Effect of Structure on Vertical and Horizontal Wicking Performance Concerning Jute (Chorchorus Olitorius) and Water

ABSTRACT

Vertical and horizontal wickings were studied for jute, a lingo-cellulosic natural fiber, as fiber, yarn, woven fabric, and nonwoven. The effect of yarn parameters (linear density, twist density, and tension), fabric type (plain woven, twill woven, and nonwoven) and nonwoven parameters (parallel laid, cross laid, areal density, punch density, and depth of needle penetration) were observed and analyzed using a fabricated setup for wicking testing. Wetting of jute with water was studied by measuring contact angle using Sissili-drop method. The rate of wicking shows two distinct parts: instantaneous and time dependant. The horizontal wicking is always higher than the vertical wicking. The weft shows better wicking than warp yarn followed by two-ply yarn. Yarn twist level and linear density play a significant role. Twill fabric shows better wicking than plain-woven fabric. Wicking effect of needle-punched nonwoven shows lower than woven fabric. It is negatively correlated with areal density and positively correlated with punch density. It will help to design a textile from jute, where wicking plays a significant role.

摘要

研究了黄麻纤维、纱线、机织物和非织造布的垂直和水平芯吸. 使用制造的芯吸测试装置, 观察和分析了纱线参数 (线密度、捻度密度和张力)、织物类型 (平纹织物、斜纹织物和非织造布)、非织造布参数(平行铺设、交叉铺设、面密度、冲头密度和针穿透深度)的影响. 采用Sissili滴法测定黄麻与水的接触角, 研究黄麻与水的润湿性. 芯吸速率表现为两个不同的部分, 瞬时和时间依赖性. 水平芯吸始终高于垂直芯吸. 纬纱的芯吸性能优于经纱, 其次是双层纱. 纱线捻度水平和线密度起着重要作用. 斜纹织物比普通机织物具有更好的芯吸性能. 针刺非织造布的芯吸效果低于机织物. 它与面积密度呈负相关, 与冲孔密度呈正相关. 这将有助于设计一种黄麻织物, 在黄麻织物中, 芯吸起着重要作用.
