Abstract
Samples of water-logged needle-punched mats of hollow and solid polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) fibres and their blends are centrifuged and the amount of water retained was measured to evaluate the relative water retention in hollow and solid fibres. Different weight fractions of hollow fibres, nominally 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%, were used and the effects of weight fraction of hollow fibres on the water retentions were determined. Theoretical analysis is presented to show that the ratio of water retention in hollow fibre to that of solid cylindrical fibres with equal linear density is proportional to , and for equal outside radius, it is proportional to , where k is the ratio of inside radius to outside radius of tubular fibres. With the increase of hollow fibres-weight fractions in the blends, water retention values increase according to the simple rule of mixtures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of The Textile Institute welcomes papers concerning research and innovation, reflecting the professional interests of the Textile Institute in science, engineering, economics, management and design related to the textile industry and the use of fibres in consumer and engineering applications. Papers may encompass anything in the range of textile activities, from fibre production through textile processes and machines, to the design, marketing and use of products. Papers may also report fundamental theoretical or experimental investigations, including materials science topics in nanotechnology and smart materials, practical or commercial industrial studies and may relate to technical, economic, aesthetic, social or historical aspects of textiles and the textile industry.
All published research articles in The Journal of The Textile Institute have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two expert referees.
