2 x ist's Liquid Cotton line is made of a superfine stretch fiber that ostensibly offers four times as much support as spandex.
In conclusion, fiber angle, fiber architecture (defined as single- versus multiple fiber families in a layer), and the number of layers in a single fiber family structure directly affected tissue swelling behavior, including fiber stretch, fiber reorientation, and tissue deformation.
The revival can be traced in part to municipal officials' decision a few years ago to invest $100 million to stretch fiber-optic lines through much of the city, offering a high-speed data network attractive to technology companies.
This Jil Sander look was rooted in traditional fabrics, not stretch fibers.
"Don't even bother to try any of those on without the right underwear," a saleswoman advised a reporter touring Bloomingdale's to check out the racks of clothes shot through with stretch fibers.
About 200 jobs will be eliminated in Canada, including 85 in Maitland, Ontario, where the company will close a plant in May that makes spandex stretch fibers used in disposable diapers, said Richard Gareau, a spokesman for DuPont Canada.
Ms. Fisher and her team — and unorthodox group of mostly younger women with backgrounds in fields as diverse as art, philosophy and women's studies — are working hard to fine-tune the brand, scaling down the clothes, adding trend-attuned styles and imbuing some with stretch fibers for a springier fit.
Depending on the condition, weave, dyes, stretch, fiber-type, wetness and chemical treatment of the materials making up the clothes its protective power can range from UPF of 5 to 50.
Hydrogel obtained under optimum conditions shows excellent stretching (>100 times), quick self-healing (<1 s), notches insensitive stretching, fiber and film forming ability.
The stretched fiber exhibits a negative value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), while the unstretched PI fiber exhibits a positive value.
The drum collector produced a typical tridimensional structure whereby the rotational speed mechanically stretches fibers and affects their diameter and alignment.
