Author:Wolfaardt, C; Buys, JGDate:Aug 1971A technique for manufacturing double-jersey fabrics containing low percentages of a synthetic component, is proposed.Read more
Author:Hanekom, EC; de Mattos, GWP; Freyer, DBDate:Sep 1971This investigation was undertaken to establish whether wool fabrics could effectively be rendered shrink-resistant by the application of an alkylated methylomelamine resin without harshening the handle of the fabrics to any significant extent.Read more
Author:Van Rensburg, NJJDate:Sep 1971Wool can be bleached successfully with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an organic phosphate acid derivative.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWF; Geldard, A; Kruger, PJDate:Nov 1971The single swift metallic card gave results which favored its use in preference to the double swift fillet or double swift metallic cads for a long wool of 64's quality which was free to nearly free of vegetable matter.Read more
Author:Shiloh, M; Hanekom, EC; Slinger, RIDate:Feb 1972Fabrics having widely differing physical properties can be obtained by intimately blending fibres having disparate mechanical properties.Read more
Author:Layton, L; Ellis, R; Robinson, GADate:May 1972A new concept in designing colour-and-co-we-nit effects is described and illustrated with samples.Read more
Author:Van Rensburg, NJJDate:Aug 1972Cotton can be successfully bleached with emulsions of hydrogen peroxide in perchlorethylene by single step batch application.Read more
Author:Shiloh, M; Kruger, PJ; Slinger, RIDate:Oct 1972Mechanical properties of fabrics from wool and multi-filament nylon core yarns were measured and compared with other fabrics.Read more
Author:Aldrich, V; Kruger, PJDate:Oct 1972An apparatus is described which simulates the withdrawal action of a rectilinear comb, allowing the measurement of the necessary to withdraw a tuft of fibres from a pin bed at high speed.Read more
Author:Aldrich, De V; Kruger, PJDate:Nov 1972The influence of gauge setting and gill-feed on the efficiency with which the rectilinear comb removes impurities was investigated.Read more
Author:Aldrich, De V; Kruger, PJDate:Dec 1972The influence of the gap between pins, percentage void, pin and pin thickness on the combing performance of comb was investigated.Read more
Author:Shiloh, M; Slinger, RIDate:Dec 1972Plain weave, light weight sitting fabrics were constructed from blends of wool and three types of polyester fibres at various levels of composition.Read more
Author:Hunter, LDate:Feb 1973The breaking strength and extension of a range of wool worsted hosiery and weaving yarns were related to the average linear density of the yarn segment and that of the yarn at the point of rupture.Read more
Author:Shiloh, M; Slinger, RIDate:Mar 1973Two blends of dichloro-isocyanuarate (DCCA) treated wool tops and law pilling polyester fibres were prepared, in the ratio of 80/20 and 60/40 wool/polyester.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:May 1973The investigation described in this paper is the first of a series in which the objective is to find a set of scouring conditions, with particular emphasis on pH, which will give optimum results in subsequent mechanical processing.Read more
Author:Aldrich, De V; Grobler, ADate:May 1973Some mechanical properties of wool, wool/polyester and wool/acrylic intimately blended yarns were investigated.Read more
