Isophthalic acid (IPA) was used to modify poly(trimethylene terephthalate) to obtain a series of poly(trimethylene terephthalate-co-trimethylene isophthalate) (PTTI). The effects of different molar ratios of IPA to TPA on the melting temperature (Tm) of poly(trimethylene terephthalate-co-trimethylene isophthalate) (PTTI) were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The experimental results indicated that the crystallinity and the melting temperature obviously decreased with the molar ratio of IPA to TPA increasing. In order to improve the crystallinity, PEG were imported at the polycondensation stage to obtain PTTI-PEG, characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG) and Wide Angle X-ray Diffraction (WAXD).

Polypropylene (PP) film was treated by cold plasma and followed by a vapor phase graft polymerization of acrylic acid (AAc). It was found that 15 minutes grafting was sufficient enough to decrease the water contact angle (WCA) of PP film from 97 to 32, which indicates a great improvement in its hydrophilicity. FTIR-ATR study confirmed the grafting of AAc on PP film. SEM observation clearly showed many bump-like substances in the size of around 1-2m. This modified hydrophilicity kept very well even after washing the grafted sample in boiling water for 10 minutes, which indicates that the ageing effect of merely plasma-treated PP film was overcome. By investigating the effect of reaction time and temperature on the degree of grafting, an optimum condition was found as grafting for 15min at 55C. Under the optimum condition, the degree of grafting and WCA of grafted sample reached 0.45% and 32, respectively. It was thought that this fast and effective method of graft polymerization in vapor phase could provide a strong experimental support to develop corresponding industrial applications in the field of surface modification.

The optimization of the fiber filter media’s internal structural parameters is crucial to improving the filtering performance. A series of three-dimensional structure of the fiber filter media, where cylindrical fibers are random arrangement, staggered arrangement and alignment arrangement,was created with computer technology. And the gas flow fields with different SVF, different face velocity and different fibrous arrangement are presented. Three dimensionless pressure drop expressions corresponding to the three kinds of fiber filter media were obtained. There have a good agreement between the CFD simulations and the Davies’s equation. The results indicate: the pressure drop increases linearly with the face velocity; but it increases non-linear with the SVF; The pressure drop of these three types of fiber arrangement by size is staggered arrangement, alignment arrangement and random arrangement respectively.

Thermal characterizations of four fractional celluloses and hemicelluloses isolated by alkaline hydrogen peroxide from defatting Mucuna sempervirens fiber were studied. Thermal gravimetric (TG) experiments determined the initial decomposition temperature (Tdi), maximum decomposition (Tdm), final decomposition (Tdf) and caput mortuum amount of four fractional celluloses and hemicelluloses. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis demonstrated that thermal decomposition of four fractional celluloses and hemicelluloses includes the five phases of ice crystals melt, water endothermic evaporation, fusing, thermal pyrolysis and final hard coke thermolysis during the scanning range between -50℃ and 550℃. Moverover, the onset temperatures (TOS), peak temperatures (TPS), end temperatures (TES) and endothermic enthalpies of their fusing and thermal pyrolysis endothermic peak were also measured. The Kissinger equation was successfully applied to describe the thermal decomposition process of four fractional celluloses and hemicelluloses. The kinetic parameters of apparent activation (E) and reaction order (n) were obtained, respectively.

The false-twist compact spinning method was suggested to improve the quality of cotton ring spinning yarn. A series of spinning experiments were conducted to investigate the influences of drafting systems, rotational speed ratio and rotational direction of the false twister on yarn evenness, hairiness index, breaking strength and breaking elongation. The results showed that the yarns produced on the double-apron drafting system have better qualities than that produced on the simple three-roller drafting system. The rotational direction should be adjusted according to the twist direction of the roving. The twist direction of the roving used in the experiment is “Z” twist, so the rotational direction should be counterclockwise. The experiment results also indicated the determination of rotational speed ratio should be based on other spinning parameters. When the rotational direction of the false twister is counterclockwise, the optimum rotational speed ratio is 0.36. When the false twister runs clockwise, the rotational speed ratio should be higher to improve yarn quality.

The number of fibers in sample must be obtained to determine diameter of fiber and blending rate of sample. In order to do this automatically a fiber scatter should first be introduced to make fibers interlaced together as less as three. Then image process is employed to distinguish individual fiber. The paper introduced this image process method. First, the edge of interlacing fibers is extracted. Second, the slope angle of tangent at the individual point of edge is calculated to form a curve of slope angle. This curve is wavelet transformed and the dots at the end of fiber are removed because sharp change occurs in the curve. The fiber edge can be restored from the remained dots by Hough transform. These edges are sort out to figure out the amount of interlacing fiber and also diameter of fibers. Experiment shows the accurate is high enough for standards involved.

Effect of some amino substances used as plasticizers on the plasticization of starch sizing agents was investigated in terms of paste viscosity, viscosity stability, adhesion-to-fibers, and starch film behaviors. The plasticizers evaluated included aniline, ethanolamine, urea, etc. Superior plasticizer was found through control test, and the content was also determined. The experimental results demonstrated that the plasticizers could improve the fragility of starch film because breaking elongation and flex resistance of the film increased and wear loss decreased. However, tensile strength of the film decreased with the increase of plasticizer content. It was recommended that ethanolamine should be used for plasticizing starch with a content of 6%～9% based on dry weight of starch.
