Weft knitted fabric structures have got new application in the modern technical textile such as seat belt and packaging fabrics. The weft knitted fabric is applied for technical textiles commonly as composites to resist against tension along courses direction in jamming status. In this study, mechanical properties of weft knitted fabrics with different structures of single jersey and double jer...

Two methods are proposed in this paper to inspect printed fabrics. One method is to apply a genetic algorithm to select parameters of optimal Gabor filter. Optimal Gabor filter can reduce the noise information of printed fabrics, which can achieve defect detection of printed fabrics. The other is in utilizing distance matching function to determine the unit of printed fabrics. Extracting featur...

The focus of the research is mega-block in New Belgrade built in 1960`s, before and after transformation. The aim of research was to compare the parameters of bioclimatic urban design before and after the intervention. The results show decrease due to shading and evapotranspiration of 1°C to 2°C, in the central part of communal open space and increase of temperature along the edges of the block...

ZnO nanoparticle-based multilayer nanocomposite films were fabricated on cationized woven cotton fabrics via layer-by-layer molecular self-assembly technique. For cationic surface charge, cotton fabrics were pretreated with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (EP3MAC) by pad-batch method. XPS and SEM were used to examine the deposited nano-ZnO multilayer films on the cotton fabrics. The n...

In this study, the influence of dyeing on the antibacterial efficiency of polyamide and polyester fabrics loaded with colloidal Ag nanoparticles and the influence of the presence of Ag nanoparticles on the color change of dyed fabrics were investigated. Dyes C.I. acid green 25 and C.I. disperse blue 3 were used for dyeing of polyamide fabrics, while dye C.I. disperse violet 8 was used for dyein...

Ultrasonic technology is widely used to assist many industrial and domestic applications. However, the effect of ultrasonic washing on the thermophysiological properties of natural based fabrics has not been studied yet. This study aims to examine the relationship between unwashed, ultrasonically washed, and conventionally washed fabrics in terms of their abrasion behavior, flexural rigidity, a...

Carbon-based fibres hold promise for preparing multifunctional fabrics with electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, permeability, flexibility and lightweight. However, these fabrics are of limited performance mainly because of the weak interaction between fibres. Here we report non-woven graphene fibre fabrics composed of randomly oriented and interfused graphene fibres with strong inter...

The persistence of vaccinia virus on wool (blanket and gabardine) and cotton (sheeting, terry cloth, and knit jersey) fabrics was studied. The fabrics were exposed to the virus by three methods: direct contact, aerosol, and virus-containing dust having a high content of textile fibers. Fabrics exposed to virus by each method were held in 35 and 78% relative humidities at 25 C. Virus was recover...
