FT3201 Fibre Science Syllabus:

FT3201 Fibre Science Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVE

 To enable the students to learn about the types of fibre and its properties

UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO TEXTILE FIBRES

Definition of various forms of textile fibres – staple fibre, filament, bicomponent fibres. Classification of Natural and Man-made fibres, essential and desirable properties of Fibres. Production and cultivation of Natural Fibers: Cotton, Silk, Wool -Physical and chemical structure of the above fibres.

UNIT II REGENERATED FIBRES

Production Sequence of Regenerated Cellulosic fibres: Viscose Rayon, Acetate rayon – High wet modulus fibres: Modal and Lyocel ,Tencel

UNIT III SYNTHEITC FIBRES

Production Sequence of Synthetic Fibers: polymer-Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic and polypropylene. Mineral fibres: fibre glass ,carbon .Introduction to spin finishes and texturization

UNIT IV SPECIALITY FIBRES

Properties and end uses of high tenacity and high modulus fibres, high temperature and flame retardant fibres, Chemical resistant fibres

UNIT V FUNCTIONAL SPECIALITY FIBRES

Properties and end uses : Fibres for medical application – Biodegradable fibres based on PLA ,Super absorbent fibres elastomeric fibres, ultra-fine fibres, electrospun nano fibres, metallic fibres – Gold and Silver coated.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
