ABSTRACT

An increase in demand for natural fiber has created a good opportunity for the – new emerging fiber like bhindi, the ‘fiber from waste plant,’ into the production of value-added textiles and in different applications. This paper envisages a customized blending process of bhindi and jute fibers for developing durable blended yarns, fabrics, and suitable home textiles products; additionally, the effect of blending in terms of physical and esthetic properties of fabric has been investigated. Five types of yarns (100% bhindi, 75:25 bhindi/Jute, 50:50 bhindi/jute, 25:75 bhindi/jute, and 100% jute) have been prepared under identical processing condition and subsequently, blended fabrics are developed. Further based on the survey results the suitable home textiles products are developed. Effects of jute fiber blending on physical and esthetic properties of bhindi/jute-blended fabrics have been examined and subsequently, comparative analysis with 100% bhindi (control) fabric has been carried out. It was found that bhindi:Jute-blended fabrics have increased in strength and flexible property and have an increase in air permeability and absorbency property. Different products were developed from five different fabrics and the majority of respondents found the products as suitable for different home textiles uses.

摘要

对天然纤维需求的增加为新出现的纤维（如 Bhindi，即“来自废料厂的纤维”）进入增值纺织品的生产和不同应用创造了良好的机会。本文设想了一种定制的印度麻和黄麻纤维混纺工艺，以开发耐用的混纺纱线、织物和合适的家用纺织品产品；此外，还研究了混纺对织物物理和美学特性的影响。在相同的加工条件下制备了五种纱线（100% 印度麻、75:25 印度麻/黄麻、50:50 印度印度麻/黄麻、25:75 印度印度麻和 100% 黄麻），随后开发了混纺面料。进一步根据调查结果开发合适的家纺产品。黄麻纤维混纺对印地/黄麻混纺织物的物理和美学特性的影响已经过研究，随后，与 100% 印地（对照）织物进行了比较分析。研究发现，bhindi:黄麻混纺织物的强度和柔韧性有所提高，透气性和吸湿性也有所提高。由五种不同的面料开发出不同的产品，大多数受访者认为这些产品适合不同的家用纺织品用途。
