Textured Yarn Woven Fobrics

Predicting conducting yarn failure in woven electronic textiles

Smart, electronic textiles are often exposed to tensile stress which can lead to fracture of the interwoven conducting yarns. In this study, a model is proposed to relate the extensibility of the conducting yarns to the weaving pattern of the textile – in particular to the thickness and pitch of the textile yarns. The model is validated by simultaneous mechanical and electrical tests on bare ya...

Effect of Yarn Twist on Young’s Modulus of Fully-green Composites Reinforced with Ramie Woven Fabrics

INTRODUCTION Today, development of materials technology using biomass is expected for creation of a sustainable society. Especially, the composite consisting of plant-based natural fibers and biodegradable resin, so-called the fully-green composites, is much expected for practical use. So far, we made textile green composites using biodegradable resin and plain woven ramie fabric and explored t...

Investigation of the Tearing Performance of Fabrics with Various Constructions, Woven from Different Yarn Spinning Systems

Bending and Compression Behaviour of Polyester Air-jet-textured and Cotton-yarn Fabrics

Air-jet-textured polyester yarns were produced using two feed yarns differing in filament fineness and number of filaments. By varying the yarn overfeed, filament fineness and air pressure, four textured yarns were produced. Woven fabrics were prepared using these textured yarns as weft and cotton yarns in warp. To study the effect of air-jet-texturing parameters on the bending and compression ...

Evaluating Pile Yarn Characteristics in Hand Woven Carpet using Stress-Strain Behavior in Compression

Many factors such as production methods and structural parameters have distinctive influence on the quality and performance of a hand woven carpet. To investigate the effects of some variables, eighteen samples of carpet vary, in knot density, pile height and percentage of slipe wool, were manufactured. Pile yarn performance was assessed by using load-displacement compression curve, obtained fr...
