  Abstract

The objective of this study is to reduce the gloss of thick denier PET yarn. Pure PET yarn exhibits considerable shine. Since wig fiber is thicker than clothing fiber, it is not easy to reduce the gloss. In this study, three types of inorganic particles, namely, TiO2, SiO2, and talc were added to the PET yarn to test the tendency of gloss reduction. Moreover, the gloss variation was tested according to the cross section of the fiber, the spinning temperature, and the draw ratio. Owing to the addition of the particles, the crystallization of PET was promoted and the crystallization of talc was exceedingly rapid. The manufactured yarn with the added TiO2 was the least glossy. The gloss of the fiber decreased in the following order: star shape > circular shape > peanut shape. The spinning temperature had no effect on the gloss, however, the gloss of the fiber increased as the draw ratio increased.
