Section: 001

Course Description

The course covers advanced aspects of processing fibers or filaments into yarns and the interrelation between the yarn mechanics and structure, geometry, and properties of fiber assembly. The theme is the influence of fibers' measured properties on the quality of subsequent yarns and fabrics. The issues associated with the development of a universal model for the prediction of yarn properties, including the role of test methods on reported values, the impact of fiber blends, various parameters associated with quality in textile products including difficulties associated with a definition of "quality" and how all of these impact yarn costs.
