New possibilities for analysing fibre in textile technology
A new instrument means fibre analysis is improved in both research and education. Its purpose is to spin fibres into thread; they can also be reused.
More development in textiles from the University of Boras.
Staple fibres are fibres with the necessary length and properties so that, through a spinning process, a yarn can be formed. With the new instrument, length and tensile properties are better assessed. The research leader is Nawar Kadi, Professor of Textile Technology.
He tells us that at present, the fibre measurements are manually done with tweezers, rulers, good eyes and a lot of patience. And sometimes it's impossible.
"Fibre lengths vary a lot and many samples are required to create statistically reliable data. With the new instrument 'Fibrotest', the data become reliable. The instrument will also be used for educational purposes."
