This book was released on 1971 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increased production and use of double knit fabrics made from textured filament polyester, homemakers have become concerned over procedures for care that can be successfully carried out in the home. The purpose of this study was to determine what effects wash water temperatures and drying methods have on the dimensional stability and surface appearance of filament polyester double knit fabrics. Changes in general physical properties, dimensional change, and surface appearance of four fabrics were studied after ten launderings at three wash water temperatures with two drying methods. Shirts made from two fabrics were worn by nursery school children, laundered ten times, and rated for pilling and snagging. All filament polyester double knit fabrics in this study shrank more when washed in hot water and when dried in the tumble dryer than when washed in warm or cool water and horizontally screen dried. Shrinkage was continuous after five and ten launderings, although at a decreasing rate. All four fabrics had better appearance when laundered in warm or cool wash water and when tumble dried after ten launderings than when washed in hot water and horizontally screen dried. Data indicated that resistance to pilling as tested in the Random Tumble Pilling Tester and snagging on shirts worn and laundered ten times were more dependent upon fabric characteristics and wearing conditions than on laundering conditions. Fabrics won consumer acceptance by parents of nursery school children who participated in the wear study.

Book excerpt: Here is the fabric and textile directory that dressmakers and fashion designers everywhere have been waiting for. This book is like having your own personal shopper - able to recommend fabrics to suit the effects you want to achieve, show you how the fabric will perform, and tell you the best ways of using it. - Organized by function: do you want a fabric for structure, fluidity and movement, added volume, definition or decoration? This book works in such a way that you can view the fabric as the medium from which the garment design can be achieved right from the beginning. - Each textile in the directory is accompanied by samples of the fabric presented so that its properties come alive, allowing you to really understand how a fabric might behave. - The chart section at the back of the book includes essential guides to fibre properties, fabric structure and weight, fabric characteristics and end use.
Download or read book Physical Testing of Textiles written by B P Saville and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-01-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the physical testing of textiles in the form of fibre, yarn and fabric, the emphasis throughout eing on standard and reproducible tests. After an introductory explanation of sampling and measurement, the author explores the effects of moisture on textiles, then goes on to discuss fibre dimension, yarn tests for linear density, twist, evenness and hairiness, tensile strength, and dimensional stability and serviceability. Also covered are aspects of comfort and fabric handle, colour fastness and quality assurance. The book's comprehensive coverage of the physical properties of textiles makes it an essential reference for managers in the textiles industry concerned with quality assurance, garment and fabric technologists, and students of textile science and engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference, in its second edition, contains more than 7,500 polymeric material terms, including the names of chemicals, processes, formulae, and analytical methods that are used frequently in the polymer and engineering fields. In view of the evolving partnership between physical and life sciences, this title includes an appendix of biochemical and microbiological terms (thus offering previously unpublished material, distinct from all competitors.) Each succinct entry offers a broadly accessible definition as well as cross-references to related terms. Where appropriate to enhance clarity further, the volume's definitions may also offer equations, chemical structures, and other figures. The new interactive software facilitates easy access to a large database of chemical structures (2D/3D-view), audio files for pronunciation, polymer science equations and many more.
Download or read book Chemistry of the Textiles Industry written by C. Carr and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1995-05-31 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manufacture and processing of textiles is a complex and essential industry requiring many diverse skills to ensure profitability. New products are continually being developed, and reflect the energy and innovation of those working in the field. This book focuses on the technological aspects of the chemical processing oftextiles, and on the modifications necessary for specific work environments. Coverage ranges from fibre structure and its relationship to tensile properties, textile aesthetics, comfort physiology, and end-use performance, through to the effect of domestic processing by the consumer on the textile product. The industry is constantly under environmental pressure, and the book examines the nature of environmental control and the development of alternative technology to produce less environmental impact. In order to provide a balanced view of the current situation, authors have been drawn from academia, research institutes and industry to produce a text that will be useful to both industrial readers and university students. In conclusion I would like to thank the authors for their dedication and their contributions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1800s, people have made a living fishing and harvesting mussels in the lower Ohio Valley. These river folk are conscious of an occupational and social identity separate from those who earn their living from the land. Sustained by a shared love of the river, deriving joy from the beauty of their chosen environment, and feeling great pride in their ability to subsist on its wild resources and to master the skills required to make a living from it, many still identify with the nomadic houseboat-dwelling subculture that flourished on the river from the early nineteenth century to the 1950s. Today's community of fisherfolk is small and economically marginal, but their activities sustain a complex set of traditional skills and a body of verbal folklore associated with river life. In Flatheads and Spoonies, Jens Lund describes the activities, boats, gear, verbal lore, and sense of identity of the fisher folk of the lower Ohio River Valley and provides historical and ethnobiological background for their way of life. Lund connects the importance of river fish in the diet of inhabitants of the valley to local fishing activities and explores the relationship between river people and those whose culture is primarily land-based, painting a colorful portrait of river fishing and river life. This book offers a look—historical and ethnographic—at a little-known aspect of traditional life in the American Midwest, still surviving today despite immense changes in environment, resources, and economic base.
