Introduction of Acrylic Fibers | Properties of Acrylic Fiber |Production Process of Acrylic Fiber | Uses of Acrylic Fiber

A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is any long chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of acrylonitrile units [-CH2-CH(CN)-] (FTC definition). Acrylic fibers are produced by two basic methods of spinning (extrusion), dry and wet. In the dry spinning method, material to be spun is dissolved is a solvent. After extrusion through the spinneret, the solvent is evaporated, producing continuous filaments which later may be cut into staple, if desired. In wet spinning, the spinning solution is extruded into a
liquid coagulating bath to form filaments, which are drawn, dried, and processed.

Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer (polyacrylonitrile) with an average molecular weight of ~100,000, about 1900 monomer units. To be called acrylic in the U.S, the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylonitrile monomer. Typical comonomers are vinyl acetate or methyl acrylate. The Dupont Corporation created the first acrylic fibers in 1941 and trademarked them under the name “Orlon”.

Raw Material
Acrilonitrile is the main main raw material for the manufacture of acrylic fibres. It is made by different methods. In one commercial method, hydrogen cyanide is treated with acetylene:
1st Method

Acetylene + Hydrogen cyanide —> Acrilonitrile

2nd Method
Ethylene—Air Oxidation—> Ethylene oxide + HCN—> Ethylene cyanahydrin—Dehydration at 300 deg C (catalyst)—> Acrylonitrile

Production Process of Acrylic Fiber
The acrylic process is a “one step technology”, with the following main characteristics:

1. polymerization in solution
2. direct feeding of the dope to spinning
3. wet spinning
4. DMF as solvent for both polymerization and spinning

Production Process of Acrylic Fiber

In a continuous polymerisation process, 95% acrylonitrile and 6% methyl acrylate (400 parts) 0.25% aqueous solution of K2S2O8(600 parts), 0.50 % Na2S2O5 solution ( 600 Parts) and 2N sulphuric acid (2.5 Parts) are fed into the reaction vessel at 52 deg C under nitrogen atmosphere giving a slurry with 67% polymer. The slurry is continuously withdrawn, filtered and washed till it is free from salts and dried.

Acrilonitrile is dry spun. The material is dissolved in dimethyl formamide, the solution contains 10-20 polymers. It is heated and extruded into a heated spinning cell. A heated evaporating medium such as air, nitrogen or steam moves counter current to the travel of filaments and removes the solvent to take it to a recovery unit. The filaments are hot stretched at 100 to 250 C depending on the time of contact in the hot zone, to several times their original length.

Properties of Acrylic Fibers

1. Acrylic has a warm and dry hand like wool. Its density is 1.17 g/cc as compared to 1.32 g/cc of wool. It is about 30% bulkier than wool. It has about 20% greater insulating power than wool.

2. Acrylic has a moisture regain of 1.5-2% at 65% RH and 70 deg F.

3. It has a tenacity of 5 gpd in dry state and 4-8 gpd in wet state.

4. Breaking elongation is 15% ( both states)

5. It has a elastic recovery of 85% after 4% extension when the load is released immediately.

6. It has a good thermal stability. When exposed to temperatures above 175 deg C for prolonged periods some discolouration takes place.

7. Acrylic shrinks by about 1.5% when treated with boiling water for 30 min. 

8. It has a good resistance to mineral acids. The resistance to weak alkalies is fairly good, while hot strong alkalies rapidly attack acrylic.

9. Moths, Mildew and insects do not attack Acrylic.

10. It has an outstanding stability towards commonly bleaching agents.

Uses of Acrylic Fiber

1. Knit Jersey, Sweater, blankets

2. Wrinkle resistant fabrics.

3. Pile and Fleece fabrics

4. Carpets and rugs.

Precaution of Acrylic Fiber 

• Wash delicate items by hand in warm water. Static electricity may be reduced by using a fabric softener in every third or fourth washing. Gently squeeze out water, smooth or shake out garment and let dry on a non-rust hanger. (Sweaters, however, should be dried flat.) 
• When machine washing, use warm water and add a fabric softener during the final rinse cycle. 
• Machine dry at a low temperature setting. Remove garments from dryer as soon as tumbling cycle is completed. 
• If ironing is required, use a moderately warm iron. (For specific instructions, refer to garment’s sewn-in care label.)

Application of Computer in Textile Engineering | Write a Program toCalculate Actual Draft by Using C Programming Language

Experiment .name:Write a program to calculate actual draft by using C programming language.

