The Spinning of Rayon as Related to its Structure and Properties

Abstract

1 N RECENT years, many new types of rayon have leen introduced to the trade, each claiming to be an improvement or at least to have new properties which make the fiher better adapted for specific end uses. This paper is a general interpretation of how the rayon industry has improved the properties of rayon. This will be developed more from the physicalchemical point of view rather than from the engineering or fiber technologist's viewpoint. and I shall borrow freely from the literature and our own research without attempting to give due credit to the many people who have contributed to the concepts discussed.at WESTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY on

Mechanical Principles of Natural Crimp of Fiber

“…The equation they derived for change in curvature of wool fiber crimp on drying is the same as the one shown here ( Equation 7 ) . b Their equation differs from ours in that they avoided the simplifying assumption we made, that the distance between centroids of the sections is eclual to one-hal,f the total diameter.…”

Carbon fibers prepared from ionic liquid-derived cellulose precursors

“…The skin contains many small crystallites imparting strength, whereas the core contains fewer but larger crystallites. These rayon fibers are technically used as tire cords [5,6]. Viscose rayon suffers from a porous morphology, an irregular fiber cross-section and transversal cracks.…”

Swelling and dissolution mechanism of regenerated cellulosic fibers in aqueous alkaline solution containing ferric–tartaric acid complex—Part II: Modal fibers

“…Viscose and modal fibers have a very wide pore size distribution from nanometer to micrometer size (Abu-Rous, Ingolic, & Schuster, 2006). The fibrillation tendency of fibers, which occurs due to the high orientation of fibrils, increases in this order: modal < viscose < lyocell (Lenz, Schurz, & Wrentschur, 1993;Sisson, 1960).…”
