Recently, using conductive metal fibers in the woven structure also affects the mechanical properties of the fabric. To overcome these challenges, plasma treatment needs to be quite an effective method. In this study, polyester/cotton (P/C), 65/35%, blend fabric was treated in a vacuum-plasma-chamber using air, argon and oxygen. The electro-physical property of the samples were evaluated by measuring the surface and volume resistivities (ρs, ρv) using textile electrode Tera Ohmmeter (TO-3). Textile Softness Analyzer (TSA) has also been used to investigate hand-feel properties of the fabric. After treatment, the results revealed that the surface resistivity was reduced by 35.5% in the case of O2, 27.3% for air and 18.4% for Ar, and also volume resistivity was decreased by 40.9%, 20.3% and 20% after O2, air and Ar-plasma, respectively, whereas hand-feel properties are slightly affected at a higher power level and treatment time.

  • SILVADUR™ Application Guidelines
    Nutrition & Biosciences SILVADUR™ FLEX Application Guidelines Pad it. Exhaust it. SILVADUR™ Antimicrobial Means Easy Application. First Time. Every Time. May 07, 2020 SILVADUR™ Antimicrobial is a liquid formulation that can be easily applied to any natural or synthetic fiber using most industry standard equipment for pad or exhaust methods. Simply defined, the pad process involves passing a fabric through a bath containing an antimicrobial product and water. The fabric is then dried to remove any excess water, leaving the antimicrobial product on the fabric. The exhaust method, on the other hand, is a batch process where fabric, garment, or yarn either in a static or dynamic set up is soaked in a circulated or non-circulated bath containing the antimicrobial product and water, and the antimicrobial product is transferred to the textile. Any excess water in the fabric is then removed and the fabric is dried, leaving the antimicrobial product on the fabric. SILVADUR™ antimicrobial efficacy and wash durability performance when applied on a variety of textiles using either pad or exhaust methods has been extensively validated globally using internationally accepted standard methods. etc. SILVADUR™ Application Level SILVADUR™ products can be applied using most industry standard conditions. If co-application of SILVADUR and auxiliary finishing chemicals is required, compatibility of the application solution should be determined in the laboratory prior to production-scale trials. It is highly recommended that SILVADUR™ be applied prior to any sacrificial, non-durable treatments during chemical finishing (e.g., before repellents, moisture wicking additives, softeners, etc.). Complete rinsing and neutralization of fabric prior to the addition of SILVADUR™ product is required in order to achieve the highest durability of the final silver-polymer system.

Ibrahim* Faculty of Applied Arts, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt Textile industries are facing a challenging condition in the field of quality and productivity, due to the globalization of the world market. The highly competitive atmosphere and as the ecological parameters becoming more stringent, it becomes the prime concern of the textile processor to be conscious about quality and ecology. Again the guidelines for the textile processing industries by the pollution control boards create concern over the environment-friendliness of the processes, making it essential for innovations and changes in the processes [1]. Textile wet processing, is consider as a big and important sector in textile industry, with a wide range of procedures, which affect the final product appearance and quality. Wet processing occurs at various stages in the creation of textiles, as shown in Figure 1. This is the most widely used wet processing flow-chart on the Figure 2 contemporary textile industry. As textile industry is searching for innovative production techniques to improve the product quality, liquids and gaseous media. With reference to the properties of human as well as society requires new finishing techniques working in ear, high frequency inaudible oscillations are ultrasonic or supersonic. environmental respect [2]. In other words, while the normal range of human hearing is in between 16 Hz and 16 kHz, ultrasonic frequencies lie between 20 kHz and 500 Through this review article, we focus on the most innovated trends MHz.

Of Costume Design and Fashion Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Coimbatore (India) 2. Assistant Professor, Dept. Of Costume Design and Fashion Sri Krishna Arts and Science College, Coimbatore (India) Corresponding Author: Ms.N.Gayathri Abstract: The Indian textile industry is as diverse as the country is and as complex an entity. There is an organised, decentralised sector and down the line, there are weavers, artisans as well as the farmers. Emerging technologies will always be the best available technologies keeping energy saving in mind as policy makers and regulators are addressing environmental issues in industries with the application of abatement strategy. This will improve the environmental performance of the industries and also limits pollutant discharges and helps the environment. Textile producers can sustain their competitiveness in a liberalised and competition-driven market only when they are able to develop new markets and enhance productivity by raising their real end product and investing in emerging technology. Added value can be obtained only by shifting away from labour-intensive mass products and concentrating on new, high-quality specialised products.

In the primary stage garment does not inherit customer’s desired properties but after washing it become most widely used due to its new appearance, softness, comfort, strength and low cost, which create customer’s absolute satisfaction. Garment washing process is provided with a lucrative and glassy outlook by chemical or wet washing process and mechanical or dry washing process. The most widely used dry washing processes for garment are scraping, spraying, whiskering, damages, spots, rubbing and tacking contrariwise wet washing processes for garment to develop new a look and effect are normal wash or rinse wash, pigment wash, caustic wash, silicon wash, enzyme wash, stone wash, stone enzyme wash, bleach wash and acid wash. This study gives an indication different types washing process and the change of physical and chemical properties due to application of wet and dry washing processes as an imparting desired effect on garments.

It has enabled us to stay in touch and to move forward, undoubtfully providing lots of useful tools. But we have also seen that – especially when facing the constraints of the pandemic - our desire for physical experiences is constantly growing. Taking care of our body, protecting our health, or staying fit by going outdoors and doing active sports as well as doing workouts at home, has gained new meaning - in the end, 2020 has underlined the physicality of human life, which cannot be replaced digitally. Our clothing reflects this desire. We want to wear clothes that are functional and connect with our physicality. We want to experience them with our senses – touch, sight and hearing. When we perceive fabrics and clothing with these senses, it stimulates emotions. Through it, we ultimately feel alive. © Alexa Dehmel active-sport-design
