Wuhan Textile First Creates Synthetic Clothing Fibers In Hubei

"It can be mass produced in the laboratory, and has completed the pilot test, but no Hubei enterprise is concerned about it." recently, Professor Wang Xun, the new dean of the textile School of Wuhan Textile University, regretted the cold spell of the synthetic fiber technology pioneered in the world.

Synthetic fiber technology is "let natural fiber and Man-made fiber Integration into a new synthetic fiber. Why do we need to make synthetic fibers? Wang Xun introduced that the clothes made of natural fibers, such as wool, are comfortable and tough, but man-made fiber fabrics such as chemical fibers are strong, but airtight and moisture free.

In 2002, Wang Xun and Xu Weilin, a Wuhan Textile University, studied how to complement and optimize the performance of natural fibers and artificial fibers. "Making synthetic fibers requires more than 200 degrees Celsius, but wool and other natural fibers are hard to withstand over 100 degrees Celsius. This is a difficult problem for the industry. "

The research team of Wuhan Textile University has been successful for many years, and they have succeeded in grinding natural fibers such as wool, silk, feather and pearl into ultra-fine powder, with an average particle size of about 1 microns, and maintaining the properties of raw materials. At the same time, we have developed equipment and technology for processing such materials at room temperature.

The world's first achievement is to make some obsolete wool. silk And other leftovers can also be applied. It is reported that the project was completed in a pilot enterprise in Beijing. In 2008, the Wuhan Textile University declared the "high quality natural polymer material ultrafine powder and its high value added reuse" project, and won the two prize of national scientific and technological invention.

" Synthetic fiber With a good market prospect, the investment in related equipment is about 5 million yuan. Wang Xun should say that natural fiber yarn needs more than 20 processes, grinding into powder and then forming yarn, with only two processes. "Hubei enterprises do not take into account new technologies." Xu Weilin, one of the heads of the project, said: "the technology has been applied to an enterprise in Jiangsu, and a Shandong enterprise is being tried out."

In recent years, a number of major achievements have been made in Wuhan Textile University, most of which are first applied in provinces with developed textile industries, such as Shandong and Jiangsu.
