Auxetic metamaterials expand transversely when stretched longitudinally or contract compressed, resulting in a negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR). fabrics are 3D textile possessing unique geometry that can generate an auxetic response with respect to tension. In weft-knitted fabrics, the NPR property is achieved due inherent curling effect of face and back stitches knit loops; they organized knitti...

The increasing demand for technical textiles makes innovations and acceleration of processes necessary. This research paper presents an innovative knitting technology. technology, which was funded by the European Regional Development Fund as R&D-project (EFRE-0400310), reduces production time creates completely novel structures. introduces validation process technology therefore brings theo...

Samples that are going to be used in this research produced such a way the threads 35/2 NM 100% acrylic. The yarns consist of [40% Acrylic (2.75 dtex unrelax), 60% (2.2 relax pilling)] mixing ratios and tow dyeing process has been applied these fibers. In fibre process, by creating 2 groups, light colored fibers, medium-colored dark fibers super dyed were total 8 obtained. Rib plain knit fabric...

The structural and compressibility properties of the weft-knitted glass yarn fabrics from 1x1, 2x2, English, fisherman rib architectures were investigated in this study. Due to their tight structures; 2x2 fabric exhibited higher loop density, shorter length than 1x1 English architectures. displayed fiber volume fraction multi-layer compaction recovery tests where pressure was varied between 2 2...
