Sansevieria or known as tongue-in-law plant is an ornamental plant that is quite popular in Indonesia. This plant is very easily cultivated, easy to grow in areas with less water and sunlight. This plant contains potential natural fibers used as raw material requirements for textile industry, specifically in fabric making. The aims of this research were to determine the production process consisting and analyzing the characteristics of woven fabrics from the leaves of the tongue-in-law plant. The method of fibers extraction used the mechanical decortication process and making woven fabric is done using ATBM. The research method used is descriptive method. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the woven cloth of tongue-in-law has color characteristics with a value of L* 69.73; a* 1.86; b* 17,38; H 83,88. Besides that, it is known the mechanical characteristics of the tongue-in-law woven fabric, the tensile strength of the fabric, the weft  direction of 46.05 kg and the warp direction of 19.96 kg; weft direction stretch 22% and stretch direction of the warp of 55.20%; weft direction tear strength 19.17% and wrap direction 4.60%; and air penetrating power 116.2 cm3/cm2/s.The value of the tensile strength of the tongue-in-law woven fabric produced in the warp direction does not meet the standards of SNI 08-0056-2006 woven fabric quality requirements for suit.Therefore, woven fabric produced is intended as a craft material.

Anisotropy is the characteristic which is typical for most materials, especially woven fabrics. Influence of direction of tensile force action on the properties of the fabric is big and frequently tested. The woven fabric can be defined as orthogonal elastomer. The values of elastic modulus of woven fabrics for different angles of extension direction were analyzed. Three types of fabric samples of different weaves (plain, twill, sateen) and the same raw material composition were tested under tensile forces in seven directions oriented with 15° increment with respect to the weft direction. Elastic modulus of woven fabrics was determined experimentally in the laboratory. Based on the experimentally obtained values, theoretically calculated elastic modulus for arbitrarily chosen fabric directions was calculated. A good agreement between experimental results and the calculated obtained values of the elastic modulus was shown, so the theoretical equations can be used with high accuracy to calculate the elastic modulus of the fabric in various directions. Therefore, the measurements need to be implemented when the tensile force acting on the fabric only in the warp (90°), weft (0°) and at angle of 45°.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of Cordyline Australis fibers as an alternate raw material for textile. Design/methodology/approach The water retting method was used to extract the fiber. Cordyline Australis fibers were characterized in terms of the morphology of fibers (fiber cross-sectional and longitudinal), fiber chemical functional groups, tensile strength and elongation, fineness, fiber length, moisture regain and friction coefficient. Findings Cordyline Australis fiber strands consist of several individual fibers. At the longitudinal section, the fiber cells appeared as long cylindrical tubes with a rough surface. The cross-section of the Cordyline Australis fibers was irregular but some were oval. The key components in the fibers were cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The tensile strength of the fiber per bundle was 2.5 gf/den. The elongation of fibers was 13.15%. The fineness of fiber was 8.35 Tex. The average length of the fibers was 54.72 cm. Moisture Regain for fiber was 8.59%. The friction coefficient of fibers was 0.16. The properties of the fiber showed that the Cordyline Australis fiber has the potential to be produced into yarn. Originality/value To the best of the author's knowledge, there is no scientific article focused on the Cordyline Australis fibers. Natural fibers from the leaves of the Cordyline Australis plant could be used as an alternate material for textile.

Cooking oil waste that has been disposed could contamine the environment. However, if it is processed well, it can potentially become a raw material of polyurethane. The aim of this study was to determine the best polyurethane on the tensile strength, impact strength, elongation at break, water absorption, characterization of Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and the characterization of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The variables used in this study were ambient process temperature with 440 rpm stirring speed, 1-minute stirring time, the ratio of polyoland WCO was 7:3 (% w/w), and the ratio of Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI) and WCO was 1:1; 1:2; 1:3; 1:4 (% w/w). The results obtained from the analysis of the best tensile strength against the polyurethane synthetic was in the 1:1 ratio of mixed variations between oil and TDI with a value of 0.403 MPa. The best impact strength was in the ratio of mixed variations between oil and TDI with 1:4 (% w/w) with a value of 600.975 J/m2. The best elongation at break against polyurethane foam synthetic was in the 1:3 ratio of mixture variations of oil and TDI with a value of 4.506%.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to facilitate the production of cotton spandex woven fabric with some user-friendly properties like wearer comfort, super stretch and elasticity. The findings could contribute to ease spandex production and to optimize its property of elasticity. Stretch or a super stretch property is generally desirable, as it can increase the comfort level of those who wear it. In this experiment, the difficulties which were identified while manufacturing cotton spandex woven fabric resolved after identification. Design/methodology/approach In this experiment, three types of cotton spandex woven fabrics, with different composition and constructions, were used to find out their elastic properties. Temperature ranging from 160°C to 200°C with the machine speed of 20 to 26 MPM (meter per minute) was applied with an adjusted industrial setting with the facilities of a stenter machine to optimize the properties of cotton spandex woven fabric. Findings The findings establish that the temperature treatment closely compacted the elastic portions with cotton fibers, giving stability to the spandex yarn, which as a result, influenced cotton spandex woven fabric’s elastic properties, namely, stretch, growth and recovery. The consequences of temperature on cotton spandex yarns were assessed using a microscope, and the results were subsequently analyzed. Research limitations/implications Because of the poor facilities in testing laboratory, only few tests with microscopic evaluation were conducted to assess the elastic performances of cotton spandex woven fabric. Practical implications It is a practice-based research, and the findings could be beneficial to personnel in the textile industry, who are responsible for the manufacturing of cotton spandex woven fabric. Social implications This research could enhance the wearer’s satisfaction, with some comfort elastic properties, which can have a positive influence over spandex clothing industries. Originality/value This research establishes that heat setting had a progressive influence on the production of cotton spandex woven fabric and for the optimization of its elastic performances. This research opens a possible way for scholars to further study in this field.

