Evaluation of Dye Sorption of Reinforced Zeolite Esparto Fiber
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract Rising concern about environmental issues has promoted the textile industry to investigate appropriate environmentally friendly treatment technology. Effluent aqueous waste containing dye compounds causes serious problems. Removal of dyes from the dye-containing effluents is currently ...
A Comparison Among Performance Characteristics of Various Denim Fading Processes
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the effect of fading methods such as sand-blasting, laser and washing on performance properties of denim products. In this study, on one type of denim fabric, fading methods by laser and sandblasting were applied in different intensities and ...
Fabric Color Changes in Polyester Micro-fibers Caused by the Multiple Reuse of Dispersed-dyes Dye Baths. Part II
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract In a recent article we studied the fabric color change with three dispersed dyestuffs in monochromes (C.I. Disperse Blue 56, C.I. Disperse Yellow 211 and C.I. Disperse Red 167:1) when 100% polyester micro-fiber dye baths were reused several times. In this article we analyze the fabric ...
The Study of Effect of a Polyurethane Filament on Mechanical Properties of Plain Stitch Fabrics
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract In an attempt to investigate good fit of underwear, two kinds of plain stitch fabric were used as test specimens to study their different mechanical properties. The two fabrics were knitted with the same cotton yarn. For one fabric, a polyurethane filament was mixed as a double yarn ...
Evaluation of Surfactant Detergency using Statistical Analysis
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract In this article the use of statistical analysis to determine the efficiency of surfactants as washing agents is presented. Two types of surfactants of different ion activities, three different types of fabrics, and four different types of soil tea, coffee, red wine, and charcoal - were ...
Fabrics Made from Non-conventional Blends: What Can We Expect from them Related to Frictional Properties?
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract This paper briefly describes a novel patented laboratory equipment, which was studied, designed, and manufactured at the University of Minho, Portugal, based on a new method of accessing friction coefficient of fabrics and other two-dimensional non-rigid surfaces, as well as its ...
Effect of Solvent Exposure on the Filtration Performance of Electrostatically Charged Polypropylene Filter Media
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract Solvent-induced performance deterioration in corona charged polypropylene electret filter media was studied. Electret media, exposed to isopropanol (IPA) in the liquid phase, exhibited reduced filtration efficiency with negligible changes in the pressure drop across the media. Scanning ...
Effects of Woven Fabric Construction and Color on Ultraviolet Protection
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract This paper presents the effects of woven fabric construction and color on the ultraviolet protection factor. Weave type, fabric tightness, cover factor, volume porosity and color of lightweight summer woven fabrics were observed in this research. Color had the biggest influence on the ...
Migration of Fibers in Air-jet Yarn
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract The air-jet spun yarn consists of a core of parallel fibers wrapped by surface fibers. Many research workers have carried out a wealth of work on fiber migration of yarn, an important structural characteristic. Fiber integration and nature of twisting determine to a large extent the ...
Thermal Behavior of Microencapsulated Fragrances on Cotton Fabrics
Mar 01, 2009; ... Abstract Microencapsulated products are very common in some fields, such as pharmacy, and the textile industry has recently incorporated them into their products. First, this research assessed the presence of fragrance microcapsules on cotton fabric using different padding applications and ...
