A study of lateral crushing of fibres and its effects on the yarn and fabric characteristics

Abstract

Compression of fibres yarns and fabrics has been studied by a newlinenumber of research workers in the past both from theoretical point of view newlineand experimental work and very useful information has been provided newlineLateral compression of fibres was investigated and the results were utilized in newlineunderstanding the carpet wear and fibre breakage in rotor spinning newlinePretreatments given to yarns and fabrics in various situations have newlineled to significant improvement in the quality of yarns Instances where pretreatments newlineare given are abound in scientific literature They serve as a newlinecatalyst and also formed the basis of cutting edge technology newline newline
