Textiles in the New World
Weaving and dyeing were established in the New World before arrival of the Europeans. Weaving was in an advanced state in North and South America during prehistoric times; both the…
Texturing
Texturing processes are essentially concerned with introducing bulkiness into continuous-Filament? (CF) yarns. This means CF yarns generally are the starting material for the texturing processes. However, some melt-spun CF yarns can…
What is Spinning? | Types of Spinning | Dry Spinning | Wet Spinning | Melt Spinning
Spinning is manufacturing process for creating polymer fibers. It is a specialized form of extrusion that uses a spinneret to form multiple continuous filaments. There are four types of spinning: wet, dry, melt,…
Melt Spinning Process | Feature of Melt Spinning | Advantages and Disadvantage of Melt Spinning
Melt Spinning Process: Melt spinning is the most convenient and economic method for polymer fiber manufacturing at industrial scales. In melt spinning, the fiber-forming substance is melted for extrusion through the spinneret…
List of some common man-made Polymers and their Uses
Polymers are made up of various molecules which combine together to form long chains. They usually have high melting and boiling points like PVC (poly vinyl chloride), polystyrene, cellulose. Therefore,…
Manmade Synthetic Fibres
The term synthetic describes any manufactured fiber made from chemical synthesis. Synthetic materials vary in their properties. Many are engineered to imitate and replace natural materials. The benefit of engineered fibers is that special qualities…
Manufacturing of Manmade Fibers
Manmade fibers are manufactured using different mechanical and chemical processes for example Synthetic fibers from thermoplastics are produced by extruding the molten plastic through extrusion dies (spinnerets) into a stream…
What Is Viscose Fabric (Material)?
Viscose fabric is one of many popular fabrics that exists and is commonly known as Rayon. Viscose material is man-made and created by weaving together fibers from cellulose that is chemically extracted from…
Manmade Regenerated Cellulose Fibers
Types of regenerated fibres and properties Certain natural cellulose fibers are treated and re-produced for specific purposes. The famous fibers such as Viscose Rayon, Acetate etc. are produced by processing…
Man-Made Fibers Classification of Man-Made Fibers
What Is MMF? In a very general way, a fiber is defined as any product capable of being woven or otherwise made into a fabric. It may be thought of…
