Tue, 01 Dec 1981 00:00:00 GMT

Title: Variation of Thickness along the Length of Wool Fibre Authors: Patni, P C; Parthasarathy, S; Bapna, D L Abstract: Variation of thickness along the length of wool fibre has been studied in Rambouillet, Chokla and Rambouillet x Chokla (FI) sheep wools. The fibre diameter varies only with the breed and the variation within a fibre of a particular breed is not statistically significant at any portion. Page(s): 171

Variability of Fibre Fineness and Moisture Regain in Agmark Graded Wool

Tue, 01 Dec 1981 00:00:00 GMT

Title: Variability of Fibre Fineness and Moisture Regain in Agmark Graded Wool Authors: Arora, R K; Pokharna, A K; Bapna, D L; Singh, V P Abstract: The variability of fibre fineness and moisture regain has been studied in some wool samples drawn from different bales of the same lot and between different lots. It is observed that the effect of lots is significant on medullation and moisture regain and that of bales and sides on diameter. Page(s): 169-170

Effect of Processing Variables on Benzoylation of Jute

Tue, 01 Dec 1981 00:00:00 GMT

Title: Effect of Processing Variables on Benzoylation of Jute Authors: Chatterjee, S M Abstract: The effect of various process variables on the benzoylation of jute has been studied. It has been observed that the extent of benzoylation of jute increases progressively with increase in the concentration of benzoyl chloride, reaction temperature and reaction period. It is also influenced by the reacting medium and pretreatment of the material. Although initially the yarn samples behave differently in comparison to the treated fibre, the differences are eliminated with longer durations of reaction. A suitable method for benzoylation of jute, especially in the fibrous form, is proposed. Page(s): 165-168

Effect of Storage on the Quality of Wool: Part II-Urea-Bisulphite Solubility of Stored Wools

Title: Effect of Storage on the Quality of Wool: Part II-Urea-Bisulphite Solubility of Stored Wools Authors: Malhi, R S; Bapna, D L; Patni, P C Abstract: The effect of temperature, relative humidity and storage period on the urea-bisulphite solubility of Rambouillet, Rambouillet (50%) × Chokla (50%), Chokla and Malpura sheep wools has been studied. It is observed that the effect of storage period is significant and that of temperature and relative humidity is insignificant for most of the wools in greasy and scoured forms. Page(s): 159-164
