Mandal, Sumit, and Guowen Song. "Characterizing thermal protective fabrics of firefighters’ clothing in hot surface contact." Journal of Industrial Textiles 47, no. 5 (August 31, 2016): 622–39. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1528083716667258.
Full textAbstract:
This study characterizes the thermal protective fabrics of firefighters’ clothing under the exposure of hot surface contact. For this, thermal protective performance of different fabrics was evaluated using a laboratory-simulated hot surface contact test, and various factors affecting the performance were statistically identified. Additionally, heat transfer mechanisms during testing were analytically and mathematically modeled. It has been found that fabric’s constructional features and properties are the key factors to affect its thermal protective performance. In this study, the presence of a thicker thermal liner in a layered fabric system resulted in higher performance; in contrast, a multi-layered fabric system incorporating a moisture barrier in its outer layer displayed the lowest performance. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that a fabric’s air permeability has a minimal impact on performance, whereas weight, thickness, and thermal resistance have a significant positive impact on performance. Based on the analytical and mathematical models developed, it was apparent that conductive heat transfer mainly occurs through fabric during testing, and this conductive heat transfer depends upon the surface roughness and thermal properties (thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat) of the tested fabric. Here, thermal contact resistance between the hot surface and fabric also plays a crucial role in the heat transfer or thermal protective performance of fabric. Moreover, the heat transfer gradually decreases across fabric thickness, which can substantially affect thermal protective performance. This study can advance the theory of textile/materials science through better understanding of heat transfer in fabrics. This understanding can help in developing an integrated knowledge of fabric properties, heat transfer through fabrics, and thermal protective performance of fabrics. The findings from this study can also assist textile/material engineers with the development of a high performance thermal protective fabric for clothing to provide better occupational safety and health for firefighters.

A series of experiments was performed on studying the dynamic heat and moisture transferring procedure and evaluating heat and moisture comfort properties of different weight cotton fabrics. In experiments, the real time changes of temperature and relative humidity in inner and outer surfaces of different cotton fabrics were measured using self-made textile-microclimate measuring instrument. Then, the temperature and relative humidity in inner surface of fabric, and the difference of temperature and relative humidity between inner and outer surfaces of fabric were analyzed. Finally, in order to evaluate cotton fabric's dynamic heat comfort property and dynamic moisture comfort property comprehensively, two dynamic values were introduced to make evaluation. Results show that as the increase of cotton fabric's weight, fabric will have better thermal insulation performance and worse moisture permeability performance.

In this paper we designed several different embedding ways of making sensing fabric using CCFs compound yarns, observed the relationship of resistance and elongation through fabric tensile test, and analyzed its sensitivity, linearity and resistance change stability of the fabric according to regression model. Research shows that: in terms of conductive fabrics embedded with CCFs compound yarns, the more the number of CCFs compound yarns embedded, the lower its sensitivity is and the better its repeatability and the fabric’s stability with respect to resistance change would be. Among all conductive fabrics embedded in different ways with the same quantity of compound yarns, the samples embedded continuously have the lowest sensitivity, but it has the best resistance change stability and repeatability.

Full textAbstract:
Flexible stab-resistant fabrics have been widely used in military and civilian fields; however, there are few researches about effects of incidence angle on stabbing performance of fabrics. Thereof, the stab-resistant mechanism of fabric is investigated from raw material selection, fabric preparation and quasi-static stab-resistant performance test. We analyzed and obtained the modes of interaction between knife and fabric and the mutual influence between the fabrics through different angles and the compound way at different angles. Results show that with the increasing of the angle of incidence, the cutting forces of fabric decrease and the strength reducing rate of fabric increases. The strength trend of compound fabric at different angles is the same as single layer fabric; however, the strength reducing rate firstly increases then decreases. It may be explained that there exists interaction between the fabrics in the cutting process.

The determination of the suitability of fabrics for specific end-uses require the subjection of selected fabrics to conditions they would be exposed to during use and care such as washing. Three different brands of fabrics commonly used for Ghanaian Basic School Uniforms and labelled A, B and C were evaluated after washing to suggest suitable fabric(s) to be used to achieve quality in uniforms. Specimens were subjected to three washing cycles and strength, elongation, dimensional stability and colourfastness tested. Data were analyzed using the Predictive Analytical Software for windows version 22. Means of the performance characteristics of the fabrics were determined and hypotheses were tested using analysis of variance at 0.05 alpha level. Washing had effect on the parameters investigated. In all, fabric brand B performed best as throughout the wash cycles, its strength values were above the standard requirements set by the Ghana Standards Authority for uniform fabrics. Since the fabric brand B performed best with the parameters investigated, it is suggested for use as school uniform fabric. However, further studies can be conducted on these same fabrics where other parameters such as absorbency and abrasion resistance can be evaluated.

