  • Choosing the Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web
    Choosing The Proper Short Cut Fiber for Your Nonwoven Web ABSTRACT You have decided that your web needs a synthetic fiber. There are three important factors that have to be considered: generic type, diameter, and length. In order to make the right choice, it is important to know the chemical and physical characteristics of the numerous man-made fibers, and to understand what is meant by terms such as denier and denier per filament (dpf). PROPERTIES Denier Denier is a property that varies depending on the fiber type. It is defined as the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of fiber. The current standard of denier is 0.05 grams per 450 meters. Yarn is usually made up of numerous filaments. The denier of the yarn divided by its number of filaments is the denier per filament (dpf). Thus, denier per filament is a method of expressing the diameter of a fiber. Obviously, the smaller the denier per filament, the more filaments there are in the yarn. If a fairly closed, tight web is desired, then lower dpf fibers (1.5 or 3.0) are preferred. On the other hand, if high porosity is desired in the web, a larger dpf fiber - perhaps 6.0 or 12.0 - should be chosen. Here are the formulas for converting denier into microns, mils, or decitex: Diameter in microns = 11.89 x (denier / density in grams per milliliter)½ Diameter in mils = diameter in microns x .03937 Decitex = denier x 1.1 The following chart may be helpful. Our stock fibers are listed along with their density and the diameter in denier, micron, mils, and decitex for each: Diameter Generic Type

In the recent past, many researchers have highlighted the development of in-house filaments for fused filament fabrication (FFF), which can extend the corresponding field of application. Due to the limited mechanical properties and deficient functionality of printed polymer parts, there is a need to develop printable polymer composites that exhibit high performance. This study analyses the actual mechanical characteristics of parts fabricated with a low-cost printer from a carbon fibre-reinforced nylon filament. The results show that the obtained values differ considerably from the values presented in the datasheets of various filament suppliers. Moreover, the hardness and tensile strength are influenced by the building direction, the infill percentage, and the thermal stresses, whereas the resilience is affected only by the building direction. Furthermore, the relationship between the mechanical properties and the filling factor is not linear.

  • Colour and Textile Chemistry—A Lucky Career Choice
    COLOUR AND TEXTILE CHEMISTRY—A LUCKY CAREER CHOICE By David M. Lewis, The University of Leeds, AATCC 2008 Olney Award Winner Introduction In presenting this Olney lecture, I am conscious that it should cover not only scientific detail, but also illustrate, from a personal perspective, the excitement and opportunities offered through a scientific career in the fields of colour and textile chemistry. The author began this career in 1959 by enrolling at Leeds University, Department of Colour Chemistry and Dyeing; the BSc course was followed by research, leading to a PhD in 1966. The subject of the thesis was "the reaction of ω-chloroacetyl-amino dyes with wool"; this study was responsible for instilling a great enthusiasm for reactive dye chemistry, wool dyeing mechanisms, and wool protein chemistry. It was a natural progression to work as a wool research scientist at the International Wool Secretariat (IWS) and at the Australian Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) on such projects as wool coloration at room temperature, polymers for wool shrink-proofing, transfer printing of wool, dyeing wool with disperse dyes, and moth-proofing. Moving into academia in 1987 led to wider horizons bringing many new research challenges. Some examples include dyeing cellulosic fibres with specially synthesised reactive dyes or reactive systems with the objective of achieving much higher dye-fibre covalent bonding efficiencies than those produced using currently available systems; neutral dyeing of cellulosic fibres with reactive dyes; new formaldehyde-free crosslinking agents to produce easy-care cotton fabrics; application of leuco vat dyes to polyester and nylon substrates; cosmetic chemistry, especially in terms of hair dyeing and bleaching; security printing; 3-D printing from ink-jet systems; and durable flame proofing cotton with formaldehyde-free systems.

    Volume 8, Issue 4, Spring2014 Handle and Comfort Characteristics of Cotton Core Spun Lycra and Polyester/ Lycra Fabrics for Application as Blouse Nirmala Varghese and G. Thilagavathi Department of Apparel & Fashion Technology PSG College of Technology Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT Stretchable plain woven fabrics are developed with 60s cotton core spun Lycra and polyester Lycra twisted yarn (91D) in weft with cotton, silk and polyester in warp. The influence of fabric specifications on thermal comfort, low stress mechanical properties, primary and total hand value is analyzed. The results indicated that cotton core spun Lycra woven with polyester warp provided higher value of thermal conductivity, air permeability and water vapor permeability. The woven stretch fabrics produced with polyester warp, cotton core spun Lycra and polyester Lycra in weft has excellent aesthetic and drape properties. These fabrics have higher tensile resilience, tensile strain, lower shear rigidity, superior primary hand and a higher total hand value of 4.08 and 3.93 respectively and are best suitable for women’s blouse. Keywords: Cotton core spun Lycra, polyester/Lycra, woven stretch, fabric handle, sari blouse Introduction Lycra and polyester/lycra twisted yarn. Several studies have been carried out Stretch is often the most important investigating the physical properties of core property of textiles that contribute to wearer spun yarn, cotton/lycra and properties of the comfort.
