    Studies On Moisture Content in Cotton Fibre Assembly (Lint) in Relation To Variations in Temperature and Relative Humidity

    This study examined how moisture content in cotton lint is affected by variations in temperature and relative humidity. The researchers measured moisture absorption and desorption in cotton lint across temperatures ranging from 14 to 44°C and relative humidities from 30 to 90%. They found that moisture content increases with higher relative humidity at a given temperature, as expected. However, at a fixed relative humidity, moisture content initially increases and then decreases slightly as temperature rises, despite higher water vapor in the air at higher temperatures. The results show that moisture levels in cotton lint are complexly affected by ambient conditions in non-intuitive ways.

    STUDIES ON MOISTURE CONTENT IN COTTON FIBRE ASSEMBLY (LINT)


    IN RELATION TO VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY
    Matish Chandra, Rajan and P. Nachane
    Technologies for Prosperity, Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology, Mumbai, India
    The effect of temperature and relative humidity on absorption of moisture by cotton lint has not received
    the attention of textile researchers, world over, to the extent it deserved and very little, scattered data are
    available. The present experiment envisages the absorption or desorption of moisture by cotton lint at
    different combination of Temperature (in the range of 14 to 44 Degree Celsius) and Relative Humidity (in
    the range of 30 to 90 Percent). The information thus generated has, therefore, vast application in cotton
    textile testing and trade as well, especially in context to the fact that world wide cotton is traded by
    weight and at the same time moisture has a significant impact on fibre quality. The results obtained show
    that the concept of gain or loss of moisture in a cotton fibre assembly is a complex phenomenon and it is
    difficult to generalize it with respect to different ambient conditions. The study indicates that moisture
    content increases with%RH at any given temperature as generally expected. However, at fixed relative
    humidity it increases initially and then decreases with the increase in temperature, though only
    marginally, in spite of higher availability of moisture(number of water molecules in vapour stage per
    unit volume of air) in the atmosphere with higher temperature.

    COMFORT CHARACTERISTICS ADDED TO KNITTED FABRICS


    FROM FLAX\COTTON BLENDED SPUN YARNS USING RING SPINNING SYSTEM
    Suzan Sanad
    Cotton Research Institute, Agric. Res. Center, Giza, Egypt, Faculty of Applied Arts, Mansoura, Univ
    This investigation was carried out to estimate and compare comfort properties of blended yarns and
    knitted fabrics, made with different proportion of cottonised flax and long staple Egyptian cotton
    (Giza80) using ring spinning system. Cottonised flax was blended in proportions of 30%, 50% and 70%
    with Giza 80 on draw-frame process. The 100% cotton sample was also spun to identical count for
    comparison purpose. All the samples were spun to 20s, 30s, and 40s "cotton system" at a constant twist
    multiplier "4.0 T. M., using the ring spinning procedure. Further, yarn samples were suitably waxed and
    identically knitted into single jersey fabric with the same construction. Cotton and flax fibres, yarns and
    knitted fabrics quality properties were evaluated and tested according to ASTM. The main findings
    could be summarized as follows:

    The 100% cotton yarns were significantly higher yarn strength, elongation, evenness and lower
    imperfections compared with the cotton /flax blended yarns.
    A comparison of the bursting strength of the knitted fabric showed that those made from cotton
    blended with cottonised flax yarns generally have lower bursting strength than those made from
    100% cotton yarn.
    Colour Efficiency (K\S) value of the flax-blended knitted fabrics were slightly higher than the
    cotton knitted fabrics; however the difference between different flax blend ratio was statistically
    insignificant.
    Adding flax to cotton knitted fabrics increases the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF). UPF was
    increased in the respective flax component with decreased yarn count.
    The result showed that the knitted flax blended fabrics permit more moisture absorbed through
    it, as compared to the 100% cotton knitted fabrics. This could be attributed to the large diameter
    of the flax fibre, as fibre fineness. However the difference between cotton and its blends with flax
    was statistically significant. The air permeability, moisture regain and UPF results revealed that
    the knitted fabrics made from cotton /cottonised flax are more suitable for summer
