Abstract:

Viscose/wool powder blended fibres with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% wool powder were produced with the method of wet spinning. SEM, FT-IR spectroscopy, WAXD and TG analysis were used to study the chemical composition and structure of viscose/wool powder blended fibre. The experimental results show that the macromolecule composition, aggregation structure, morphological structure and thermal properties of these viscose/wool powder blended fibres were similar, which mainly show the characteristics of viscose fibre. Absorption studies were carried out to investigate the protein characteristics of the blended fibre. The results showed that the affinity of the blended fibre to acid dye increased with the wool powder content.
