Hand-Related Mechanical Behavior of Enzyme-Treated Yarns Part II: Influence of Fiber Disposition

In the second part of our two-part study, we attempt to understand the influence of enzyme treatment on the properties of bicomponent yarns that exhibit systematic differences in fiber arrangement within the yarn. Our results show that the treatment alters the properties of a ring spun, random blend...

Summary:In the second part of our two-part study, we attempt to understand the influence of enzyme treatment on the properties of bicomponent yarns that exhibit systematic differences in fiber arrangement within the yarn. Our results show that the treatment alters the properties of a ring spun, random blended, polyester-cotton yarn more than it alters the properties of a corresponding sheath-core yarn. Results also reveal that the treatment has a different influence on the properties of two friction spun cotton-polyester yarns, one made with a staple polyester core and the other with a multifilament polyester core. The weight losses suffered by the treated yarns are also influenced by the fiber arrangements within the yarn.
