The Industry Research Group\u00a0(IRG) is a cooperation between companies, which are interested in basic research on application-related topics, and the ITA. The idea is to systematically address technological, economical and strategic issues in the field of melt spinning.<\/p>\n
The melt spinning process contains many variables that could be altered in order to have an effect on the final quality of the fiber. It is important to not only understand these different parameters, but also\u00a0to be able to tailor and optimize the spinning process so specific fiber properties can be realized.<\/p>\n
Short-term Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to achieve this long term goal, the IRG Meltspinning\u00a0has outlined short- and mid-term goals. In the first two years, we hope to develop a basis model for a multifilament spinning process. This will be constructed\u00a0based on current state-of-the-art monofilament models. The multifilament model will then be validated using a reproducible melt spinning process and validation equipment.<\/p>\n Mid-term Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n By the end of the fourth year,\u00a0the developed multifilament basis model will be inversely interpreted.\u00a0This\u00a0allows the yarn properties, material properties and model parameters to act as the input variables and process parameters to act as the output variables. Again, this model will be validated using a reproducible melt spinning process.<\/p>\n Long-term Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n The last four years of the project will consist of the final development of the self-optimizing melt spinning process. The initial yarn properties will be input into the model determining the process parameters of the model. The structural\u00a0properties\u00a0of the yarn will then be compared online with the required properties. This will result in property deviations that determine the modification of the process parameters.<\/p>\n These goals\u00a0will be reached\u00a0with the\u00a0cooperation of researchers,\u00a0the facilities, and knowledge of ITA as well as the expertise, support and guidance of industry members.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Members<\/strong><\/p>\n Members of the IRG represent important industry sectors, as for example:<\/p>\n Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n The annual membership fee amounts to \u20ac 7.500,- per year and includes:<\/p>\n Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n Research<\/p>\n Market<\/p>\n Network<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are links\u00a0to some publications about the IRG Meltspinning project:<\/p>\n\n
