Prediction of bending rigidity for laminated weft knitted fabric with adhesive interlining

Textile-Based Weft Knitted Strain Sensors: Effect of Fabric Parameters on Sensor Properties

The design and development of textile-based strain sensors has been a focus of research and many investigators have studied this subject. This paper presents a new textile-based strain sensor design and shows the effect of base fabric parameters on its sensing properties. Sensing fabric could be used to measure articulations of the human body in the real environment. The strain sensing fabric w...

Estimation on the 3D porosity of plain weft knitted fabric under wale extension

Loop Length of Plain Single Weft Knitted Structure with Elastane

For decades, scientists have been trying to define relationships among yarn parameters, knitted fabric parameters, and knitting parameters with loop models. Recently, the geometrical loop models have returned to focus as they assist finding the effective parameters which cause dimensional changes during relaxation. Furthermore, they help designing knitted structures for technical applications a...

The Effect of Stretching on Ultraviolet Protection of Cotton and Cotton/Coolmax-Blended Weft Knitted Fabric in a Dry State

In this paper, the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of weft knitted fabrics made from 20Ne cotton yarn, Coolmax yarn and their blends in dry, relaxed and stretched states were studied. According to the fibre composition, samples were divided into three groups: Group I (single cotton yarn); Group II (cotton/cotton combination); and Group III (Coolmax/cotton combination) for discussion. In add...

Effect of Stretching on Ultraviolet Protection of Cotton and Cotton/Coolmax Blended Weft Knitted Fabric in a Wet State

In this paper, the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of plain knitted fabrics made from 20Ne cotton yarns, Coolmax yarn and their combinations in wet, relaxed and stretched states were studied. According to the fiber composition, fabric samples are divided into three groups including Group I (single cotton yarn), Group II (cotton/cotton combination) and Group III (Coolmax/cotton combination) ...
