“…The imperfections can affect the performance of yarns in subsequent processing (winding, warping, sizing and weaving) as well as the visual appearance of fabrics (Regar et al, 2017). All imperfection parameters are often expressed together by sum up of thin, thick and neps, known as imperfection index (IPI) (Irfan et al, 2023). Here, the thresholds for thin (-50%/km), thick (+ 50%/km) and neps (+ 280%/km) were taken for calculating IPI of jute core-spun yarns.…”

Stretch-denim is a unique, trendy, and sturdy fabric produced with coarser cotton yarns requiring high consumption of cotton fiber. With the increasing expenses of cotton and the adverse ecological effects linked to its cultivation, it became necessary to investigate an alternative fiber. Jute, despite being a low-cost, biodegradable and sustainable natural cellulosic fiber, is often underappreciated in the textile industry primarily because of its inherent stiffness and poor aesthetics. Herein, a groundbreaking jute/elastane core-spun yarn was produced, for the very first time, to develop fabrics like denim with comfortable stretch. To accurately predict the elastane draw ratio, an I-optimal design, which is a part of the response surface methodology, was employed using design expert software. The study involved nine experimental runs to produce 276 tex core-spun yarns at different elastane draw ratios ranging from 1.4 to 4.6. Surface response models were developed and found statistically significant for mass variation, imperfection, hairiness, tenacity, and elongation of yarn, with p-values below 0.05. Using the optimized formulation obtained from the response models, the optimum elastane draw ratio was determined to be 3.42, which was then used to produce optimized core-spun yarn. The quality parameters of produced yarn closely matched the predicted values, suggesting the effectiveness of the response model in navigating and predicting the characteristics of jute core-spun yarn. The newly developed elastic jute yarn is expected to widen the applications of cellulosic jute yarns where elasticity is necessary, especially in stretch-textile like denim products by replacing the cotton counterpart.

“…To meet this demand, so-called bicomponent, tricomponent and even more filaments, combining several types of polyester have been developed. These filaments present excellent performances in terms of durability 1 , mechanical resistance 2 , 3 , water vapor permeability 4 , elastic recovery 5 , 6 , biodegradability 7 , thermal comfort 6 , etc. In this context, a new trend is emerging; it consists in using these functional filaments which have new properties for technical use.…”

In recent years, a great interest has focused on the use of bicomponent filaments in several high-performance textile articles such as swimwear, sportswear and even high-quality denim. To dye fabrics containing these filaments, it is necessary to establish appropriate dye recipes allowing to obtain desired shades. In this article, we developed a genetic algorithm to optimize the color matching step of these bicomponent filaments, especially (PET/PTT) filaments. Three disperse dyes with different molecular weights were used for dyeing. The objective is to reproduce the reference color by choosing the appropriate disperse dyes among the available dyestuffs and their corresponding quantities to use on the mixture. For modeling, two sets of parameters (lied to the color formulation problem and the genetic algorithm), the objective function as well as the different stages of the algorithm were defined and described. In addition, different techniques of selection and mutation were applied and evaluated. The optimization criterion is to reduce the CMC color difference between the desired reference colors and the colors proposed by the algorithm. The developed algorithm showed good performances with very small color differences. The results indicate that the roulette wheel selection technique outperforms both rank and uniform selection methods. Moreover, employing a simple mutation strategy yields favorable outcomes with CMC color differences all lower than 1.
