Course Objectives

  1. To enable the students to understand the morphological characteristics of fiber and transmission and Scanning electron microscopes-principle & different techniques
  2. To enable the students to understand the moisture absorption characteristics of fiber.
  3. To enable the students to understand the Tensile characteristics
  4. To enable the students to understand the opticalandfrictional characteristicsof fiber.
  5. To enable the students to understandthermal characteristics of fiber.
UnitTopicsLectures
IStructure and Morphology-Classification of fibres; study of morphological structures of fibers; physical properties of fibres. order and disorder in fibre structure; molecular conformations – planar zig-zag, helical, and lamellar conformations.7
IITransmission and Scanning electron microscopes-principle; construction and working; X-ray diffraction techniques – estimation of crystallinity and orientation. In frared radiation and dichroism techniques; chemical element and group identification by transmittance and optical density methods, molecular orientation estimation.8
IIIMoisture Absorption Characteristics- Theories of moisture sorption; Moisture absorption behavior of natural and man-made fibres; influence of fibre structure, humidity and temperature on the moisture absorption. Heat of sorption – integral and differential, factors influencing heat of sorption.9
IVOptical and Frictional Characteristics-Reflexion and Lustre -objective and subjective methods of measurement - refractive index and its measurement - birefringence, factors influencing birefringence - Absorption and dichroism Friction static, directional friction in wool – friction.9
VThermal Characteristics-Thermal transitions of fibres - thermal conductivity, thermal expansion and contraction, Glass transition temperature (Tg) melting temperature (Tm),Static electricity in textile fibres7
