The Effect of Blend Composition on the Properties of Bamboo/Polyester Yarns

This paper presents a study of hybrid effects on the mechanical properties of bamboo/polyester blended
yarns. Most of the interactions are found to be negative and insignificant. Neps and yarn friction show positive
interaction. Linear regression analysis is also found to be good in predicting the properties. Addition of polyester fibre to
blends has led to an improvement of properties.
