Paramount issues of sustainability are included, with considerations of innovative developments in intelligent, adaptive and interactive materials as part of the creation of functional active sports clothing.R. HibbertTextile-Led Design for the Active Ageing Population...
Since microfibres can be as small as 0.2 deniers in diameter, textile manufacturers cannot extrude the polyester fibres used in microfibre production through conventional spinnerets. Instead, they use long, metallic tubes, and the resulting polyester fibres are allowed to cool before they are melde...
Ecological textile packaging reduces waste, as it’s made from multi-use, durable materials such as organic hemp, organic or recycled cotton, tapioca, or palm leaves. All are biodegradable, so they take less time to decompose naturally. Examples of usage include organic cot...
All the properties of cotton fiber above are the basic indicators of cotton quality, which have an important impact on the wearing comfort, durability, safety and so on of textile. It has great significance to understand and study these properties for improving the quality of textiles and increas...
At the Fiber Producer conference, held 13 October 1982 in Greenville, USA, several executives of fibre-producing companies expressed their opinions on the future of fibres with which they are associated. Some of the papers presented include: Outlook for fibres by R. R. Zoccolillo; Appraisal of...
However, there are a couple of fabrics that are very similar to lyocell fabric that you should be aware of as you learn more about this textile. Examples of these similar fabrics include: Viscose rayon: This fabric was the first type of cellulose textile to rise into popularity. Viscose ra...
Performance fabrics are often woven using advanced techniques that result in tightly knit fibres to enhance the fabric's strength and resistance to abrasion. Furthermore, performance fabrics are typically made using high-quality synthetic fibres and blends that are chosen for their strength and ...

A synthetic resin in which the polymer units are linked by ester groups, used chiefly to make synthetic textile fibres. Microfiber An extremely fine synthetic fiber that can be woven or knit into textiles with the texture and drape of natural-fiber cloth but with enhanced washability, breathabil...
aEmerging fibres forming hairiness are typical for many textile surfaces. Hairiness is an important factor for the friction behaviour of fabrics, for tactile feel, as well as for the performance of textiles during sports practice. So far, there is no detailed understanding about how the mechanical...
