Abstract

In this article, the viscosity characteristics of rice starch, and synthetic size such as acrylate, PVA, and their mix in different ratios is investigated. The properties of warp beam yarns sized with different sizing agents were studied to find out the relationship between yarn properties and sizing agent viscosity. It was found that the yam properties are highly correlated to viscosity and sizing material used. Beside the superior strength properties and resistance to abrasion of the synthetic sizing agent, the viscosity is an important factor to achieve suitable encapsulation and limited penetration.
