This study attempts to investigate the pressure behavior of tubular knitted fabrics after a long period of time. For this purpose, two kinds of knitted fabric (plain and interlock) with various stitch lengths were chosen and the interfacial pressure and pressure reduction of fabrics after 48 hours were analyzed at different strain percents. The same tests were performed on the same specimens af...

Textiles can provide effective protection against UV radiation because they reflect, absorb and scatter solar wavelengths. Properly designed, they significantly increase the area of covered skin. The optimal combination of thickness, fabric density, mass per unit area, knitted structure, yarn type and yarn linear density, facilitate the production of textiles with high UV protection properties....

Within the scope of Collaborative Research Centre SFB 639 "Textile-reinforced composite components for function-integrating multi-material design in complex lightweight applications", woven and flat-knitted spacer fabrics from commingled hybrid yarns are developed, pressed and the characteristics of the formed composite structures are tested. The developed spacer fabric structures have Ushaped ...

Auxetic metamaterials expand transversely when stretched longitudinally or contract compressed, resulting in a negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR). fabrics are 3D textile possessing unique geometry that can generate an auxetic response with respect to tension. In weft-knitted fabrics, the NPR property is achieved due inherent curling effect of face and back stitches knit loops; they organized knitti...

This article provides a knitting method for warp-knitted fabrics with good moisture management performance. By adjusting of the warp machine (mainly bar), design lay-up yarn, selection and let-off tension, yarn covering relationship has been adjusted. using two kinds fineness polyester DTY, cotton spandex, designing warp-knitting structures, six different have knitted. The performance these kni...
