The length difference and low flexibility of cotton stalk bark fibers make fiber spinning difficult. In this work, cotton stalk bark fibers that were directly from degummed cotton stalk bark were wetted, carded and softened before sliver-marking, and then they were blended with cotton fibers for carding and spinning in various blending ratios. The results showed that a reasonable open roller speed was 6000 rpm for blending ratio 50/50, 7000 rpm for blending ratio 35/65, and 8000 rpm for blending ratio 20/80. The minimum yarn linear density was 60 tex for blending ratio 50/50, 50 tex for blending ratio 35/65, and 40 tex for blending ratio 20/80.
In this study, the weight loss and tensile property of wool fibers and cashmere fibers before and after various potassium permanganate solution treatment were investigated. The scale morphology and crystallization index of the original and treated fibers were analysed with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The experimental results showed that the weight loss of wool fibers is more than that of cashmere fibers under low potassium permanganate content treatment, but is less than that of cashmere fibers under high potassium permanganate content treatment. The force loss of cashmere fibers increased linearly with an increase in potassium permanganate content. The scales of cashmere fiber were damaged at a potassium permanganate content of 9%, but the scales of wool fiber were clear. The relative crystallisation index of treated wool is twice as that of treated cashmere at a potassium permanganate content of 9%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
