Scanning Electron Microscopy Study of the Deformation of Staple Yarns: Cotton,Polyester,and Cotton-Polyester Blends

Abstract

The deformation of staple cotton, polyester, and cotton/polyester blend yarns has been studied in a small tensile device placed in a scanning electron microscope. The mechanics of failure of the different yarns are considered.
