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 ...

This paper presents the comparative results of a current study on unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) matrix composites processed by filament winding method, with cotton spun yarn of different mass irregularities and two different volume fractions. Physical and mechanical properties were measured, namely ultimate stress, stiffness, elongation%. The mechanical properties of the composites increase...

We investigated the actual factor determining the softening effect of a fabric softener. The adsorption area of the softener on model cotton cloths and yarns was identified using bromophenol blue. There was almost no softener at the cross-points of the yarns in the cloth samples or in the inner part of the yarns. The softening performance was better when there was less softener at the cross-poi...

An intelligence machine is a computer program that can learn from experience, i.e. modifies its processing on the basis of newly acquired information and thereafter makes decisions in a rightfully sensible manner when presented with inputs. Examples of such machine learning systems are artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVMs), fuzzy logic, evolutionary computation, etc....

When providing care, to protect a part of the human body against resins and plas ters for certain time, it is necessary use circular knitted band in cotton as raw material. The generating Cotton fiber fly throughout knitting process due interactions frictional surfaces with hairiness ring spun yarn. During manufacture short fibers are formed machine device, this problem more important yarns. In...

The textile industry is the most important sector in Pakistan’s economy. Based on the availability of raw cotton, the industry provides the largest employment (38% of the total employment) and is also its largest foreign exchange earner. It contributes 68% of total exports, 46% of total manufacturing, 8.5% of total GDP, 31% of total investment and 12% of total market capitalization. Over the ye...

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...

The cellulolytic activity of rumen contents was assayed by measuring losses in weight and tensile strength of cotton yarn incubated in rumen contents in the presence of dietary additives (barley, tallow) and at different pH values. The addition of barley depressed cellulolysis and the titer of filter paper-degrading bacteria only if the pH was allowed to fall. Lowering the pH from 7.0 to 6.0 by...

In the next decade, India is likely to witness changes in its cotton and textile sectors as many of the constraints on production, marketing, and trade of cotton and textile products are set to be eliminated. Some of the internal constraints include export constraints on yarn, government fixing of cotton ginning and pressing fees, and subsidization of raw cotton production. Similarly, one of th...