INTRODUCTION :
Introducing with programme in “C” demands some initial computer knowledge to be known .we have to start with some necessary conceptions of computer programming language and systems provided for “C” programming.

OBJECTIVES:
1.To know the computer language .
2.To learn how to work with ‘C++’
3.To cope with ‘C’ programming. 

Description of some code using in programming language:

• printf( )=To display a command in monitor.
• Void=Not to return the value from one function.
• getch( )=To hold the value in the monitor until getting any response from programmer.
• /n =To show contents in multiple line .
• /t =To show contents in each pages with connection.
• stdio.h = For adding header file and to input the printf ( ) programming code in the computer.

TO DISPLAY A TEXT ON A SCANER:
#include
#include
void main( )
{
clrscr( );
float A_draft,DC,DCP,waste,T_draft;
printf(“Enter DC,DCP,present waste=”);
scanf(“%f%f%f,& DC,&DCP,&waste”);
T_draft=DC/DCP
A_draft=(T_draft*100)/(100-waste);
Printf(“\n\n Actual draft=%0.2f”,A_draft);
getch( );
}

CONCLUSION:
Programming in “C” is very essential for programming. This is a vital experiment for us. I hope this experiment is very helpful in our practical life in future.

5-Wheel Take Up Mechanism | Five Wheel Take Up Mechanism (Jute) | Usesof 5-Wheel Take-Up Mechanism in Jute Weaving

Experiment name: Study on 5-wheel take up mechanism(jute).

Introduction:
Take-up is to draw a fabric to the cloth roller regularly as it is woven. Texture of a fabric largely depends upon the number of ends and picks per centimeter or inch. This motion determines the number of picks of weft per inch or centimeter and contributes to the uniform texture of the fabric. It is the work of the weaver for accurately fixing the position of the fell of the cloth before starting a loom. It is related to 7-Wheel Take up mechanism. 5-Wheel take up mechanism is used in case of jute weaving and 7-Wheel take up mechanism is used in another weaving as like as cotton.

Objects:
1.To know about the construction of the mechanism.
2.To know about drive of the take-up motion.

Take up motion:
The process of withdrawing fabric from weaving zone at a constant rate and then winding the woven cloth on the cloth roller with the continuous progress of weaving is called take up motion.

Types:
(1)According to drive:
(a) Positive take up.
(b)Negative take up. 

(2)According to motion of the cloth/Rate of take up:
(a)Continuous
(b)Intermittent

(3)According to drive given to the cloth roller:
(a)Direct drive
(b)Indirect drive

(4)According to number of gear train:
(a)5-Wheel
(b)6-Wheel
(c)7-Wheel

(5)According to brand name:
(a)Sulzer
(b)Pickanol
(c)Toyota

Specification:
1.Rachet Wheel(54)
2.Change Wheel(44)
3.Stud/Compound(70)
4.Stud/Compound pinion(27)
5.Take up Wheel(8/2)
6.Take up Roller Dia(10.5inch)
7.Cloth Roller
8.Pushing Paul
9.Holding Paul

Mechanism:
It consists of a train of five wheels. Of these five wheels rachet, stud and cloth roller wheels are driven wheels while change and stud pinions are driver wheels. The motion is primarily imparted from the sleysword. The sleysword is connected to the sley that gets motion from crank shaft and the crank shaft gets motion from motor by gearing. At the bottom of sleysword a connecting rod is connected which passes the motion to the monkey tail. The monkey tail is fulcrumed with two pawls: the upper is holding pawl and lower is pushing pawl. These two pawls are mounted freely to the rachet wheel which is the 1st wheel of this mechanism. The rachetwheel is connected with the change pinion by shaft which is the 2nd wheel. Under the change pinion the 3rd wheel named stud wheel is geared. This wheel is geared with the stud pinion, the 4th wheel. The 5th wheel is take-up roller wheel which is geared upon the stud pinion. The cylinder upon which the woven fabric is wound, is connected with this wheel by shaft. Now when the sley moves one time after one pick insertion the connecting rod pass this motion to the monkey tail and as the pawls are fulcrum with monkey tail they get upward motion. Using this upward motion the pushing pawl pushes the rachet wheel one time and and the holding pawl holds the rachet in this position. Finally the cloth roller gets the motion by gear train and thus fabric is wound on cloth roller continuously with the weaving of fabric.

The take-up may be grown or lessen by changing the position of monkey tail and pawls where they are sloted. The more the distance is between them the more take-up is occurred and vice versa.

Remarks:
By this experiment we know about how to cloth is collected by take up mechanism. This is an interesting experiment too. We hope this will be very helpful in our practical life.
