Types of Spinning (Man-Made Fibers)

The polymer being spun must be converted into a fluid state. If the polymer is a thermoplastic then it is just melted, if not then it may be dissolved in a solvent or chemically treated to form soluble or thermoplastic derivatives. The fluid polymer is then forced through the spinneret, where the polymer cools to a rubbery state, and then a solidified state.
There are four types of spinning: wet, dry, melt, and gel spinning.

Modacrylic: Less than 85% but at least 35% acrylonitrile units

Nylon: Polyamide in which less than 85% of the amide linkages are directly attached to two aromatic rings

Textile Fibers and Properties

Staple Fiber: Staple fibers are the fibers of limited strength (1-4 inch approx). To make a continious length of yarn from staple fiber , they must be twisted together. The length of staple fibers may be 1 cm to many.

Filament Fiber:Filament fibers are of continious length (more than 5 inch). That is to say the fabrics made from filament fibers are more easier to made as the filament length are continious.

A Brief Introduction To Textiles

Textile: The word "textile" comes from latin word "textilies" which means "woven" and the verb "texere" which means "to weave".
Today the word textile is freely defines as any products made from fibers also is applied to non-woven fabrics, knitted fabrics and special fabrics construction in addition to weaving. When the word textile is used with term "fiber" it refers to any product capable of being woven or other wise made into fabrics.
But now a days widely "textile" is refered to the entities  that are linked with the manufacturing and processing of the textile products.

What is Textile Engineering ?

Textile engineering, also known as textile technology, is the study of various principles form engineering and scientific methodologies. These principles are then implemented for the processing and production of all kinds of textile fabric and yarns from textile fibers. The disciple involves extensive study of chemical and physical principles, which is then utilized for the detailed study and analysis of the behavior of polymers involved in the formation of textile fiber.



Textile engineering on the Internet about one of my more usual, was doing research that I’ve read enough about the descriptive section of Turkish and foreign sources of supply could not find the article a few blends Turkish and I wanted to write.
