Due to the recent development of wearable electronic textiles and smart textiles, the conductive fabrics and electrically heated garments have been extensively studied and applied in many fields. In this work an electric heating fabric was fabricated by sewing silver coated nylon yarn over the polyester fabric. In order to minimize the power consumption, instead of heating whole garment surface...

Yarn properties can be altered through blending fibres. According to the requirement different properties can be achieved by different blending ratios. Among the different blends cotton and polyester, cotton and wool, wool and acrylic, cotton and nylon, jute and acrylic, cotton and rayon etc are common. Flax and polyester has been a popular blend now-adays and depicts excellent properties than ...

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,...

Yarn hairiness has been an important indication of yarn quality that affects weaving production and fabric appearance. In addition to many dedicated instruments, various image analysis systems have been adopted to measure yarn hairiness for potential values of high accuracy and low cost. However, there is a common problem in acquiring yarn images; that is, hairy fibers protruding beyond the dep...

We developed a novel technique enabling determination of the permeability of electrospun yarns composed of hundreds of fibers. Analyzing the wicking kinetics in a yarn-in-a-tube composite conduit, it was found that the kinetic is very specific. The liquid was pulled by the capillary pressure associated with the meniscus in the tube while the main resistance comes from the yarn. Therefore, one c...

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...

Taguchi Method is explained in brief and one of the textile processes, called spinning process, is optimised by using Taguchi method for manufacturing optimum packing density of different technologies yarns. The effect of process variables like: lap hank, card draft, draft/doublings and drafts at speed frame, ring frame, rotor and air-jet spinning machine on packing density parameters of respec...

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 ...
