Grosberg & K.H. Ho, as the paper which I believe to have had the most profound impact on my teaching and research and had a significant role in the understanding of Rotor Spinning which enabled this technology to be developed into high-speed spinning machines. The paper represents the culmination of several years of research carried out by several students under the supervision of the late Prof. Percy Grosberg in the Department of Textile Industries at the University of Leeds. This relatively short paper describes a novel experimental approach to obtaining a better understanding of the fundamentals of yarn formation in rotor spinning and clearly indicates the fact the twist inside a rotor is substantially different from the twist in the final yarn. The implications of this finding are far reaching, since it explains the impact of both machine (in particular navel design) and fiber parameters on the spinnability and yarn quality of rotor spinning technology. While the reported study had specific limitations, the results clearly show that the interaction of the yarn with the navel results in a false twisting action that produces a higher twist inside the rotor. This higher twist inside the rotor results in a longer yarn formation zone and hence leads to better spinning stability, however excessive twist can result in exaggerated yarn formation zones which dramatically increase the formation of unwanted wrapper fibers and negative changes to the internal structure of the final yarn. The importance of these findings became apparent as higher speed rotor spinning machines were being developed and in particular attempts at processing synthetic fibers on these machines. This resulted in several student research projects and collaborative research with fiber producers and machinery makers, which utilized the experimental approach reported in the paper as a tool for optimizing navel design and fiber parameters, in particular fiber crimp and finish. Percy Grosberg was a true gentleman and an outstanding researcher whose interests spanned all areas of textiles. He published over fifty papers in the Journal of the Textile Institute and had numerous other papers in other journals and conference proceedings, and authored (co-authored) several textbooks. I was fortunate to be mentored by him during my early years as a lecturer and tried to emulate his approach to research and teaching, interacting with students, and respectfully collaborating with other faculty and staff.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Oxenham, William}, year={2023}, month={Jun}, pages={915–915} }

The topical finishes include commercially available ionic antistatic finishes, one commercially available hydrophilic finish, and a new experimental moisture management finish. The fabrics were rubbed against surface of steel and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE; Teflon®) and their frictional electrification and charge dissipation were monitored. It is shown that fabrics from cotton have a more rapid inherent charge decay than fabrics from polyester. Ionic antistatic finishes are shown to be effective in reducing charge generation and promoting charge decay and this is particularly true for the fabrics made from filament polyester. When commercially available and experimental hydrophilic finishes were applied on fabrics made from filament polyester, less charge was generated and the generated charge decayed quickly compared to the control untreated fabrics. In an attempt to understand the mechanism of charge decay, two probes were used with one placed on the top of the rubbed area and the other placed some distance from the rubbed area. It was found that the generated charge migrated from the rubbed areas to other parts of the sample. This behavior is more pronounced for fabrics treated with hydrophilic and moisture management finishes, which cause the charge to decay exponentially.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Jasti, Vamsi K. and Seyam, Abdel-Fattah M. and Oxenham, William and Theyson, Thomas}, year={2019}, month={Mar}, pages={338–348} }

The wireless sensor can be used as an active monitoring tool for measuring online yarn tension in both component yarns, while the closed loop control system replaces passive yarn brakes used in the current direct cabling machines and executes a control mechanism that can control yarn tension adaptively. The device uses Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology with radio frequency (RF) transmission to effectively carry out dynamic online measurement. The control system in conjunction with the wireless sensor ensures equal tension in the component yarns, resulting in the formation of a uniform cabled yarn with equal lengths of both yarns.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE TEXTILE INSTITUTE}, author={Shankam, V.

