Coated Fabrics

PVC coated fabric is a useful structural material mainly used as a roof material because of its lightweight, flexibility. However, the main issues of this PVC coated fabric product is that it is damaged such as tensile failure, peel, and tear when exposed to extreme environments such as strong rain and wind owing to its inferior mechanical properties. Various studies have been reported to improve the mechanical properties of PVC coated fabric, there have been no significant improvement. Therefore, in this study, to improve the mechanical properties of the PVC coated fabrics, applied the low viscosity PVC resin and 4 [Formula: see text] 4 matt weave structure polyester fabric. In addition, the mechanical properties of PVC coated fabrics with various viscosity PVC resins (D10, D8, D5, D2 and D0) were investigated and the mechanical properties of PVC coated fabrics with various weaving structure such as plain weave structure (1 [Formula: see text] 1), matt weave structure (2 [Formula: see text] 2, 3[Formula: see text] 3, and 4 [Formula: see text] 4) were studied. The PVC coated fabric fabricated by low viscosity PVC resin (D10), the tensile strength, tear load, and peel strength improved about 3%, 11%, and 29% compared to the PVC coated fabric fabricated by high viscosity PVC resin (D0). The mechanical properties of the PVC coated fabric fabricated by 4 × 4 matt weave structure polyester fabric was superior to the 1 × 1 plain weave structure polyester fabric and 2 × 2, 3 × 3 matt weave structure polyester fabrics because of the low crimp rate and low intersection point of the warp yarn and weft yarn of the fabric.

In this study, the mechanical properties of the basalt leno textile applied as concrete reinforcement were experimentally investigated considering different parameters including the impregnation materials, geometrical characteristics (the number of yarns, yarn structure, and yarn spacing), and loading rate. The tensile strength, elastic modulus, and failure mode were examined. Furthermore, the force mechanism of impregnated leno textile under tensile load was analyzed. The experimental results showed that the textile with a stiff impregnation material exhibited a higher strength and modulus than that with a flexible material. The leno textile with the straight yarn had a better performance than those with the twisted yarns. Besides, the constraint of the weft yarns is obvious to the textile in the warp direction, while the warp yarn makes no contributions to the bearing capacity of textile in the weft direction. The weft yarn spacing had a significant impact on mechanical properties of the textile in the warp direction. Furthermore, the loading rate of approximately 1.2 mm/min was suggested to determine the maximum force of the impregnated basalt leno textile. A tensile strength model was proposed considering the effects of the impregnation material, consistent deformation, torsion damage, and twisted angle.

A highly conductive polyester fabric was fabricated by the two-step successive in situ polymerization of aniline. This was followed by silver electroless plating on the surface of the fabric. Also, a silver electroless-plated fabric and a PANI-coated fabric were prepared by the in situ chemical polymerization of aniline. The electrical conductivity measurements, scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, water contact angle measurements, wide angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and air permeability tests were conducted on the coated fabrics. It was found that the surface of the hybrid PANI/silver-coated fabric was coated with granular silver particles having the average diameter of 1.3 µm. Besides, the amount of the reduced silver on the surface of the fabric was much higher than that in the silver electroless-plated fabric. The emeraldine form of PANI was oxidized to pernigraniline and the silver ions were reduced to silver metal particles. The hybrid PANI/silver-coated fabric showed the electrical conductivity of 2.63 × 103 Scm−1; so, it could be applied in many smart wearable applications.

Abstract Fabrics coated with rubber have wide applications in fields such as medical substrates, protective clothing, and flexible membranes for civil structures, airbags, geotextiles and industrial fabrics. As the market for coated fabrics expands to applications with more complex geometries and loading conditions, a competitive edge can be gained by optimizing the selection of fabric substrate and coating materials. This work includes a detailed experimental study of the effect of various parameters such as weave pattern, yarn size, and coating thickness on rubber coated fabric mechanical response. Nine types of woven PET fabrics were fabricated, consisting of the same warp yarn size and count, but different fill yarns (220, 500, and 1000 denier) and weave patterns (plain weave, 4-harness satin weave, and 8-harness satin weave). The fabrics were coated with neoprene latex using a dip-coating process. The coating penetration was much greater for the two-ply warp yarns than the fill yarns. Both coated and uncoated fabrics were tested. Shear tests and microscopy were used to understand the interaction between the fabric structure and the rubber coating. Results suggest that the shear behavior of the rubber-coated fabric is dominated by the rubber at low shear angles and by the fabric at higher shear angles. These results improve our ability to predict and prevent undesirable behaviors such as wrinkling, distortion and tear.

Now the Mechanical Properties of fabrics is widely studied, but always involve in one kind of fabric or a certain property. In order to further understand the fabric tearing strength comprehensively, through a lot of experiments, this article mainly study the single or multiple influences of warp and weft fineness, warp and weft density, warp and weft yarn strength, break elongation of warp and weft yarn, fabric thickness of five fabrics on single stitch tearing strength and trapezoid tearing strength. Then we use SPSS statistical analysis tools to conduct multiple linear regression analysis. We can conclude that warp and weft tightness of fabrics, warp yarn strength, elongation at break of weft yarn have the influence on tearing strength; When trapezoid Angle is changed from 27 degrees to 45 degrees, the influence of warp and weft tightness on it will become bigger, but the influence of warp yarn strength, elongation at break of weft yarn on it will become smaller, and so on.

