ABSTRACT
Characterization, spinning, and fabric preparation of fibers obtained from Tellicherry bark (TB) has been presented. Fibers from the Tellicherry bark (Holarrhena antidysenterica) seed pods were collected and physico-chemical properties analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Thermal Gravimetric Analysis, and X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy. The fibers were blended with cotton in two different ratios (80/20 and 65/35 Cotton/TB) to form yarn and then converted into knitted fabrics. Properties of the blended yarns and knitted fabrics thus possess good strength (11.9–13.6 kg/cm2), comfort (0.069–0.77 W/cm2), and other mechanical properties, suitable for garments. Results reveal that TB fibers can be successfully used for making garments after blending with cotton.
摘要
本文介绍了从Tellicherry树皮(TB)中获得的纤维的特性、纺丝和织物制备. 收集了Tellichery树皮(Holarrhena antidysenterica)种子荚中的纤维,并通过傅里叶变换红外光谱、扫描电子显微镜、热重分析和X射线衍射光谱对其理化性质进行了分析. 这些纤维以两种不同的比例(80/20和65/35棉/TB)与棉混纺,形成纱线,然后转换成针织物. 因此,混纺纱线和针织物的性能具有良好的强度(11.9-13.6千克/平方厘米)、舒适性(0.069-0.77瓦/平方厘米)和其他机械性能,适用于服装. 结果表明,TB纤维与棉混纺后,可以成功地用于制作服装.
