Synchrotron-based 3D μ-CT for cotton yarn imaging research
The distribution and transfer behavior of fibers within yarns has garnered significant research interest.Synchrotron radiation three-dimensional(3D)micro X-ray computed tomography(μ-XCT)is known for its strong penetration and high resolution and is used to visualize the internal structures of objects.In this study,a cotton yarn(ring-spun cotton yarn)was scanned,then reconstructed using 3D printing,visualized,and trimmed using the AI-assisted segmentation module in the Avizo software.The results showed that the sub-micrometer-resolution 3D microscopic imaging of cotton yarn could be achieved.This can be used to acquire the structural features of the yarn and its fiber transfer characteristics.A comprehensive understanding of the structure and performance of yarns was developed,providing valuable information for optimizing cotton yarn production and improving yarn quality and performance.
