Funded Activity Summary

Understanding the Drafting-against-Untwisting Process for Engineering Fine and Soft Yarns of Low Hairiness. This research will lead to much improved understanding of a very novel yarn engineering process to achieve fine, soft and low-hairiness yarns from natural fibres. It will demonstrate that Australia not only provides quality wool and cotton fibres, but also leads the world in innovative textile engineering technologies that can enhance the competitive positions of its natural fibres in the global fibre market. This research promotes value adding in Australian fibre products by developing advanced yarn engineering technology, which will be of significant national benefit to the multi-billion natural fibre industries in Australia.
