Hypotheses

u Friction between fibres and fibres & machine during shredding causes fibres to break and loose some of their original length

u Lubrication of textile decrease friction during shredding, thereby decreasing fibre length loss

u Prediction of friction during shredding with the use of a new method to measure inter fibre friction

Fibre length

u Important factor in processability of fibresu Cardingu Too short not possible to spin alone

u Longer fibres results in wider usage; stronger yarn

u Shredding process shortens the fibres u Mix with new fibres

u Low value products

u How to increase the value of shredded fibres?u Maximize fibre length

Fibre friction

u Friction

u irregularities & adhesion

u static & kinetic

u cause deformation and heat

u Inter fibre friction test

Fibre friction

u Necessary in yarns and fabrics

u Managed parameter during fibre and yarn manufacturingu low fibre-to-fibre friction facilitate fibre

separation during cardingu too low friction during carding cause

fibre slippage and uncontrolled process

u High fibre friction during textile shredding cause u fibre length lossu melting of polymeric fibres

Fibre friction:Lubricant treatment

u Decrease fibre friction

u Polyethylene glycole (PEG)

u Lubrication, decreases friction

u Water soluble

u Non-toxic, eco-friendly

Research Questions

u Does treatment with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 of fabric improve the shredding process?

u Decreased fibre length loss?

u Is it possible to spin yarn from 100% recycled fibres?

Friction test

u Carded web of fibres

u Pulled apart in tensile test

u Result shows static and kinetic friction

Conclusions

u PEG 4000 treatment made the shredding more efficientu Higher degree of shredded fibres

u Increased fibre length, especially for polyester

u Lower friction during shredding

u Multifilament yarn are more difficult to shred than staple fibre yarn

u It is possible to predict the fibre length reduction in shredding process by measuring friction between fibres

Future continuation

u Find lubricant for every textile material

u Lubricant

u Percentage

u Develop fibre friction measurement method

u Find value added applications
