Other French groups, too, are evaluating the new fabrics.
As an example of multiple properties and their implementation in textile fabrics, Gerber et al. evaluated the effect of silver-tricalcium phosphate nanoparticles (Ag/TCP) onto polyamide 6 (PA6) fibers to build a reactive system against bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Streptococcus sanguinis, showing a killing efficiency of 99.99 or 100%% within 24 h contact time, respectively [38].
We evaluated the washing color fastness of the silk fabrics treated with gold NP.
Evaluating the effect of fabric structure on the cut resistance property, it is evident from Fig. 6a and b that woven fabrics tend to resist that cutting action more as compared to knitted fabric.
UV protection factor (UPF) is an important factor for evaluating the ability of fabrics to resist UV light from passing through fabrics and touching the skin [28, 29].
The in-house module is able to not only automatically generate 3-D unit cell (or RVE) model of the braided fabric layer but evaluate the homogenized orthotropic material properties by automatically performing a serious of unit cell finite element analyses based on the superposition method.
The stiffness and strength of orthogonal twill woven fabric were predicted to evaluate the failure spinning speed of the fabric composite disks.
A new test apparatus was designed to evaluate the thermal mechanical properties of fabric made from polymeric materials in one step.
In order to evaluate the repeatability and precision of fabric data-collecting glove, a commercially available bending sensor, the Flex Sensor 2.2 (Spectra Symbol, Salt Lake City, UT 84119, USA), is used as a contrast to test the fabric sensor glove.
The objective is to evaluate the effect of the building fabric (particularly the straw bale wall construction) in moderating the impact of climatic variation on the internal environment, in order to assess the need for auxiliary heating or cooling in the different areas of the building to achieve the thermal stability required particularly in the barrel storage room.