Muslim women is required to wear hijab as a religion obligation which symbolizes women’s faith to the creator (Quran 24:21). Many types of hijab are available in market, with ready-to-wear (RTW) hijab being the most popular choice of hijab in Malaysia. Limited knowledge on fabric characteristics among consumers has created dissatisfaction in many aspects of hijab performance associated to appearance and comfort. This paper presented the study of hijab appearance performances. Ten commercial fabrics (Cotton, Tetron Cotton, silk, rayon, Crepe back satin, Valentino dull satin, chiffon crepe, French voile, and Koshibo) which are commonly used in hijab making, were investigated. Stiffness, drape, wrinkle aspect, pilling, and snagging of fabric, which are associated with hijab appearance, were examined. A fabric ranking index was then developed to further support the analysis. In order to validate the result, a wear test was conducted where the tested fabrics were develop into hijabs and wear assessment was conducted. Feedback from the respondents were obtained and compared with the fabric ranking index. The results of this study concluded that Koshibo, Valentino Dull Satin, Chiffon crepe and French Voile exhibited the highest performance ranking among all the fabric tested. The study provides the reference to hijab manufacturers and end users in selecting the most suitable fabric for hijab in terms of the respective appearance properties.

Microfiber fabrics are more efficiency in retaining fine-particles that increase the variation in in situ degradability. The aim of this was to examine the performance of in situ bags made from different microfiber fabric for meeting the required specification and their ruminal degradability compared with standard Ankom in situ bags. Four fabrics were manufactured using polyester microfiber with 1.04 denier, weft yarn counts (150 and 300), weft density (22 and 28 picks / inch), plain 1/1 textile structure. Physical and mechanical properties of manufactured fabrics were measured before and after incubation. Ruminal degradability was measured for three feedstuffs (soybean meal, wheat bran and berseem hay) using three rumen-fistulated rams as a replicates after 24 and 48 hours. Fabric's pore size was significantly decreased as either yarn weft count or density increased. Yarn weft count had a significant effect on all fabric's properties. Air permeability was significantly decreased as fabric's weft yarn count increased. Sample (1) meet the specific requirements for in situ bags and showed the nearest degradability values to those observed using Ankom bags for all feedstuffs in most incubation times. Microfiberin situ bags could be used in in situ ruminal degradation trials to reduce the variation in results due to the present of the fine particles.

Because of the performance and cost, airbags are mainly made of coated or uncoated Nylon 66 fabrics. Different airbags, which use different fabrics, vary in the inflation and expansion of the airbag and the protecting function on vehicle occupants. Based on HIC drawn from pendulum impact tests conducted with 45L airbags, the paper analyses influence of some special critical characteristics of airbag fabrics into the performance of airbags. The results show that the weight and the air permeability are the main factors that influence protecting function of airbag. Under the condition of enough fabric strength, light and thin fabric is more preferable in making airbags.

The investigation of thermal protective performance of fabrics is highly relevant in order to procure and further develop the firefighters' protective clothing. Therefore, this paper aims at investigating the thermal protective performance of fabrics used in firefighters' clothing under different levels of radiant-heat exposures. For this, properties of a set of thermal protective single- and multi-layered fabrics were measured, and these fabrics were tested under radiant-heat exposures using the Method B of ISO 6942:2002 standard. During the testing, fabrics were exposed to low (10 kW/m2), medium (40 kW/m2), and high (80 kW/m2) intensity radiant-heat exposures; and the heat transfer level (i.e., time required to increase the skin temperature of a wearer/firefighter by certain degrees) through these fabrics were calculated to measure their thermal protective performance. The effects of fabric parameters, structures, properties, and radiant-heat intensities on the protective performance were characterized, and fabric properties that significantly affected the protective performance were statistically identified at different level of radiant-heat exposures. It has been found that weight, thickness, thermal resistance, and evaporative resistance can positively affect the protective performance. Also, the significant fabric properties affecting the protective performance vary for single- and multi-layered fabrics. By using these significant properties, the protective performance of single- and multi-layered fabrics were also separately predicted by mathematical models, i.e., multiple linear regression models and multiple logarithmic regression models. As per the findings of this study, multiple linear regression models can effectively be used to predict the thermal protective performance of fabrics. This study will lead towards building a better understanding and prediction of thermal protective performance of fabrics under radiant-heat exposures.

