“…Materials comprised of high-performance aramid fibers, such as Kevlar ® and Nomex ® , are structurally strong and yet lightweight, providing various industrial applications of aramid fibers ranging from fibrous reinforcements in structures to protective gear such as protective vests and helmets to tires based on the exceptional tensile strength, elastic modulus, cut resistance, and tolerance to withstand high temperatures of the constituent fibers (Sabir, 2018).…”

High-performance para-aramid fibers offer a number of uses as strong, lightweight materials for protective vests, helmets, tires, and other applications. The chemically inert nature of the fibers makes them difficult to dye or durably print by conventional dyeing techniques for textiles, and solution dyeing during production of the fibers can limit the color of para-aramid fabrics to the color of the spun yarn prior to weaving or knitting and thereby limit the practical applications of these textiles as protective outerwear. This study presents a new method developed to improve the dyeing of woven para-aramid fabrics with a disperse dye. Specifically, sequential experimentation proves the beneficial effects of first soaking para-aramid fabrics in soybean oil followed by surface treatment with atmospheric nonthermal plasma and using glycerol as the dispersant and sodium chloride as an electrolyte without the addition of other auxiliary chemicals. Under the optimized treatment conditions of this study, the color strength (K/S value) of dyed para-aramid fabrics increased to 3.89 from 0.35 of the untreated samples as determined from spectral analysis of the sample reflectance in the visible range. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed that the high content of unsaturated fatty acids in soybean oil and their interaction with reactive species in the ambient nonthermal plasma were the primary factors for improving the color strength of the dyed para-aramid fabrics.

“…Among the fabrics C, D, and E, it was evident that changes in the HTP values of fabric D were minimal under different levels of moisture in both no air gap and 6 mm air gap conditions, whereas these values were maximized in the case of fabric E. This phenomenon could be explained based on the fiber content, fabric structure, and count of the fabrics. As fabric D is manufactured with synthetic aramid fibers, a ripstop structure, and comparatively low fabric count, it may not absorb much moisture; however, fabric E comprises natural cotton fibers with a twill structure and could absorb moisture [ 53 ]. Due to changes in the absorbed moisture level within the fabrics depending upon the fiber content, the HTP values could differ in both no air gap and 6 mm air gap conditions [ 54 ].…”

Most of the fatalities and injuries of oilfield workers result from inadequate protection and comfort by their clothing under various work hazards and ambient environments. Both the thermal protective performance and thermo-physiological comfort performance of textile fabrics used in clothing significantly contribute to the mitigation of workers’ skin burns and heat-stress-related deaths. This study aimed to apply the ANN modeling approach to analyze clothing performance considering the wearers’ sweat moisture and the microclimate air gap that is generated in between their body and clothing. Firstly, thermal protective and thermo-physiological comfort performance of fire protective textiles used in oilfield workers’ clothing were characterized. Different fabric properties (e.g., thickness, weight, fabric count), thermal protective performance, and thermo-physiological comfort performance were measured. The key fabric property that affects thermal protective and thermo-physiological performance was identified as thickness by statistical analysis. The ANN modeling approach could be successfully implemented to analyze the performance of fabrics in order to predict the performance more conveniently based on the fabric properties. It is expected that the developed models could inform on-duty oilfield workers about protective and thermo-physiological comfort performance and provide them with occupational health and safety.

“…14 Temperature application provides stability to the spandex yarns and provides a permanent amorphous structure from the randomness. 15 Researcher also reported that strength has a direct relationship with the fiber content it have. If the polyester content percentage is increased the strength property is also increased.…”

The purpose of this research is to observe the reason behind the damage of the elastic fibers of woven garments while manufacturing and to find out their remedies. Different types of elastic spandex woven garments were used in this research of different manufacturing stages. The reasons of the damages of the spandex woven garments were identified and their remedies were conversed. Spandex woven garments were damaged due to sewing and all other operations involved from cutting to finishing at factories. The content of the spandex fibers were identified using FTIR spectroscopy in accordance with the test method provided by AATCC 20A. Infrared radiation could show the IR spectral scan since IR radiation can pass through the fabric. This research was practiced based and the findings could be beneficial to the personnel involved in textile industries and for the manufacture of elastic woven garments.
