This project expands future applied-design capabilities for textiles as a function of inkjet deposition technology. The project investigates 3D inkjet rapid-production tools’ potential, focusing on creative gaps in the developing technology in its application to the textile design process. As such, the research investigates future design possibilities for inkjet printing technology in the creat...

To maintain typical textile properties, smart designs of light emitting devices are printed directly onto textile substrates. A first approach shows improved designs for alternating current powder electroluminescence (ACPEL) devices. A configuration with the following build-up, starting from the textile substrate, was applied using the screen printing technique: silver (10 µm)/barium titanate (...

A brief account of various paths used in the development of ink-jet printing for textiles has been reported. Thi s technology has achieved considerable success till the production stage and a lot of R&D work is being done to improve it further. It is a clean and environment-friendly process that reduces printing duration and costs by increasing productivity of pre-production in printing process...

Textile industry comprises of dry mechanical and wet chemical processing,wet chemical process comprises of bleaches, dyeing , printing, & finishing. Dyeing is art of colouration to textiles.Dye get transferred to textile during dyeing. Dyeing operation is performed by the reaction between fiber and dyes. Some dyes are water soluble and some are water insoluble. Some fiber has affinity to dye; s...

Hybrid yarns consisting of thermoplastic filaments and reinforcing glass filaments offer a high potential for highly efficient manufacture technologies for composite structures. The development of an adapted manufacturing technology for thermoplastic 3D shaped textile-reinforced composite trays is presented. In this context a manufacturing concept was developed, the drapability of different tex...
