An investigation about the effects of knitted fabrics’ dimensional change on the pattern size in garment production

Investigation of polypropylene yarns containing silver nanoparticles: Fiber characteristics, yarn properties, and fabric performance analysis

“…Medical textiles can be produced from knitted, woven, non-woven structures, braided or composite structures. [1][2][3][4][5][6] While the carbohydrate and protein/keratin structured fibers in the structure of cotton fiber can be a food source for microorganisms, furthermore, the moisture in the structure of hydrophilic fibers can also be a food source for microorganisms on the textile surface. In addition, fabrics produced by using yarns made of staple fibers create more fly than fabrics produced by using yarns made of continue filament.…”

“…Therefore, natural fibers may have disadvantages compared to synthetic fibers in terms of infection in the medical textile industry, unless they are given any protective properties. 1,2 Synthetic fibers are used both alone and in blends with elastane in the production of knitted fabrics. There are many studies in the literature showing that the spindle shapes used in obtaining synthetic fiber affect some properties of the final product.…”

“…Given that the fiber selection and production process determine the functional performance of the product, the design of this process is crucial. Medical textiles can be produced from knitted, woven, non‐woven structures, braided or composite structures 1–6 …”

“…The presence of fly in fabrics may pose a vital risk for patients undergoing open surgery. Therefore, natural fibers may have disadvantages compared to synthetic fibers in terms of infection in the medical textile industry, unless they are given any protective properties 1,2 . Synthetic fibers are used both alone and in blends with elastane in the production of knitted fabrics.…”
