Abstract
In this study, the effects of different fiber cross-sectional shapes and yarn linear density values on Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) and textured yarn characteristics have been examined. In experiment, five different cross-sectional shapes, namely round, trilobal, tetra, hexsa and octolobal and two different linear densities have been used and tenacityelongation, crimp and shrinkage tests have been applied to the yarns. As a result, the round and octolobal crosssectional shapes lead to yarn formation with high tenacity and breaking elongation, on the other hand trilobal and hexsa cause low tenacity and breaking elongation. The round cross-section has provided yarn formation with high crimp and low shrinkage, the hexsa and tetra cross-sectional shapes have caused lower crimp and high shrinkage. It was also observed that the increase in the linear density has caused a decrease in yarn tenacity, however this has increased the crimp and shrinkage behaviours of the yarns.
