Creep and Inverse creep are the important fundamental properties of textile materials. These properties determine the relaxation behavior of the product. We have designed and fabricated an instrument which can measure the creep and inverse creep. The instrument consists of a Trans - Receiver unit interfaced with Embedded System along with the Personal Computer. Existing technique for measuring inverse creep does not measure the instantaneous extension or contraction. The newly fabricated instrument, can measure the instantaneous extension and contraction of the yarn of an accuracy of 0.02%. This can be measured after every 500 µs. The position of the yarn, which is to be hanged, is vertical. The ‘Electronic Timer Unit’, replaces a meter scale. Set up is improved by using electronic utilities. The capability is enhanced to next level of time and distance resolutions. Automation enables to have flexibility of time from microseconds to minutes. Data is stored in different text files. Different samples of Nylon multifilament yarn were used in the experiment. The length and the load were altered. Change in stress lead to instantaneous extension or contraction followed by creep or inverse creep. This can sensed by the sensor and further stored in the memory of the Computer. The percentage creep and inverse creep were measured and have been reported in this present paper. Your paper should be in the same format as this file. The abstract goes here. Your abstract should be a maximum of 200 words here clearly outlining the contribution of your paper. Abstract is in italic fonts.

The instrument consists of a Trans - Receiver unit interfaced with Embedded System along with the Personal Computer. Existing technique for measuring inverse creep does not measure the instantaneous extension or contraction. The newly fabricated instrument, can measure the instantaneous extension and contraction of the yarn up to an accuracy of 0.02%. This can be measured after every 500 µs. The position of the yarn, which is to be hanged, is vertical. The ‘Electronic Timer Unit’, replaces a meter scale. Set up is improved by using electronic utilities. The capability is enhanced to next level of time and distance resolutions. Automation enables to have flexibility of time from microseconds to minutes. Data is stored in different text files.

AbstractPolyvinyl butyral is used in safety glass interlayers, mainly in car windshields. Legislative regulations require a recycling of cars after their lifetime and therefore also their safety glass. This causes the availability of recycled polyvinyl butyrate (r-PVB) originated from safety glass interlayers. Due to deteriorated optical properties, such as the transparency, and unknown amounts of plasticizers, it is challenging to reuse the recycled material in new windshields. Therefore, it is of particular interest to find new fields of application for r-PVB, such as the usage as a textile coating. In this research, r-PVB was investigated as a material for yarn coating. Polyester and polyamide mono- and multifilament yarns were coated continuously with solely a polymer dispersion and with mixtures of crosslinking agent and polymer dispersion. Crosslinked r-PVB coatings showed enhanced properties toward abrasion and chemical resistance. Coatings without the crosslinking agent showed a diminished abrasion resistance and could be washed off with ethanol. Mechanical properties of the monofilaments were influenced by the r-PVB coating in general. However, varying concentrations of the crosslinking agent did not affect the mechanical properties.

Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (RPET) multifilament yarns are used in carpet manufacturing as a way to reduce plastic waste. The conventional RPET carpet is however susceptible to bacterial accumulation. As a result, this research experimentally doped RPET with nano-structure titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) to produce RPET/nano-TiO2 bicomponent multifilament yarns with antibacterial property. The experimental multifilament yarn structure consisted of two parts: neat RPET core and RPET/nano-TiO2 shell. The nano-TiO2 content in the shell was varied between 1 and 3 wt% and the core/shell (C/S) ratios between 90/10, 70/30, and 50/50 w/w. The effects of C/S ratio and nano-TiO2 content on the mechanical and antibacterial properties of bicomponent multifilament yarns were determined. The experimental results indicated that the C/S ratio had no effect on the tenacity and elongation at break. Meanwhile, the tenacity and elongation at break of bicomponent fibers increased with nano-TiO2 content in the shell. The TiO2-doped RPET bicomponent yarns effectively inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The 90/10 bicomponent multifilament fiber with 3 wt% TiO2 achieved the highest antibacterial activity. The very high antibacterial activity was attributable to greater deposition of nano-TiO2 particles near and on the shell surface.

Polylactide (PLA) was mixed with 4 wt.% of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to produce electrical conductive multifilament yarns by melt spinning process for humidity detection. Thanks to a variation of electrical conductivity, this flexible sensor could detect the moisture presence. The introduction of plasticizer was necessary to ensure higher fluidity and drawability of the blend during the spinning process. The plasticizer modifies the crystallinity and the mechanical properties of the yarns. The effectiveness of this sensor (PLA/4 wt.% CNTs fibres) sensitive to humidity, is optimal when the spinning conditions are adapted. In this way, the temperature and the rate of the drawing roll were reduced. The influence of these parameters on the crystallinity, the mechanical properties and the sensitivity of the yarns were studied. Once the appropriate spinning conditions found, one humidity sensitive yarn was processed and the repeatability and efficient reversibility of its sensitivity were highlighted.

This experiment presents a study carried out on the electric charge passing textiles for heat production in compression weft-knitted composite fabrics used for medical purposes. The aim was to flourish compression support of knitted structure with integrated highly sensitive metal (silver) coated polyamide multifilament yarns and to evaluate its heat origination attributes after stretching in different levels as well as changes of the temperature during the time. A flat double needle-bed knitting machine was utilized to fabricate the selected specimens together with elastomeric inlay-yarn incorporated into the structure for compression generation and silver coated polyamide yarn laid as ground yarn in a plated structure for heat generation. Six different variants depending on the metal coated yarn amount used and the fabric structure along with two types of the conductive yarn linear density were fabricated for this research work. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were preoccupied to show the morphology of conductive yarn and thermal pictures were captured to study the evenness of the heat over the surface of composite fabrics depending on conductive yarn distribution in the pattern repeat. The temperature profile of fabricated composite fabrics and comparison of the heat generation by specimens after stretching in different levels was studied.
