Resistance to compression behavior of alpaca and wool
journal contribution
posted on 2004-01-01, 00:00 authored by Xin LiuXin Liu, Lijing Wang, Xungai WangThis study compares the resistance to compression behavior of wool and alpaca fibers. It shows that alpaca fibers have a much lower resistance to compression than wool, and there is little correlation between the resistance to compression and the curvature for alpaca fibers. Yet for wool fibers, the correlation between resistance to compression and curvature is very strong and positive. The differences in fiber curvature and scale profiles of alpaca and wool, together with the test method for resistance to compression, may explain their different resistances to compression.
