Modified Two-strand Spinning Part III: Yarn Performance

S. Norman, X. Wang

In this final part of the series, modified two-strand spun yarns are produced on a modified Sirospun system. The yarns are then evaluated against conventional Sirospun yarns.

Surface Modification of Polyamides Materials with Low Temperature Plasma

Joanne Yip, Kwong Chan, Kwan Moon Sin, Kai Shui Lau

The surface properties of materials are often the important determinants of their usefulness, and many of the chemical treatments now in use are aimed at modifying these…

The Effect of Test Length on Strength of Cotton Yarns

Fengjun Shi, Jinlian Hu

In the paper, the tensile properties of cotton yarns are studied. A lot of data are gotten and analyzed. It indicates that the breaking strength of the yarns follows Weibull…

STRAIN MEASUREMENT IN FABRICS PART I: GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXTENSIBLE STRAIN SENSOR

D.W. Lloyd, D.G. Neilly, D.B. Brook

Almost all end-uses of fabrics make use of the ability of fabrics to suffer strains that are very large compared to engineering strains. This paper is the first of a series…

STRAIN MEASUREMENT IN FABRICS. PART II: A NON-CONTACT METHOD OF DETERMINING FINITE STRAINS - THEORETICAL BASIS

D.W. Lloyd

Deformations in the plane of a fabric, because of their nature, are almost invariably expressed as "percentage extensions", i.e., as changes in length per unit original length…

The Appearance of Pneumatic Spliced Short Staple Ring Spun Yarns

K.P.S. Cheng, H.L.I. Lam

The appearance of a yarn is one of the most important yarn physical properties no matter it is for normal yarns, fancy yarns or the spliced yarns. As for the spliced yarns, the…

Investigation of Fibre Tension and Fibre Breakage in Simulated Fibre Opening Processes

Lijing Wang, Xungai Wang

To reveal the mechanism of fibre damage and breakage in the fibre opening processes, the fibretension during the interaction between a fibre and a pinned beater has been…

Learning of an Instance-Based System for Predicting Garment Sizes

Steve Davis, Christine Jarvis, Vinit Jindal

This project developed an instance-based system to predict garment sizes. Instance-based systems learn by increasing the size of the instance base. Before installing a system…

A Review of The Techniques of Knitting and Moulding Pertinent to Seamless Fashion Creation

Frankie Ng

A study has been carried out to investigate the past and present techniques, processes and procedures that enable creation of seamless fashion towards innovative ends. Among the…
