Swelling method of ramie yarnTechnical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ramie yarn performance research, in particular to a swelling method of ramie yarns.
Background
Because the single fiber length of the fibrilia is short, the later-stage textile processing can be realized only after the fibrilia is mostly made into technical fibers. However, the single fiber of the prepared technical fiber is short, so the tip of the fiber is exposed outside the yarn to form a defect, which affects the fabric hand feeling, and the fiber needs to be subjected to swelling treatment, so that the tip is expanded and weakened to bring about the itching feeling. The swelling treatment of the fiber is normally carried out by using caustic soda and liquid ammonia. The main differences between the caustic soda mercerization finishing and the liquid ammonia finishing of the fabric are as follows:
1. the fabric has higher dye uptake and stronger luster after mercerization and finishing by using white liquor, but has slightly poor dyeing uniformity. After liquid ammonia finishing, the dye-uptake rate during dyeing is not as high as that of alkali mercerization, and the gloss is not as good as that of alkali mercerization. But the cotton textile fabric finished by the liquid ammonia has good leveling property and soft luster.
2. The fabric treated by the liquid ammonia has good dimensional stability and less discoloration. The dimensional change is still small despite multiple washes.
3. The liquid ammonia finishing hardly damages the fibers, but can improve the abrasion resistance and tear strength. And the fibers are damaged slightly during mercerizing and finishing in white liquor, and the weight of the fibers is reduced by more than 10%.
4. Liquid ammonia treatment: when the fibre was handled through liquid ammonia, liquid ammonia can permeate inside the fibre fibril fast, unpacks apart the fibre intramolecular hydrogen bond, makes it begin even inflation from the core, and the cross-section is expanded into circularly by flat, and the chamber is through diminishing, and the surface is smooth. Because of the change of the fiber crystal structure, the internal stress is eliminated and the fiber is not twisted, thereby improving the tensile strength and the tearing strength. The hand feeling is kept good even after repeated washing. The liquid ammonia treatment does not damage the fiber, the puffing effect is uniform, the ammonia gas is easy to remove, the process is simple, and the energy is saved.
But the fiber is partially retracted along with the removal of ammonia after the traditional liquid ammonia treatment.
