Course Description
This course and its practical work deals with yarn development. Concepts of engineering / designing a yarn to meet the requirements of a new product / fabric. Undertaking the project management for evaluation of various yarns to be used in the Fabric Engineering project. Units include: product development; effect of selected fibre on yarn properties; the role of spinning system; yarn structure; market requirement and cost.
Topics covered include:
. definition of product development and requirement analysis;
. selection of fibres, dimensions and properties;
. yarn structure for major end uses ( including spinning systems) and effect on yarn properties;
. testing and evaluation of yarn.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
For the students to gain knowledge and experience in -
