One of the important properties, which determine the quality of a footwear fabric is its abrasive resistance. The paper presents an approach to modeling the change of the fabric geometry induced by abrasive wear. Our interest is focused on the change in the surface filling factor and the fabric thickness...
The aim of this research is to enable corrections to color values of woven fabrics by changing the constructional parameters. It was assumed that when a yarn of certain fineness was not available, it was substituted with a yarn of lower fineness. The different thread fineness caused color deviations between...
This article presents the design and manufacture of a double-layer woven fabric with different friction coefficients on the right and left sides of the fabric, and additional of the friction coefficient differentiated by direction of the fabric. Cotton and viscose yarns have been used as raw materials for the production...
LTP is an ionic gas whose components and characteristics are different from normal gas. A low-temperature plasma LTP treatment was applied to a wool fabric. The LTP-treated wool fabric was tested according to different international standard testing methods, and the results were compared with the industrial requirements ASTM requirements. It...
The objective of the paper is to find ways of improving the mechanical properties and simulating the mechanical behavior of knitted fabrics and knitted reinforced composites, so that the engineering design of such materials and structures may be improved. This paper presents a 2D model based on FEA (finite element...
Comfort characteristics of plain-woven fabrics, containing viscose staple fiber twist-less and hollow fibrous assemblies and core-sheath type DREF-III yarn in weft, have been reported in this paper. The twist-less and hollow fibrous assemblies are the individually separated parallel core and annular sheath components respectively of core-sheath type DREF-III yarn. In...
Various investigations into the tensile properties of plain weft-knitted fabrics have been carried out by various authors. Most of these investigations were based on the micromechanics of knitted structures. This paper presents a 3D model based on the classic elastica theory, which is used to calculate the load-extension curves of...
Surgical gowns must have a barrier effect between the sources of infection and the user (i.e. a healthy person), as well as good wearing comfort. They are often made of woven polyester fabrics. Different fabric constructions are available for this purpose; these are evaluated with reference to their barrier properties....
This paper presents an experimental investigation aimed at broadening the range of knitwear application on composite products of non-conventional destination carried out at the TRICOTEXTIL Institute of Knitting Technology and Techniques. This paper presents an analysis of the structure of net-shaped knitted fabrics as applied for technical composite materials, together...
This paper discusses considerations, experimental analyses, and ways of improving the mechanical properties of weft-knitted fabrics and knitted reinforced composites. It focuses on theoretical analyses of the mechanical behavior of weft-knitted fabrics and weft-knitted reinforced composites made of glass fiber. The objective is to find ways of improving the mechanical...
Woven fabrics with their full, systematically arranged, and non-stochastic structure, are the subject of increasing interest as barriers to fluids, radiation, micro-particles, and microorganisms. The structure of woven fabrics, which is characterized by inter-thread channels of predetermined shape and location, is especially important. This paper presents some procedures for designing...
Polymeric optical fiber POF is used for simple light guide and illumination applications. The polymer optical fiber materials can be utilized in flexible lighting elements, which can be combined with textile structures. The POF woven fabrics are introduced as a flexible alternative to lighting elements. This paper discusses various light-emitting...
This white paper reveals about several regular circuit structures that are proposed. They provide alternatives to the widely used standard-cell structure and have better predictability and a simpler design methodology. A regular global routing scheme is developed. A design flow for use with of all these regular fabrics is discussed.
This executive paper addresses Switch Fabric Architectures and certain other point-to-point interconnects technologies. Publicity and press releases over the last year or more seem to imply that switch fabrics are a new and revolutionary technology, destined to change the computing world as we know it. Although the latter may be...
The AGOA provides for quota-and duty-free treatment for qualifying textile and apparel products. Such treatment is generally limited to products manufactured from yarns or fabrics formed in the United States or a beneficiary country. The AGOA also provides for quota- and duty-free treatment for apparel articles that are both cut...
FOOD AND BEVERAGE CLOSE-UP-8 June 2009-Church & Dwight to Build New Laundry Detergent Plant in PennsylvaniaC2008 - CloseUpMedia - newsdesk@closeupmedia.com Church & Dwight Co. has announced plans to construct a new integrated laundry detergent manufacturing plant and distribution center in York County, Pennsylvania. The Company said...
HIS YOUNGER DAYS, JOCKO CONLAN, THE LATE HALL OF FAME UMPIRE, WAS A popular after-dinner speaker at various sporting functions in the Chicago area. And, occasionally, he would amuse his audience with a favorite story about the difficulty of making the right call on the field. His story...
Donatella Versace dedicated her most recent line of mens-wear to Barack Obama, saying the clothes were designed for "a relaxed man who doesn't need to flex muscles to show he has power," and the Associated Press described the look this way: "The new Versace suit has a structured jacket softened...
Utilizing negative/positive pressure, Flexaust Flex-Lok[R] ET High Temperature Hose is designed for -65 to 1,050[degrees]F continuous service and excursions to 1,250[degrees]F. Available with 6:1 and 8:1 compression ratios, it comes in sizes ranging from 3-12 in. I.D. in standard 25 ft lengths. Hose features single-ply aluminum coated fiberglass ceramic fabric...
The Sun newspaper has come over a bit modest. Following a Channel 4 documentary about media reporting of Muslims, the paper accepts some of its stories were "distorted". But they're not doing themselves justice. They weren't distorted - they were entirely made up. For example, a story about a Muslim...
