The influence of the bentonite content (1, 3, 5 wt%) on mechanical properties lightweightcotton (C), polyester (P) and polyester-cotton (P/C 50/50) fabrics was investigated. Starch used asa water-insoluble binder for coating fabrics. Bentonite nanoparticles were obtained by repeated hydration,decantation evaporation water dispersion. particle size determinedby XRD method using Debye-Scherrer eq...

Fabric flammability is a surface-confined phenomenon: in fact, the fabric surface represents the most critical region, through which the mass and heat transfers, responsible for fueling the flame, are controlled and exchanged with the surroundings. More specifically, the heat the fabric surface is exposed to is transferred to the bulk, from which volatile products of thermal degradation diffuse...

Influence of reinforcement effect on mechanical properties of banana bio fiber polyester has been investigated. Three different type of weaving patterns such as plain, basket and twill banana fabric were used to analyze the mechanical properties of composites. Results revealed that composite with basket weaving style enhances the properties of composite material compared to other two patterns. ...

With the advancement of sustainable actions in textile industry, biodegradable polymers are considered a potential solution to environmental problems generated by plastic waste. In particular, renewable polyesters, such as polylactic acid (PLA), most promising bioresorbable materials for application consumer areas, which is one largest segments responsible waste generation. Based on these consi...

Stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), once only a pest of pastured cattle, has become a serious pest of range cattle in the United States. Because of the difficulties associated with stable fly management under range conditions, a pesticide-impregnated cloth target is being developed as a management tool. We conducted studies to determine the influence of weather, time, fabr...

BACKGROUND Universal coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LNs) made from polyester or polyethylene fibres has been adopted as the standard of care to control malaria among at-risk populations. To obtain a WHO recommendation, LNs must undergo prospective monitoring of insecticidal efficacy against mosquito vectors over 3 years of household use. The retention of bioefficacy and physical du...

Multicycle reuse of disperse dyebaths on pilot scale jet equipment was investigated in dyeing of staple and filament 100% polyester knit fabrics. Long reuse runs of single shades produced good batch-to-batch shade uniformity. Multishade reuse runs were found feasible in the forward (light-mediumdark) direction for both fabric types even though dyes were not completely common in successive shade...

The pilling characteristics of commercially available polyester/cotton blended fabrics in the grey and finished conditions as well as of those produced in the laboratory under controlled conditions have been investigated. The structure of pills and the nature of fibres that go into pill formation in various types offabrics have been examined microscopically and the influence of various fibre, y...

Compression properties of textile materials are useful for determining fullness, softness, smoothness, and stiffness. In addition, compression parameters have significant influence on fabric hand value quality materials. The present paper reports a study the sublimation printing process change in knitted fabrics (polyester, cotton, cotton/ polyester) intended sportswear manufacturing. For that ...
