Fundamental Characteristics of Wheat Protein Composite Fiber

Abstract:

Wheat protein composite fiber is a kind of new regenerated cellulose fiber containing protein utilization of wheat bran prepared. The fundamental characteristics of wheat protein composite fiber were studied. The results show that the dry fracture strength is 2.03 cN/dtex and it is lower than that of viscose fiber. It has high moisture regain and low fracture strength and the moisture regain of the fiber is 12.23%. The whiteness of wheat protein composite fiber is lower than viscose fiber. The combustion performance of wheat protein composite fiber is similar to viscose fiber. Compared with wool, the combustion performance is easy. Dyeing properties of the fiber with reactive dyes is excellent and the goods have bright color and good color fastness. The dyeing percentage of direct dyes reached to 90%. The wheat protein composite fiber product is deeply liked by people with its good wearing property, and extensively applied to wear base material with its fine affinity.
