Abstract

In the present study, the application of Box and Behnken Factorial design to Optimize Splicing Process is demonstrated. Pneumatic splicing was examined for various Open-end yarns from cotton/polyester blends, regarding different yarn linear density, twist multiplier and fiber blend composition. Also, some parameters concerning the operating condition of the pneumatic splicing, namely lever position and twisting air pressure, were studied and their effect on the retention properties are obtained. The strength and elongation retention of spliced yarns compared to the normal open- end yarns are discussed.
