The article “Analysis of the Modeling Methodologies for Predicting the Strength of Air-Jet Spun Yarns” (Textile Res. J., 1997: 39–44) reported on a study carried out to relate yarn tenacity (y, in g/tex) to yarn count (x1, in tex), percentage polyester (x2), first nozzle pressure (x3, in kg/cm2), and second nozzle pressure (x4, in kg/cm2). The estimate of the constant term in the corresponding multiple regression equation was 6.121. The estimated coefficients for the four predictors were −.082, .113, .256, and −.219, respectively, and the coefficient of multiple determination was .946.

- Wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength are the two most important characteristics for evaluating the performance of crosslinked cotton fabric. An increase in the degree of crosslinking, as determined by ester carboxyl band absorbance, improves the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (at the expense of reducing mechanical strength).
