Quality is the essence of any product for consumer satisfaction. However, different people have different perception of quality. Eventually the definition of quality varies from product to product and thus it is much more complex in textile clothing material evaluation. The end use application of a specific clothing material determines what should...

The focus of this paper is to describe the effect of change in surface friction of single layer para-aramid (Twaron®) square woven fabric and change in knife penetration angle on its Quasi-Static Knife Penetration Resistance (QSKPR). The surface friction of fabric was changed by depositing SiO2 on its surface by using water glass as a precursor. Si...

The electrical conductivity of a polymer can be increased by the addition of a conductive material in particulate or fibrillar form. That are a lot of possibilities of conducting additives composites, for example chopped or milled carbon fibers, over multiwalled or singlewalled carbon nanotubes, graphite, graphene nanopellets and carbon black or fu...

Waterproof breathable layered fabrics allow water vapor passing through, but resist liquid water to pass. This ability of the fabrics to protect rain and snow water while allowing sweat vapor to evaporate from inside to outside atmosphere, leads them to be used as outdoor sportswear or protective clothing. The big challenge of enhanced hydrostatic...

Transmission of electrical charges in polymer composites depends not only on quality of their structure but also on electrical properties of individual components. That are a lot of possibility of fillers composites, for example chopped or milled carbon fibres, over multiwalled carbon nanotubes, singlewalled carbon nanotubes, graphene nanopellets a...

Nowadays, the utilization of 3-Dimensional (3D) porous textile materials by the civil and mechanical engineers for improved acoustical environment and shear behavior during composite forming has widened the research scope. Since spacer textile fabrics have superior functional characteristics such as acoustical, thermal and shear characteristics com...

Spacer fabrics consist of three layers of fabrics which have ability to complement and maximize the essential thermal clothing comfort for various applications. Clothing comfort is also defined by the tactile sensations felt by a subject through the mechanical interactions between the body and the garment. In this research work, the thermal and com...

The thermo-physiological comfort and compression properties of knitted spacer fabrics have been evaluated by varying the different spacer fabric parameters. Air permeability and water vapor transmission of the fabrics were measured using the Textest FX-3300 air permeability tester and PERMETEST. Thermal behavior of fabrics was evaluated by (TCi) th...

Bottles made from poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) can be recycled and reused the material to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills. In this study, electrospun fibres from recycled PET were produced by a melt-electrospinning method. The effect of the melting temperature, applied voltage and distance between die and collector on the mor...

Electro spinning is a process to generate nanofibers. With this process, many applications can be produce. This paper presents, recycled Poly (Ethylene Terephthalate), (r-PET) fibers from PET bottle produce by Melt electro spinning compared with Solution electro spinning. The effects of spinning parameters and morphology of obtained recycled Poly (...

The present paper describes experimental and numerical work for the evaluation of the selected effective mechanical and transport material properties of polysiloxane matrix based composites. Three different material systems including carbon, basalt and glass plain weave textile reinforcements are first studied experimentally with emphasis on the in...