Stretch woven fabrics continue to grow in popularity, offering superior elastic properties and comfort. However, there are a number of factors (e.g., elongation, recovery, growth, tensile strength, tearing strength, and shrinkage) that can affect the attributes and performance of stretch woven fabric. These were investigated in the present study in relation to different elastane content and thread density. Blended cotton woven fabrics containing an increased elastane content gave enhanced elongation and recovery, despite a decrease in thread density. The tensile strength, tearing strength, shrinkage, and fabric growth decreased when the elastane ratio increased, regardless of the decline in warp thread density.

Air and moisture transport properties of plain woven fabric made from 20sNec cotton in warp and 20sNec pure yarns of tencel, modal, pro-modal, bamboo, polyester and cotton yarn inweft direction are studied. Major characteristics added for this study include water vapour permeability, air permeability, wettingtime and wicking speed. In comparison of six different samples of variously composed materials in weft direction, the air permeability of tencel was minimum and polyester was maximum, whereas the reverse results were observed for both the samples in case of water vapour permeability. Among the blends with cotton, thermal conductivity of bamboo and thermal absorptivity of polyester was found maximum whereas the minimum thermal resistance was observed for pro modal yarn in weft. Similar pattern was observed in spreading speed and wetting time of the polyester when observed from either side top or bottom. Air and moisture comfort properties of bamboo and pro modal, having nearly similar values are suggested to be used in garments used for golf players

Fibrous composite materials continue to be researched and developed with the long-term goal of becoming an alternative to metal substitutes. Due to the nature of the fiber reinforced composite material, its high tensile strength, and low density compared to metal. In general, the composition of the composite consists of reinforcing fibers and a matrix as the binding material. The potential of natural fibers as a reinforcing composite material is still being developed and investigated. The research that has been done aims to determine the characteristics of the tensile strength of the composite strengthened with Hibiscus tiliaceust bark powder (HTBP) with alkaline NaOH and KOH treatment. The reinforcing material used is HTBP and the matrix is polyester resin, with volume fraction of 5%, 10% and 20% with an alkaline treatment of 5% NaOH and 5% KOH with immersion for 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 8 hours. Tensile testing specimens and procedures refer to ASTM D3039 standard. The results of this study showed the highest tensile strength of 34.96 MPa in the alkaline treatment of 5% KOH, soaking time of 8 hours with a volume fraction of 10% and the lowest tensile strength of 21.96 MPa of 5% KOH alkaline treatment, soaking time of 6 hours with a volume fraction of 20%. .with 10% volume fraction of 34.96 MPa and the lowest tensile strength was 5% KOH alkaline treatment at 6 hours immersion with 20% volume fraction.

AbstractElectro-conductive (EC) yarns can be woven into a hybrid fabric to enable electrical current to flow through the fabric from one component A to another component B. These hybrid fabrics form the bases of woven e-textiles. However, at the crossing point of an EC yarn in warp and in weft direction, there is a contact resistance and thus generation of heat may occur in this area. Both phenomena are inseparable: if the contact resistance in the EC contact increases, the generated heat will increase as well. Predicting this electrical and thermal behavior of EC contacts in hybrid woven fabrics with stainless steel yarns is possible with a mathematical model based on the behavior of a metal oxide varistor (MOV). This paper will discuss in detail how this can be achieved.

Tensile strength has been accepted as one of the most important performance attributes of woven textiles. In this work, multiple linear regression models are developed by using empirical data for the prediction of woven fabric tensile strength manufactured from cotton yarns. Tensile strength of warp & weft yarns, warp & weft fabric density, and weave design were used as input parameters to determine warp- and weft-way tensile strength of the woven fabrics. The developed models are able to predict the fabric strength with very good accuracy. Warp yarn strength and ends per 25 mm are found to be the most dominant factors influencing fabric strength in warp direction while weft yarn strength and picks per 25 mm are most vital in weft direction.
