The Indian textile industry has a major impact on the world economy through millenniums. At present all the textile industries aim to produce competitive fabrics. The competition depends mainly on productivity and quality of the fabrics produced by industry. In the textile sector, there are huge losses due to faulty fabrics. Fault identification in the manufactured fabric is the most complicate...

In and around Erode District, it is estimated that more than 1250 chemical and allied textile processing fabric industries are affected, partially closed and shut off for various reasons such as poor management, poor supplier performance, lack of planning for productivity, fluctuation of output, poor investment, waste analysis, labor problems, capital/labor ratio, accumulation of stocks, poor m...

A comfortable health monitoring system named WEALTHY is presented. The system is based on a wearable interface implemented by integrating fabric sensors, advanced signal processing techniques and modern telecommunication systems, on a textile platform. Conducting and piezoresistive materials in form of fibre and yarn are integrated in a garment and used as sensors, connectors and electrode elem...

The quasi-regular patterns generated from hamiltonian has unique balanced symmetry. The patterns are quite suitable for the textile fabric. However the number of patterns just generated from hamiltonian are limited. Therefore in this paper a 110 of functions built by the methods of hamiltonian of superposition, nesting, combination and parameter variations, and it can increase the type and quan...

INTRODUCTION Today, development of materials technology using biomass is expected for creation of a sustainable society. Especially, the composite consisting of plant-based natural fibers and biodegradable resin, so-called the fully-green composites, is much expected for practical use. So far, we made textile green composites using biodegradable resin and plain woven ramie fabric and explored t...

The design and development of textile-based strain sensors has been a focus of research and many investigators have studied this subject. This paper presents a new textile-based strain sensor design and shows the effect of base fabric parameters on its sensing properties. Sensing fabric could be used to measure articulations of the human body in the real environment. The strain sensing fabric w...

A need exists for artificial muscles that are silent, soft, and compliant, with performance characteristics similar to those of skeletal muscle, enabling natural interaction of assistive devices with humans. By combining one of humankind's oldest technologies, textile processing, with electroactive polymers, we demonstrate here the feasibility of wearable, soft artificial muscles made by weavin...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays are providing an increasing fraction of global electrical demand, with an accelerating rate of new installations. Most of these employ conventional glass-fronted panels, but this type of PV array does not satisfy applications that require a light-weight, flexible PV generator. An option discussed in this article is to consider textiles for such solar cell substrat...

Today industrial textile has an old tradition, in the 20 th century when man-made fibers became available, the range of industrial textiles was rapidly widened by textiles before, These are currently used to produce fabric reinforced constructions, it is only in the last few decades that industrial textiles have become a commonly considered special group of textiles products, (2) where industri...

Silicone softeners have a firm place in final finishing for a very important reason. A piece of fabric which has been subjected to pretreatment ,dyeing and fixing processes is almost impossible to be appealing to any one without taking a corrective measures of handle. The Application of silicone softeners turns hard and a brittle fabric into a soft pleasant textile with which the buyer can expe...
