Triethanolamine-based esterquat softener was synthesized by two different methods, microwave irradiation and conventional thermal methods. FT-IR spectra and critical micelle concentration were employed to investigate chemical and physical properties of the synthesized softeners. Softening power, wettability, bending rigidity, yellowness, and anti-w...

The necessity of camouflage in the visible region has been expanded to a broad region of the electromagnetic waves, especially infrared region, due to improving of the night vision cameras. In this investigation, the production of the poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) filament yarns with appropriate camouflage properties in both visible and infrar...

Current methods of mechanical property evaluation of fabrics such as the KESF and FAST systems employ several testing devices for measuring tensile, shearing and bending characteristics separately. In this research a new facile and efficient extraction method for simultaneous estimation of different mechanical properties using a funnel-shape nozzle...

In this study, cotton/nylon blended fabrics were treated with atmospheric air plasma at various times (30–60 s) and were subsequently printed with pastes containing carbon black nanoparticles. Properties of plasma treated fabrics such as visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) reflectance, water contact angle, air permeability, and color fastness were meas...

Formability which is also known as drapability is defined as the ability of a planar textile structure to be directly deformed to fit a three-dimensional surface without the formation of wrinkling, kinks or tears. According to human’s desire for comfortable and high quality clothing, formability has a specific place in the textile industry so many...

To match the reflectance profile of desert colors including brown, olive green, and khaki in the Vis/near IR (NIR) bands, several pigments were used to print cotton/nylon fabrics. The reflectances of printed fabrics were measured by using spectrophotometric technique. TiO2 microparticle and nanoparticle powders were also added to the printing paste...

Interfacial void-free mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) of polyimide (PI)/zeolite were developed using 13X and Linde type A nano-zeolites and tested for gas separation purposes. Fabrication of a void-free polymer-zeolite interface was verified by the decreasing permeability developed by the MMMs for the examined gases, in comparison to the pure PI memb...

Tuning the level of visible and near infrared (NIR) reflectance of textile surfaces is crucial for making them undetected in each environment. In this regard, samples of cotton/nylon fabrics were printed using a mixture of some special pigments and carbon black (CB) nanoparticles to produce brown, olive green and khaki shades which are present in c...

Nanoparticles are used in a variety of applications and their usage is growing vastly because of their superior characteristics, such as high specific area of contact, great mechanical properties, high electrical conductivity, andhigh optical scattering efficiency. Among these numerous properties, optical properties play an important role in either...

Inkjet deposition technology was used in the present research to fabricate different electronic components including resistors/conductors, capacitors, and inductors. Inkjet deposition procedures were performed on hydrophilic substrates such as paper, coated PET film, and textile fabrics using a thermal office inkjet printer. Various levels of condu...

This experimental work examines the influence of the yarn twist on the formability of a woven fabric. Consideration is given to the phenomenon of bedding between warp and weft yarns, as affected by the local helix angles of bent yarns. A total of 28 plain weave woven fabrics (four groups, each with seven samples) were produced, using Solospun™ yarn...

All-printed electronics as a means of achieving ultra-low-cost electronic circuits has attracted great interest in recent years. Inkjet printing is one of the most promising techniques by which the circuit components can be ultimately drawn (i.e. printed) onto the substrate in one step. Here, the inkjet printing technique was used to chemically dep...

Eco-efficiency analysis was used to compare eco-effectiveness of PVC plastisol with two commercially accepted coating agents; polyacrylate (PAA) and polyurethane (PUR) both in dispersed form in water. Eco-efficiency portfolio was graphically illustrated for different scenarios of coating textile fabrics using high and low quality PVC plastisols. PV...

Nanosized metallic particles dispersed in a polymeric matrix have been used conventionally as a paste or ink to print electrically active patterns on different substrates. The potential of ink-jet printing in this field is clearly important but the challenge to date has been how to achieve prints of low volume resistivity from the very low viscosit...

Eco-efficiency is critical for organisations that seek to be both environmentally conscious and profitable. It helps to "produce more out of less" to avoid wasting natural resources and to reduce emissions and damage to the environment. The textile coating and laminating industry, utilising solvent or water-based polymeric mixtures, is one of the i...

Clothing keeps people warm, dry, and protected from the elements and the environment, and to a certain extent, from each other. Manufacturers continuously strive to develop new kinds of materials and fabrics, yielding improvements in terms of texture, breathability, permeability, waterproofness, and UV protection. Additionally some fabrics offer th...
