During the recent years, there have been significant developments in methods and philosophies of fibre testing. While it is possible to measure the most of the properties of fibres, there are no standard test techniques for assessing the surface properties of fibres. This research aimed at establishing a technique, which can be routinely used to determine the frictional characteristics of textile fibres. The intention was to assess the frictional characteristics from measurements carried out on fibre 'bundles' rather than individual fibres since this should lead to information that is more meaningful in the prediction of processing performance and quality. The technique adapted is based on a sensitive compression test. Developing a technique for assessing the stick-slip characteristics of fibres can be used by cotton suppliers and spinners to provide data that can be used to optimise bale selection and to indicate fibres that may present processing difficulties. This will result in possible improvements in yarn and fabric quality at relatively low cost of fibre testing. |
