Abstract:

In order to solve the problem that the friction between high strength and high modulus tows of three-dimensional fabrics in weaving process reduces the properties of fabrics, taking quartz fiber as an example, a fixture for friction and wear testing machine for testing the friction between tows was designed. With this machine, the tows or single fibers could be in contact with each other at vertical or certain angles. The influence of friction angle, friction frequency and load on the frictional properties of tows on fiber scale was studied. The results show that the three experimental parameters have different degrees of friction and wear on the surface of the tows. The friction coefficient at a friction angle of 70° is 1.2 times of that at 90°, and the smaller the friction angle, the greater the wear degree. Friction frequency and load have no effect on friction coefficient within a certain range. In the weaving process of 3-D fabrics, the inclined contact between the tows should be reduced as much as possible to decrease the fabric performance degradation, and the weaving frequency and load can be increased within a certain range to improve the production efficiency.

Key words: three-dimensional fabric, high performance quartz fiber, friction angle, friction frequency, friction property
