Polymer system of wool

সোমবার, ২০ ফেব্রুয়ারী, ২০১২

The Wool polymer is a linear Keratin polymer with some very short side of grpups and it normally has a helical configuration. The repeating unit of wool polymer is the Amino acid, which shown in  the following figure....
Amino Acid
# What is Peptide Bond ?
When a Amino Acid bond's with a Amino acid then its called the Peptide Bond.

Peptide Bond
# How a Peptide Bond formed ?/ How a wool Polymer formed?
Amino Acid are linked to each other by the peptide bond to form a wool polymer...

Macro and Micro structure of Wool Fiber

রবিবার, ১৯ ফেব্রুয়ারী, ২০১২

Surface of Wool Fiber

The Macro Structure of Wool : 
The wool fiber is crimped, fine to thick, regular fiber. As the diameter of the wool fiber increases the crimp per unit length decreases. 
Length---------------(1.5 to15) -------------(3.8----------38)
Diameter------Fine 14um, coarse 45um,
Length width ration ------------2500:1 for the fine and shorter, 7500:1 for coarse and longer
Color --------------Off white, and light cream.
Crimp ---------------Fine wool 10 crimp/cm, coarse wool 4 crimp/cm

# Physical Properties of wool
  1. Specific Gravity : 1.31
  2. Moisture Regain : (13-16)%
  3. strength-> Tenacity--> Dry : 1.35 g/d
  4. Elasticity--> Breaking extension : 42.5%
  5. Feel ----> Soft
  6. Resiliency : Excellent
  7. Abrasion resistance : good
  8. Dimensional Stability : bad
# Why do we feel warm by wool cloth : The crimped configuration prevents wool fibers from aligning themselves too closely when being spun into yarn. As a result it is possible to have wool textile materials with air spaces. Occupying about two-third of the volume. The warmth of wool fabric is due more to the air spaces in the material then to fiber.

Micro Structure of Wool :
The micro structure of wool fiber consists of three main components, the cuticle, cortex and medulla.
  1. Cuticle : The cuticle is the layer of overlapping epithelial cell's surrounding the wool fiber. There are three cuticle.
        • Epi-Cuticle
        • Exo-Cuticle
        • Endo-Cuticle
      • Epi Cuticle: The epicuticle is the outermost layer covers of the wool fiber
      • Exocuticle : The overlapping epithelial cell forms the exocuticle.
      • Endocuticle: The endocuticle is the intermediate connecting layer bonding the epithelial cell of the cortex of the wool fiber.
  2. The Cortex: The cortex or core, of the fiber forms about 90% of the fiber volume. It consists of countless spindle shaped. It is composed of cortex known as ortho and para cortex. The ortho cortex absorbing more dye than para cortex. The ortho and para cortex spiral around one another.
  3. Medulla: Coarser fiber have a hallow space running lengthwise through the center. This is medulla.

Different types of wool and Its Classification.

শনিবার, ১৮ ফেব্রুয়ারী, ২০১২


Different Types of Wool :

  • Fine wool
  • Medium Wool.
  • Long breeds wool
  • Cross breeds wool
  • Carpet wool

Classification of Wool By flees :
  1. Normal wool.--------------- ( 6 to 8 years of sheep )
  2. Hagget wool ----------------( 12 to 14 years of sheep)
  3. Pulled wool -----------------( 15-16 years of sheep)
  4. Cotty wool ------------------( very low quality sheep)
  5. Tag lock wool --------------( Discolor sheep )
  6. Dead wool ----------------- ( Nearly dead sheep)
  7. Weather wool --------------( Collecting after one collection)

Classification of wool by sheep:
  • Marino wool ( First Class wool )
  • Class two wool
  • Class three wool
  • Class four Wool

Chemical Composition of Wool fiber:
  • Keratin ------------------ 33%
  • Dust -------------------- 26%
  • Suint ------------------- 28%
  • Fat --------------------- 12%
  • Mineral Matter --------- 1%
