Title: Research on graft modification of short-staple flax and its spinnability
Abstract: Short-staple flax was graft modified by redox system consisted of sodium thiosulphate and ammonium persulfate as initiator and acrylic as monomer. The modified flax was characterized by infrared spectrum. Influences of reaction temperature, time, dosage of initiator and monomer concentration on grafting rate of flax and grafting efficiency of monomer were discussed. The splitting degree of the grafted fiber is improved by 204 Nm, and breaking strength is reduced by 1.27 cN/tex. The process of the graft modification with acrylic is demonstrated to be slightly harmful to short-staple flax via performance tests. This process is also able to enhance the spinnability of the short-staple flax, leading to the improvement of the spinning performance.
