A comparative subjective evaluation was done based on fabric quality by the panel 925 - 930 of 100 respondents. 100 per cent respondent opined that all the woven samples have good appearance, soft in hand and smooth in texture. It was observed that cent percent of respondents found errandi-acrylic blended union fabrics with twill and herringbone weaves were high in lustre. The costs of blended yarns and the cost of union fabrics of different proportion were got reduced in comparison to that of 100 per cent errandi-silk yarn (Rs.3000.00/kg) and controlled errandi silk fabrics (Rs.985.00/mt.). Based on the aesthetic properties such as handle, appearance, texture and lustre and considering the cost of twill and herringbone errandi-acrylic fabrics were suitable for production of fash- ionable wear. Thus¸ the newly designed Errandi silk with Acrylic union fabrics are unique, a new venture for the textile industry and Ericulturists.

  • Appendix 1 Sources
    APPENDIX 1 SOURCES UMIST: DEPARTMENT OF TEXTILES Most of the work described in this book comes from research in the Department of Textiles, UMIST, under the direction of Professor John Hearle. It started with the purchase of a scanning electron microscope with a grant from the Science Research Council in 1967, together with five-year funding for an experimental officer and a technician. Since 1972, the staff have been supported by general UMIST funds; a second grant from SERC enabled a replacement SEM to be bought in 1979; industrial sponsors, listed below, have contributed through membership of the Fibre Fracture Research Group; special research grants have been made by the Ministry of Defence (SCRDE, Colchester, and RAE, Farnborough) and jointly by the Wool Research Organization of New Zealand (WRONZ) and the Wool Foundation (IWS); and other research programmes and contract services have contributed indirectly to our knowledge. Pat Cross was the first SEM experimental officer and she was followed in 1969 by Brenda Lomas, who retired in 1990. Trevor Jones then took on responsibility for microscopy in the Department of Textiles in addition to photography. Over the years, many staff and students have contributed to the research. Their names are given below. Some have worked wholly on fibre fracture problems. Others have used fracture studies as an incidental element in their work.

PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CUT RESISTANT ACRYLIC/COPOLYARAMID FIBERS VIA BICOMPONENT WET SPINNING A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Polymer and Fiber Science by Stephen James Hipp December 2015 Accepted by: Dr. Philip Brown, Committee Chair Dr. Gary Lickfield Dr. Olin Mefford Dr. Julia Sharp Abstract A composite fiber system consisting of a sheath core bicomponent polymer fiber loaded with hard ceramic particles was developed and characterized for use in cut protective clothing. The core component was comprised of a copolyaramid in order to provide high base cut resistance. An acrylic-copolyaramid polymer blend was used for the sheath component to improve processability and provide potential benefits such as dyeability. Lastly, aluminum oxide particles were incorporated into the fiber core to deflect and deform the cutting edge, further improving cut resistance. A series of designed experiments was used to explore the effects of the wet spinning and heat treatment processes on the structure and properties of the bicomponent fiber.

The second most common are twill weaves. In this article twill weaves E-mail: [email protected] are discussed wider by presenting their classification and plans of weave. Moreover, the prevalence of weaves were researched chronologically. The results show the predomination of plain and twill weaves in skirts of the XIX century, and various derived, combined weaves became more popular from the middle of the XIX century. These weaves started to be used gradually for geometrical patterns and fabric decoration. Comparison of the weaving tradition of skirts with respect to territory shows some similarities between the pattern and weave of Lithuanian fabric and those of neighboring countries.

  • WOOL TEXTILE TERMS Handout for the WRSW Wool Panel Discussion
    WOOL TEXTILE TERMS Handout for the WRSW Wool Panel Discussion Over the years, the wool industry has attempted to standardize wool textile terminology. The following is list of such terms listed in “Twills, Tweeds and All-Wool Fabrics” by Harriet C. Douglas. Public Domain on arizona.edu. Broken Twill – are twills in which one or more shafts are omitted in the threading, but the weaving is regular. Dornik is an example. Cheviot Tweeds – originally from the Cheviot Hills of Scotland. Made from the rough, coarse wool of the Cheviot wool in plain weave or in 2/2 twill, with warp and weft of the same color. Often pieced dyed rather than skein dyed. Combined Twills – are Fancy twills woven in small patterns with broken diagonals and irregular warp and weft skips. Corkscrew Twills – are warp and weft rib twills produced on an uneven number of shafts, by weaving semi-opposites. One of the few twills which is not a balanced weave. Curved Twills – are Fancy twills in which the twill lines have a waved or curved nature. District Checks – is the general name applied to the Scotch Tweed checks developed during the rein of Queen Victoria for hunting and sport wear. They are characterized by a certain boldness of small figures, but “protective coloration”. They include such checks as the Glenns, The Glen Urquharts and the Shepherd check, woven on two, three or four colors. Donegal Tweed – has two types. One is a herringbone weave on a white warp with a dark weft; the other, a plain weave fabric woven with a weft which has colored nubs.
