The materials structures from the regenerated bamboo fiber (namely bamboo pulp fiber), the functional polyester fiber (UV-resistance polyester) and the profiled polyester were analyzed. 28 pieces of fabrics through blending, mixing and matching were designed and woven. The properties including thermal-wet comfort (such as air permeability, moisture permeability and water absorbance etc.) and other functions (such as UV-resistance and anti-bacteria) on those fabrics were tested, discussed and analyzed. The result is that when the radio of the functional polyester reach 45~50 %, the radio of regenerated bamboo fiber in 50 %, the structure is 3/1 or 2/1 twill weave,the double-layer-like tightness woven fabrics avoiding finished and bad hand feel will perform cool , UV-resistance, anti-bacteria multi-function. It will be a good choice to use these fabrics in summer shirts. It will give some references to the development of summer new functional products.

Abstract Owing to growing demand for comfortable clothes, elastane filament yarns are being used in fabrics for several garments. In this study, core spun yarns were produced with cotton fibres and PBT/elastane filament yarns (cotton as sheath material, PBT yarn and elastane as core yarns). Twill woven (1/3 Z) fabrics were produced by using core spun yarns (30 tex) and cotton yarns (30 tex) as weft, and 100% cotton yarn (59 tex) as warp yarns. The fabrics consisting of PBT were washed at 100°C for 30 minutes to gain the elasticity. The woven fabrics’ weight, thickness, elongation, permanent elongation, dimensional stability, air permeability, thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity characteristics were tested and statistically evaluated. According to the results, the fabrics containing PBT and elastane filaments had similar elongation and shrinkage values. PBT filament yarns have a great potential to produce lightweight elastic fabrics.

In this paper we demonstrate the possibility of using the close relationship between structure and air permeability of a woven fabric for the detection of the non-uniformity (or defects) in the structure of the fabric. Air permeability of fabrics is a principal property of the structure of a textile material. A very small change in the structure of the fabric at a given location causes a change in the permeability at that location. First we measure the air permeability at defined locations of the fabric. The method allows us to detect areas with an extreme value of permeability – the locations “suspected” of extreme unevenness of fabric's structure. Second, we explore the structure of the fabric in these areas of extreme values of the permeability and attempt to determine the causes of the irregularities in the fabric's structure. To quantify and describe the degree of these irregularities we applied methods of image analysis and statistical processing on acquired data. For our experiment, woven fabrics in the plain weave made from 100% staple yarn polyester were used. Results of our research confirm that significantly greater permeability variations occur in the weft direction of the fabric. Subsequent analysis of the structure of the fabric shows the bimodal nature or the data corresponding to the measurement of width of inter-yarn pore in the place of the maximal value of permeability. The observed higher value of permeability can be attributed to the irregularity of warp yarns at a given location of fabric. Initial permeability measurements enabled us to detect locations of its extreme values. Further close examination of these “suspected” locations of the fabric by a detailed analysis of the structure lead to the determination of the causes of the related irregularities.

The electronic appliance is capable of emitting electromagnetic waves that will cause the damage of electrical equipment and influence peoples health. In this study, stain steel filament (SS filament) and 75D PET filament were used to manufacture SS/PET composite yarn The SS/PET composite yarn were made by the wrapping machine, which the core yarn is stain steel filament, wrapped yarn is 75D PET filament and the wrapping layers is varied as one and two. After that, the composite yarn is fabricated by the automatic sampling loom into composite woven fabrics. The composite SS/PET woven fabrics were under the tests of electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and air permeability. The test results revealed that the EMSE of the one-layer composite woven fabric is 9.5 dB at 900 MHz, but the EMSE decreases as test frequency increases. When laminating layer added to three layers, the EMSE raise up to 12.6 dB. The EMSE of composite woven fabric reached at 29.9 when the laminated angle is 45°. And the air permeability decreases as the laminate layer increases, which the thickness of sample affect air to pass through the sample.

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

The number of filaments in yarn cross-section, weave density, and weave type are considered the most important factors that affect the property of air permeability of multifilament woven fabrics. Microfilament yarns significantly affect the air permeability property of this type of fabric because of the low porosity between the filaments. This study deals with the development of a fuzzy logic model for predicting the air permeability of multifilament polyester woven fabrics produced from conventional and microfilament yarns. The polyester multifilament yarns used in this study were produced with three different microfilament fineness and two conventional filament fineness levels. The woven fabric samples used in this study were obtained in three weave types: plain, twill, and satin, and with five different weave densities. In accordance with the experimental test results, both regression analysis and fuzzy logic system were built. The air permeability results generated from the developed fuzzy model and the regression equations were compared with the experimental values. Satisfactory and accurate prediction results were obtained with the developed fuzzy logic model. The mean absolute error of the fuzzy model and regression analysis were found to be 2.32%, 12.59%, respectively. Therefore, it was confirmed that the fuzzy model was superior in predicting air permeability.

