Physico-mechanical Properties of Naturally Dyed Jute-banana Hybrid Fabrics

ABSTRACT

Ligno-cellulosic natural fiber like Banana can be acclimated to manufacture hybrid or union fabric with mostly used jute fiber which can get colossal popularity as a wearable product because of the health and hygiene issues. Banana fibers, extracted from the sheath, can be utilized for manufacturing fiber, can diminish the pressure on the jute fiber. It will be very frugal, and ineluctably it will be a great opportunity to blend it with the other natural fiber. In this study, a Jute-Banana hybrid fabric (JBHF) was developed by using Jute yarn (12 Ne, in warp) and Banana yarn (18 Ne, in weft). In order to evaluate physico- mechanical properties of naturally dyed Jute-Banana hybrid fabric, different tests like Stiffness, Thickness, Tensile strength, Tear strength, Drape and Crease recovery were conducted which provided satisfactory results. Colorfastness to wash, water, rubbing and perspiration of naturally dyed Jute-Banana hybrid fabrics (JBHF) also provided acceptable outcomes. FTIR test also provided the confirmation of this two fibers and Spectrophotometer was used to illustrate the dyeing quality. It was an endeavor to minimize the dependency on a single quality fiber and find an alternative way to prepare the hybrid fabric by blending two different quality natural fibers.

摘要

像香蕉这样的木质纤维素天然纤维可以适应,利用主要使用的黄麻纤维制造混合或联合织物。由于健康和卫生问题,黄麻纤维作为一种可穿戴产品非常受欢迎. 香蕉纤维,从鞘中提取,可用于制造纤维,可减少对黄麻纤维的压力. 这将是非常节俭的,不可避免地,这将是一个很好的机会,将它与其他天然纤维混合. 本研究以黄麻纱(经向12ne)和香蕉纱(纬向18ne)为原料,开发了黄麻-香蕉混纺织物(JBHF). 为了评价天然染色黄麻-香蕉混纺织物的物理力学性能,进行了刚度、厚度、拉伸强度、撕裂强度、悬垂性和折皱回复性等试验,取得了满意的结果. 天然染色黄麻-香蕉混合织物(JBHF)的耐洗、耐水、耐摩擦和耐汗渍色牢度也提供了可接受的结果. FTIR测试也证实了这两种纤维,并使用分光光度计来说明染色质量. 这是一项努力,以尽量减少对单一质量纤维的依赖,并找到一种替代方法,通过混合两种不同质量的天然纤维来制备混合织物.

Highlights

Banana fibre has been culled as it is a natural fibre. Ligno-cellulosic natural fibre like banana can be acclimated to manufacture union or blended fabric with mostly used jute fiber which can get immensely colossal popularity as wearable product because of the health and hygiene issues. This was an endeavor to minimize the dependency on the single fiber & find an alternative way to prepare union fabric by blending two different quality natural fibers.

Banana fibres, extracted from the sheath which can be utilized for manufacturing fiber, can diminish the pressure on the jute fibre and the availability of banana fibre is quite copacetic and it will be very frugal and ineluctably it will be a great opportunity to blend it with the other costly natural fibre like jute.

When banana fibers were treated with different chemicals like alkali and peroxide, during the removable of bark and other impurities, considerable weight loss was observed. The fineness of representative raw banana fibers was determined by using USTER HVI 1000. Spinnable properties like length, strength, fineness, tenacity, color, and elongation at break etc. were found for yarn manufacturing and a suitable method was found to manufacture yarn.

Natural ingredients like hena leaves & turmeric were used. Extraction of dye was done first from natural ingredients. Different tests(such as Stiffness, Thickness, Tensile Strength, Tearing Strength, Drape, Crease recovery and Colorfastness Tests) were carried out after the preparation of jute-banana union fabric & its dyeing was done with fully natural ingredients. FTIR test also provided the confirmation of these used two fibres & spectrophotometer was used to illustrate the dyeing quality.

If banana fibre can be acclimated to manufacture yarn and fabric so that sizably voluminous quantity of natural fibre can be amassed from nature which can be blended with jute fibre. It was an endeavor to minimize the fineness of banana fibre keeping copacetic spinnable properties which is a great achievement. It will truncate pressure on the cultivation and availability of jute fibre withal.
