Abstract. The hardness of the rubber cot is one of the most important factors that influences the properties of spun cotton yarn. Four different 100% coarse count cotton yarns (Ne 10/1, Ne 12/1, Ne 14/1, and Ne 16/1) were spun with various front roller rubber cot hardness from 65°, 68°, 70°, 75°, and 83°shore hardness with constant back cot roller shore hardness. Cotton yarn properties were investigated, including mass uniformity, imperfection level, unevenness, hairiness, tensile strength, and elongation. The results showed that as the shore hardness increased, the unevenness of mass and imperfection index of the yarns proportionally increased. It does not apparently influence the yarns' hairiness, tensile strength, or elongation properties.
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.