Nowadays people’s requirement about garment comfort is improved. Pressure comfort has been an important part of garment comfort. The structure and performance of knitting fabrics are changed after they are made into clothes with different pressure. The measurement of garment pressure is difficult, but the measurement of fabric performance is easier. So the relationship between fabric performance and pressure comfort is studied in this paper. 8 kinds of knitting fabrics are selected to measure mechanical performance of fabric, such as flexible performance, cut performance, bend performance, compress performance and interface performance. Fabric pressure simulation apparatus is used to simulate fabric pressure variation on elbow and knee. And the pressure is measured and recorded during the deformation of fabric. Same eight kinds of knitting fabrics are used to make basic-style knitwear. The pressure is measured by mannequin pressure testing system

Electrically conductive fabrics were prepared with interlacing polyester yarns and wrapped yarn of polyester/NiCr filament. The wrapped yarns are lined in different distance along filling direction, and the effect of distance on electrically conductivity of fabrics with plain weave is analyzed. In addition, wearing properties including fabric thickness and air permeability of such fabrics are also tested. The results show that surface charge density decrease with number increase of wrapped yarns in filling direction. When wrapped yarns are arranged at 3 yarns/ 6 cm for twill weave, the fabric density and air permeability increase with fabric density.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents an experimental study on the vibration isolation performance of weft-knitted spacer fabrics under forced harmonic excitation. The weft-knitted spacer fabrics with two different thicknesses were first designed by varying the linking distance of the spacer monofilament and fabricated using an electronic flat knitting machine. Then, their vibration isolation performance was tested under forced vibration condition via sinusoidal sweeps from low to high frequencies. The typical acceleration transmissibility curve and effects of fabric thickness, load mass and excitation level were discussed in detail. The results obtained show that the thicker spacer fabric has a lower resonance frequency than the thinner fabric due to lower stiffness, and thus can isolate the vibration at a lower frequency level. The results also show that changing the load mass and excitation level changes the loading conditions of the fabric structure, and thus also changes fabric stiffness and vibration isolation performance due to nonlinear behavior of spacer fabrics. It is expected that this study could provide some useful information to promote the application of weft-knitted spacer fabrics for vibration isolation.

Full textAbstract:
Boundary condition is an important factor for the impact behavior of fabrics. In the present work, the effect of boundary condition on the impact behavior of fabrics was investigated modeling the impact conditions in a finite element software program. In the numerical simulations, fabric boundary condition and impact velocity were used as variable parameters and their effects were discussed in terms of fabric deformation and energy absorption capacity. Based on the study, the significance of boundary condition gradually diminishes as impact velocity increases. However, at low velocities, fabrics with free edges provide enhanced energy absorption performance in comparison to those with fixed edges. In addition, fabric deformation turns to local scale increasing impact velocity however, at low velocities, deformation is extended over a wider area on the fabrics.

To minimize the serious defects of durable press finishing of cellulosic textiles with respect to the great loss in strength properties, new pioneering strengthening approach of cotton fabric based on our previously prepared starch nanoparticles of size around 80–100 nm was used. For this purpose, cotton fabrics were treated with different concentrations of starch nanoparticles via coating technique using pad-dry-cure method, at which the starch nanoparticles are attached to the fabrics with the use of a padder adjusted to appropriate pressure and speed, followed by drying and curing. Fabric stiffness, surface roughness, tensile strength, elongation at break, abrasion resistance, wrinkle recovery angles, add-on %, and degree of whiteness as well as durability of treated fabrics were fully explored. SEM was used for detecting the change in surface morphology of reinforced coated fabric. The results obtained reflect the following findings: (a) all fabric performance like tensile strength, stiffness, wrinkle recovery angle, abrasion resistance and add on % were improved for coated fabrics with starch nanoparticles in comparison with untreated fabric, except that of surface roughness; (b) SEM confirmed the change in surface morphology of cotton fabric after reinforcement treatment using starch nanoparticles; (c) the dry wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength of cotton fabrics treated in presence of 30 g/l starch nanoparticles are slightly decreased after 10 washing cycles as compared with untreated fabric; and (d) starch nanoparticles introduce an advance in textile finishing with respect to the above-mention fabric performance except that of surface roughness.

