LETTER TO EDITOR: Mechanical Crimp Texturizing: A Novel Concept

The packing density of filaments in zero-twist stretch yarns is very low and the filament segments between points of entanglement are very long. This combination results in relatively high mobility of filament segments along the yarn axis and in any direction away from the yarn axis [1]. The relativ...

Summary:The packing density of filaments in zero-twist stretch yarns is very low and the filament segments between points of entanglement are very long. This combination results in relatively high mobility of filament segments along the yarn axis and in any direction away from the yarn axis [1]. The relatively high mobility of the filaments means that the stretch yarn structure is easily deformed and that yarn has poor dimensional stability in general.
