Permeability Measurements of Strained Fibrous Networks
Jun 01, 2008; ... Abstract Textiles are used in many industrial applications. For example, they are used in paper-making. Indeed, during the pressing of paper, felts are used to transport the wet paper web and to recover the water expressed from the wet sheet. To improve this operation, felt permeability has to ...
The Effects of Cashmere Attributes on the Efficiency of Dehairing and Dehaired Cashmere Length
Jun 01, 2008; ... Abstract This study investigated the effects of raw cashmere attributes on the efficiency of dehairing and on dehaired cashmere length. The results show that the following attributes of raw cashmere were associated with more efficient processing and/or the production of longer cashmere: white ...
Use of Artificial Neural Networks for Determining the Leveling Action Point at the Auto-leveling Draw Frame
Jun 01, 2008; ... Abstract Artificial neural networks with their ability of learning from data have been successfully applied in the textile industry. The leveling action point is one of the important auto-leveling parameters of the drawing frame and strongly influences the quality of the manufactured yarn. This ...
Static Tearing, Part I: Its Significance in the Light of European Standards
Jun 01, 2008; ... Abstract Static tearing is one of the most common types of failure in textile fabrics and determines the durability of an article. The tear resistance is the strength parameter, which characterizes the textile product with respect to its resistance to outer mechanical forces. In the presented ...
A Note on an Optical Method to Evaluate Fiber Dispersion in Wet-laid Nonwoven Process
Jun 01, 2008; ... Abstract A laboratory set-up using an online vision system was designed to observe the dispersion behavior of glass and polyester fibers. The effect of different blend ratios, agitation speed, and dispersion time in dispersing "logs" and formation of "ropes", was studied. Our results indicate ...
Parameters Influencing Dyeability of Cotton Warp at Dip-Dyeing for Jeans
Jun 01, 2008; ... Abstract The purpose of this research was to determine the influence of temperature, pH, and the addition of sodium oxide silicium oxide (soso) on the dyeability of cotton warp during the process of dip-dyeing. A simulation of the dip-dyeing technique was used. The results show a negligible ...
Effects of Polarity on Electrospinning Process
Jun 01, 2008; ... Abstract As one of the nanofiber production processes, the electrospinning process has a conventional configuration consisting of a charged syringe and a grounded collector plate. In this study, the polarities of the electrodes are reversed so that while the collector is charged by power supply, ...
Treatment of Raw Cotton Fibers with Cellulases for Nonwoven Fabrics
Jun 01, 2008; ... Abstract Enzymatic treatment of fabrics is known to have a negative impact on the fabrics' tensile characteristics. The strength loss problems would be more severe in the case of nonwovens, since cellulase could attack bonded areas of the fabric. To prevent the fabric strength loss, a study was ...
