“…ese properties are mainly dependent upon the physical and chemical properties of the fibers. Crimp, fineness, surface roughness, diameter, and all other properties of the fiber contribute to the mechanical properties of the fabric [34,35]. Fiber's diameter has a main impact on the handle and the stiffness of the fabric.…”

Textiles have been used for clothing purposes since ancient times. However, due to their functional properties, their importance-as well as their use in various elds such as ltration, protective clothing, and medical applications-increased over time. Properties of the textile fabrics depend mostly on the ber type, fabrication technique, and structure. Moreover, fabric porosity is one of the properties that provide comfort, increased thermal insulation, and ltration capability to the end products.e porous structure of woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics has been used for many years to get the desired porosity. Usually, macroporous structures are achieved using these types of textiles. Electrospinning is used to produce nanoporous textile brous web, but its poor mechanical properties and low production rate limit its use. Aerogels are solid materials with ultrahigh porosity at the nanoscale with low density and good thermal insulation properties, due to which they are considered potential insulation materials today. On the other hand, pure aerogels are sometimes brittle and have poor mechanical properties. us, they cannot be directly used in various applications. Consequently, textile reinforced aerogel composites have been developed, which could provide exibility and strength to aerogels and impart nanoporous structure to textiles. is review summarizes conventional techniques to produce the porous structure in textiles followed by the modern techniques to develop a nanoporous structure. Further, di erent mechanisms to synthesize textile reinforced aerogel composites are discussed to get a nanoporous structure for ltration and thermal insulation applications. e porosity, mechanical properties, and thermal insulation of textile reinforced aerogel composites are also highlighted. In the end, we give a conclusion that not only summarizes the literature, but also includes recommendations for the researchers.

“…Blended textiles are widely produced and consumed due to their unique characteristics. The blending process refers to combining two or more types of staple fibers, the most prominent blend in the market is cotton/ polyester using different percentages [3]. Blending can be performed during different production stages of yarn manufacturing.…”

“…Coming can increase the strength of yarn made from other non-conventional techniques; however, the yarn made with ring spinning still has higher strength (Jalal Uddin, 2010). The high cost of energy is related to more usage of compressed air as the system comprises of two nozzles (Akhtar et al , 2020). The properties of raw materials have significant effect on the drapability of knitted fabric.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to produce yarns from three different spinning techniques, i.e.Murata Vortex Spinning (MVS) ring spinning and rotor spinning. Those yarns were then used to produce fabrics. Then, the effect of silicone softener on tactile comfort of fabric was investigated. Design/methodology/approach Three different yarns, i.e. Ring, Rotor and MVS yarns, were used to make fabrics using CCI sample loom which were then subjected to post treatments like desizing, scouring and bleaching. After the completion of the dyeing process, silicone-based softener was used to improve the hand feel of fabrics. The structures of three yarns were evaluated using Scanning electron microscopy. The fabrics were evaluated against compression, bending and surface properties using Kawabata evaluation system. Findings The fabric made of MVS yarn depicted more geometrical roughness, coefficient of friction and bending rigidity but less compressibility as compared to fabrics made with other yarns. It was observed that softener concentration has a direct relationship with thickness and bending rigidity of the fabric, and inverse relationship with coefficient of friction and geometrical roughness of the fabric. Originality/value MVS yarn has some superior properties over rotor and ring spun yarn like high production rates, high resistance to pilling, clear appearance and stability against deformation but has disadvantage that it has less compressibility. Therefore, softener is applied on the fabric, to address this issue, so that it could also be used for apparels application.
