Knitted fabrics and products are subjected to a variety of stresses and loads/deformation during their usage. The loads are different by value, by direction, and by duration. The alternations of loading and unloading or resting processes affect the knitted structure and could bring about changes in the linear dimensions of the fabric or result in the deformation of the knitted items and ultimately the loss of product appearance or its functional properties. A wide range of textile materials resistant to multiply loads was produced by using elastomeric yarn that has an elongation of more than 95% and is able to attain full recovery after relaxation due to its chemical composition. This case study examines two existing test methods for evaluating the stretch properties of textile materials produced with the elastomeric yarns with emphasis on warp knitted abdominal binder-type fabrics. It was found that the linear density of the weft in-laying threads and the preliminary tension of the ground yarn which formed pillar stitch affect stretch properties of elastic warp knitted fabric: the full deformation and its constituent parts. The change in the preliminary elongation of the bare spandex in the 210%–270% range does not have a significant effect.

Abstract Aerogels are ultra-light solids with extremely low thermal conductivity (even lower than air), thanks to which they have a huge potential in a wide range of applications. The purpose of this publication is to present the state-of-the art knowledge of the possibility of using aerogels to increase the thermal insulation properties of clothing materials intended for use in both cold and hot environments. Various methods of aerogels application to textile materials (non-woven, woven and knitted fabrics) are discussed, indicating their advantages and limitations. Numerous research studies confirm that aerogels significantly improve the thermal insulation properties of materials, but due to their delicate and brittle structure and their tendency to dusting, their application still poses considerable problems.

The mechanical response and damage mechanism of a 3D multi-structured knitted composite under quasi-tensile loadings are investigated based on experimental results. The multi-structured knitted composite consists of two knitted fabrics with weft double-faced interlock knitted fabric as core material and biaxial warp-knitted fabric as surface layer in the above-mentioned composite system, respectively. The tensile stress against strain curve is obtained to analyze the mechanical behavior. Furthermore, the failure mechanisms of 3D multi-structured knitted composite are discussed from the experimental observations by the initiation and propagation of damaged zone in knitted composites.

Consumer points of view determine economical value of fabrics. Fabric luster plays a momentous role in attracting people's attention, especially for clothing and domestic purposes. Luster is defined by intensity of both specular and diffuse light reflection off of a surface. There are various methods for measuring surface luster. Gloss. Luster is described as the ratio of specular reflection in one angle to diffuse reflection in another angle. Two-bar warp knitted polyester fabrics such as Tricot, Locknit, Satin, reverse Locknit and Sharkskin in three different densities were provided. A mini gloss apparatus was applied to measure fabric specular reflection in the angle of sixty degrees, before and after disperse dying with different colors of white, blue and yellow. Results suggest that luster is a function of knitted fabric type, color and density. Enhancement of technical back luster resulted from longer underlap of the front bar. However, it did not change the technical face luster significantly. Density increased in all knitted fabrics and caused the luster to decrease. Dark color fabrics showed lower luster compared to light ones.

Purpose Knitted fabrics have been widely used in a wide range of applications such as apparel industry. Since these fabrics are continuously subjected to the long-term tensile stresses or tensile creep in real conditions, investigation of viscoelastic behavior of sewn knitted fabrics would be important especially at the seamed area. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach A lockstitch machine was used to produce sewn samples by knitted fabric. Factors such as stitch per inch (SPI), thread tension and thread type were variables of the model. Tensile creep tests under constant load of 200 N were conducted, and creep compliance parameter D(t) of samples was obtained as a response variable. A successive residual method (SRM) was also used to characterize viscoelastic properties of sewn-seamed fabrics. Findings The instantaneous elastic responses of the seamed samples were less than those of the neat fabric (fabric with no seam). An increase in sewing thread strength increases the instantaneous elastic response of the sample. SPI and thread tension have an optimum value to increase E0. High tenacity polyester thread, due to its higher elastic modulus, caused a larger E0 than polyester/cotton thread in sewn knitted fabric. Characteristics of seam including sewing thread type, SPI and sewing tension have significant influence on T0. Sewn-seamed fabric by high modulus thread shows less viscous strain T0 than the neat fabric (fabric with no seam). Viscous strain T0 decreases as SPI changes from 8 to 4 and/or 12. SPI and thread tension have an optimum value to increase the viscous strain T0. E1 is the same for optimum seamed fabric and fabric sample but T1 is about two times greater for seamed fabric. Retarded time for creep recovery increases by sewing process but characteristics of seam have significant influence on E1 and T1. All sewn knitted fabric samples used in this study could be described by Burger’s model, which is a Maxwell model paralleled with a Kelvin one. Originality/value This paper is going to use a different method named successive residuals to model the creep behavior of seamed knitted fabric. On the whole, this paper paved a way to obtain viscoelastic constants of sewn-seamed knitted fabrics based on different sewing parameters such as the modulus of elasticity of the sewing thread, SPI and sewing thread tension.

The article presents the results of measurements of pressure exerted by two model knitted products – bands with different structure (WI jersey weft-knitted fabric and WII openwork warp-knitted fabric). The tests were carried out with using the I-Scan system (in vivo and in vitro tests) and the STM 579 device (in vitro test). A comparative analysis of the in vivo and in vitro results for the I-Scan method and in vitro results for the I-Scan and STM 579 method was performed. It was found that the pressure values are lower for openwork warp-knitted fabric than for jersey weft-knitted fabric both in the case of the in vitro and in vivo tests, and the values of pressure for the same band are higher in the case of the in vitro tests.

In recent years, as improvement of human living life, people begin to focus on themselves health. It is certain that bamboo charcoal has many properties, including water purification, deodorization, anion release and far-infrared ray radiation. This study aims to prepare PET/BC warp-knitted fabric composed of polyester yarn (PET) as warp yarn and bamboo charcoal polyamine yarn (BC) as weft yarn using Velcro Crochet Machine. Afterwards, air permeability, elastic resilience and far-infrared ray emissivity of resulting knitted fabric were discussed by changing weft yarn type. Result shows that, for knitted fabrics, weft yarn type cannot affect the elastic resilience; yet PET weft yarn makes air permeability decreasing.

The production technology of reinforcement filler for new multifunctional polymer based composites with weft-knitted structure had been proposed. In such reinforcement filler high-strength carbon fibers (CFs) from PAN precursors (wefts) were laid in a knitted fabric as straight continuous yarns, so in such case these CFs were not twisted by knitting machine to form the loops. Various kinds of chemical and inorganic fibers can be used as base yarn in this case, in particular glass, aramid, carbon fibers from hydrate cellulose and etc. Properties of multifunctional polymer-based composite materials with weft-knitted fillers depend upon fiber composition, relative content of weft and base yarns, scheme filler stacking (1D, 2D and 3D composites). The electrical conductivity of weft-knitted fabrics shows the strong anisotropy along high-strength fibers in comparison with looped rows, depending on the direction of high-strength CFs (weft). Investigation of shielding properties of polymer based composites reinforced by carbon weft-knitted fabrics showed the possibility of using them as shielding materials with the ability to absorb electromagnetic radiation.
