It is mainly evaluated and compared significantly via fabric air permeability. This study aimed to optimization of the fabric parameters influencing the woven cotton fabrics’ air permeability. Twenty seven different fabric combinations using a 33 full factorial design were diminished to only nine fabric samples according to L9 Taguchi’s orthogonal design. These fabric samples were produced, tested and evaluated. Using S/N ratios, the best combinations of factor levels which yield the highest value of fabric air permeability were detected efficiently.","PeriodicalId":17128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Textile Science & Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89412258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This project is a practical based project, which can help not only the textile learners but also the fabric developer in a massive way to manufacture cotton spandex fabric and also to control their properties strongly. The difficulties found during manufacturing cotton spandex woven fabric were enlisted them cordially and after that all of them were solved earnestly. Cotton spandex woven fabric cannot be manufactured without trial, all of which are strongly discussed in this project briefly. This project work is just not a paper work, but it is an achievement, which has been achieved by working strongly in the textile mills. It is to be mentioned that, “stretch or super stretch” is a welcoming property which can increase the comfort level of wearer, on the other hand there remains another paradoxical property named “growth” which has some de-welcoming properties on fabrics for which it is strongly needed to be controlled and all these things are carefully discussed in this project. Growth basically has an increasing relative property with the increment of stretch, but at a stage, this increased growth brings about some negative effect in fabric which creates some bad impression to wearer. Although, growth is proportional to its stretch but this growth should not be increased with the increment of stretch due to which, it is required to be controlled through some additional but necessary treatment like heat setting through stenter machine at fabric’s wet processing zone. What actually happened due to heat setting the cotton spandex woven fabric and what changes happened in its internal structure that is also seen in microscope and analysed the differences and discussed it here in this project work.","PeriodicalId":17128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Textile Science & Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75527382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally visual pass/fail analysis was carried out by trained colourists. However, these visual decisions are subject to a number of problems which can make them unreliable. Approximately 8% of the male population have a colour vision deficiency (known colloquially as colour blindness) which means that pairs of samples may be a visual match to them despite appearing to be very different to other so-called normal observers [3]. Some variation in colour vision also is found in normal observers [4] and the effect of the viewing environment can affect visual decisions. Although the use of high-quality viewing cabinets can reduce variation in pass/fail decisions even the colour of the background in the cabinet against which the pair of samples are viewed can greatly affect the magnitude of the visual difference (the ‘crispening’ effect) [5]. In 1953 an analysis of 287 pairs of samples were visually assessed by 8 trained colourists [6] and a later analysis of these data showed that 24.5% of the pairs that should pass were rejected and 13.3% of the pairs that should be rejected were passed [1]. Several such studies have since been carried out and it is widely understood that as many as 25% ‘wrong decisions’ are made by professional colourists when making visual pass/ fail decisions [7]. This variability in the pass/fail decision is potentially costly and instrumental methods have been available for at least 50 years. This paper considers the current state of instrumental colourdifference evaluation and highlights some best practice.","PeriodicalId":17128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Textile Science & Engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89729128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new design needs new analysis; new manufacturing technique which will take much more time. There is no practice of scientific analysis to manufacturing a new design garment. Critical path method is one of the most effective techniques which is a systematic approach to identifying and reducing manufacturing time through the earliest start time and the earliest finish time and also provides a scientific method for product manufacturing and whole production management. This study was carried out at a men’s T- shirt producer i.e., a ready wear company. The current state of the production lines was analyzed within the scope of the study. Then t-shirt production lines were organized with the CPM techniques. The main strategy of CPM was estimated actual operation time by decreasing traditional manufacturing time. As a result, using of the CPM in garment manufacturing less the lead time of production time as well as the whole manufacturing system gets a new approach and also manufacturer are able to produce the product within minimum possible time and the apparel manufacturer will be able to fabricate contemporary fashion production project.","PeriodicalId":17128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Textile Science & Engineering","volume":"51 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80498428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As populations continue to age, patient expectations for implant performance will continue to rise. The potential for high performing bio-medical materials is being realized and will continue to advance the evolution towards more fibre based approaches to device development that will perform more effectively and comfortably both outside and inside the human body. Medical textile breakthroughs have provided a broad array of implantable devices including vascular grafts, surgical mesh, heart valve components, orthopaedic sutures and fabric scaffolds designed to aid tissue repair. Technical textiles have the potential to perform better, last longer and increase comfort in the body as well as alleviating concerns around more traditional implanted materials such as metal. Although minimal invasive approaches to cardiovascular and orthopaedic procedures can be promoted with the use of technical textiles, they can be used in a more innovative way than simply repairing or replacing damaged tissue as surgeons can now use their ability to aid regrowth and natural functioning of damaged areas within the body. Global recessions and healthcare cost increases have had a marked global impact on every institution and organisation involved with the delivery of healthcare services and products. The NHS is constantly looking to make savings without compromising quality and this is placing the technical textile industry in a dynamic position to respond to these economic pressures. This paper examines key areas in which innovation in textile technology is promoting health and wellbeing. It considers the commercial and academic context in which these innovations are being developed, examines the main sectors in which these innovations are being directed, and concludes by suggesting which aspects of health and wellbeing are likely to gain the most from the application of technical textiles in the short and long term.","PeriodicalId":17128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Textile Science & Engineering","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88390326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The computer simulation of four types of frequency distribution of jute fibre length depending on method of sampling and testing is presented. These four distribution curves gives six points of intersections which merit technological significance. A study of fibre length-frequency distribution depending on methods of sampling and testing may lead to a general form of Gamma distribution function. The parameters in the mathematical formulae may serve as characteristics of condition giving the benchmark for valid experiment. This type of work involving exponential distribution was not done previously and provides a deeper insight into the characterisation of its comparative features with respect to normal distribution of fibre length. It can be observed that fibrograms for exponential and normal distributions have close similarity if their mean values are same. However, the survivor or array diagram distinguishes the basic distributions better than the fibrogram. This would be useful in the context that the basic frequency distributions of fibre lengths are somewhat difficult to obtain from direct experiments.","PeriodicalId":17128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Textile Science & Engineering","volume":"42 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84559642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
