This study attempts to investigate the pressure behavior of tubular knitted fabrics after a long period of time. For this purpose, two kinds of knitted fabric (plain and interlock) with various stitch lengths were chosen and the interfacial pressure and pressure reduction of fabrics after 48 hours were analyzed at different strain percents. The same tests were performed on the same specimens after repeated washing and repeated usage. Finally, the experimental pressure values were compared with the theoretical results obtained from Laplace's law. The results reveal that the stitch length and strain percent are important factors affecting the interfacial pressure and pressure reduction of both plain and interlock fabrics. As the results of statistical analysis, the repeated washing and repeated usage have significant effect on interfacial pressure and pressure reduction of both fabrics. The comparison between experimental pressure values and theoretical values calculated from Laplace's law shows a considerable difference in both plain and interlock fabrics.

Handle-related properties of woollen fabrics have been demonstrated to be major factors affecting consumer buying attitudes. Handle is the combination of both textural and compressional attributes. Compressional handle has demonstrated processing advantages in woven and knitted fabrics. The handle of processing lots can be manipulated using a variety of technologies but direct manipulation of textural greasy wool handle pre-processing is still crude. On-farm, there is documented evidence that including handle assessment in a selection index provides additional improvements in genetic gain. However, the assessment of greasy wool handle is based on a tactile evaluation of the wool staple by sheep and wool classers, and its application is affected by a lack of framework that instructs assessors on a standard method of assessment. Once a reliable and repeatable protocol is developed, further understanding of the effect greasy wool handle has on final garment quality will be possible.

Clothing comfort is very important feature which is considered as a result of different process of heat exchange between human body, clothing and environment. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of clothing insulation on the heat transfer. The measurements were carried out on commercially 1x1 RIB knitted fabrics used for the production of next-to-skin shirts. The one group of samples are made from 100% cotton yarn and another with 96% cotton and 4%lycra. It is noticed that knitted material composition affected the change in heat resistance. Also, this paper presents and verifies the correlation between the measured values of thermal resistance (Rct) and the knitwear thickness (dpl), the covering factor (K), the porosity of the twists (e) and the surface coefficient (dp). Based on these results, a mathematical model for calculating thermal resistance is proposed. Comparing the results obtained with the proposed equation and the measured results, we can see that the deviations are minimal. The highest deviation for sample C4 is 0.05%,while the largest deviation for sample CL4 is 4.6%.

Abstract Near-neutral bleaching of cotton fabrics at low temperature is of great importance for saving energy and ecological friendliness in textile industry. In this work, glycerol triacetate (GT) was investigated as an activator of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for low temperature bleaching of cotton knitted fabrics, and satisfactory whiteness was obtained. The bleaching properties of H2O2/GT system for cotton was assessed by the CIE whiteness index, H2O2 decomposition rate, concentration of generated peracetic acid (PAA) and bursting strength. Possible factors affecting the performance of H2O2/GT bleaching system were discussed in detail. Adding only 10 mmol/L GT to the hydrogen peroxide solution (60 mmol/L) to bleach cotton knitted fabrics at 60 ℃ for 60 min, the WI was significantly increased from 52.09 to 68.92. By using benzenepentacarboxylic acid as a fluorescent probe for hydroxyl radical (HO·) detection, it was found that GT could clearly promote HO· generation and the concentration of HO· closely related to the WI of cotton fabric. Furthermore, the bleaching mechanism of H2O2/GT system to cotton was proposed by exploring the relationship between WI and HO· concentration. As a bleach activator, GT has more economical benefits and better solubility in water than that of TAED. The H2O2/GT system may provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach as alternative to conventional alkaline high-temperature bleaching of cotton.
