Abstract:The paper is reporting an extensive experimental investigation to optimize the processing of microfibers on a flat top card. Carding parameters, type of fiber finish and their interactions were studied in terms of their impact on web quality. The web quality was determined by assessing the nep content and fiber breakage due to carding. Statistical analyses of the data indicate that fiber finish and processing parameters can be selected to minimize neps and fiber breakage during carding. Furthermore the investi… Show more
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.
