The technology can be used in engineering-desired textile attributes, such as fabric softness, durability, and breathability and in developing advanced performance characteristics; namely, water repellency, fire retardancy, and antimicrobial resistance in fibers, yarns, and fabrics.
This approach provides an efficient numerical model for the dynamic analysis of multi-layer fabric structures while taking into account several geometrical and material attributes of the yarns and the fabric.
Higher relative strength of grey dyed fabric is attributed to presence of starch as size on the fabric leading to higher absorption as explained earlier.
The lower roll-off angle of a ZnO treated cotton fabric, which is attributed to the discontinuous three-phase contact line, shows better water-repellent properties.
Inelastic deformations of woven fabric composites are attributed to the formation of multitude of cracks that develop in the material in the fatigue environment.
Human evaluators were used in a modified Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) approach in order to identify four specific tactile attributes of fabric materials—sensible texture, abrasiveness, slipperiness, and fuzziness.
This chapter introduces the classification of hollow woven fabrics and their structural attributes, describes the possible routes of manufacture for different types of hollow fabrics, explains the most attractive properties and potential applications, and discusses the geometrical modelling and techniques used in finite element analysis of this type of structure.
Fabrics with built-in attributes are just the start of a clothing revolution — as are safety hazard warnings.
The difference in thermal absorptivity for carded and combed yarn fabrics may be attributed to difference in carded and combed yarn structure.
The lower values for moisture vapour transmission rate of carded yarn fabrics may be attributed to the difference in the structure of carded and combed yarns, particularly the difference in hairiness values for the same.