To measure the variation in compression force during a test, a full-bridge load cell was developed. It was seen that the signal coming from the strain gauges was superimposed with noise. The source of the noise was both electrical and mechanical. An extensive mathematical analysis of mechanical noise and the application of a mechanical noise-reduction technique minimized the mechanical noise component. An analysis of electrical noise showed that the motion control card was interfacing with the data acquisition (DAQ) card via both the RS232 and the ac power line. It was necessary to separate the motion control unit and the DAQ unit to eliminate the electrical noise problem present in the system. After eliminating the noise from the unit, the calibration of the strain gauges has been performed. The coefficient of correlation was found to be 1.00 with a cubic model. It was possible to differentiate the differences between the surface characteristics of different fibers.}, number={12}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT}, author={Yueksekkaya, Mehmet Emin and Oxenham, William and Tercan, Mevlut}, year={2008}, month={Dec}, pages={2885–2890} }

The intention was to assess the frictional characteristics from measurements carried out on fibre ‘bundles’ rather than individual fibres since this should lead to information that is more meaningful in the prediction of processing performance and quality. The technique adapted is based on a sensitive compression test. Developing a technique for assessing the stick-slip characteristics of fibres can be used by cotton suppliers and spinners to provide data that can be used to optimise bale selection and to indicate fibres that may present processing difficulties.

The goal of this study is to explore inexpensive methods to detect warp breaks using nontraditional technique that would pave the way to automate warp break repair. To achieve the goal, a system that can detect warp breaks using MEMS accelerometers as sensors was developed for Jacquard weaving. The MEMS accelerometers were mounted on harness cords of a Jacquard tie. MEMS output acceleration signals components in the vertical and horizontal directions were analysed using time and frequency domains.

High nozzle angle, high nozzle pressure, low yarn delivery speed and small spindle diameter reduced hairiness as well. High nozzle angle, high nozzle pressure and low speed also led to higher fiber migration. Surprisingly nozzle angle, nozzle pressure or delivery speed did not have any significant effects on yarn tensile properties. This is believed to be caused by the relatively small differences between the levels of these parameters used in the trials.

Filament yarn motion in different regions of the texturing nozzle during dry and wet texturing was analyzed. During the study it was found that water acted as lubricant to reduce friction between the filaments in the wet texturing process as the filament yarn traveled through the nozzle enabling easier relative motion of the filaments resulting in enhanced entanglement. Wet texturing also reduced spin finish on the yarn surface, which in turn, caused an increase in static friction between the filaments of the textured yarn resulting in better fixing of the loops and consequently superior yarns. }, number={2}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Acar, M and Bilgin, S and Versteeg, HK and Dani, N and Oxenham, W}, year={2006}, month={Feb}, pages={116–125} }

Specifically, focus will be given to the issue of specialization as a result of trade; to explain how the specialization advocated by trade economists relates to niche markets in the US textile and apparel industry; to illustrate how traditional marketing methods differ from niche marketing; and to examine what role niche markets will play in the US textile and apparel industry in 2005. The results of this research study will aid in the formulation of a business strategy that can by utilized to capitalize on niche markets and will provide a research framework for global textile researchers.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management}, author={Parrish, E.

This study quantifies the mechanical behavior of a fiber during crimp removal. Single fiber tensile tests are performed on various fibers using a Textechno Favimat. Simultaneously, crimp removal is optically monitored. A methodology is developed to identify the true crimp removal region of the fiber load-extension curve during a tensile test. A mechanical model accounting for the nonlinear load-deflection behavior during crimp removal is also developed. }, number={4}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Bauer-Kurz, I and Oxenham, W and Shiffler, DA}, year={2004}, month={Apr}, pages={343–350} }

Results show that the ring spun yam exhibits the highest fiber migration, followed by rotor spun yam, and friction spun yam with the least. A higher migration factor corresponds with a higher yam breaking tenacity. An analysis of packing density shows that the fibers for the rotor yam are located most densely near the yam center, while the friction yam has the highest density of fibers near the yam surface. The ring spun yam has a moderately uniform distribution of fiber packing density. The experimental results on fiber arrangement near the yam axis show that the friction spun yam has the highest rupture elongation due to the skewed arrangement of fibers around the yam axis. Yam hairiness strongly depends on mean fiber position, with an inward shifting of the packing density leading to low yam hairiness. }, number={2}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Huh, Y and Kim, YR and Oxenham, W}, year={2002}, month={Feb}, pages={156–163} }

This is followed by trials to determine whether a passive false-twist unit (spiral) can be used to impart temporary strength to assist the transfer of sliver from a supply can to the next processing machine. The generated level of false twist is studied, and the spiral is subsequently used on a roving frame to process different sliver weights at various drafts. The experiments show that false-twist can offer a potential technique for dealing with low strength and lightweight cotton slivers.
