Properties of Fabrics Made from Cotton/Polyethylene Blend Yarns

摘要

This paper describes the techniques used to process a rather difficult Dyneema ~R polyethylene staple fiber of a fine denier, and to develop, for the first time, some cotton- rich intimeate-blend and bi-component yarns and fabrics containing Dyneema. Basi- cally, a cleaned cotton is intimately blended with Dyneema in several different blend ratios. The blends are converted into different size rovings appropriate for spinning regular intimate-blend yarns on a standard ring spinning system and comparable bi- component core-wrap yarns on the SRRC core-spinning system using the intimeat- blend roving as the core material and two equivalent cotton rovings for the wrap.
