“…Each factor was run at three levels so that the experiment was a 3 3 factorial design with two replicates as per the Box Behnken design of experiment. 14 The samples were prepared after randomisation according to a random number table and the sequence of sample production comprised the process variables given at serial numbers 2,4,9,11,6,5,15,14,1,12,7,8,3,10,13. The reasons for randomisation were an effective statistical analysis and the validity of the inference drawn.…”

This paper discusses the compression creep behaviour of jute-polypropylene blended needle-punched nonwoven. It is essential to know the compression creep behaviour of the needle-punched fabrics too, because of their various applications like geotextiles and carpets. Needle-punched fabric samples were prepared based on the three factors, three levels Box Behnken design of experiment to study the individual as well as interaction effects of process parameters of fabric weight, needling density and blend proportion of jute and polypropylene fibre blend on fabric thickness and compression creep. This study reveals that the initial thickness of fabric decreases prominently with the increase in needling density at low fabric weight and has hardly any effect at high fabric weight (450 g/m 2 ). However, around 43% increase in fabric thickness occurs at high jute content level (60%). At low fabric weight, the effect of the needling density on compression creep is highly prominent when polypropylene content is more than 50% in the blend. However, its effect is negligible when jute content is higher than 50% in the blend. The creep initially decreases with the increase in fabric weight up to a certain limit and thereafter it increases. The minimum value of compression creep of around 14% is obtained at 375 g/m 2 fabric weight with 150 punches/cm 2 needling density at the level of 60% jute content.

“…Reduction rates were similar in the first and fourth stages and the change rate was lower in the second stage than the first. Generally, the change was significant in the first three stages (0-6 hours) than the fourth (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Plain weave fabrics with the lowest weight and bending rigidity had the highest percentage of decreasing rate, while weft rib fabrics with the highest weight had the lowest decreasing rate.…”
