...Xiansheng Zhang; Xianjing Du; Lili Wang; Meiwu Shi Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of char on the flame retardancy of fabrics by a cone calorimeter, which is an important factor to compare the flame retardancy of different fabrics. Design/methodology/approach...

... of this paper is to investigate the nano-modification of plasma on polyester fabric for pigment inkjet printing. The actual printing performance and the related mechanical behavior of samples were also evaluated. Design/methodology/approach – Polyester fabrics were surface modified by atmospheric pressure...

... of viral barrier fabrics which will remain helpful to the scientific community to start further research work and product development. Eclipse barrier fabrics by action sports fabrics (ASF) group used a combination of hydrophilic amino acids as auxiliary ingredients during TPE film extrusion...

...Wenfang Song; Weidong Yu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a new transient approach for testing water vapor diffusivity of fabrics and fibrous assemblies. Design/methodology/approach An apparatus was designed and built in order to investigate the transient water vapor...

...Xu Wang; Ping Liu; Fumei Wang Purpose Understanding the friction property between fabric and skin is an important issue in both product design and comfort evaluation. The purpose of this paper is to present a new type of tester to evaluate the friction between skin and clothing. Design...

...George K. Stylios; Norman J. Powell The drape attributes of fabrics, number of folds, depth of folds and evenness of folds were measured together with the drape coefficient. The relationship between these measurements and the subjective evaluation of the fabric drape was modelled for each end‐use...

...Z. Wu; C.K. Au; Matthew Yuen Most of the cloth simulation and modelling techniques rely on the energy function of the system. The geometric deformation is related to the energy function by the fabric material characteristics, which are usually difficult to measure directly. This paper discusses how...

...Masako Niwa This paper outlines the history of clothing and modern textile production, from manual systems to modern line‐production systems, and notes that this has been affected by the mechanical properties of fabrics. It also focuses on the roles of textile scientists and the clothing industry...

...S. Kawabata; Y. Yamashita; Y. Endo Power‐net is an extensible fabric and has a net structure. The biaxial extension property of this fabric is analysed and compared with experimental results obtained by a biaxial tensile tester. Figure 1. Structure of the power‐net Figure 2...

...S. Kawabata; Masako Niwa; R. Koztowsky; S. Manys; K. Nakano; Takako Inoue Recently, the Polish National Fiber Research Laboratory provided linen samples. In addition to these Polish fabric samples, we also collected linen fabric samples which were made in Japan and throughout Europe. We have...

... has been developed which enables fabric parts to be sewn together extremely quickly and with a high accuracy. The system places demands on the materials being used, like all automation processes. The fabrics must not necessarly be changed, but it is necessary to understand their performance...

..., compliance of outer fabrics and fusible interlinings and fabric formability on the degree of rippling. Suggests preventive measures to avoid rippling in fused garment parts. Clothing industry Fabrics Materials handling Sewing Tests Nowadays, most garments are fused in certain areas. Rippling...

...David W. Lloyd; F. Mete; K. Hussain Outlines an approach to the problem of simulating the drape of fabrics. The approach is based on representing fabrics as two‐dimensional continua and using the differential geometry of surfaces to describe the shape of the draped fabric and to deduce deformation...

...P. Potluri; I. Porat; J. Atkinson A robotic system for testing fabrics under low‐stress conditions has been developed at UMIST. This system is capable of conducting all the mechanical tests on a single piece of fabric, without operator intervention, thus eliminating human‐related errors. Looks...