In this study, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) fibers were produced by melt spinning method and woven to form fabrics. Several characterization tests were conducted with fiber tensile testing machine, scanning electron microscope, and differential scanning calorimeter to investigate the basic properties of PEEK fibers. Electric fabric strength, thermal performance, and corrosion resistance of PEEK fabric were also investigated. The commercial samples of NomexIIIA (imported) and Aramid1313 fabrics (made in China) were selected as control groups to evaluate the performance of developed fabrics. The results indicate that the PEEK fabrics have higher breaking strength, better corrosion resistance, and greater thermal stability than the other two commercial fabrics in the control group. The total friction of the PEEK fabric reached 30,000 times when two separate yarns in fabric were broken completely, and the breaking strength was in the range of 830–1422 N. The surface of PEEK fibers remained smooth, and there was no deformation after handling by 30% sodium hydroxide and 36% hydrochloric acid for 48 h; additionally, there was no weight loss. The melting point of PEEK fabric was 342.89°C, and it lost 5% of its weight at 574°C. The research shows that as a novel high-performance textile, PEEK fabrics with a long service temperature of 260°C have significant advantages in the improvement of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of textiles, especially enhancing the stability under high-concentration alkaline environment. This work can provide novel avenues for the development of high-performance fibers and products with applications in special harsh environments.

Fabric non-iron pleat plasticity is a shaping element of garment. In order to better grasp the performance, its quantitative evaluation method was designed in the paper. It was believed that fabric non-iron pleat plasticity was actually the crease retention of fabric, therefore, crease retention ratio was used for characterizing the fabric non-iron pleat plasticity. The results showed that, all of "PTT shape memory fabrics", PET imitation memory fabrics and cotton fabrics had higher crease retention ratios; followed by Nylon fabrics, next was silk fabrics; wool fabrics had the smallest crease retention ratios. The results proved that crease retention ratios of different kinds of fabrics differ substantially, and the index could basically reflect the non-iron pleat plasticity of different kinds of fabrics.

This article presents the findings of experimental and finite element simulation warp direction uniaxial tensile testing of plain 1/1, 2/2 twill and 8 ends satin woven fabrics with respect to a woven fabric model developed in IGES using UniverFilter. Woven fabrics have been specifically configured as a balanced weave thereby allowing systematic investigation of the effect of uniaxial tensile stress on the weave. Static automatic incrementation of large representative volume elements has enabled characterisation of the response of two-dimensional woven fabrics under uniaxial tensile stress with respect to hyperelastic and elastic-plastic material properties. Plain 1/1 and 8 ends satin woven fabrics were well-described by the hyperelastic model and the elastic-plastic model predicted extended strain percentages. The modelling indicates that satin woven fabric possesses the lowest strain distribution and compression stress in the unloaded weft direction compared to plain and twill woven fabrics.

At present, much attention is focused on developing clothing fabrics with advanced functionality without compromising their visual, mechanical, or comfort properties. A fabric’s ability to prevent the penetration of electromagnetic radiation is an interesting added feature. In the published literature, there are many references describing the development and investigation of electromagnetic shielding textile structures using different electrically conductive additives. However, little attention has been given to the aesthetic and comfort properties of these special fabrics. Moreover, the availability of everyday fashion containing electromagnetic radiation protection is very limited. For this study, woven fabric made from a mixture of traditional fibers and extremely thin discrete stainless steel fibers developed in the authors’ previous research was used as a substrate. The fabric was digitally printed to provide an interesting design effect suitable for use in clothing and for making clothes for everyday wear. The main objective of this work is to determine whether digital printing is a suitable tool for changing the color and pattern of this metal fiber-containing fabric. The individual goals are (a) to examine the fabric’s color fastness to washing and (b) to investigate whether the surface modification of the fabric adversely affects its functionality. Results show that it is possible to change the color and pattern of metal fiber-containing fabric by digital printing easily, whereas the associated decrease of porosity causes an increase of this special fabric functionality. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the fabric after printing is around 33 dB for frequency 1.5 GHz. However, washing has a negative effect, causing both the electromagnetic shielding ability decrease (to 27 dB for frequency 1.5 GHz after 20 washing and drying cycles) and color fading (the color fastness grade is around 1–2 after 20 washing and drying cycles). Furthermore, the basic transport properties of printed electrically conductive fabric are compared with those of fabric made from traditional material and positive results are found. The incidence of pilling after washing is also evaluated, whereas the first pills are observed after the eighth washing and drying cycle. Finally, clothing prototypes that could be prepared from printed fabric are presented.

