...Yingjie Cai; Yinghui Wang; Le Li; Md. Reazuddin Repon; Md. Nahid Pervez; Jiashuo Chen; Vincenzo Naddeo Purpose This study successfully achieved the whitening of polyester (PET) fibres using OB-1 particles in an aqueous bath supplemented with a D5 solvent. Design/methodology/approach The impact...

...Rıza Atav; Özge Çolakoğlu Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of laser treatment on disperse dye-uptake and fastness values of polyester fabrics. Furthermore, it was aimed to evaluate colors directly over the photos of fabric samples instead of color measuring...

... of natural dyes in textile coloration. Design/methodology/approach Dye extraction was carried out using the aqueous method. The dyeability of the aqueous extract was assessed on cotton, silk and polyester yarns using different mordants (alum, acetic acid, CuSO₄, lemon juice) and without...

...Virginija Daukantienė; Gerda Mikalauskaitė Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the influence of assembly type on the hand property of the polyester-knitted materials containing different amounts of elastane fibre. Design/methodology/approach The hand property of control textile...

... and polyester woven fabric. Design/methodology/approach The selected cotton and polyester fabrics were treated using three different softeners types and three different numbers of rinsing times, namely 5, 10 and 15. The impact of repeated rinse cycle softener treatment on the comfort characteristics like...

.../methodology/approach Investigations were performed with commercially available eight polyester knitted fabrics containing different elastane yarn proportion. Bonded seams were laminated applying the urethane thermoplastic adhesive film of 0.175 mm thickness. Bonds were laminated by heat at 5.6 kPa pressure...

...Eliška Stránská; David Neděla; Jan Křivčík; Kristýna Weinertová; Natália Václavíková Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of thread count in polyester reinforcing fabric on heterogeneous cation exchange membrane mechanical properties and electrochemical performance. Design...

...Warunee Wattanatanom; Sireerat Churuchinda; Pranut Potiyaraj Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential use of the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly as an intumescent flame retardant for polyester, cotton and their blended fabrics. Design/methodology/approach In this study...

...Mahmut Kayar; Suleyman Ilker Mistik; Deniz Inan Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors effecting ultrasonic seam tensile properties. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, 100 percent polypropylene and 100 percent polyester spunbond and meltblown nonwoven...

...K. Vellingiri; T. Ramachandran; P. Senthilkumar Purpose – Any change in physical performance of the fibre corresponds to a change in its molecular structure. Basically polyester is hydrophobic in nature due to the absence of attracting polar groups and the dense packing in its polymeric structure...

... differ by fibre type. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether a selected cotton fabric differed in odour intensity following multiple wear and wash cycles compared to a polyester fabric. Design/methodology/approach – Eight (male and female) participants wore bisymmetrical cotton...
