Comparative Study on the Physical Properties of Jute, Jute viscose and Jute - polyester (Hollow) Blended Yarns

摘要

The present study reveals the comparison of physical and mechanical behaviour of the jute-viscose and Jute-hollow Polyester blended single yarn with similar 100% jute yarn. Conventional jute spinning machineries were used to produce these Jute diversified yarns. Yarn bulk density packing factor tenacity breaking elongation, specific flexural rigidity and coefficient of friction are the properties studied to compare these two jute blended yarns with 100% jute yarn and also among themselves. Jute yarn has higher tensile strength but lower elongation properties compared to jute blended yarn where as jute viscose yarn has lower bulk density and higher packing properties compared to jute yarn. Coefficient of static friction, hairiness and coefficient of variation of various properties of jute polyester (hollow) blended yarns is lower compared to 100% jute yarn. Hence, fabric woven from jute polyester (hollow) blended yams is lower compared to 100% jute yarn. Hence, fabric woven from jute polyester will have smoother surface.
