“…procedures, the open dryer and compacting process allow for the best elastic recovery [38]. Contrasting the elastic recovery values of S05, S06, S07, and S08, it is found that S08 has the highest elastic recovery value where S05, S06, S07, and S08 are elastomeric softener-treated samples; the only difference is in their mechanical finishing procedure.…”

“…The reason behind this result is stenter machine holds the fabrics widthwise throughout the machine, whereas the open dryer and compactor release the fabric before entering the heating chamber. It causes the drying of samples in higher tension for the stenter machine and loose tension for the open dryer and compactor[38]. For this reason, the finished width and shrinkage are higher than the open dryer and compactor.…”

An approach to improve the elasticity of rib fabric through mechanical and chemical finishing

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, the demand for knit fabric has increased significantly due to some of its unique properties like comfortability, stretchability, easy care, excellent wrinkle resistance and a high degree of fashion features. Among the different types of knit fabric, rib fabric is very popular for its elasticity. There is a demand for more elasticity of rib fabric in manufacturing apparel like sportswear. A common practice is to use elastane yarn along with native yarn to increase the knit fabric’s elasticity. Elastane fibres are synthetic fibres which are not comfortable. Elastane yarns are costly and cause a few difficulties during knitting. In this study, a combination of mechanical and chemical finishing processes has been introduced to increase the elasticity of 100% cotton rib fabric. The best possible finishing route was incorporated to maximize the rib fabric elasticity. It was observed that rib fabric elasticity can be increased up to 1.5 times from its native value. The material cost between the new proposed process and the existing elastic fabric manufacturing process was compared. It was found that the new process is much cheaper. This is an approach to finding an easy, industrially applicable and cost-effective method to maximize rib fabric elasticity without using any elastane yarn.

“…This comprehensive analysis enabled the determination of color strength (K/S) and subtle tonal variations. 37 The wavelength was selected based on the highest value of color strength obtained during the measurements. Rigorous evaluation of colorfastness attributes was conducted for the dyed fibers, encompassing crucial aspects such as washing (ISO 105 CO3), light exposure (ISO 105 BO2), and rubbing (ISO 105 X-12), meticulously adhering to the stringent ISO standards.…”

This research investigates the viability of using Syzygium aromaticum (clove) as a natural dye for wool yarn through the application of microwave treatment and optimization using central composite design (CCD). As concerns grow over the environmental impact of synthetic dyes and their detrimental disposal in water bodies, the search for eco-friendly alternatives becomes imperative to revolutionize the textile industry. Microwave-assisted extraction of the colorant from clove powder is explored as an efficient and sustainable method, minimizing solvent usage and energy consumption compared to conventional techniques. To enhance colorfastness properties while eliminating the need for toxic mordants, green alternatives such as Al, Fe, and tannic acid, combined with plant phenolics from red sumac, pomegranate rind, and weld, are employed. According to the analysis of CCD, the higher color strength value 18.1653 was achieved using pH = 3, time = 50 min, temperature = 70 °C, and salt concentration = 1.5 g/100 mL. The optimized dyeing conditions also showed a maximum level of colorfastness properties of 5 for light, 5 for wash, 5 for dry rubbing, and 4 for wet rubbing. The findings from Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses provide valuable insights into the chemical and morphological changes induced by microwave treatment and dyeing with clove extract. The results affirm the presence of eugenol as a potential active molecule responsible for the captivating color of clove flower buds, validating its suitability as a natural dye source for wool. This study highlights the promising potential of microwave-assisted extraction and plant-based biomolecules as innovative and environmentally friendly approaches in natural dyeing, paving the way for a more sustainable future in the textile industry. Embracing these eco-friendly practices allows the textile sector to reduce its ecological footprint and contribute to a cleaner and greener environment. Further research and implementation of these techniques can foster a more harmonious coexistence with nature, ensuring a healthier ecosystem for all.
