Author:Robinson, GADate:Apr 1974Knit-de-knit body blanks were produced in various stitch length from approximately 67/33 polyester/ cotton blend yarns, and a ratio equal to finish stitch length for various tex yarns as calculated.Read more
Author:Robinson, GA; Cawood, MP; Dobson, DADate:Apr 1976The knittability of a range of yarn linear densities was determined from knittability curves of tightness factor versus the number of yarn breakages, during the knitting of plain single jersey fabrics.Read more
Author:Robinson, GA; Cawood, MP; Dobson, DADate:Jul 1977The knitting of short staple wool blend yarns on a 28 gauge single jersey knitting machine was investigated.Read more
Author:Hanekom, EC; Barkenhuysen, FADate:Dec 1975The construction of a pilot chain-less merceriser for the liquid ammonia treatment of fabrics is described.Read more
Author:Barkenhuysen, FADate:Mar 1976Certain physical properties of cotton fabrics were improved by a treatment with liquid ammonia. Although liquid ammonia mercerisation did not improve the breaking strength of the fabrics, it had a desirable effect on other properties such as ...Read more
Author:Barkenhuysen, FADate:Apr 1976Cotton fabrics of different construction and densities were pretreated with liquid ammonia before durable press finishing treatments.Read more
Author:Barkenhuysen, FADate:May 1976It was found that the fluidity of the cotton was not significantly affected by either liquid ammonia or sodium hydroxide mercerisation.Read more
Author:Barkenhuysen, FADate:Nov 1976The effect of liquid ammonia on certain properties of 50/50 cotton/polyester blended fabrics was investigated.Read more
Author:Barkenhuysen, FADate:Jan 1977The effect of a liquid ammonia treatment on certain properties of 67/33 cotton/wool, all-cotton and all-wool fabrics was investigated.Read more
Author:Den Heijer, ZMM; Swanepoel, OADate:1967Consumer surveys carried out in Europe have placed renewed emphasis on the desirability of having available on the market pure wool hand knitting yarns which would be suitable for washing in household machines.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:Smuts, S; Hunter, L; Frazer, WDate:Feb 1983A photoelectric device (called a Medullameter), which provides a measure of the amount of light scattered at the fiber/medulla interface of all medullated fibers in a sample, and therefore of the degree of medullation, was built at SAWTRI ...Read more
Author:Gee, EDate:Apr 1983By quantifying the non-symmetrical distribution of fibre diameter and length of different wool lots, it has been shown that the measures of the mode, skewness and kurtosis can play a significant role in the spinning performance of yarns and ...Read more
Author:Gee, EDate:Aug 1976Estimates for the South African merino wool clip of the within bale and between bale variations of yields and of diameter have been made from cores taken by Model T coring machines for wools sold through three ports.Read more
Author:Gee, E; Robie, GJDate:Nov 1973Sixteen types of wool (Spinners, Top makers, etc.) represented by 264 bales were cored and measured for clean wool content and fibre diameter.Read more
Author:Van Rensburg, NJJDate:Jun 1974All cotton, polyester and cotton/polyester blended fabrics containing 80, 60 and 40 percent cotton were treated with trisphosphate or titanium tetrachloride/antimony oxide.Read more
Author:Cilliers, WCDate:Jun 1968Lambswool is reputed to process certain distinctive properties, which makes it especially suited for selected end uses.Read more
Author:Galuszynski, S; Robinson, GADate:Dec 1987The making up of five commercial mohair worsted suiting fabrics was investigated in terms of dimensional stability, bond peel strength, seam slippage, seam pucker, sewability and fraying.Read more