Full textAbstract:
The beneficial effect of STF impregnation in enhancing the impact resistance of high-performance fabrics has been extensively reported in the literature. However, this research work reports that fabric structure has a decisive role in moderating the effectiveness of STF impregnation in terms of impact energy absorption. Plain woven fabrics having sett varying from 25 × 25 inch−1 to 55 × 55 inch−1 were impregnated with STF at two different padding pressures to obtain different add-ons. The impact energy absorption by STF impregnated loosely woven fabrics was found to be higher than that of their neat counterparts for both levels of add-on, while opposite trend was observed in case of tightly woven fabrics. Further, comparison of tightly woven plain, 2/2 twill, 3/1 twill and 2 × 2 matt fabrics revealed beneficial effect of STF impregnation, except for the plain woven fabric, establishing that there exists a fabric structure-STF impregnation interplay that tunes the impact resistance of woven fabrics.

This article presents an investigation regarding the ballistic performance of hybrid panels formed by combining woven and unidirectional (UD) para-aramid fabrics. For this purpose, hybrid panels are formed by combining woven and UD para-aramid fabrics with different ply ratios. The hybrid panels formed in this way are subjected to ballistic tests according to National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard. The results show that hybrid panels present 4.48% less trauma depth as compared to 100% woven fabric panels and 3% less trauma diameter as compared to 100% UD fabric panels. Furthermore, 13.9% less energy is transmitted to the back side of hybrid panels as compared to 100% UD fabric panels. The energy absorbed per unit weight in hybrid panels is 8.48% more as compared to 100% woven fabrics. Additionally, in wet conditions, less trauma depth of hybrid panels is observed as compared to both 100% woven and 100% K-Flex UD fabric panels. No significant difference is realized in trauma diameter between hybrid panels and 100% woven fabric panels in wet conditions. However, 3.25% less trauma diameter is noticed in hybrid panels as compared to 100% UD fabric panels.

Thin summer fabrics without anti-UV finishing were used as experimental samples and the influences of fabric thickness, tightness, structure and fiber on the anti-UV properties were observed carefully. The measured performance parameters were normalized, to make UV protection properties of different thickness, tightness, fabric structures and fiber materials are comparable. This investigation revealed that the dominant factors affecting fabric anti-ultraviolet property were fabric structure, thickness and fiber type. The anti-UV performance from strong to weak is satin, twill and plain weave in terms of fabric structure; and polyester, silk, hemp and cotton in terms of fiber material. In addition, the anti-UV performances of fabrics positively increase with their thickness, when the other parameters were kept the same.

Warp-knitted spacer fabrics for cushion products are in contact with different parts of human body. Surface shapes of most contacting parts can be simplified as spherical caps, while there are few reports on relationship between sphere diameter and compression property of spacer fabric. Therefore, the main content dealt with in the paper was to conduct spherical compression and simulation analysis of warp-knitted spacer fabrics. Five spherical indenters were selected and three compression indices were featured. Comparisons of compression indices results of spacer fabrics amongst five spherical indenters exhibited good relations. Moreover, spherical compression behavior was simulated by finite element method to better understand the mechanism of spherical compression deformation of warp-knitted spacer fabrics. The results that relative errors of the compression indices were all small showed a good accordance between theoretical and experimental results; then, stress distribution and displacement evolutions were analyzed to discover deformation mechanism of spacer filaments compressed. It is effective to simulate the spherical compression performance between different parts of human body and spacer fabric.

Fabrics made from friction spun fillings (friction fabrics) had a hand that was judged to be equivalent to fabrics made from ring spun fillings of the same count (ring fabrics). Fabrics with rotor spun fillings (rotor fabrics) had a hand that was harsher than either of the others. The friction spun fillings only had a tenacity of about 57% of ring yarns. Plain weave friction fabrics had a tenacity in the filling direction of about 70% of ring fabrics and 66% for twill weave fabrics. The tear strength was 63% of the ring fabric. Warps were common in each set, but the substitution of one filling by another type altered the fabric performance in the warp direction even though the filling yarn count was unchanged. The topography of the fabric surface was changed by the substitution. Harmonic analysis of surface roughness data showed the effects to be considerable. Fabric bending stiffnesses changed by altering the fabric and yarn structures, but the two methods of measurement did not give identical assessments of these differences. Fabric shear and hysteresis losses suggest that friction fabric might tend to “bag.”

