Changes in Fibre Curvature during the Processing of Wool and Alpaca Fibres and Their Blends

چکیده
This paper studied the wool and alpaca fibre curvature and its variation during the fibre processing. It revealed the effect of wool fibre crimp on the cohesion properties of alpaca and wool blended slivers. Different wool and alpaca tops were blended via a number of gillings, and the role of wool fibre curvature in alpaca/wool blend processing has also been investigated. During the wool fibre processing, fibre curvature tended to diminish gradually from scoured fibre to top. Blending wool with alpaca fibres improved the cohesion properties of the blended sliver, compared with pure alpaca slivers. For a high ratio of alpaca component in the blend, a high-crimp wool should be used to achieve good sliver cohesion.

A Comparative Study of the Abrasion Fatigue and Resistance to Compression Properties of Wool and Alpaca Fibres
This study reports the latest research into alpaca and wool fibres. In particular, those properties that have received little attention in research literature have been examined. They include single fibre abrasion and bending fatigue, single fibre tensile properties, as well as resistance to compression behaviour. These properties are important because they affect the softness and pilling prope...
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 کاملEffect of Fibre Blend Ratios on Yarn Properties
Yarn properties can be altered through blending fibres. According to the requirement different properties can be achieved by different blending ratios. Among the different blends cotton and polyester, cotton and wool, wool and acrylic, cotton and nylon, jute and acrylic, cotton and rayon etc are common. Flax and polyester has been a popular blend now-adays and depicts excellent properties than ...
متن کاملFollicle characteristics, seasonal changes in fibre cross-sectional area and ellipticity in Australasian specialty carpet wool sheep, Romneys and Merinos.
Data was collected on secondary:primary follicle ratio, relative follicle density, and seasonal changes in fibre cross-sectional area and fibre ellipticity (ratio of major-to-minor fibre cross-sectional axis) in the Australasian specialty carpet wool breeds (Carpetmaster, Drysdale, Elliottdale, Tukidale), Romneys and Merinos. Merinos had a higher secondary:primary follicle ratio (p<0.001), rela...
متن کاملBiological durability and oxidative potential of man-made vitreous fibres as compared to crocidolite asbestos fibres.
In this study we investigated relationships between redox properties and biodurability of crocidolite asbestos fibres and three different man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF): traditional stone wool fibres (MMVF 21), glass fibres (MMVF 11) and refractory ceramic fibres (RCF). Each fibre type was incubated up to 22 weeks in four different incubation media: gamble solution (GS) pH 5.0 and pH 7.4, repr...
