Fabric has the power to humanize our living environment. Textiles have always had an ability to demarcate space, absorb sound and create decorative elements. With these characteristics, it is not difficult to explore the full potential of heat setting on polyester as a decorative surface design technique. Utilizing the heat setting properties of polyester, a range of fabrics has been designed a...

We have examined the fabric-to-metal surface and fabric-to-fabric frictional characteristics (in both warp and weft directions) of a series of fabrics containing 100% polyester, 100% viscose, and P/C & P/V blends with different blend proportions. It has been observed that the normal load and the frictional force follow a logarithmic relationship for all the fabrics. The nature of fabric frictio...

Yarn properties can be altered through blending fibres. According to the requirement different properties can be achieved by different blending ratios. Among the different blends cotton and polyester, cotton and wool, wool and acrylic, cotton and nylon, jute and acrylic, cotton and rayon etc are common. Flax and polyester has been a popular blend now-adays and depicts excellent properties than ...

The polyester (100%), cotton (100%) and Polyester / Cotton blend fabrics (65 / 35; 50 / 50 & 35 / 65) were treated with sodium hydroxide followed by hydrophilic finishing and dyeing to impart hygroscopic and dyeing characteristics. Then the finished fabric was tested for k/s value, fastness properties, wetting behaviour, water retention, wicking behaviour and static charge respectively. The sod...

-The area of the digital image processing is getting more attention in the hope that it will increase the accuracy of any scientific measurements. One of many digital image processing applications is texture analysis. Fabric or cloth is a flexible artificial material that is made by a network of natural or artificial fibers. Fabric fault inspection is an important process in the textile industr...

In this study, a process has been developed for durable coating of sericin on polyester. Pre modification of polyester with alkali (sodium hydroxide) has been carried out to incorporate polar entities on its inert surface. 10g/L of sericin with 30mL/L of glutaraldehyde, cured at 130°C for 2min has been optimized for its application on modified surface. Treated samples are tested for surface smo...

Fabric hand-feel is an important indicator of textile comprehensive evaluation. In the past century, many achievements have been made in characterization and evaluation of fabric hand-feel. With the development of experimental methods, the electrophysiological technique was used in exploring the formation mechanism and cognitive principle of fabric hand-feel. In this paper, event-related potent...

Herein, the hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties of three different fabric surfaces have been evaluated after applying titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofinishes. The nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel techniques and were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods. The ultra-refined particles were applied over ...

modifying polyester spacer fabric by β-cyclodextrin produces a new product with outstanding characteristics. citric acid is used as a crosslinking agent for improvement of durability of this material in textile fabrics. in this research different concentrations of citric acid and β-cyclodextrin were applied on a 3d fabric and some properties including weight change, weight of moisture residue, ...
