Abstract
Worldwide demand of natural-based products is rapidly increasing due to the depletion of petroleum products and con-cerns about sustainability. This study presents jute (JU) based yarns by blending polypropylene (PP) to expand the diversi-fied uses of jute products. A novel approach in the JU spinning system blended Bangla White D grade JU fiber and PP with a linear density of 6 denier at 100/0, 80/20, 70/30, and 60/40 % (JU/PP) ratios at the breaker card machine. With a constant 8 lbs/spyndle (275 tex) linear density for all yarns were produced from JU yarn production line, and yarn properties were determined at different blend ratios of jute and polypropylene. In comparison to 100% reference JU yarn, blended yarns became stronger, had a higher elongation percentage, lower-end breakage rate, and higher quality ratio. The study also revealed that, coefficient of variance of yarn twist deteriorated with the higher percentages of polypropylene in the blend-ed yarns. Test results were evaluated statistically with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and found significant differ-ences among different blend ratios of yarns.
