Color Discharge Printing Without The Use Of An Illuminating Dye
This abstract describes research conducted in fulfillment of a Degree of Masters of Science in Textile Management and Technology at the College of Textiles at NCSU. The research explored several methods for imparting colored patterns onto a...
Changes of Physical and Low-stress Mechanical Properties of Garments with Wrinkle-free Treatment after Repeated Launderings
For hygiene reasons, garments need to be washed. Garments should therefore have the durability against washing. The effects of washing on the properties and performance of fabrics were investigated by a number of previous workers. Hurren et...
Computational Simulation of Clothing Mechanical Behavior With An Improved Particle Model
This paper reports the development of an improved particle model to simulate cloth mechanical behavior. A particle model of square meshes, which is close to the orthotropic structure of woven fabric, is used to represent the cloth. Besides...
Mass Customization: Implications & Implementation
The textile and apparel complex has been scrambling in recent years to adjust to a rapidly changing business environment. Industry leaders have been forced to evaluate this business shift and the ultimate effect on the consumer to determine...
The Impact of Globalization on Textile Trade – Myths & Realities
Trade is probably the most ancient of the economical activities to have taken place. Not only commodities but also the exchange of ideas, information, entertainment and even culture, is now an irreversible fact of life. With components and...
Aligning the Supply Chain to Anticipate Developing Market Trends
Supply chain management (or mismanagement) has a substantial impact on the successfulness of business strategies. Yet, too often companies look at the tools of supply chain management as operation-based only and not as an integral part of t...
An Analytical Study on Development of Egypt’s Yarn and Textile Product Exports Before and After ERSAP Implementation
The study is divided into an introduction and four chapters about developing of ARE exports of cotton spinning and textile products before and after application of economic reform policy. Its mentioned in the introduction that Egyptian cott...
3D-Drape Measurement of Apparel Fabrics and its Correlation with Subjective Appearance Evaluation
Definition and measurement of drape co-efficient using the Cusick Drapemeter does not reflect the elegance of drape. Fabric samples with different hanging appearance are found to have same drape coefficient. Therefore, a new method of measu...
The Use of Cationized Cotton To Improve the Cotton Dyeing Process
Cotton garments continue to be a popular choice with consumers desiring the feel and comfort of natural fibers. However, all current dyes for cotton exhibit only a moderate affinity for the fiber. In order to apply cotton dyes in reasonable...
An Investigation into Fibre Irregularities
Most fibres are highly irregular. This is particularly the case for natural fibres such as wool. Yet the published data concerning the mechanical properties of fibres have largely ignored this important fibre feature. This paper reports our...
Prototype Using Image Analysis to Control Fibre Web Drafting for Isotropic Nonwoven Applications
An automatic system, based on image analysis, is proposed to control the anisotropy of fiber webs to be used in nonwoven applications. These fibre webs are cross lapped and preneedled. Submitted to a drafting process it is expected that the...
Assessing TQM tools for Introducing Continuous Quality Improvement in Apparel Industry
The implementation of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) can not be successful without using suitable quality management tools: methods, techniques and instruments (MTI-s). MTI-s play a key role in a company-wide approach to continuos imp...
