Carpet weaving

Film can be heated and/or stretched and cut eventually giving filament-like materials. Unfibrillated slit-film materials are used in weaving sacks and other packaging. Randomly fibrillated slit-film material is used to make twines and ropes, while controlled fibrillated material is used to make yarns for use in carpet backings and furnishing fabrics. 

The previous chapters allowed the weaving of polymer science fundamentals and applications into a carpet necessary for those involved in the sciences, engineering, biology, and biomedicines to understand as they ply their trade. This chapter enhances the areas where an understanding of basic polymer principles is important as polymers are employed in many areas in today s society that is becoming increasingly dependent on polymeric materials. 

Soon, she was outside, weaving her way through woodlands, dappled with autumn sunshine and carpeted with crackly brown leaves. It was those same leaves that alerted her to the fact that she was being followed. 

The polyester fibers have high shrink properties, which make them useful in fiber applications where crimp retention or high bulk is desired. Typical applications are in carpet yams, hi-loft non-woven fabrics used as interlinings, cushioning media, and filtration media, as well as in specialty yams for weaving and knitting. The fibers have a lower melting temperature compared to PET, which makes them useful as binder fibers in non-wovens, particularly in combination with PET homopolymer fibers. 

The main commercial developments in the jute industry have been concerned with the spinning and weaving technology, and considerable improvements in productivity have also taken place. However, it is time now to consider what new innovations would assist the spread of jute materials into textile uses outside the traditional fields of packaging and carpets. 

PAN fibers are used in weaving (blanket, carpet and clothes) and in engineering-housing (instead of asbestos) and most importantly for producing carbon fibers [53]. In recent decade PAN fibers are considered as main material for production of carbon fibers. PAN fibers manufactured...

Scrim skrim n [origin unknown] (1792) (1) A Kght-weight, open-weave, coarse fabric tbe best qualities are made with two-ply yarns. Cotton scrim usually comes in white, cream, or ecru and is used for window curtains and as backing for carpets. (2) Fabric with open construction used as base fabric in the production of coated or laminated fabrics. 

Most textiles are now produced in factories, with highly specialized power looms, but many of the finest velvets, brocades, and table linens are still made by hand. Lace is made by interlocking threads together independently, using a backing and any of the methods described above, to create a fine fabric with open holes in the work. Lace can be made by hand or machine. The weaving of carpet and rugs is a special branch of the textile industry.
