To increase the themosensitive behavior and antibacterial activity of cotton fabric, a series of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)/chitosan (PNIPAAm/Cs) hydrogels was synthesized by interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) technology using a redox initiator. The IPN PNIPAAm/Cs hydrogel was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and th...

In this work, the quality of four plain single jersey weft-knitted fabrics (produced from same flax yarn) having different structural characteristics (stitch density, weight, and thickness) before after pilling, was examined. The knitted evaluated in terms their compression (compressibility, thickness loss, compressive resilience), comfort (air permeability water retention), strength (bursting ...

This paper presents the design, fabrication and characterization of a flexible solidstate electrical double layer supercapacitor fabricated in a single fabric layer. The proposed supercapacitors were based on fabric electrodes fabricated with low cost carbon materials via a spray coating technique. The single layer solid state supercapacitors achieved a specific capacitances of 40.5 F.g, area c...

The problem of unpredictable shrinkage of cotton knitted fabrics and garments faced by the industry has been investigated by knitting single jersey cotton fabrics using the similar yarn and knitting parameters as used in the industry and finishing them. Through linear regression analysis, the variable factors, which affect the shrinkage and should be included in the domain of the quality contro...

In recent years, studies have focused on the development of fire retardant products that are produced without use flame retardants with toxic effects and do not harmful humans environment. this work, it has been compared properties some biodegradable fibers obtained from different sources. It is important to investigate performance textile surfaces renewable for improve their usage possibilitie...

100% grey cotton knitted fabric contains impurities and yellowness and needs to be prepared for processing to make it suitable for coloration and finishing. Therefore, conventionally 100% grey cotton knitted fabric undergoes a process of scouring and bleaching, which involves the use of large amounts of water and chemicals, in order to remove impurities and yellowness. Due to increased environm...

The Sphereprint is introduced as a means to characterize hemispherical conformability, even when buckling occurs, in a variety of flexible materials such as papers, textiles, nonwovens, films, membranes, and biological tissues. Conformability is defined here as the ability to fit a doubly curved surface without folding. Applications of conformability range from the fit of a wound dressing, arti...
