  • Fabric-Evoked Prickle of Fabrics Made from Single Fibres Using Axial Fibre-Compression-Bending Analyzer
    Indian Journal of Fibre & Textile Research Vol. 41, December 2016, pp. 385-393 Fabric-evoked prickle of fabrics made from single fibres using axial fibre-compression-bending analyzer Rabie Ahmed Mohammed Asad1, 2, Weidong Yu1, 3, a, Yong-hong Zheng4 & Yong He4 1Key Laboratory of Textile Science & Technology, Donghua University, Shanghai 201 620, P R China 2Department of Textile Engineering and Technology, Faculty of Textiles, University of Gezira, Wad-Medani, P O Box 20, Sudan 3TextileMaterials and Technology Laboratory, Donghua University, Shanghai 201 620, P R China 4Chongqing Fibre Inspection Bureau, Beibu New District, Chongqing, China Received 12 June 2014; revised received and accepted 18 December 2014 Fabrics made from cotton, cashmere, flax, hemp, ramie, jute, and wool fibres, have been used to investigate and analyze the prickle comfort properties of fabrics worn as garments. Physical properties include single-fibre critical load, compression and bending modules, which greatly affect the fabric physiological comfort. The fibres are tested using a ‘fibre axial compression-bending analyzer’. The behavior mechanisms of single-needle fibre are also analyzed, evaluated, and explained using fibres critical load, fineness, and protruding length. Physical and neuro-physiological basis for prickle sensation force from single-needle fibre depends on its bending modulus and axial compressive behavior. This experimental work shows that the bending modulus of ramie, jute, and wool fibre is significantly high as compared to other fibres. Thus, high prickle values of ramie, jute and wool fibres make them more uncomfortable due to the cross-section parameters and bending modulus of the single fibre needle. It is observed that the prickle feeling comes from the axial-compressive behavior and the number of effective fibre needles protruding from worn fabric surface.

Ariful Islam Production Officer (Yarn Dyeing) Mega Yarn Dyeing Mills Ltd Bulbul Ahmed Executive Officer (Yarn Dyeing) Hamid Fabrics Ltd Jalal Ibn Amin Mojumdar Executive Officer (Woven Dyeing) Hamid Fabrics Ltd Doi: 10.19044/esj.2017.v13n30p314 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2017.v13n30p314 Abstract Once upon a time, Jute was called the golden fibre of Bangladesh. Due to some problems and growth of modern technology, the market share of jute has decreased. In this paper, the effect of Woolenization of jute fibre was described. It also shows how the physical and chemical properties of jute have been changed by alkali-treatment as well as its structure. It was demonstrated that this kind of treatment leads to several changes in its structure which has turned to a near wool structure. These works are done by different concentrations of different alkalis. Finally, 15% NaOH treatment of jute show maximum woolenized properties where we obtain softened and swollen jute. Conclusively, we have made some other products from woolenized jute fibres such that if introduced into our world market, it can increase the market share of jute fibre. Keywords: Jute, Woolenization, Alkali-treatment, NaOH Introduction Jute is a golden fibre in our country. Recently, its demand has reduced and it cannot be utilized properly in the world. Hence, the golden fibre has deteriorated into zero fibre.

  • Surface Modification of Bast-Based Natural Fibers Through Environment Friendly Methods Tayyaba Fatma
    Chapter Surface Modification of Bast-Based Natural Fibers through Environment Friendly Methods Tayyaba Fatma Abstract Nowadays, natural products are extremely preferred among the people. These natural products are produced by environment friendly sources. In case of textiles, bast fibers play significant role in producing natural products that are extracted from the stem of various plant and environment friendly in nature. The bast fibers can also improve the livelihood of the poor farmers who are involved in the cultiva- tion of the plants and extraction and processing of the fibers. Therefore, surface modification of established natural fibers (such as hemp, flax, jute, kenaf, urena, nettle, and ramie) and explored natural fibers are momentous area for doing research. And, these modifications can be done through environment friendly methods such as plasma treatment, and utilization of enzymes, bacteria, and fungi. Keywords: natural fibers, surface modification, environment friendly methods, physical and mechanical properties of fibers 1. Introduction At global level, 58% of synthetic fibers is used in clothing in which 77% polyes- ter, 9% nylon, 6% acrylic, and 7% cellulosic fibers take place. Hence, the utilization of synthetic fibers is higher as compared to natural fibers. The synthetic fibers are generally made from polymers that have been synthetically produced from chemi- cal compounds, which create lot of air, land, and water pollutions. These synthetic fibers are more harmful for health of the human being as well as environment because these cannot easily degrade after its use. To overcome health-related problems and also for environmental safety, people are gradually attracted toward more and more use of natural products in both devel- oped and developing countries.

  • Retting Process of Some Bast Plant Fibres and Its Effect on Fibre Quality: a Review
    PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE bioresources.com RETTING PROCESS OF SOME BAST PLANT FIBRES AND ITS EFFECT ON FIBRE QUALITY: A REVIEW Paridah Md. Tahir,a Amel B. Ahmed,a Syeed O. A. SaifulAzry,a and Zakiah Ahmed b Retting is the main challenge faced during the processing of bast plants for the production of long fibre. The traditional methods for separating the long bast fibres are by dew and water retting. Both methods require 14 to 28 days to degrade the pectic materials, hemicellulose, and lignin. Even though the fibres produced from water retting can be of high quality, the long duration and polluted water have made this method less attractive. A number of other alternative methods such as mechanical decortication, chemical, heat, and enzymatic treatments have been reported for this purpose with mixed findings. This paper reviews different types of retting processes used for bast plants such as hemp, jute, flax, and kenaf, with an emphasis on kenaf. Amongst the bast fibre crops, kenaf apparently has some advantages such as lower cost of production, higher fibre yields, and greater flexibility as an agricultural resource, over the other bast fibres. The fibres produced from kenaf using chemical retting processes are much cleaner but low in tensile strength. Enzymatic retting has apparent advantages over other retting processes by having significantly shorter retting time and acceptable quality fibres, but it is quite expensive.
