Measurements on stretched fibres have shown that the stretching process is complex. There is evidence to indicate that equal cross-sectional areas do not necessarily behave similarly. During stretching, a large amount of redistribution and removal of natural twist takes place. It is shown that thinner sections twist more than thicker sections and that it is easier to twist the fibre against the direction of natural twist.","PeriodicalId":17650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Textile Institute Transactions","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87637786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that the bending modulus of a thermoplastic monofilament decreased with increasing temperature by an amount dependent on the temperature and the thermodynamic properties and history of the material and decreased with increasing humidity, provided that the material was hydrophilic, by an amount that was again dependent on the temperature. It is shown that the effect of chants in temperature and humidity on the behaviour of fibres can be predicted from the observations on coarse monofilaments and that these changes are important in the assessment of handle.","PeriodicalId":17650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Textile Institute Transactions","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78296408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There was, however, a tendency for the tearing strength and abrasion-resistance of fabrics made from the fellniongered wools to be lower and for the colour to deteriorate, and, though the fabrics dyed very evenly, colour intensity after dyeing was different. This suggests that careful fibre-mixing is necessary in blends of skin and shorn wools. Fellmongered-wool fabrics were appreciably more yellow than shom-wool fabrics, but, after irradiation with imitation sunlight, differences between fabrics were very much less. Skin-digested wools could be processed satisfactorily, but the yams and fabrics showed appreciable loss of strength, extensibility, and colour compared with the shorn wools. Top yield was also less.","PeriodicalId":17650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Textile Institute Transactions","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91105289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The parameters α and n are, however, shown to be interdependent, correlations as high as −0·991 and −0·962 being obtained for cottons and regenerated cellulosic fibres, respectively. An explanation is sought for this phenomenon in the fine structure of the fibre, which influences the surface characteristics through changes in visco-elastic properties. Supporting evidence is adduced from the results of experiments on mercerized cottons, which behave in a similar manner to rayons and polynosic rayons, all of which are known to reveal cellulose II structures by X-ray methods. A simple physical approach on considerations of surface area shows that fibre characteristics, namely, length, fineness, and maturity, have a decreasing influence on the frictional behaviour as the ap...","PeriodicalId":17650,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Textile Institute Transactions","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1966-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77014075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
