polymeric yarns for reinforcing cement composites have got great interest in all over the world. in this research the performance of bonding between nylon tire cord grad yarns, and one kind of cement composite called fine grained concrete was studied. two kinds of nylon cord yarns, nylon 6 and 66, with different finesse were selected. the durability of yarns with time in alkaline media was inve...

the nylon and nylon/lycra yarns were coated with electrically conductive polymers such as polyaniline and polypyrrole, via chemical polymerization process. electrical conductivity of the coated yarns was measured at variousstrain levels using two-point probe technique and their strain sensitivities were studied. the results showed that, electrical conductivity of the coated yarns decreased with...

The effect of twi st on the performance of polyethylene naphthal ate, dimensionally stable polyester and high-tenacity polyester cord yarns has been studied. h is observed that the twi st has a very important effect on the tensile properties, creep properties and fracture mechani sm. An increase in the twi st leve l increases breaking elongation and creep rate but decreases break ing strength. ...

Physical, mechanical and antimicrobial properties of nylon 6 (polycaprolactam) doped with different amounts of silver nanoparticles were investigated in this study. Two series of filament yarns counts (20 and 70 Denier) were produced by melt spinning method with different amounts of silver nanoparticles contents (0, 0.5, 1 and 4 wt%). Elemental analysis of silver and titanium dioxide (present i...

Some exploratory work on creep and inverse creep in nylon 6 monofilament, polyester multifilament yarn and wool and cotton spun yarns has been presented. It is observed that the extent of creep and inverse creep differs from material to material and depends on the initial stress. Cotton shows minimum inverse creep while nylon shows maximum inverse creep. Wool and polyester have intermediate inv...

A common problem in production of core–spun yarns on the Ring spinning frame is the slippage of the staple fibers as sheath fibers relative to the core. This effect is known as ‘strip-back’ or barberpole. This problem may lead to an incomplete core coverage and results in end–breaks in subsequent processing. In order to avoid this problem, in the present work, core spun yarns (acrylic sheath fi...
