Color change technology offers unique and challenging opportunities. Thermo-responsive color-changing nanofibers with reversibility have great potential as thermal sensors due to their increased sensitivity and fast response. Herein, polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers were produced by adding a leuco-based thermochromic dye with various concentration...

In this study, biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers were copper (Cu) electroplated in a more environmentally friendly bath compared to conventional electroplating baths. The Cu-plating mechanism and determination of the optimum parameters for the production of Cu-plated PCL nanofiber mats were explained. PCL nanofibers were produced on m...

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of knitting structure and metal wire amount on the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) of knitted fabrics comparatively. Single jersey, single pique, weft locknit, and cross miss fabrics involving stainless steel or copper wires were produced on a flat knitting machine. A free space m...

In this study, conductive and transparent polycaprolactone (PCL)/carbon black (CB) nanofibers are produced by electrospinning. In order to investigate the effect of solvent system on the optoelectrical properties of PCL/CB nanofibers, the fibers are produced from two different solvent systems; namely, chloroform (CHL) and dimetyl formamid (DMF). Fo...

Auxetic materials with a negative Poison's ratio (PR) have the potential to meet the demand for different materials, especially technical textiles. Universal Tensile Test (UTT) devices and various experimental setups developed by researchers have been used in PR measurements. This study aims to investigate the PR of knitted fabrics with UTT and ext...

The aim of this study is to investigate the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) of thin and lightweight knitted fabrics that are suitable for casual wear like t-shirts. For the purpose of having a low production cost, metal/cotton conductive composite yarns are produced by a yarn doubling technique, involving stainless steel wires (35 μm...

In this study, the effects of spandex brand, the tightness factor of the base, and spandex yarn on the dimensional and physical properties of cotton/spandex single jersey fabrics are investigated. In order to examine the effects of the tightness factor of cotton and spandex yarn, fabric samples were knitted by feeding both cotton and spandex yarns...

Fabrics knitted with spandex have many pre-treatment and finishing steps. In this study, the effects of relaxation process on dimensional properties of cotton/spandex single jersey fabrics are experimentally investigated to estimate the dyed fabric properties before finishing process. For this purpose, single jersey fabric samples were knitted on a...
