Purpose Like all other natural fibers, the physical properties of cotton also vary owing to changes in the related genetic and environmental factors, which ultimately affect both the mechanics involved in yarn spinning and the quality of the yarn produced. However, information is lacking about the degree of influence that those properties impart on the spinnability of cotton fiber and the strength of the final yarn. This paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes the application of discriminant analysis as a multivariate regression tool to develop the causal relationships between six cotton fiber properties, i.e. fiber strength (FS), fiber fineness (FF), upper half mean length (UHML), uniformity index (UI), reflectance degree and yellowness and spinning consistency index (SCI) and yarn strength (YS) along with the determination of the respective contributive roles of those fiber properties on the considered dependent variables. Findings Based on the developed discriminant function, it can be revealed that FS, UI, FF and reflectance degree are responsible for higher YS. On the other hand, with increasing values of UHML and fiber yellowness, YS would tend to decrease. Similarly, SCI would increase with higher values of FS, UHML, UI and reflectance degree, and its value would decrease with increasing FF and yellowness. Originality/value The discriminant functions can effectively envisage the contributive role of each of the considered cotton fiber properties on SCI and YS. The discriminant analysis can also be adopted as an efficient tool for investigating the effects of various physical properties of other natural fibers on the corresponding yarn characteristics.

Seven sources of cotton representing a wide range of fiber properties were roller ginned, saw ginned, or saw ginned plus processed through tandem saw lint cleaners or through an aggressive carding-type cleaner (Cottonmaster1). Lint cleaner induced changes in fiber length and nep count were compared to fiber property measurements from roller ginned samples. Fiber length deterioration from saw ginning was negatively correlated with fiber strength. Fiber breakage in lint cleaning was positively correlated with fiber fineness. Resistance to fiber length damage in ginning was explained best by fiber strength and fineness, or an estimate of individual fiber strength. Initial and final nep level were related to fineness, nonlint content, and upper quartile length, but an increase in neps due to lint cleaning had no significant relationship to fiber properties.

Abstract RUBBER articles may be divided roughly into three classes: (1) pure gum, (2) hard rubber, and (3) various combinations of rubber and textile fibers. This latter class is the largest and possibly the most important of the group, and includes besides tires the bulk of mechanical goods, such as hose, belting and sheet goods of various kinds. Probably no combination of useful materials affords a wider range of possibilities than the various combinations of rubber and textile fibers. In rubber-textile combinations the cotton fiber is ordinarily used to impart tensile strength and to decrease the stretchiness of the product, while the attempt is made to retain at the same time as much resiliency as possible. Most of these combinations are of laminated construction, consisting of alternate layers of rubber compound and woven fabric, the physical properties being controlled by the construction of the fabric and the composition and cure of the rubber compound. Since cotton is usually more expensive on a volume basis than rubber, it is desirable to obtain the maximum tensile properties of the cotton fiber and to restrict its use as much as possible. That this is a difficult matter may be recalled when we compare the actual bursting strength of various mechanical goods with the so-called theoretical or calculated strength based on the additive strengths of the plied up fabrics in the fabricated article; it is at once apparent that only a small proportion of the fiber strength is effectively employed.

There has been great interest in assessing yarn tenacity directly from available cotton fiber property data acquired by various means, including high-volume instrumentation (HVI). The HVI test is a primary and routine measurement providing fiber properties to cotton researchers. Knowledge about yarn tenacity within a cotton cultivar or between cultivars could be useful with regard to understanding the selection of cotton cultivars. This study examined the effect of cotton growth location, crop year, and cultivar on three relationships (fiber strength versus fiber micronaire, yarn tenacity versus fiber micronaire, and fiber strength versus yarn tenacity), and found great variations in the Pearson correlation and the gradients of respective regression lines. Instead of developing linear regression models from HVI fiber properties to predict yarn tenacity, this study applied a simple ratio method (i.e. normalized fiber strength or yarn tenacity against five HVI fiber properties) to relate fiber strength with yarn tenacity. The short fiber index was found to have a greater effect on the correlation between modified yarn tenacity and modified fiber strength than micronaire, yellowness, upper-half mean length, or uniformity index. This result implied the feasibility of utilizing HVI fiber short fiber index and strength data, as a semiquantitative and fast approach, to compare yarn tenacity performance within a cotton cultivar or between cultivars.

Purpose Due to several unique characteristics, such as high tensile strength, low extensibility, high frictional resistance, biodegradability, eco-friendliness and cheapness, Jute ranks second just after cotton with respect to its worldwide consumption and production. To overcome the difficulties of the existing Jute grading procedure, this paper aims to focus on the application of decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) methods for evaluation of 10 Tossa Jute fiber lots based on strength, defects, root content, color, fineness and bulk density properties. Design/methodology/approach The DEMATEL method divides all the six physical properties of Jute fiber into cause and effect groups. The most influencing property is also identified. On the other hand, the considered Jute fiber lots are ranked using MABAC method along with the identification of the strengths and weaknesses of each of them. Findings This combined approach would provide a more scientific and realistic way of Jute grading and evaluation based on various properties of the considered Jute fiber lots. The positions of the superior and the inferior Jute lots perfectly match with those as identified by the earlier researchers. Originality/value It is concluded that the adopted combined decision-making tool can be effectively applied for grading and evaluation of other natural fibers with diverse heterogeneous physical properties.

Micronaire is a key cotton fiber quality assessment property, and changes in fiber micronaire can impact fiber processing and dyeing consistency. Micronaire is a function of two fiber components—maturity and fineness. Historically, micronaire is measured in a laboratory under tightly controlled environmental conditions. There is increased interest by the cotton and textile industry to measure key fiber properties both in the laboratory and in-field (non-controlled conditions), using small portable near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy instruments. A program was implemented to determine the feasibility of using portable NIR instruments to monitor fiber micronaire, maturity, and fineness. Prior to outside the laboratory measurements (field, warehouse, etc.), laboratory feasibility was performed to assess the NIR instruments’ capabilities. Comparative evaluations for fiber micronaire, maturity, and fineness were performed on three portable NIR instruments. Instrumental, sampling, and operational procedures and protocols for each instrument were established. Although representing different measurement technologies, very good spectral agreement was observed between the portable NIR instruments and a bench-top NIR unit used as a comparison. Rapid (less than 3 minutes per sample), easy to use, and accurate measurements of fiber micronaire and maturity were achieved, with regressions ( R values) greater than 0.85, low residuals, and a low number of outliers observed for each NIR instrument. Improvements are required for the accurate measurement of fiber fineness by portable NIR instruments. Thus, for well-defined cotton fiber samples, the universal nature of the NIR measurement of cotton fiber micronaire and maturity by portable NIR instruments was validated.
