Structural Configurations

We have studied air-jet texturing of spun yarns with different structural configurations. After texturing, the yarns have improved bulk and reduced modulus and flexural rigidity, rendering them more suitable for improved comfort applications. Increased bulk after texturing is accompanied by reduced strength. We have observed that after air-jet texturing, certain structures such as carded ring spun yarns and Siro spun yarns possess a higher level of bulk compared to other structures. Rotor spun yarns have lower bulk after texturing because of their tripartite structure, twist angle variations, and the alternating Z and S helices in their fiber belts. Yarns with reinforced structures like composite spun, wrap spun, and rotor spun are able to withstand higher overfeed and air pressure during texturing.

Twill Weave

Air jet weaving is considered to be the most advanced method of fabric production in which weft yarn is inserted with air pressure. But due to very high pressure some of yarn twist is lost during fabric production. This affects the strength of the yarn in general and quality of the fabric in particular. This study deals with the parameters affecting twist loss in weft yarn during air jet weaving. The subsequent effect of twist loss on the mechanical properties of yarn as well as fabric is also studied. A total of twenty-four different fabric samples were produced to consider the effect of yarn linear density, material, weave design and fabric width on the twist loss in picking and receiving sides of the woven fabric. The 100% cotton and polyester-cotton (PC) ring spun yarns having linear densities 37, 27 and 15 tex were used to produce fabrics in two different weaves i.e. 1/1 plain and 3/1 twill weave. In addition, two different fabric widths i.e. 121 and 100 cm were produced. The twist loss increases with increase in the fineness of yarn. In PC yarns twist loss percentage was higher as compared to cotton yarns. Twist loss in wider width was higher as compared to smaller widths of the fabric, while the effect of weave design was negligible.

And Migration

We have studied the importance of yarn structural variants such as fiber packing density, fiber fineness and length distribution, mean fiber extent, and migration parameters in deciding the bulking potential of a spun yarn structure with air-jet texturing. Three variants of carded yarns, combed yarns, and yarns made from combed sliver which is again carded in both 100% spun and composite spun forms with three different twist levels show that fiber-to-fiber distance and frictional hindrance may have a significant influence on the relative local velocities of the fibers in the turbulent air stream, which would affect the texturing behavior. We have observed that spun yarns with uniform fiber length distribution, higher fiber extent, and more fiber parallelization, such as combed yarns, have less bulk during texturing. Yarns with higher packing and migration have higher frictional hindrance with less fiber-to-fiber distance. They are therefore subjected to reduced flow asymmetry and produce yarns with reduced bulk.

A computer simulation approach for engineering air-jet spun yarns is proposed, and the advantages of computer simulations over experimental investigations and stand-alone mathematical models are discussed. Interactions of the following factors in air-jet spun yarns are analyzed using computer simulations: yarn count and fiber fineness, fiber tenacity and fiber friction, fiber length and fiber friction, and number of wrapper fibers and wrap angle. Based on the results of these simulations, yarn engineering approaches to optimize strength are suggested.

Carbon, aramid and glass fibers are inherently superior to conventional textile fibers in terms of mechanical properties and other characteristics. However, each material has its inherent advantages and disadvantages and it is usually recommended to hybridize them to fully benefit of their high performance in practical applications to many products. This paper is concerned with an air texturing process for hybridization of different reinforcement filament yarns. A normal air texturing machine was selected for process development and modified to suit testing purposes. The modified process for hybridization was introduced mainly in terms of air-jet nozzles employed in experiments. With the proposed air texturing process machine, three types of air-nozzle were applied to the experimental work. Three different filament materials were employed in experiments and they are carbon (CF), aramid (AF), and glass (GF). As matrix materials, polyether-ether (PEEK), polyester (PES), and polypropylene (PP) were selected and experimented. Hybrid yarns produced form the proposed process was evaluated optically in terms of bulkiness, arranging, breaking, and mixing, respectively. The experimental results were also summarized in terms of relationships between applied air pressure and yarn count, and variation in count. As a whole, it was concluded from the experiments that the proposed texturing process could be successfully applied to the practical hybridization of different reinforcement filament yarns. It was also revealed from the experiments that the air pressure in the proposed process is not a significant parameter on the pressing in terms of yarn count.

To clarify the formation mechanism of a source of yarn and to discuss the effects of supplied air pressure and exhaust air pressure on the fiber suction force and twist torque at the starting time of the spinning process in an air-jet spinning machine, we simulated, numerically, the three-dimensional airflow pattern without fibers in the spinning zone. Results obtained are as follows: High-speed air jetted through the starting nozzles into the yarn duct in the circumferential direction causes a swirl flow in the yarn duct and a negative pressure region near the center axis of the yarn duct. Hence, air and fibers at the fiber inlet are sucked through the processing duct into the yarn duct. A fiber bundle sucked into the yarn duct rotates, owing to the action of the swirl airflow, and twists the fiber bundle in the processing duct, hence generating a source of yarn. The fiber suction force takes a distribution with a peak against the supplied air pressure and is independent of the exhaust air pressure. The fiber twist torque increases monotonously with supplied air pressure.

Abstract Owing to growing demand for comfortable clothes, elastane filament yarns are being used in fabrics for several garments. In this study, core spun yarns were produced with cotton fibres and PBT/elastane filament yarns (cotton as sheath material, PBT yarn and elastane as core yarns). Twill woven (1/3 Z) fabrics were produced by using core spun yarns (30 tex) and cotton yarns (30 tex) as weft, and 100% cotton yarn (59 tex) as warp yarns. The fabrics consisting of PBT were washed at 100°C for 30 minutes to gain the elasticity. The woven fabrics’ weight, thickness, elongation, permanent elongation, dimensional stability, air permeability, thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity characteristics were tested and statistically evaluated. According to the results, the fabrics containing PBT and elastane filaments had similar elongation and shrinkage values. PBT filament yarns have a great potential to produce lightweight elastic fabrics.

This article reports on the analysis of the fiber overlap and fiber extent in ring, rotor, and air-jet spun polyester/viscose blended yarns. The fiber overlap and fiber extent was measured by employing the tracer fiber technique. Statistical analysis was carried out at the 95% significance level with the single tail test to trace out specific trends executed by the spun yarns with any change in their blend proportions. The fiber overlap index and spinning-in-coefficient is correlated with tensile characteristics (static and dynamic) of the spun yarns to explore the most influential structural parameter among them for different applications. This presents study indicates that the prediction of spun yarn performance in post spinning processes is more appropriately modeled based on fiber overlap index over spinning-in-coefficient for ring and air-jet spun yarns, whereas spinning-in-coefficient is more appropriate for rotor spun yarns. For apparel use, spinning-in-coefficient is more appropriate over fiber overlap index for rotor and air-jet yarns to model the spun yarn strength as opposed to fiber overlap index for ring spun yarns.
