Abstract
This research will provide statistical forecasting models for the relationship between the production process and biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic co-polyester fibre properties. Spin draw ratio, birefringence, drawability, die head pressure, crystallographic order as full-width half-maximum, count, tensile properties, diameter, and thermal shrinkage was tested, analyzed and modeled using factorial experimental designs. Appropriate statistical methods were applied, and a model for specifying the direction of increasing or decreasing of the significant process parameters was identified. A statistical forecasting program was typically designed for optimizing fibers extrusion processes using Microsoft Visual Basic program, and then the predicted and calculated results were evaluated. The main goal of current research is to give basics for the novel optimization approach, and how these novel modeling methodologies will help polymer designers in making the best experimental decision, saving the power, the time and the cost. The statistical models and designed programs are important for controlling the production process to enhance fibre properties. The produced fibres could be used for different textile applications, as an alternative to commercial chemical fibres at reasonable cost.
Highlights
Natural-based textiles are nearly 100% recyclable; recycling in biopolymer textiles allow environmental protection, energy and resource saving
Characterization and modelling include the production of semi-finished filaments, followed by more post-processes, in order to achieve a power-and materialsaving production plan and forecasting models for the novel
Implementation of forecasting statistical methods plays a major role in creating a planning program and a plan for the production process regression
Summary
Natural-based textiles are nearly 100% recyclable; recycling in biopolymer textiles allow environmental protection, energy and resource saving. Many scientists have worked to produce and develop new biodegradable polymers to be used in commercial products, such as textiles, ball-point pens, toothbrushes, bulk packaging, fishing lines, tennis racquet strings and wrapping paper... Environment friendly polymers are based on petroleum, agricultural or animal sources [1, 2], and offer a practical solution for the economy [3, 4], and used in many fields such as tissue culturing, biomedical, agriculture, food and textiles [5, 6]. The development of biodegradable aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters (AAC) started with different modes of degradation [7, 8]. Several AACs have been developed during the last 20 years [9, 10], and a successful future is promised for the low product cost and the excellent properties [11, 12]
