Study on the Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Yak Fiber

Abstract:

As a special animal fiber, yak hair has many excellent properties, such as soft feeling, good elasticity, gentle glossy and excellent warmth retention performance, therefore, it has very high industrial value, and can be used as high-grade raw materials in the woolen industry. In this paper, the fineness, length, curl and surface morphology of Yak fiber were analyzed, and mechanical and tensile properties with the different conditions were discussed and compared.
