Handle is an important property of fabrics. In this work we tried to predict the handles of some worsted fabrics by their physical properties using a backpropagation network. Also an unsupervised kohonen network was used for clustering the fabrics. Physical properties of fabrics were measured by universal test equipments and hand values of the fabrics were determined by a panel of judges consis...

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...

It is claimed that perception is the result of objective measurement and subjective reaction, when people immerse in an environment. This statement is the main theme of this paper. This study tries to set a framework in analyzing built environment that is to comply with human perceptive processes. The approach of this article presents a methodology to assess the perceptual environment . The pa...

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...
