... blends containing hollow fibres, bamboo and cotton/polyester waste on the mechanical properties of the produced fabrics and the appropriate end use. Design/methodology/approach This research included two blends: one consisted of cotton/polyester wastes blended with bamboo and the other to which...

...Seung-Eun Lee Purpose This study aims to explore whether fabric contents, specifically cotton and polyester, possess particular personality dimensions, as posited by Aaker ( 1997 ). The author examined both explicit (conscious, deliberate) and implicit (unconscious, automatic) perceptions of brand...

... In this study, optimizing thermal and permeability properties of different combinations of trilayer composite fabrics was done. The inner layer was 100% wool-knitted single jersey fabric. The middle layer was polyester needle punched non-woven fabric. The outermost layer was nylon-based Core-Tex branded...

... and cause to change their dimensions. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the response of polyester yarns in knitted fabrics to heat setting and post-heat treatments. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the thermal shrinkage behaviour of heat set polyester knitted fabrics when subjected...

... [ Figure 1(a) and (c) ]. At low waterjet pressure, higher bending rigidity of polyester does not allow bending and its efficient transfer of fibre into the fibre mass. SEM image reveals prominent entanglement of fibres on the surface while transfer and intrusion into the bulk is less evident at low...

...Asmaa.A. Salem; Mai.F. Shahin; Hanan.S.El Sayad; Azza.A.El Halwagy This study attempts to highlight the possibility of using natural dyes in transfer printing of polyester fabrics. The used dyes were Turmeric, Alkanet, and Rhubarb. To obtain optimum conditions for transfer printed polyester fabris...

... (Akkshata), on cotton and polyester fabrics was studied with respect to water and oil repellency. All the finish agents exhibited excellent water- and oil-repellent properties on both kinds of fabrics. The contact angle of water on the finished cotton and polyester fabrics was found to be ≥ 140° Nuva HPU...

...Gulzar Ahmad Baig Polyester fabric was dyed with indigo through the exhaust technique by controlling the ratios of sodium dithionite and sodium hydroxide concentrations in the dyebath solution. At different ratios different forms of the indigo existed and each one had different degrees...

...) of 30+ value is a proactive decision, which can simply help to live a healthier life. Hence, an attempt has been made in this study to visualize the effect of an application of titanium dioxide nano finish onto cotton and its blends with viscose and polyester to provide nano UV protection, without...

... values based on suitable algorithms using MATLAB software. The software is able to detect the best estimated edge of fabrics and subsequently the fabric hairiness values are calculated precisely. A series of polyester-viscose blended fabrics with varying blend ratios are selected for the study...

... including polyester/viscose fibers with different blend ratios were produced and abraded under various cycles of traversing abrasion. Yarn hairiness was also measured using an Uster tester 4 apparatus before weaving. High correlation between Uster 4 data and the results obtained from the fuzz measurement...

...Afaf Farag Shahba Different types of curtain fabrics were subject to a long lasting treatment. These fabrics are generally used in the manufacture of curtain fabrics, namely 100% cotton, cotton/viscose, cotton/linen and cotton/polyester. In addition to these fabrics, polyester/linen and polyester...

..., time = 20 minutes and pH = 10, is the most effective method in improving the metal adhesion performance. The performance of nickel-plated polyester fabrics was found to be dependent on the amount of nickel particles adhered on the fabric surface. The properties of optimised nickel-plated polyester were...

...R.H. Gong; A.K. Shekhani Synthetic fibres are more susceptible to thermal damage and have to be processed at lower spindle speeds than cotton on ring spinning machines. Blends of polyester-cotton were spun using ring spinning machine at various spindle speeds. Analysis of the properties...

... application of this non-contacting physical technique on polyester microfibre fabric was systematically studied. Two commercially available high temperature dyes of red and blue were used in this study and results revealed that dyeing rate of both dyes on polyester increased remarkably after laser treatment...

...K.W. Yeung; K. Chan; Q. Zhang; S.Y. Wang The effect of low temperature plasma (LTP) on polyester (PET) is investigated by examining the changes in the dyeing properties of treated PET fabrics. An optimum condition for LTP treatment is determined by orthogonal analysis and this treatment condition...

...C.L. Chong; K.W. Yeung; Z.Y. Cui The dyeing of polyester microfibres with both high energy and low energy disperse dyes has been investigated. The results show the rate of exhaustion on these fibres are more rapid than on regular polyester fibres with no corresponding increase in the colour yield...
