Course content
Lectures: 1. Fiber and fiber assemblies. Basic quantities and relations describing fibers and general fiber assemblies. (Fiber fineness, cross-section, equivalent diameter, shape factor, specific surface, packing density and its interpretations, etc.) 2. Fiber and fiber assemblies. Mean fiber parameters in multi-componential fiber assemblies (blends). 3. Fiber and fiber assemblies. Porosity and pores among fibers. Equivalent pore diameter in general fiber assemblies, length of pores, pores with a constant shape factor, pores with a constant length, empirically generalized pores. 4. Fiber and fiber assemblies. Tenacity of fiber bundle from two components, "linear theory of blending", conditions of straining of fiber assembly. 5. Yarn and multifilament. Basic quantities and relations (fineness, substance cross-section and substance diameter, yarn diameter, number of fibers in cross-section and coefficient kn, twist intensity, twist factors). 6. Yarn and multifilament. Relation among yarn fineness, twist and diameter. Koechlin's theory and its empirical generalization. 7. Yarn and multifilament. Geometry of helical yarn model. (Helical and ideal helical model, number of fibers in cross-section and coefficient kn for different technologies, yarn retraction, derivation of saturated twist and twist of the second order.) 8.

Learning outcomes
The subject follows the basic subject Textile Technology 1. Students will be acquainted with basic quantities and relations which are valid in textile fiber assemblies: fibers and its blends, fiber bundles, linear fiber assemblies - multifilaments and yarns, and areal textiles - woven and knitted products. Within practices - students rearrange resulting equations from lectures to the suitable physical dimensions, apply it, and so they obtain the basic image about order of values of quantities. Students obtain also other information about technological relations.
Ability to understand behavior of fiber structures and ability for utilization of their specific properties.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, and textile technologies within the range of forgoing study program.
