Manufactured fibres for high performance, industrial and non-conventional applications

  • Chapter
Manufactured Fibre Technology

Abstract

The emphasis in this book has up till now been on manufactured commodity fibres, like poly(ethylene terephthalate), nylon 6, nylon 66, polyacrylonitrile, polypropylene and viscose rayon, which have been described individually in separate chapters. While describing these fibres, it was emphasized that they are used not only as apparel and household textiles but also as industrial fibres or technical textiles. Taking polyester, which is a well-known apparel and household textile fibre, as an example, it is interesting to note that, in the USA, industrial polyester yarn consumption in 1991 was over 50% of the total polyester filament yarn consumption [1], with tyre cord alone accounting for 38%, the rest being used in seat belts, V belts, coated fabrics, cordage, hoses and other applications. In the recent past, the pattern for fibre production has shown significant changes, with the industrial nations moving towards lower volume but much higher value-added products for industrial markets, while the developing countries are expanding their production capacities for commodity fibres [2].