Fabric deformation performance is an index that characterizes the dynamic performance of the fabric. However there is no separate study about fabric deformation performance. According to morphological wave data measured by fabric deformation testing device made by ourselves, we have determined to cluster analysis fabric deformation performance with the following six indicators, that is, the wavelength of the first half-wave, amplitude, half-wave area, shape coefficients, amplitude attenuation coefficient, and the number of half-wave, and also have done comparative analysis of deformation characteristics of four types of fabric. The results showed that the six indicators can measure the different kinds of fabric’s deformation characters much better, and showed that the weight of per square meter of fabrics and bending rigidity have influenced significantly. The research results have a realistic meaning for fabric processing technology and the rational use

Full textAbstract:
Electrically conductive fabrics are achieved by functionalizing with treatments such as graphene; however, these change conventional fabric properties and the treatments are typically not durable. Encapsulation may provide a solution for this, and the present work aims to address these challenges. Next-to-skin wool and cotton knit fabrics functionalized using graphene ink were encapsulated with three poly(dimethylsiloxane)-based products. Properties known to be critical in a next-to-skin application were investigated (fabric structure, moisture transfer, electrical conductivity, exposure to transient ambient conditions, wash, abrasion, and storage). Wool and cotton fabrics performed similarly. Electrical conductivity was conferred with the graphene treatment but decreased with encapsulation. Wetting and high humidity/low temperature resulted in an increase in electrical conductivity, while decreases in electrical conductivity were evident with wash, abrasion, and storage. Each encapsulant mitigated effects of exposures but these effects differed slightly. Moisture transfer changed with graphene and encapsulants. As key performance properties of the wool and cotton fabrics following treatment with graphene and an encapsulant differed from their initial state, use as a patch integrated as part of an upper body apparel item would be acceptable.

Silicone softeners make fabric soft, brilliant, greasy and more elastic, resulting is acceptable handle. In this research work, the effect of using different silicone softeners on pilling resistance and on some physical and mechanical properties of knitted fabrics was evaluated. Industrially applied silicone softeners of three different types (macro, semi-micro, micro) were used on fabrics knitted from different fiber materials (Egyptian cotton, Tencel LF, Tencel STD, bamboo, Modal and Micro-modal). The influence of using different silicone softeners on fabric pilling resistance, seam hole, air permeability, color strength, fastness to rubbing in wet and dry states and fastness to washing was investigated. Results have shown that the pilling performance of micro-modal fabrics finished with micro silicone is better than those finished with macro silicone. The higher number of fibers per cross-section for the micro modal yarns creates weak bonds between micromodal fibers and macro silicone particles. The macro silicone fabric has the greatest air permeability, while the micro silicone reduces the porosity of the yarn and increases air resistance. The macro silicone softener method has more fastness to color than the other finishing methods investigated.

Many countries enacted flame retardant legislation for apparel such as evening dress, and pajamas. But durable and formaldehyde free flame retardant finishing for silk is necessary and challenging. In this paper, three kinds of silk fabrics with different weaving styles for apparel uses were treated with a vinyl phosphorus monomer dimethyl-2-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphate (DMMEP) by a graft copolymerization technique using potassium persulfate as an initiator. The treated silk fabrics can be self-extinguished after being ignited with a candle like fire, can pass the vertical flammability test, and. show some decrease in permeability. Fabric bending, shear, compression, and drape were tested so that possible problems in garment manufacturing could be predicted, because these properties not only affect the appearance of silk products but also influence the garment making process. The sewing properties of the treated silk fabrics are also discussed.

