- Abstract
The research is focused on the influence of the fire resistant modacrylic (MAC) fibres in the ring-spun yarn mixture with cotton (CO) fibres and of the conductive metal fibres (MTF) in the ring-spun yarn mixture with polyester (PES) fibres on the mechanical properties in the region of lower loads. Analysed yarns are intended for the protective clothing production (fire resistant and electrically conductive clothing). The viscoelastic behavior of yarns in the field of lower loads under the specific stress/extension curve which amounts to 5 cN/tex, reaching the weight of 85 g.The results of the research show that the incorporation of MAC fibres in the yarn from the mixture of 55% MAC/45% Cofibres increases the region of elastic deformations (the stress and extension in the yield point), on the other side the MAC fibres in the yarn mixture decrease the elasticity modulus level. The incorporation of MTF (stainless steli) fibres in the yarn mixture consisting of 75% PES/25% MTF decreases the region of elastic deformations (about 10%), however the region of elastic deformations lies very close to the chosen stress value under the specific stress/extension curve - 5 cN/tex or 85 g.
