ABSTRACT
Jute, a lignocellulosic bast fibre, is mainly utilized for making packaging materials. Whereas, banana fibres are extracted from the sheath of the banana trunk which is underutilized and used for making ropes for domestic purposes. Jute and banana fibres, both grey as well as bleached, have been blended in different proportions like 75:25, 50:50, and 25:75 to produce 8lb yarn. The tenacity of jute/banana blended yarn produced from bleached fibres is much higher than that produced from grey fibres irrespective of blend ratio. Union fabrics have been produced using cotton yarns as warp and jute/banana blended yarn as weft.
摘要
黄麻是一种木质纤维素纤维,主要用于制造包装材料。然而,香蕉纤维是从香蕉树干的鞘中提取出来的,它被充分利用,用于家庭生产绳索。黄麻和香蕉纤维,既灰色又漂白,已按不同比例混纺,如75∶25、50∶50和25∶75,以生产8LB纱。漂白纤维生产的黄麻/香蕉混纺纱的韧度远远高于灰纤维所产生的强度,而不论共混比如何。以棉纱为经纱,黄麻/香蕉混纺纱为纬纱,生产出并条织物。
