Quantum Knitting

We analyze the connections between the mathematical theory of knots and quantum physics by addressing a number of algorithmic questions related to both knots and braid groups. Knots can be distinguished by means of ‘knot invariants’, among which the Jones polynomial plays a prominent role, since it can be associated with observables in topological quantum field theory. Although the problem of c...

Constructive Knitting for Children

Layered microporous polymers by solvent knitting method

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, especially 2D organic nanomaterials with unprecedentedly diverse and controlled structure, have attracted decent scientific interest. Among the preparation strategies, the top-down approach is one of the considered low-cost and scalable strategies to obtain 2D organic nanomaterials. However, some factors of their layered counterparts limited the development a...

Knitting a 3D Model

A knitted animal is made of a closed surface consisting of several knitted patches knitted out of yarn and stuffed with cotton (Fig. 1). We introduce a system to create a knitting pattern from a given 3D surface model (mainly designed for rotund animal models). A knitting pattern is an instructional diagram describing how to knit yarn to obtain a desired shape. Since the creation of knitting pa...

WORLD CONGRESS: KNITTING FOR THE 21st CENTURY

To enable shaped preforms to be produced accurately, it is essential to have a full understanding of the geometrical properties of the structure and the effects that the various shaping techniques produce. This publication discusses the technique of threedimensional shaping and its affects on the geometrical dimensions of a hemispherical form. In the paper the calculation procedures employed to...
