The usability of Rutile type nano-TiO2 as the auxiliary in sizing was investigated in order to improve the quality of kapokblended yarn. First, TiO2 with different quality was added to the traditional size, and four kinds of kapok blended yarnswere starched. Then, the strength, elongation, abrasion resistance and hairiness of the sized yarns were tested. Finally,the effect of TiO2 content on the performance of the yarn was analyzed. The results demonstrate that using TiO2 assizing agent is favorable to the increase in strength, loss in elongation, abrasion resistance and hairiness of sized yarns.And, when the ratio of TiO2 to starch is 1.5%, the properties of the sized yarn are excellent.
