In the manufacture of yarn, predicting the effect of changing production conditions is vital to reducing defects in the end product. This study compares, for the first time, non-linear regression and artificial neural network (ANN) models in predicting 10 yarn properties shaped by the influence of winding speed, quenching air temperature and/or quenching air speed during production. A multilaye...

Aiming at demonstrating the potential of unidirectional natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites in structural applications, textile flax yarn/thermoplastic polyester composites with variable fiber volume fractions have been manufactured by a filament-winding process followed by a vacuum-assisted compression molding process. The microstructure of the composites shows that the flax fibe...

The mechanical behavior of 3D multi-layered braided composite tubes was analyzed using a multi-scale modelling approach. Considering the braiding parameters and the fiber volume fraction of the composite tubes, firstly a unit-cell of the composites was determined based on the motion of yarn carriers and modeled using TEXGEN software. The unit-cell was imported into finite element software to ca...

Abstract Consumer choice and behavior are changing focusing on comfortable clothing along with fitting. Elastic yarn or fabric is necessary to achieve this comfortableness. By making elastic using material in production, cloths produced proper stretchability recovery. For that, core-spun was used, but due a lack of recovery performance, dual has been developed. Different elastane ratios, linear...

Introduction We have previously reported downsizing ancient twistbased spinning technology for making continuous, densified nanotube yarns from multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) forests [1]. Such nanotube yarns provide unique properties and property combinations. Despite this important progress, the relationship between nanotube yarn properties and component carbon nanotube properties is not ...

Conductive textile yarns were prepared by a continuous vapor polymerization method; the application of polypyrrole by the continuous vapor polymerisation method used is designed for the easy adaptation into industrial procedures. The resultant conductive yarns were examined by longitudinal and cross-sectional views, clearly showing the varying level of penetration of the polymer into the yarns ...
