The history of silk in the Near East begins in Syria in the Roman period, with cloth and yarn of the Han dynasty imported from China. Some of the cloth may well have been the delicate Chinese gauze, because during the first two centuries A.D. Roman writers were scandalized by its transparency, saying that the wearers were clothed only to be unclothed. Other types, damasks and embroidered silks,...

in the view of quran, the standee mountains holding the layers of earth start to move and getting the anxious and exploded and even turn to dust. at the beginning of the doomsday in the researched verses they are simile to tufts of yarn. god in the many verses announced of finality of mountains that they flattened with the earth and scattered about – and like tufts of yarn are pulverized and al...

Most softening agents, such as rinse cycle fabric softeners, used by consumers at home contain cationic surfactants that have two long alkyl chains as their main component. The softening mechanism on fibers, especially cotton, has not yet been scientifically established, despite the market prevalence of fabric softeners for decades. One explanation for the softening effect is that the friction ...

Aiming at demonstrating the potential of unidirectional natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites in structural applications, textile flax yarn/thermoplastic polyester composites with variable fiber volume fractions have been manufactured by a filament-winding process followed by a vacuum-assisted compression molding process. The microstructure of the composites shows that the flax fibe...

The variations in the mechanical and surface properties of cotton ringand OE rotor-spun yarns on exposure to different chemicals during wet processing have been studied. It is observed that the structure and yarn twist are the dominant parameters in determining the accessibility of chemicals during wet processing. The most distinct outcome of alkaline scouring of cotton yarns, in comparison to ...

The structural characteristics, dimensional change after four washing cycles, non-creasing properties and air permeability of Swiss double piqué knitted fabrics from cotton/flax (70% cotton, 30% flax), PAN/flax PAN, flax) 100% flax yarns have been investigated. These fabric samples varying densities were produced on a 10 -gauge circular knitting machine. results investigation showed that the in...

The problem of a rotating transported thread or yarn occurs in textile applications such as high-speed spinning and unwinding from a cylindrical package. In case of low tension the yarn is known to buckle and fly out under the action of centrifugal forces. The motion initially appears fixed when viewed from a rotating coordinate frame and is known as ballooning (see [1], which also contains ref...

ON THE MECHANICS OF TWIST INSERTION by ALY H. M. EL-SHIEKH Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering Fibers and Polymers Division, on May 14, 1965 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Science in Mechanical Engineering This investigation is directed toward an improved understanding of the mechanisms and actions taking place in the textile twisting pr...

Modeling of yarn and fiber properties has been a popular topic in the field of textile engineering in recent decades. The common method for fitting models has been to use classical regression analysis, based on the assumptions of data crispness and deterministic relations among variables. However, in modeling practical systems such as cotton spinning, the above assumptions may not hold true. Pr...

In the present work the reflection behavior and the color appearance of acrylic yarns, as pile yarns used in carpet and pilled fabrics, are considered along their lengths as well as their cross- sections. Differences between longitudinal and cross-sectional reflection behaviors of yarns are measured in different yarn densities and hues and explained by the geometric model. The results of experi...
