“…Thus, the main finding is that to avoid less shrinkage, it is recommended to use more regenerated wool in the fabric. Such results do not contradict earlier results of the references [ 10 , 16 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 22 ] for the shrinkage in the directions of the weft and warp of woolen fabrics and the results of the properties of regenerated woolen fabrics [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”

“…It was established that the shrinkage of woven fabric in both weft and warp directions depends on the length of weave floats. Woolen fabrics without surface treatment undergo major changes in their structure including the shrinkage after washing; thus, the different treatments can be used to reduce these undesirable properties [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Thus, the main result of our investigation is confirmation that the shrinkage of woolen fabric depends on fabric structure, especially on the fabric weave and the length of floats in the weave.…”

“…This could be influenced by longer floats of one type in the direction of the warp and higher steps of the weave—the floats in the direction of the warp were longer than these in the direction of the weft, and because of this, shrinkage in the direction of the warp is easier. The authors of the references [ 10 , 16 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 22 ] investigated the shrinkage in weft and warp directions of different simple weaves such as plain, different twills, basket. They established that the weaves with longer floats in the directions of the warp and weft had the higher shrinkage than the fabrics with shorter floats.…”

“…This result also corresponded to predomination of the warp shrinkage of Series 1 in honeycomb weaves, which had short floats and a high amount of interweaving. The influence of the weave of woolen fabrics on their shrinkage in the directions of the warp and weft has been investigated by other scientists [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. It was estimated that the shrinkage increases when the float length of fabric weave decreases.…”

“…Such laundering parameters as the liquor ratio, detergent concentration, pH, temperature, and time of treatment influence the shrinkage of woolen fabrics [ 16 ]. To make such fabrics shrink-resistant, different finishing can be customized [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”

The aim of this article was to compare the shrinkage and air permeability properties of woolen fabrics and fabrics with regenerated wool woven with different weaves for establishing the suitability of regenerated wool for blankets. Two series of products with yarns of different raw materials were woven. One group of fabrics was woven with regenerated woolen yarn in the weft and woolen yarn in the warp. The other group of fabrics was woven only from 100% woolen yarns. The shrinkage in the directions of the warp and the weft and the air permeability of the fabrics with regenerated wool and 100% woolen fabrics with different weaves were investigated. The shrinkage in the directions of the warp and the weft in the fabrics with regenerated wool in the weft and 100% woolen fabrics depended on the float length in the weave. When the length of the weave increased, the shrinkage also increased. The air permeability value changed depending on the number of intersections and the float length. The fabrics with regenerated wool in the direction of the weft had higher air permeability. The Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed that the weave influenced the shrinkage in the directions of the weft and warp, but the raw material had no influence on the shrinkage. The weave did not influence the air permeability, in contrast to the raw material. The shrinkage in the directions of the warp and weft and the air permeability did not depend on the interrelationships of the weave group and the raw material of the fabric.

3D Printing of Textiles: Potential Roadmap to Printing with Fibers

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract3D printing (3DP) has transformed engineering, manufacturing, and the use of advanced materials due to its ability to produce objects from a variety of materials, ranging from soft polymers to rigid ceramics. 3DP offers the advantage of being able to print at a variety of lengths scales; from a few micrometers to many meters. 3DP has the unique ability to produce customized small lots, efficiently. Yet, one crucial industry that has not been able to adequately explore its potential is textile manufacturing. The research in 3DP of textiles has lagged behind other areas primarily due to the difficulty in obtaining some of the unique characteristics of strength, flexibility, etc., of textiles, utilizing a fundamentally different manufacturing technology. Textiles are their own class of materials due to the specific structural developments that occur during the various stages of textile manufacturing: from fiber extrusion to assembly of the fibers to fabrics. Here, the current 3DP technologies are reviewed with emphasis on soft and anisotropic structures, as well as the efforts toward 3DP of textiles. Finally, a potential pathway to 3DP of textiles, dubbed as printing with fibers to create textile structures is proposed for further exploration.
