The Relationship

Cotton woven fabrics were treated with resin and hydrophobic agent for reducing the water retention value and improving the drying speed. The relationship among resin dosage, water retention value and drying speed were studied. The different fabrication methods of hydrophobic cottons were emphasized. When incorporating part of hydrophobic cottons in the fabric, the water retention value and drying speed of the fabric can be further improved, while the wearing comfort of the cotton fabrics can remain. By these treatments, the cotton apparels can be more easily washed and dehydrated and will consume less energy during home laundry and drying.

The Relationship

A range of intricate finished seamless shaped garments have been developed with the aim to fit predetermined sizes. The shape is created by using woven tubular fabrics with differential shrinkage in the same garment. The differential shrinkage is obtained by altering the fabric construction parameters at strategic locations along the length of the garment. The construction arameters include different weaves (plain, 2/2 basket, 1/3 twill, 2/2 twill, and crowfoot), weft densities, weft yarn counts, and weft yarns with different shrinkages (cotton, cotton that contains spandex, and cotton/polyester yarns). The weft yarn tension is used as an additional parameter to influence fabric shrinkage. A total of thirty-three woven fabrics are formed to establish the relationship between the construction parameters, weft tension, and shrinkage of the finished woven fabric. The relationship is used to produce a range of intricate garments with inherent shapes and predetermined sizes.

The Relationship

To evaluate the ability of woven fabrics to drape in a more accurate way, a three-dimensional point cloud of a draped woven fabric was captured via an in-house drape-scanner. A new indicator, total drape angle (TDA), was proposed based on the three-dimensional fabric drape to characterize the ability of a woven fabric to drape. The relationship between TDA and the drape coefficient (DC) was analyzed to validate the performance of TDA. The result indicated that TDA is more stable and representative than the traditional DC in characterizing the ability of a woven fabric to drape. In addition, the drape angle distribution function (DADF) of the triangular mesh was employed to describe fabric drape, as well as to bridge the gap between drape configuration and the warp bending rigidity of woven fabric. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between the real warp bending rigidity value and what was predicted warp based on DADF and fabric weight was 0.952.

Dendrocalamus Giganteus

In this paper, two groups of Dendrocalamus giganteus Munro pulp were obtained from conventional kraft pulping (the maximum pulping temperature was 165°C) and low-temperature kraft pulping (the maximum pulping temperature was only 135°C) under the premise of kappa number of about 17, and the viscosity of them were 1240 mL•g-1 and 1426 mL•g-1 respectively. Then the handsheets was treated with dry heat aging and the simulation of pulp recycling was investigated. In addition, the relationship between the pulp viscosity and recycling times of pulp were studied. The results showed that the viscosity and water retention value of two groups of pulp decreased with increasing of recycling times. However, the recycling characteristic of the pulp with high viscosity from low-temperature kraft cooking was better.

The Relationship

Angle-interlock woven fabric offers an option for making female body armor as it can form integrally the required dome shapes because of its extraordinary moldability and satisfactory ballistic performance. A mathematical model is created to determine the pattern geometry for the front panel of female body armor, and the front panel can be quickly created using this mathematical model. However, the body armor is multi-layer, which indicates that the relationship between the thickness of the fabric and the pattern block projection for different layers of fabric needs to be investigated, in order to create the whole panel, to improve this novel approach for making seamless female body armor with satisfactory ballistic performance.

High tenacity polyester plain woven fabric punctured at multi angle layers were investigated. The main objective of the work was to analyse the effect of multi angle layered arrangement to quasi static puncture energy on different magnitude force. High tenacity polyester plain woven fabrics were weaved by using a rapier weaving machine at 300 rpm and 100% efficiency. The woven fabric samples consisted of different angles (90º, 0º, 45º and 135º). The maximum layers of woven fabric samples were two layers. The work was designed to evaluate the relationship between quasi static puncture energy of different load cell and multi angle layered of woven fabric. The results suggested that 10kN load cell gave the best value of puncture test and had been considered the appropriate force to test on woven fabrics.

The Relationship

Auxetic fabrics with traditional filaments and auxetic structures have been provided by knitting method; however, the auxetic behavior and applicability of woven fabric with auxetic yarns remain to be studied. Thus, the paper aims to present the special characters of woven fabrics with heliacal auxetic yarns. Auxetic yarns with the maximum value of Poisson's ratio −0.88 were used as weft yarns to do the weaving by the semi-automatic loom. Then the properties of the fabrics have been tested and analyzed under tensions of different directions (warp, weft, and diagonal). The results indicated that the fabric presented auxetic effect with the maximum value of Poisson's ratio −0.3 under diagonal tension and also showed self-curling and self-folding behavior in natural state. Moreover, the relationship between properties and fabric weaves was also discussed and analyzed. It is expected that the study of fabrics with helical auxetic yarns could promote the practical applications of auxetic textiles such as the self-folding property for smart cladding materials.

This paper reports a study on the geometrical analysis of bi-stretch auxetic woven fabric based on a re-entrant hexagonal geometry. The fabric was first designed and fabricated. Then, the fabric was subjected to tensile tests, and changes in the geometry of the fabric structural unit cell at different tensile strains were observed when stretched either in the warp or weft direction. Based on the observations, a geometrical model was proposed for each stretch direction and used to establish the relationship between Poisson’s ratio and tensile strain. The semi-empirical equations for both stretch directions were finally obtained by fitting geometrical parameters with experimental results. It is expected that the semi-empirical equations obtained in this study could be used in the design and prediction of the auxetic behavior of bi-stretch auxetic woven fabrics made with the same type of materials and geometry, but with different values of geometrical parameters.

Abstract This study aimed to assess the effect of drying unbleached Eucalyptus cellulose fibers after the application of pretreatments in order to optimize the microfibrillation process, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of NaOH pretreatments in reducing energy consumption for production of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). Pretreatments with 0 wt% (untreated), 5 wt% and 10 wt% NaOH were evaluated. The length and width of the fibers pretreated with NaOH decreased significantly, mainly with hasher pretreatments. The removal of hemicellulose from the fiber cell wall was an important factor concerning the degree of fibrillation of the fibers. Pretreating fibers with 5 wt% NaOH for 2 h increased the water retention value (WRV), in addition to presenting the lowest energy consumption for fibrillation, promoting energy savings of up to 48%. Pulps that were not dried after the NaOH pretreatments incurred in easier microfibrillation and lower energy consumption when comparing to the dried pulp, which shows the negative impact of drying on the fibers to obtain the MFC.

The Relationship

Moisture management is defined as the controlled movement of water vapour and liquid water (perspiration) from the surface of the skin to the atmosphere through the fabric. The ability of moisture transport is a very important feature of textile materials from the point of view of the physiological comfort of usage clothing made of these materials. Among the different textile materials (woven, knitted and nonwoven), seersucker woven fabric is considered as having good comfort-related properties. The fabrics are characterised by the occurrence of puckered and flat strips in the warp direction. The puckered effect generates air spaces between the body and the fabric, keeping the wearer cool in hot conditions as the puckered area holds the fabric away from the skin during usage. In the work presented, seersucker woven fabrics of different patterns of the puckered strips were investigated. The aim of the work was to analyse the relationship between the structure of seersucker fabrics and their moisture management properties. Measurement of the moisture transport properties of seersucker woven fabrics was made using a Moisture Management Tester M290, produced by SDL Atlas. Investigations performed showed that the properties of seersucker woven fabrics characterising their ability to transfer liquid moisture are different depending on the variant of the repeat of puckered strips.
