acetate and other derivatives of cellulose. It is miscible with water and has a low boiling point (55-56°). ACID-DYEABLE VARIANTS- Polymers modified chemically to make them receptive to acid dyes.

  • Great Britain's Cotton Textile Industry, 1900-1913
    The Myth of the CorporateEconomy: Great Britain's Cotton Textile Industry, 1900-1913 Timothy Leunig1 DepartmentofEconomics, Nuffeld College UniversityofOxy½rd It is never difficult to defend an interest in the Lancashire cotton industry,for it has a uniqueplace in the historyof England'sindusthai revolution.Rostow gives it the ultimateaccolade: "the original leading sector in the first take-off," and to Crafts and Harley, "the really big issue [in determiningthe rate of growthduring the industrial revolution] is undoubtedly the weightingof cottonrather than the correctdistribution of value added weightsamong the other sectors"[Rostow, 1990, p. 53; Craftsand Harley, 1992, p. 706]. Cotton overtook wool to become Britain's single most importantsource of incomeby 1810,and retained this position until the end of the nineteenthcentury. At its 1913peak, the industryemployed over half a millionpeople and consumed over 2.1 billionpounds of raw cotton[Robson, 1957,pp. 331, 333; Deaneand Cole, 1969,p. 163;Sandberg, 1981, p. 114; Mitchelland Deane, 1962, p. 186-8]. The industry'sexport performance was more remarkable still. It became the nation'sbiggest exporter during the NapoleonicWars, a positionit wasto retainfor 125 years;in 1830 it even exceededall other exportscombined [Deaneand Cole, 1969, p. 31].In 1880over 80% of theworld's cotton exports camefrom Britain,and mill ownersboasted that theymet the needsof the home marketbefore breakfast and devotedthe rest of the day to exports [Robson,1957, p. 4; Aspin,1981, p. 3]. At its peakin 1913,Britain exported over7 billionyards of cloth,approximately equivalent to a shirtand pair of trousersfor everyman, woman, and child in theworld [Sandberg, 1974, p. 4].
