... washing cycles on sewing damage by using this method. Design/methodology/approach Six knitted fabrics, differing in structure and raw material, were produced. Samples were sewn using different sewing parameters, and they were subjected to ten washing cycles. Values of average needle hole area...

... Schematic setup of tests Various types of fabrics for next to skin garments were tested. Table I shows the specification of these fabrics. A1 and A2 are jersey materials for sportswear. A3 and A4 are 3D spacer knitted fabrics for sports bras. C1 through to C4 are fabrics for shirts or blouses...

... of the blend yarns were tested and analyzed. Finally, the knitted fabrics were produced using the spun blend yarns, and the antibacterial property, electromagnetic shielding property, anti-ultraviolet performance, anti-static performance and conventional mechanical, and appearance thermal-wet comfort...

...Esin Sarıoğlu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the bursting strength, bursting distension, air permeability and wale wise wicking rate properties of recycled polyester (r-PET) and virgin polyester (v-PET) raw materials from which single jersey knitted fabric samples are manufactured...

...Virginija Daukantiene; Giedre Vadeike Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the air permeability of knitted fabrics containing elastane fibre and their seams applying both the new approach based on fabric thickness measurement at different pressures and standard method. Design...

... of this paper is to propose a novel technique for modeling fabric-object friction force in knitted fabric simulation based on the mass spring model. Design/methodology/approach In this technique, unlike other studies, distribution of friction coefficient over the fabric surface is not uniform and depends...

... rights only Scale Fuzzing and pilling Knitted fabric Surface friction Wool fiber The surface of wool fiber is characterized by scales, which play an important role in protecting wool from external damage and has influence on hairiness. The scales face toward the tip of fibers, which cause...

... by Kawabata evaluation system. Design/methodology/approach Two soft computing approaches, namely artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy inference system (FIS), have been applied to predict the compression and surface properties of knitted fabrics from finishing process. The prediction accuracy...