Jute Yarn

This work developed novel jute-yarn, non-crimp, unidirectional (UD) preforms and their composites, with three different types of warp jute yarns of varying linear densities and twists in the dry UD preforms, in order to present a possible solution to the detrimental effects of higher yarn twists and crimp at the warp–weft yarn interlacements of traditional, woven, preform-based composites on their mechanical properties. In the developed UD preforms, warp jute yarns were placed in parallel by using a wooden picture-frame pin board, with the minimal number of glass weft yarns to avoid crimp at the warp–weft yarns interlacements, which can significantly enhance the load-bearing ability of UD composites compared to traditional, woven, preform composites. It was found that an optimal combination of jute warp yarn linear densities and twists in the UD preforms is important to achieve the best possible mechanical properties of newly developed UD composites, because it encourages a proper polymer-matrix impregnation on jute fibres, leading to excellent fibre–matrix interface bonding. Composites made from the 25 lb/spindle jute warp yarn linear density (UD25) exhibited higher tensile and flexural properties than other UD composites (UD20, UD30). All the UD composites showed a much better performance compared to the traditional woven preform composites (W20), which were obviously related to the higher crimp and yarn interlacements, less load-carrying capacity, and poor fiber–matrix interfaces of W20 composites. UD25 composites exhibited a significant enhancement in tensile modulus by ~232% and strength by ~146%; flexural modulus by 138.5% and strength by 145% compared to W20 composites. This reveals that newly developed, non-crimp, UD preform composites can effectively replace the traditional woven composites in lightweight, load-bearing, complex-shaped composite applications, and hence, this warrants further investigations of the developed composites, especially on long-term and dynamic-loading mechanical characterizations.

In order to improve the mechanical properties of weft knitted fabric, straight yarns both in weft and warp directions can be integrated. These types of reinforcements are called biaxial weft knitted structures. Biaxial weft knitted fabrics include weft and warp yarn layers, which are held together by a stitching yarn system. Reinforcing yarns, e.g. glass or aramid fibers, can be used within all yarn systems. They provide necessary strength and stiffness of the fabric [1]. The present work concentrates on the mechanical properties of biaxial weft knitted composites. Mainly the effect of stitch yarn type such as aramid, glass and nylon and biaxial, warp and weft, yarn type such as aramid and glass were investigated. Six plies composite panels were fabricated by hand lay-up lamination method. Volume fraction (Vf) of all composites were kept constant. After production of composites, bending and impact tests had been conducted. GF-GF-NY composites exhibited superior flexural property than other tested composites. It was found that GF-GF-AR composites have higher impact properties (total energy and maximum load) than other tested composites. Better mechanical properties can be achieved by using aramid stitch yarn with combination glass warp and glass weft yarns. A better interfacial bonding of aramid stitch yarn seemed to be cause of this result. After impact test, fracture aspects of reverse side of weft knitted composites were analyzed. The crack propagation was explained by visual inspection. Moreover, impact damage for tested materials was evaluated by cross-sectional observations. For the better understanding of the fracture behavior, schematic drawings of all kind of specimens were drawn. To analyze the damage behavior of tested specimens, the damage lengths were measured. By this observation, the tendency between impact energy and crack length was showed.

The stretch property of fabrics is one of the most important factors that provide comfort to wearers. It is expected that tension building up in the fabric can be relaxed and the garment pressure on the body can be reduced by appropriately exploiting its stretch property. Currently, the stretch property is predominantly realized using spandex. However, weaving or knitting elastic threads cannot be employed for the worsted fabric used to design men’s suits because of their effects on the mechanical properties of the fabric (e.g., embrittlement), which deteriorate with time. In this study, worsted fabric with a graded mechanical stretch property was produced, and the effect of the mechanical stretch property on comfort was verified. The mechanical stretch property is developed from the tension relaxation and fabric shrinkage along the weft yarn during the crabbing, scouring, and drying stages of the finishing process. Then, the form of the fabric is set by heating. In this study, the worsted fabric had an elongation ratio varying from 5.9% to 16.1% along the weft direction that was produced without using elastic thread. Furthermore, men’s suit pants were made from the fabrics. The effect of the stretch property on the garment comfort was verified through sensory evaluation and garment pressure measurement. The contribution of the mechanical stretch property in improving the garment comfort of men’s suit pants is discussed.

Abstract This paper aims to investigate the relationship between fabric weave structure and its comfort properties. The two basic weave structures and four derivatives for each selected weave structure were studied. Comfort properties, porosity, air permeability and thermal resistance of all the fabric samples were determined. In our research the 1/1 plain weave structure showed the highest thermal resistance making it suitable for cold climatic conditions. The 2/2 matt weave depicted the lowest thermal resistance which makes it appropriate for hot climatic conditions.

Plain weave fabrics of polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidation yarns (PANOF) were prepared by small rapier loom. The flame retardation properties, mechanical properties and wear behaviors of PANOF plain weave fabrics were tested. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of these PANOF plain weave fabric samples was 31%, which meets the criterion of flame-retardant fabrics. These fabrics neither melt nor shrunk when left in flame for a short period of time and the fabric structures were well maintained. Compared with flammable polyacrylonitrile fabrics, the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidation fabrics exhibited excellent flame retardation properties, with satisfactory mechanical properties and comfortable handle.
