BACKGROUND In 1991, textile researchers at Universities in Eastern Europe introduced a change in the traditional manufacture of ring-spun yarn. Condensation of the roving web prior to entering the spinning triangle produced a less hairy and more compact yarn structure. Surface fibers from the condensed roving provided reduced protruding surface hair and a smaller diameter […]
The accessibility of raw materials and the low cost of the chemical reagents, as well as the satisfactory textile properties and broad possibilities for modification, ensure that viscose fibers are economical to produce and widely used.
BACKGROUND Formaldehyde modified resins were introduced to the apparel market in the 1950’s. These finishes imparted a no-wrinkle character to cotton fabric and promised relief from the tedious job of ironing apparel. Preliminary marketing studies on the concept was an immediate and huge success. Optimism for this new market potential turned out to be premature. […]

Bhagalpur silk known as the ‘queen of the silk’ has superior fine quality giving it a rich and delicate feel, is now available in various vibrant colours and prints. Bhagalpuri silk is one of the most refined forms of silk fabric.
Denim fabrics are after all fabrics made with yarns of varying fibre properties and manufacturing processes. The article explains the process of spun yarn manufacturing in the context of denim fabrics manufacturing.
A dramatic improvement in yarn manufacture was adopted by the industry and went horribly wrong. Negative economic consequences were so great that improvements justifying the adoption of the technology have been ignored.
Cotton is one of the most popular fabrics in the world, but the difference between organically grown cotton and non-organic one is crucial. To make your clothes last longer you must be aware of its peculiarities.
Among many pollution-creating industries, textile has a larger share in terms of its impact with regard to noise, air, and effluent. It is, therefore, felt worthwhile to study the environmental hazards associated with various operations of textiles. In this paper, pollution arising out of noise and air is discussed. Areas of concern and their appropriate rectifying procedures are also taken into account.
Ecological degradation happens in natural fiber right from cultivation to finishing of the ultimate product. Prominent parameters and the possible package of corrective measures are highlighted. Synthetic fiber industry is not an exception to environmental pollution and therefore various pollution-creating activities are pointed out. Management of various textile wastes is also mentioned in this paper.
Fabric air permeability is a measure to what extent it gives air passing through the fabric. The porosity of fabric is the demonstration of the air gap as a percentage within the fabric. It has been important for especially the tent fabric and parachute.
This article explains the application of reduced graphene oxide on cotton woven fabric to achieve breathable waterproof finishing. After finishing the fabric was analysed various morphological properties as well as physical properties to confirm comfortability.
