Soilless Cotton & Non-Petroleum Polyester- Potential Opportunities for Sustainability in Textiles

Today, most of people who start off for an environmentally friendly application do more damage to sustainability compared with conventional methods. 

Therefore, this book primarily aims to understand real sustainable production. 

Secondly, it is emphasized in this book that wastes of textiles and garments constitute a major environmental load. 

At this point, it is pointed out that recycling is the best solution for humanity. 

It is highlighted that recycling presents us the opportunity to obtain “soilless cotton” and “non-petroleum polyester”. 

This book examines these two recycled fibers that have important potentials for sustainability by using arguments obtained from the author's knowledges, experiences, researches and latest literature. 

Finally, it is pointed out that habitat provided by people who do the right things for sustainability are begun to be abused by malicious ones. 

This book describes how to become true environmentalists, how real environmentalists can recognized and the main principles of sustainability and recycling in textiles. 

This book gives suggestions to producer, consumer, academicians and researchers in this field.

The effects of metal type, number of layers, and hybrid yarn placement on the absorption and reflection properties in electromagnetic shielding of woven fabrics

In this study, stainless steel, copper, and silver wires were intermingled with two polyamide 6.6 filaments through the commingling technique to produce three-component hybrid yarns. 

The produced hybrid yarns were used as weft in the structure of plain woven fabric samples. 

The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness parameters of samples were measured in the frequency range of 0.8–5.2 GHz by the free space technique. 

The effects of metal hybrid yarn placement, number of fabric layers, metal types, and wave polarization on the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness and absorption and reflection properties of the woven fabrics were analyzed statistically at low and high frequencies separately. 

As a result, the samples have no shielding property in the warp direction. Metal types show no statistically significant effect on electromagnetic shielding effectiveness. 

However, fabrics containing stainless steel have a higher absorption power ratio than copper and silver samples. 

Double-layer samples have higher electromagnetic shielding effectiveness values than single-layer fabrics in both frequency ranges. 

However, the number of layers does not have a significant effect on the absorbed and reflected power in the range of 0.8–2.6 GHz. 

There was a significant difference above 2.6 GHz frequency for absorbed power ratio. 

An increase in the density of hybrid yarns in the fabric structure leads to an increase in the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness values. 

Two-metal placement has a higher absorbed power than the full and onemetal placements, respectively. 

The samples which have double layers and including metal wire were in their all wefts reached the maximum electromagnetic shielding effectiveness values for stainless steel (78.70 dB), copper (72.69 dB), and silver composite (57.50 dB) fabrics.

An Image Processing Research Consistent with Standard Photographs to Determine Pilling Grade of Woven Fabrics

Objective results corresponding to each parameter were analyzed comparatively with these subjective results. 

The developed method was successful by using mean of matrix elements from textural parameters and total area from pill characteristics.

 

In this study, MATLAB 2018a software was used to evaluate pilling grade of woven fabrics objectively.

Experimental works were carried out on the EMPA W3 standard photographs and accordingly two woven fabrics.

Equations were built based on the measurements of pill characteristics and textural parameters of these photographs with the help of curve fitting method after image processing steps.

Intervals were generated for each fabric by using slope of these equations and quantitative parameters obtained from the original fabric.

Furthermore, fabrics that were provided pilling formation at different test turns were evaluated subjectively by expert operators.

Properties of Yarns Obtained by Combining FDY with POY, CDPET and Micro POY Polyester Filaments Under Different Texturing Conditions and Their Visual Effects in Knitted Fabric

In recent years, combination of filament yarns in continuous yarn production are used for innovative product development studies.

In this study, POY and FDY polyester filaments having different structures and specifications were combined using nip-twisters by false-twist texturing method.

Twelve different yarns were obtained by using constant FDY and three different POY materials with the state of FDY in first heater and two different drawing values.

Linear density, breaking force, breaking elongation, shrinkage in boiling water and number of nips were measured in these yarns.

Furthermore, the visual effects in knitting fabrics produced from texturized yarns were investigated.

It was observed that the produced combined yarns have different structural and visual effects compared to single textured yarn.

Objective Measurement of Pilling Resistance in Knitted Fabrics with Image Processing Techniques

In the textile industry, measurement techniques based on image processing principles prepare to take over subjective evalution.

In this study, MATLAB software was used to evaluate pilling of knitted fabrics as objective. Knitted fabric images were taken in the cycles of 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000 and 7000.

Fabric’s surface digitization, pills detection and segmentation were carried out from these images.

Texture analysis was performed with Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). After this phase, pill quantizations were made using images in matrix format obtained from image processing studies.

Standart deviation, entropy and mean of matrix elements, pill count, pill area and contrast values increased with the increase of rubbing cycles applied on the fabric.

Furthermore, the increase of rubbing cycles caused decrease in energy and homogeneity.

Usage of Recycled Cotton and Polyester Fibers for Sustainable Staple Yarn Technology

In this study, yarns were produced from cotton fibers (CO), recycled cotton fibers obtained from yarn wastes (r-CO) and fibers produced from recycled PET bottles (r-PET).

Tensile strength, elongation at break, unevenness (CVm), yarn imperfections (IPI) values and hairiness properties of these yarns were measured.

The purpose of this study was to eliminate negative characteristics of recycled cotton and polyester fibers with using together by open-end spinning system.

There was no study about r-CO/r-PET blends in the literature.

This study was also given significant findings related to these blends.

This paper obtained results which corroborate the findings of a considerable number of the previous works in CO/r-CO and CO/r-PET binary blends.

Furthermore, this study contributes to the extant literature.
