Analysis of the Thermal Comfort and Impact Properties of the Neoprene-Spacer Fabric Structure for Preventing the Joint Damages

Abstract

Frequent moves at the joint, plus external factors such as trauma, aging, and etc., are all reasons for joint damages. In order to protect and care of joints, the orthopedic textiles are used. To protect the joints, these textiles keep muscles warm to prevent shock.

Measuring the Roughness of Knitted Fabrics by Analysis of the Surface Signals Obtained from Image Processing

Abstract

The present study focuses on the evaluation of weft knitted fabric roughness using image processing. Various knitted fabric samples have been produced using flat and circular knitting machines. The SMD value of fabrics which refers to surface roughness has been measured by Kawabata surface tester.

Comparison of of Softened Polylactic Acid and Polyethylene Terephthalate Fabrics Using KES-FB

Abstract

We examined and compared low-stress mechanical properties, such as tensile, shear, bending, compression, and surface properties, measured by the Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES-FB), of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fabrics before and after softening with commercial softeners.

Effect of the different processing stages on mechanical and Surface properties of cotton-knitted fabrics

Abstract

The influence of different processing stages on the low stress mechanical and surface properties of cotton knitted fabrics has been studied. The KES-FB system has been used for the measuring of low stress tensile, shear, bending, compression and surface properties.
