OBJECTIVES: To enable the students
• To learn about the production technologies of synthetic fibres such as melt spinning, wet spinning, dry spinning, texturing and stretching methods; colouration techniques of fibres.
• To learn about modification and testing fibre

UNIT I

CRITERIA FOR FIBRE FORMING POLYMERS

9

Development of synthetic - commercial synthetic fibres, Raw materials manufacture. DMT, TPA, MEG, caprolactum, adipic acid, hexamethylene diamine, acrylonitrile, polymerisation - types of polymers - criteria for fibre forming polymers - production of polyethylene terephthalate polymer - polyamides - production of nylon 66 polymer -nylon 6 polymer.

UNIT II

FIBRE PRODUCTION METHODS-1

9

Production of acrylic fibres - polypropylene - production of other fibres - PVC fibres - PVA fibres - Aramid fibres - Melt spinning - Polymer feed - melt spinning equipment - high speed spinning - spin draw processes - crystallization method - melt spinning of PET & PP stable fibres - wet and dry spinning comparison. Spin finishes - functions of spin finish - methods of application of spin finish - spin finish for polyester staple fibres - spin finish for texturing process - effect of spin finish on dyeing.


UNIT III

FIBRE DRAWING PROCESSES

9

Stretching or drawing - conditions of drawing - machines for draw warping - texturing -false twist process - draw texturing- staple fibre production, melt spinning - drawing, heat setting - crimping in fibre line - production of melt spin staple fibre - polyester tops for wool blending - Mass coloration and tow dyeing of polyester, nylon, acrylic -polypropylene - dyeing in loose fibre and yarn forms of polyester, nylon, acrylic, PP, other synthetic fibres - loose fibre dyeing.

UNIT IV

MODIFIED SYNTHETIC FIBRES

9

Modified synthetic fibres - modified polyester, Nylon, PP, acrylics - Hydrophilic -Hollow -Low pilling - flame retardant- bicomponent fibres - Dyeability of synthetic fibres

UNIT V
