 Full text | Abstract: Up to the present, the process of thermal stabilization has most commonly been used for wool-type yarns. The investigation presented concerns the application of the thermal stabilization process to cotton yarns and cotton-type blended yarns. The yarns used were manufactured on ring and rotor-spinning machines from cotton and blends of cotton with chemical fibres. The quality parameters of the yarns obtained were analysed with special attention given to the yarn twist stabilization, tenacity, elongation at break and hairiness. Statistical analyses were used for the evaluation of the investigation results. It was indicated that thermal stabilization improves the twist unbalance of yarns. |
