Author:Ellis, R; Robinson, GA; Marsland, SGDate:Jan 1977Relatively fine wrapped core-spun mohair yarns were produced on the Repco spinner and uptwisted with very few turns per metre to retain the natural lustre of the mohair fibres.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:Garner, E; Barkenhuysen, FADate:Dec 1984The bleaching of cotton fabrics with radio frequency (RF) energy was investigated and compared with conventional pad-steam bleaching.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWF; Cizek, JDate:Sep 1987One of the unique features of the SAWTRI Length/Strength Tester for raw wool staples is that it provides automatic measurement of the staple profile in addition to data on staple length and strength.Read more
Author:Swanepoel, OA; Van Rooyen, ADate:Nov 1969The loss of weight wool shockproof with DCCA is dyed was investigated and methods of reducing this loss by introducing cross linkages into the protein were examined.Read more
Author:Taylor, H; Spencer, JDDate:Jan 1979Relatively short scoured wool with moderately heavy vegetable fault was processed successfully, when blended with cotton in 75/25 and 50/50 ratios on standard cotton machinery.Read more

Author:Barkenhuysen, FA; Van Rensburg, NJJDate:May 1980Lightweight and heavyweight cotton fabrics were treated in the slack state with a solution of DMHEU resin and NH4NO3 catalyst in liquid ammonia.Read more
Author:Cawood, MPDate:1978Textured yarns, especially polyester, play an important role in the synthetic and natural yarn market. In the apparel sector the false twist textured yarns have maintained the dominant position.Read more
Author:Taylor, H; Van der Merwe, JP; Veldsman, DPDate:Apr 1978In this report the authors comment on rotor spinning directly from card sliver and on the beneficial effect on yarn properties of one drawframe passage prior to spinning.Read more
Author:Van der Merwe, JP; Veldsman, DPDate:Feb 1978In this article the authors pay particular attention to the effect of introducing grooves (or flutes) in the doffing tube navel and to the positioning of the doffing tube in respect of the rotor base using a Schubert and Saler RU-11 rotor machine.Read more
Author:Hunter, IM; Weideman, E; Wevers, HW; Veldsman, DPDate:Mar 1971The decision to convert SAWTRI to a National institute is an expression of confidence in the future of the research.