Current firefighter protective clothing is composed of multilayer fabric systems. The outer shell fabrics inevitably become wet in the process of firefighters performing their duties, and sweat may also increase moisture in the inner layers of protective clothing. In this study, two kinds of outer shell fabrics (aramid IIIA fabric and aramid 1313 and flame-retardant viscose-blended fabric) and two kinds of thermal liner fabrics with different thicknesses were selected. Three wetness conditions were simulated for the outer shell fabric, thermal liner fabric and both fabrics together. A modified thermal protective performance (TPP) tester was applied to assess TPP provided by these wetted fabrics; in addition, second-degree skin burn time was predicted and absorbed energy indexes were calculated. The regression method was employed to create fitting curves for absorbed energy and second-degree burn time in different configurations and the Pearson correlation was established to analyze their relationship, in which the lowest R2 value could reach 0.9122 and p-values were all much less than 0.05. Performance results for both wet conditions indicated that outer shell moisture and a thicker thermal liner have a positive and increased negative effect, respectively, on fabric TPP. When the sample S-3-D (aramid 1313 and flame-retardant viscose-blended fabric, moisture barrier and the thin thermal liner) was both wetted in the outer shell and thermal liner, its second-degree burn time was improved by 12.8% over performance in dry conditions. These findings may have important applications for the design and manufacture of optimal protective performance clothing systems.

Moisture handling property of fabric has been regarded as a major factor in the comfort performance of clothing in normal use. Especially in different environmental temperature conditions, fabric’s moisture comfort property has different manifestation. In this paper, a series of experiments and analyses were performed on studying the dynamic moisture transferring procedure and evaluating moisture comfort property of fabric under different environmental temperature conditions. By Textile-Microclimate Measuring Instrument, five different fiber fabrics’ dynamic experiments were performed in different environmental temperature conditions. By measuring the real time changes of relative humidity in inner and outer surfaces of test fabrics, fabrics’ dynamic comprehensive index was obtained to characterize fabrics’ dynamic moisture comfort property under different temperature conditions. Finally, grey system theory was introduced to establish models that could describe the relationship between the static parameters and the dynamic comprehensive index. The grey interrelationship analysis was performed firstly to find out the static parameters that have high degree of association with dynamic comprehensive index. And then the grey mathematics modeling method was performed to establish models predicting the dynamic comprehensive index using static parameters. In three different temperature conditions, three different prediction models were built and high predictive precision was obtained.

To achieve the goal, two sets of trials, which had different jet pressures, process speeds, basis weights and number of passes, were executed to reveal the significance of these parameters in achieving high fabric tensile strength. Image analysis was used to determine the fiber orientation of the hydroentangled nonwoven fabrics to aid in understanding fabric performance behavior.

This study was designed to explore the relationship between sunlight exposure and the mechanical properties of paragliding fabrics which have different colors, densities, yarn counts, and coating materials. This study exposed 5 different colors of paragliding fabrics (red, turquoise, dark blue, orange, and white) to intense sunlight for 150 hours during the summer from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for 5 days a week for 5 weeks. Before and after the UV radiation aging process, the air permeability, tensile strength, tear strength, and bursting strength tests were performed. Test results were also evaluated using statistical methods. According to the results, the fading of the turquoise fabric was found to be the highest among the studied fabrics. It was determined that there is a significant decrease in the mechanical properties of the fabrics after sunlight exposure. After aging, the fabrics become considerably weaker in the case of mechanical properties due to the degradation in both the dyestuff and macromolecular structure of the fiber

In recent years the researches on liquid moisture transport properties of fabrics have great importance. Especially forthe sport garments, fabric structure should led liquid moisture to transfer from skin surface to the outer layers. Specialfibers and fabric structures were designed including channelled fibers and micro fiber productions to contribute highercapillary transport capability to the textile surface. Polyester fibers are used for this purpose frequently. Due to theincrease in the demand of sustainable textiles, production and consumption of recycled polyester fibers are increasingrecently. They are expected to have adequate mechanical properties to fulfil requirements. In this study, liquid moisturetransfer properties of the polyester and r-PET fabrics were investigated. For this purpose, knitted fabrics produced from100% polyester and 100% r-PET yarns were used. Dynamic liquid transport properties, capillary transfer property, dryingrate and water absorption capacity of these surfaces were measured. According to the results, it was concluded thatboth fabrics were identified as “good” by using “Moisture Management Tester”, in case of liquid moisture transferproperties. No significant difference was determined between water vapour permeability values. Static immersion test ishelpful in order to determine wettability for the identification of sensitive differences and as a conventional method,vertical wicking test is a good indicator while distinguishing capillarity differences. It was found that r-PET fabric hasbetter results than PES fabric, in case of absorption rate, wettability, drying rate and capillarity.
