In view of the difficulties in yarn processing of yakwool and in order to study its spinnability, the physical and mechanical properties of yakwool, such as the surface scale structure, lengtg, fineness, strength, crimpness and friction, were analyzed and compared with those of camel hair and cashmere products in matuer development. It was pointed out that although the surface morphologies of the three kinds of fibers were similar, the difficulty in the production of high count yakwool yarns was higher because of its shorter fiber length and fine fineness. However, the yakwool also acquired the highest strength, crimp rate and friction effect among the three. Therefore, the difficulty in the production of pure yakwool yarns was lower than the other two. Furthermore, the fabrics made from yakwool would is stiffer than camel hair and cashmere.

Polypropylene (PP) was modified by blending with the modifier of SiO2-coated TiO2 nanoparticles, and a twin-bore capillary rheometer was used to analyze the shear rheological properties of the blends. The results show that the non-Newtonian behavior of PP is enhanced by adding the modifier. When the shear rate is at  500 s-1, the non-Newtonian index of the blends with mass fraction of 6% was 27.1% lower than pure PP; and it was 14.3% lower than that pure PP when the shear rate is at 4500 s-1. Furthermore, the adding of the modifier can improve the flow resistance of PP. Compared with pure PP, the viscous flow activation energy and shear viscosity of the blends with the modifier mass fraction of 6% were increased by 68.4% and 22.1%, respectively, under the shear rate of 1184.29 s-1 at 240 ℃. Raising the temperature can significantly improve the melt flow properties. At shear rate of 584.80 s-1, the shear viscosity of the blends with adding amount of 6% was decreased by 37.1% at 250 ℃ compared with that at 230 ℃. Experimental results indicated that the spinnability of the blends can be improved by the proper control of adding proportion, melting temperature and extrusion process.

To study the characteristics of the pore shape in spunbonded nonwoven, five dinds of spunbonded polypropylene nonwovens were produced using different mesh belt frequency. The pore shape was characterized by 8 indexes such as breadth/length ratio. These indexes were measured by employing digital image processing technology. The reducing dimension calculation was applied to the above indexes using principal component analysis. Thus two principal components which reflect the pore flat degree and boundary roughness were extracted, respectively. Therefore it not only eli;minates the interdependence among original indexes, but also simplifies the study. The influence of the mesh belt frequency on the pore shape was analyzed and the results show that with the increasing of the mesh belt frequency, the pore shape tend to become flatter, and the boundary roughness value first decline and then rise. The research results can provide a certain reference to understand the intrinsic mechanism of the influence of the pore shape on the filtration performance and the mechanical property of nonwovens.

In order to study the impact resistance of an O-shaped hollow core structural fiber reinforcement composite, the structural dynamic mechanicalresponses of such type of composite subjected to the ballistic impact at serious striking wvlocities were calculated and compared by finite element analysis ( FEA ) . By comparatively analyzing the evlocity-time curves and acceleration-time curves of the projectiles with different striking velocities, and the structural damage morphologies and modes of composite targets, as well as the effects of fiber volume fraction on the impact-resistance peoperty of the composite, it was found that the velocity degradation peocess of the project can be divided into three distinct stages. The fluctuation in acceleration can directly indicated the change of reaction force at projectile which was induced by the composite composite target. The damage magnitude of composite target showed a certain of law by reason of the different striking velocities, it was related to the proportion of the impact energy which was absorbed and dissipated by the composite. Furthermore, in general, the composite showed better impact resistance as the fiber volume fraction increased.

In order to solve the proboem of neutral feather keratin on limited use in the textile sizing field due to poor water-solubility under neutral condition, various concentrations of hydrophilic vinyl monomer - acrylic acid (AA) were grafted onto the molecular chains of native feather keratin. A series of feather keratin-g-PAA with different grafting ratios were prepared and the grafted feather keratin sizes were endowed with water-solubility or good water-dispersibility under neutral condition. The sizing experiments on pure cotton yarns were carried out using the natural and grafted feather keratins as sizing agents, respectively. Sizing properties of feather keratins were evaluated in terms of tensile strength, tensile elongation, abrasion resistance, and the hairiness amount of the sized yarns. The results show that graft modification can remarkably improve sizing properties of the feather keratin. Compared with the unsized cotton yarns, the yarns sized by modified feather keratin (grafting ratio: 29.72%) exhibit better properties. The tensile strength of the yarns sized by the grafted keratin is increased by 24.56% while the tensile elongation is decreased by only 14.49%. The abrasion number of the sized yarns is almost 4 times as high as that of unsized yarns. In addition, the hairiness amount of the yarns sized by the grafted keratin is decreased to a large extent.

Nano-ZnO was modified by silane coupling agent vinyltriethoxysilane (A-151). Polyacrylate/nano-ZnO composite emulsion was prepared by in-situ polymerization, and was used for pigment printing. Nano-ZnO before and after modification were characterized by FT-IR and DLS. The composite emulsion was characterized by DLS and TEM. Effects of nano-ZnO feeding ways on the composite emulsion were studied. Particle size of modified nano-ZnO increased compared with unmodified nano-ZnO. Composite emulsion had a relatively uniform particle size of 190~200nm. Nano-ZnO feeding ways had little effect on particle size and its monodispersity of the composite latex but affected the particle size distribution. Gel rate of the composite emulsion was lower when nano-ZnO was added in the second stage of emulsion polymerization. Performance for printed fabric using the composite latex was basically the same as the fabric printed using commercial binder.
