...Debojyoti Ganguly; Chanchal Mondal; Asim Kumar Roy Choudhury Purpose In recent times, wool- and silk-blended fabrics are popular for creating glamourous products. Silk is blended to wool for creating more lustrous effect and to impart strength; on the other hand, wool is responsible for resilience...

...Naraindra Kistamah; Lubos Hes; Khandini Rajmun Purpose The use of nonwoven fabrics in garment has been, up to now, purely functional and hidden from view. In fact, their uses have been limited to garment interlining in the apparel industry. Felted structures from wool have been limited...

... by radio-frequency (rf) plasma graftings on surface properties of wool and denim fabrics. Design/methodology/approach During plasma treatments, processing time was varied under optimized plasma conditions (50 W, rf: 13.56 MHz). All fabrics were comprehensively investigated by means of scanning electron...

...Surinder Tandon Inter-fibre cohesion is regarded as an important property of assemblies, such as slivers, made of wool or any other fibres, with respect to the processing in carding, drawing (gilling) and spinning. In this paper, the results of the multiple regression analyses, and their validation...

...R. Chinniah; S. Rosunee This paper describes the colouration of wool with indigo. The wool fabric is pre-treated with different shrink-resist formulations followed by application of indigo. The novel dyeing procedure has resulted in commercially acceptable indigo-dyed wool, in terms of improved...

... = 0/100, 20/80, 40/60, 60/40 and 80/20 mole/mole %). The deposition of FPEI from an aqueous solution onto the surface of cotton and wool fibres is studied. The adsorption of a charged polymer from an aqueous medium by cotton and wool fibres is investigated at different pH values, and the uptake...

...-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL), Microgel, Deposition, Cotton, Wool, Hair, SEM and Gloss Index 1. Introduction Microgels play an important role in living systems and are of broad interest for a large variety of industrial products (e.g. as storage and separation media) (Kratz et al., 2001). In recent years, microgels...

...Henry Wang; Trevor Mahar; Ron Postle The market for lightweight next-to-skin knitted wool fabrics requires a reliable tactile sensory or handle assessment system. In this paper, eight bipolar pairs of fabric tactile attributes to describe the tactile sensory properties of fifty-two next-to-skin...

...Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai; Rattanaphol Mongkholrattanasit; Wirat Wongphakdee; Jarmila Studničková This research examined a dye extracted from eucalyptus leaves and its application to wool fabric using pad-batch and pad-dry techniques under various conditions. A wool fabric dyed in a solution...

...N.S. Elshemy This research concerns making wool fabrics with dye extracted from cochineal using microwave heating. The result shows good fastness properties. To promote value addition in domestic processing and to boost rural income and employment in small-scale agroenterprises, it is necessary...

...) to the surface of woven wool fabrics are explored. Conductive textile samples have also been prepared by applying emulsions of soluble prepolymerized 3-alkylpyrrole to the fabric surface. Direct applications of a conductive paint to the textile surface eliminate the exposure of the substrate to damaging...

... good fastness properties for cotton, wool and silk fabrics. The innovative solvent extraction of the dry stem-leaves of Illicium griffithii is an easy process; the solvent is removed/recovered and the aqueous extract is used for dyeing. The CIELab and color strength (K/S) of the dyed fabrics...

... been assessed on silk, wool and cotton fibres. These dyes are found to give yellow to purple shades upon dyeing, with very good depth, levelness and brightness on the fibres. These dyes are characterized by infrared (IR) and ¹H NMR spectral studies, visible absorption spectra...

...Heba F. Mansour; A.M. Gamal Ultrasonic assisted extraction of Osage orange with a water-acetone co-solvent has been chosen in part one of this research as a model to study the shade reproducibility of dyeing silk and wool protein-based materials. The use of ultrasound to assist the dyeing...

..., wool and silk dyed fabrics with hue colors ranging from light brown to greenish to brown. The dye uptake by cotton fabric ranged from 55-62%, 68-70% for silk and 59-73% for wool with different mordants. The effectiveness of metal mordant-artocarpus in better dye uptake appears...
