Study on the usage of palm fibers for luggage produce

Abstract

The main purpose of this dissertation is to create more values of palm fibers by transform it into the luggage by the process in the following details .First, separate the palm fibers from the seed. Second, clean the palm fibers by cleaned water. Third, spinning process. Fabric with 3 structures are woven into Plain Weave 1×1, Twill weave 2×1 and Basket weave 2×2. Each fabric has 3 different levels of weft yarn density. All fabrics are tested in order to reveal the physical properties.
The results show is that Plain Weave 1×1 has the best abrasion resistance, Twill weave 2×1 has the best tearing strength and Basket weave 2×2 has the best tensile strength. The result also reveals that the Plain Weave 1×1 with 20 weft pick/ 1 inch is the most appropriate yarn to produce luggage because it has the best abrasion resistance which is the most important property for the fabric to produce luggage.
