Property testing and classification of bamboo fiber yarns with different structures

To study the properties and applicability of different structural bamboo fiber yarns,the tensile strength,hairiness,evenness,twist and abrasion resistance of the yarns were tested.The principal component analysis based on the properties obtained was used to review the applicability,and the rankings of three principal components and the comprehensive principal components were given.The results showed that ring spun bamboo fiber yarns are appropriate for the products which require a high strength without a very good appearance.Comprehensive properties of bamboo fiber compact yarn are the best.Bamboo fiber sirospun yarns have nice appearance.New types of bamboo fiber yarns may be used for designing fabrics with special styles.
