Five G. barbadense species obtained from Egypt (Dendara, and Gizas 75, 76, 77, and 80),
one American G. barbadense cotton (Pima S-5), and one American G. hirsutum cotton …

The fatigue behaviour of natural fibres is important for fibre processing efficiency as well as
the properties and performance of products made from these fibres. This chapter presents …

We have determined the effect of dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU) on the
tensile properties, brittleness, and flex fatigue properties of cotton fibers before and after …

Although fibers are subject to complex deformations during processing and end use, most
research has concentrated on tensile properties. We have extended our studies to include …

applied to cotton fibers [5], has now been shown to be sensitive to modifications in wool fiber
structure. From the data, it appears that AW has a flex life greater than that of PTW under all …

Flexural bending fatigue of raw, mercerized, and sodium chlorite (Textone) bleached jute
fiber was studied. Mercerized jute fiber could withstand a greater number of flex cycles …

At the lower temperature range employed, the flex life at 51% and 65g6 RH were essentially
the same and larger than their values at 30% RH. At 50 C, there was a progressive increase …

This paper provides an overview of the properties of natural and synthetic fibers which are
used for conveyor belt carcass, as well as the influence of different types of loads on material …