Simulations of manufacturing processes are of utmost importance in order to check on process feasibility of composites products already during the design phase. In order to benchmark the different software for (thermo)forming simulations of textiles and composites a benchmark geometry was agreed during previous Esaform conferences. Round 2 results have led to the insight that a stronger definition of the benchmark was needed, see [1]. The geometry, referred to as double-dome, combines doubly curved regions with steep walls and small radii. Therefore it may be considered critical with respect to forming behavior. As testing material a Twintex comingled glass/PP both as plain and twill weave woven fabric were chosen [2]. This paper addresses the simulation of the double-dome with the finite-element software Aniform. Shear angles, draw-in and the possible presence of wrinkles will be taken into account and compared to round 2 results of other participants. Additionally, a numerical sensitivity study of material and process parameters will be presented in order to identify major influences on the forming results. The paper concludes with a number of recommendations for further research as well as possible improvements for numerical modeling.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of materials, three dimensional (3D) structure and number of fabric layers on ultraviolet protection factor (UPF), air permeability and thickness of fabrics. Design/methodology/approach Total 24 fabrics samples were developed using two 3D structures and two weft materials. In warp direction cotton (CT) yarn and in weft direction polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) were used. Air permeability, thickness and UPF testings were performed and relationship among fabric layers, air permeability, thickness and UPF was developed. Findings UPF and thickness of fabrics increases with number of fabric layers, whereas air permeability decreases with the increase in number of fabric layers. Furthermore, change of multilayer structure from angle interlock to orthogonal interlock having same base weave does not give significant effect on UPF. However, change of material from polyester (PET) to polypropylene (PP) has a dominant effect on UPF. Minimum of three layers of cotton/polyester fabric, without any aid of ultraviolet radiation (UV) resistant coating, are required to achieve good. Cotton/polyester fabrics are more appropriate for outdoor application due to their long-term resistance with sunlight exposure. Originality/value Long-term exposure to UV is detrimental. So, there is need of proper selection of material and fabric to achieve ultraviolet protection. 3D fabrics have yarns in X, Y as well as in Z directions which provide better ultraviolet protection as compared to two dimensional (2D) fabrics. In literature, mostly work was done on ultraviolet protection of 2D fabrics and surface coating of fabrics. There is limited work found on UPF of 3D woven fabrics.

The annular woven shaped fabrics are woven on ordinary weaving frames, and equally distributed long and short wefts in the fabric, which can make the whole fabric has equal weft density. Though the fabric is woven on ordinary weaving frame, the batch roller is cone frustum, not cylinder. When batching the annular shaped woven fabric, the share deformation happens. In this paper, adopted plain weave and twill weave to weave the shaped fabric, and contrast the shear deformation between the two weaves. The result shows that the woven fabric with twill weave is softer, and easy to reach deformation balance in the process of weaving, so the woven fabrics with twill weave have more equal weft density and more flatten.

The basic intention of the presented research is to analyse the permeability properties of woven fabrics containing two-ply fancy yarns in the weft direction. Within the framework of presented research, two-ply fancy yarns were analysed. Because of their structure, they are classified as fancy yarns with structural effects. The first analysed two-ply fancy yarn is made of the mixture of 81% cotton and 19% viscose. The second is made of the mixture of 67% viscose and 33% flax. For the purpose of the presented research, woven fabrics containing two-ply fancy yarn were made in three different densities in weft (10 threads per cm, 13 threads per cm, and 16 threads per cm) in the twill weave T 1/3 Z. The theoretical part includes the historical development of the production of the fancy yarns, a detailed discussion of the ring production processes, the types and the structure of the fancy yarns, their use, and the global and European market of the fancy yarns. The experimental part consists of three parts. In the first part, the structural properties of the analysed fancy yarns were researched (the fineness of the fancy yarn, the frequency of repeating the effects per one meter of the yarn, the direction of twisting the fancy yarn, the number of the twists of the basic and the effective part, the diameter of the fibers, the diameter of the basic and the effective part, the fineness of individual components, the direction of the twist of individual components, and the percentage of the inside twist of individual components). In the second part, constructional properties of the analysed woven fabrics with the fancy yarn in the weft were researched (mass, thickness, the density of the warp and weft threads, and openness of the surface). In the third part, permeability properties of the analysed woven fabrics with the fancy yarn in the weft were researched where greater attention was paid to air permeability and water vapour permeability. The results of the research showed that the samples with the first two-ply fancy yarn in the weft (81% cotton and 19% viscose) have greater air permeability and water vapour permeability. Meanwhile, the samples with the second two-ply fancy yarn in the weft (67% viscose and 33% flax) have lesser abrasion resistance and poorer dimensional stability while being washed.
