Mechanical Performance of Hemp-Containing Denim Fabrics with Core-Engineered Weft Yarns
Hemp-cotton denim loses some warp strength, but weft design matters as much as fibre: dual-core stretch wefts gave the best tear resistance.
The Influence of the Upholstery Textiles Structure on Their Functional Properties
Testing four upholstery fabrics, Polish researchers found wovens far outlast a knit in abrasion and pilling, and only one fabric resisted ignition.
A Comparative Analysis of Denim Fabric Performances from Cotton/Polyester Blended Rigid and Stretched Yarns
Dual-core stretch wefts shrink less than single-core ones, and polyester in the weft sharply raises denim tear strength, a Turkish mill study finds.
Changes of Physical and Low-stress Mechanical Properties of Garments with Wrinkle-free Treatment after Repeated Launderings
For hygiene reasons, garments need to be washed. Garments should therefore have the durability against washing. The effects of washing on the properties and performance of fabrics were investigated by a number of previous workers. Hurren et...
Cellular Fabric Design with a Sandwich Structure with a Honeycomb Weave for Composite Materials
Three dimensional (so-called honeycomb) stuructures based on a cellular hexagonal repeat unit are extensively used in modern aircraft in floor panels and using sections manufactured by companies such as Ciba Geigy (1978) and Hexcel (1978)....
Effect of chemical cross-linking on the properties of acrylic yarns
Courtelle acrylic yarns were cross-linked using hexandiol and pentaerythritol as potential cross-linking agents. Cross-linking of the yarns was achieved via the methylacrylate group present as a copolymer component in the commercially produ...
Developing Heather Effects on Cotton Fabric Through the Introduction of Amorphous Copolymer
Unique fabric characteristics have been developed using low melt thermobonding PET (copolymer) fibers in blend with cotton. The color carrying low melt copolymer is distributed onto the fabric structure during heat setting at the yarn cross...
Overview of Research Findings on Fiber Structure in Relation to Quality of Egyptian Cottons (G. barbadense L.)
x- ray measurements revealed spiral angle for Egyptian cotton varieties ranging between 31° and 34°. A hypothetical structure was proposed that described spiral angle as a function of fiber length and diameter for different varieties, and d...
Assessments of Serviceability and Performance of Biodegradable Geotextile Vertical Drains
The general method of rapid consolidation of saturated fine grained soils or soft soils is to use the geotextile vertical drains and these are inserted in the ground with their ends protruding at the ground surface and with water being forc...
