ABSTRACT IN connexion with the measurement of frictional characters of jute fibre (a full report of which will be published elsewhere) by allowing a fibre pad on a metal block to slide over
another the inclination of which could be increased gradually, the following results on the effect of relative humidity on the coefficient of friction (μ)—fibres sliding parallel to one
another—were obtained: The samples were conditioned in desiccators over appropriate solutions for seven days or more, and were tested for friction when the room conditions were at about the
corresponding relative humidities. As in the case of other textile materials1,2, between 40 and 80 per cent relative humidity, the coefficient of friction of jute fibre appears to increase
approximately linearly with relative humidity. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
