Carbon Fibre | History of Carbon Fibre | Properties of Carbon Fibre | Production Process of Carbon Fibre Carbon Fibre: Carbon fibre shortly CF are fibres that have at least 90% of carbon in their mass. They are produced from carbonization of organic fibres. There are 3 different types of CF: Graphite fibres hold […]
Frictional Properties
Frictional Properties Friction is a vital important factor in the application of fibrous materials to engineering. Frictional property is the surface property of the fibers when two solid surfaces slide against each other. Due to fiber friction, static charge and heat energy is produced. Friction: Friction is the force of two surfaces in contact, or […]
Light Fastness and Factors Influencing Light Fastness Behavior
Light Fastness and Factors Influencing Light Fastness Behavior Textile Dyes and Pigments used in the industry vary to a great extent in terms of their resistance to light sources and this phenomenon is called as ‘Light-fastness of Textiles’. Sunlight materials emits electromagnetic radiations of several wavelengths. Visible range of spectrum (400 – 700 nm) , […]
Thread Numbering System
Thread Numbering System Sewing Thread: Sewing thread is an essential element of garments. Sewing threads are special kinds of multi-layer yarn that are engineered and designed to pass through a sewing machine rapidly. It can be made out of many different materials including cotton, linen, nylon, and silk etc. According to Oxford Dictionary, “A thread […]
Textile Testing : Pilling Test of Fabric
Pilling Test of Fabric | Pilling Phenomena Pilling: Pilling is formation of little balls of fibers (pills) on the surface of a fabric which is caused by abrasion in wear. Pilling is the tendency of fibers to come loose from a fabric surface and form balled particles of fiber. Causes of Pilling: Due to wear and […]
