“…However, the LP fiber has a longer length than the BP fiber. In addition, it exhibited higher fiber friction as shown in Table I, which shows values of fiber friction of the different fibers examined in this study measured independently using the Auburn Beard Friction Test [2]. This method reveals frictional values that strictly reflect the surface behavior of fibers, independent of fiber dimensions.…”

This paper represents the third of a three-part series in which multi-component fiber blending was analyzed using an integrated approach. The essence of this approach is that the phenomenon of fiber blending should be viewed on the basis of four basic modes of blending: structural blending, attributive blending, interactive blending, and appearance blending. In this part of the study, the focus is on interactive blending. A modified rotor ring system is used in which the torque associated with opening and blending of a certain mass of fibers is monitored throughout its complete run. Blends of different cotton fiber types and blends of polyester and cotton fibers are evaluated using a number of analytical methods such as the torque profile during opening and blending, the blend profile of torque parameters, and the progressive change resulting from consecutive opening and blending. The results of this study revealed that when cotton fibers of different types are blended together, fiber length and fiber fineness can influence interactive blending in such a way that a great deal of the initial mechanical work done is consumed in opening and blending the longer and finer component in the blend. Large difference in fiber length and fiber fineness can result in a nonadditive and nonlinear maximum torque associated with blending. When cotton fibers are blended with polyester fibers, surface incompatibility becomes a more serious issue than fiber dimensional characteristics. In this regard, a possible failure of fiber cluster breakdown may occur, leading to nonlinear and nonadditive interactive blending. The results also reveal that the propensity to opening of different fiber types may follow different trends in consecutive processing.In Part I [1] of this study, we introduced different analytical aspects that can collectively reveal the full nature of fiber blending. In Part II of this study [3], we discussed structural and attributive modes of blending using blends of different cotton fiber types and blends of polyester and cotton fibers. In this Part of the study, we shift our attention to interactive blending. This implies the interaction between fibers within a fiber component and between different fiber components during the blending process. Understanding the nature of this interaction can result in selecting appropriate fiber types and fiber attributes for a particular process and in optimizing machine settings for particular blends. In addition, interactive blending is often associated with many technological problems including: rough fiber flow, machine clogging, and breakage of fiber strands. These problems can have a great impact on the consistency and quality of blended end products [6,8,10].Among all modes of fiber blending, interactive blending is the least understood. This is due to its complex nature and the dynamic changes encountered when fibers of different types interact together during processing. In practice, this mode of blending is typically evaluated through experimental trials involving actual...

“…However, higher fiber friction is more desirable at the final stages of yarn manufacturing (fiber spinning and twisting), where higher friction leads to better cohesion of fibers in the yarn structure. El Mogahzy et al, measured the frictional of properties of HVI TM fiber beards as the fiber bundle slips between two parallel metallic plates under controlled normal pressure [71]. They compared frictional properties of Pima and Deltapine cottons and stated that both fiber/metal and fiber/fiber frictional forces are higher for the latter.…”

This review discusses the important concept of cotton fiber friction at both the macro-and nanoscale. First, the technological importance of fiber friction and its role in fiber breakage during fiber processing is discussed. Next, previous studies on frictional properties of cotton fibers are reviewed and different experimental procedures to measure friction between fibers or against another surface are evaluated. Friction models developed to explain friction process during various experimental procedures are considered and their limitations are discussed. Since interpretation of friction processes at the macroscale can be challenging (mainly due to difficulties in analyzing the multiple asperities in contact), a separate section is devoted to surveying studies on the emerging field of single-asperity friction experiments with atomic force microscope (AFM). Special attention is given to studies on nanoscale frictional characteristics of rough viscoelastic surfaces (e.g., plant cuticular biopolymers and cotton fibers). Due to the close relationship between friction and adhesion hysteresis at the nanoscale, adhesion studies with AFM on viscoelastic surfaces are also reviewed. Lastly, recommendations are made for future research in the field of frictional properties of cotton fibers.

“…However, the experimental difficulties involved in its measurement prevent consistent results from being reached and fibre friction has continued to remain merely a concept. There has been a great deal of research (El Moghazy & Broughton, 1993;Gowda, 2001;Howell, 1951;Lincoln, 1952;Lord, 1955;Nachane, Hussain & Lyer, 1998;Viswanathan, 1966) on measuring fibre friction and relating the fibre characteristics with process performance and yarn quality through empirical equations. Most of these fibre-to-yarn relationships take into account the basic fibre characteristics, such as length, fineness and strength.…”

Textile technologists have already recognized the role of fibre friction in various textile processes. Attempts have been made to develop a novel instrument system to quantify fibre friction and relate it with fibre processing, yarn quality and ultimately, the fabric handle. In this context, the current paper presents research work carried out in designing and developing a novel system to measure friction in various textile fibre assemblies. The paper discusses the novel features of the Computer Aided Friction Tester, designed and developed exclusively for characterising friction in fibres, sheets of yarn, fabrics, nonwovens, polymeric films, composites and other technical textiles. It also provides the highlights of frictional characteristics measured in various textile fibre assemblies and the reasons for their occurrences.
