Abstract
Combination of various manmade polymers has been developed to make fibers with special properties. Fibers are combined at a generation process such as soluble or melting polymers or spinning process such as filament, staple, sliver, yarn, etc. Hybrid blended yarns have been produced as the common form of yarns used in textile industry. Most of the spun blended yarns are produced through cotton-polyester or viscose-polyester in the spinning process. The cellulose fibers blended in spun yarns should be at least 1 inch in length with appropriate surface properties to be blended with polyester staple fibers in spinning. This matter causes limitation in using the cheap materials. In this research, a novel method for blending regenerated cellulose structure with polyester filaments has been examined. Polyester filaments in various forms were coated by viscose layer. Properties of produced yarn were experimented for surface properties, handle and moisture absorbance ability. The result presented that all properties of the samples were improved specially in moisture absorbance, handle and appearance.
