The Turkish textile industry holds a relatively important position in the world and thus plays a major role in Turkey’s exports. Energy consumption is important for the textile industry in Turkey because it is the largest export sector. Energy usage in the textile industry in Turkey is inefficient, and energy consumption has been growing very rapidly due to population growth, rapid urbanization...

BACKGROUND The textile industry is one of the largest employers in Lithuania. IARC monograph concludes that working in the textile manufacturing industry entails exposures that are possibly carcinogenic to humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate risk of lung cancer incidence in textile industry workers by the type of job and evaluate the relation between occupational textile dusts ...

Textile composites are widely used in automotive, naval, and aerospace industries. The variation of the topology of the textile structure will affect the performance of the composite. The yarn micro-geometry is determined by 1) the textile process, such as weaving, braiding, etc. and 2) the composite forming process, such as vacuum bagging, resin transfer molding, etc. In this paper, we present...

As landfill costs rise, so does the pressure to increase recycling of nonhazardous waste. A study was conducted to determine the attitudes of textile manufacturers towards market acceptance of recycling textile fibers into new textile products. A questionnaire elicited responses from 90 of 157 manufacturers in seven textile Standard Industrial Codes (SICS) in North Carolina, including small, me...

In a Least Developed Country (LDC) like Bangladesh where the textile is the main core of the economy, there is a major drawback in this sector which is the defect detection of the fabric. In the manual fault detection system with highly trained inspectors, very less percentage of the defects is being detected in upon fabrics in the textile industries. But a real time automatic system can increa...

Textile effluents are among the most difficult-to-treat wastewaters, due to their considerable amount of recalcitrant and toxic substances. Fungal biosorption is viewed as a valuable additional treatment for removing pollutants from textile wastewaters. In this study the efficiency of Cunninghamella elegans biomass in terms of contaminants, COD and toxicity reduction was tested against textile ...

Many electronic textile (e-textile) applications require a stretchable basis, best achieved through knitted textiles. Ideally, conductive structures can be directly integrated during the knitting process. This study evaluates influence of several and material parameters on resistance tracks after process durability testing. The speed proves to little influence, while type thread used, as well p...

The internal structure and mechanics of the fibre materials, such as yarn or woven textile, are highly complex. Exploring is an essential step in material engineering either from experimental computational point view. In this study, a new method to extract geometrical morphological parameters structures proposed. benefits standard image analysis machine learning technique efficiently segments m...

The research for objectifying the handle of textile fabrics is a very important factor in the textile and garment manufacturing and retailing industries. Handle is influenced by mechanical properties of textile fabrics and the surface roughness. The KES-F system is standard objectified method among different measurement methods. But the measurement of surface roughness applied the KES-F which i...

Water contamination with large amounts of industrial textile coloured effluents is an environmental concern. For the treatment of textile effluents, white-rot fungi have received extensive attention due to their powerful capability to produce oxidative (e.g., ligninolytic) enzymes. In addition, other groups of fungi, such as species of Aspergillus and Trichoderma, have also been used for textil...
