Swelling Behavior of Stimuli-Sensitive Hydrogels Based on N-Isopropylacrylamide and Sodium Acrylate Copolymer

He Huang, Zhi-Ping Mao, Wei-Dong Yu

Stimuli-sensitive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-sodium acrylate) [poly (NiPAAm-co-SA)] hydrogels are prepared by free radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NiPAAm) and…

Effect of Fiber Orientation on Air Permeability of Fibrous Layers

I.P. Kornoohin, T.A. Kornoohina, S.A. Mironov

The experimental setup for studying fibre orientation effects on air permeability of fibrous layers is described. The orientation parameter is obtained through small-angle…

User-Friendly Permeability Predicting Software for Technical Textiles

B. Verleye, G. Morren, S.V. Lomov, H. Sol, I. Verpoest, D. Roose

For simulating the injection stage of the manufacturing process of composite materials, the permeability of the textile is an important input parameter. The permeability of…

Automatic Classification of Woven Fabrics using Multi-class Support Vector Machine

Yassine Ben Salem, Salem Nasri

This paper proposes the recognition and classification of three mean woven fabrics, twill, satin and plain. The proposed classifier is based on the texture analysis of woven…

Fuzziness Evaluation of Polyester / Viscose Woven Fabrics Using Image Analysis Method

A. Kianiha, M. Ghane, D. Semnani

Fabric fuzziness is a property which affects the appearance, handle, thermal insulation and other fabric features; it also leads to pilling that is a serious problem for the…

Preparation and Characterizations of Fatty Acid / Polyethylene Glycol Condensates and Utilization as Textile Softeners

M.H. Abo-Shosha, F.A. Nassar, Z. El-Sayed, A.G. Hassabo

Optimal conditions for condensation of equimolar ratios of stearic acid (St) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, i.e. 180°C, 8hrs and H₂SO₄, 4g/kg (reactants mixture), were…

Characterization and Evaluation of the Levelness Parameters of Natural Dyes on Natural Fabrics

E.M. Osman, A.A. El-Ebissy, M.N. Michael

The objective of this paper is to establish a quantitative method to determine the levelness (L) of coloration by spectrophotometric measurements. Previously, the L of coloration…

Basic Parameter Study for the Separation of Wool Fibre Components by Ultrasonic Irradiation in Formic Acid

Jie Fan, Wei-dong Yu

The structure of wool fibre is a key point in clarifying its properties and performances. Wool fibre can be separated into cuticle cells, cortical cells and even macrofibrils…
