چکیده
227 The scientists at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA reported the production and characteristics of natural cellulose fibres obtained from the leaves and stems of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum Linn.). The composition, structure and properties of fibres obtained from the leaves and stem of switchgrass have been evaluated in comparison to the common natural cellulose fibres, such as cotton, linen and kenaf. The leaves and stems of switchgrass have tensile properties intriguingly similar to that of linen and cotton, respectively. Fibres were obtained

Comfort and Handle Behaviour of Linen-blended Fabrics
Few can dispute the tremendous values of linen, which is one of nature’s greatest treasures. Linen is a longer-staple category, and as such the fibre is spun on a long-fibre spinning system. Due to the coarseness and stiffness of the fibre, linen fabrics are subjected to a strong bleaching action to reduce the stiffness of the fabric. Linen is also blended with other compatible natural and manm...
متن کاملEffects of Polycarboxylic acids on Untreated Cotton and Solubilised Sulphur Dyed Cotton
A number of polycarboxylic acids butane tetracarboxylic acid BTCA, polyacrylic-co-maleic acid PAMA, citric acid, maleic-itaconic MA-IA were examined, in combination with sodium hypophosphite SHP in order to give a similar high fabric crease recovery performance and whiteness index to traditional formaldehyde based crease agents. BTCA showed to be the best crease resist agent for crosslinking co...
متن کاملInvestigation into the Dyeing of Soybean Fibres with Natural Dyes and their antimicrobial properties
The dyeing behaviour of annually renewable soybean protein fibres with Madder, Weld and Walnut seed husk, natural dyes, were investigated and their possible antimicrobial effects were evaluated. The results obtained from the dyeing of the Madder on the soybean fabric were compared with those on a wool fabric. It was shown that the amount of the amino acid content of the fibre has a great effect...
متن کاملUsing Artificial Neural Network Algorithm to Predict Tensile Properties of Cotton-Covered Nylon Core Yarns
Artificial Neural Networks are information processing systems. Over the past several years, these algorithms have received much attention for their applications in pattern completing, pattern matching and classification and also for their use as a tool in various areas of problem solving. In this work, an Artificial Neural Network model is presented for predicting the tensile properties of co...
متن کاملAlkaline Surface Modification of Banana Stem Fibres
One of the important issues in producing composite materials with natural fibres is the modification of the surface of the fibres to enhance adhesion and interfacial bonding with polymer matrix. In this report, the effect of alkalization on the mechanical properties, thermal stability and surface morphology of banana stem fibres is examined. The results show that treatment with sodium hydroxide...
