Photochromic materials are frequently used in Jacquard fabrics, embroidery and prints in different garments for decoration. The Swedish Interactive Institute" proposed the use of photochromic fabrics as soft displays. Hallnas and co-workers dynamically illuminated various parts of... 

Non-slip finishes are often used with under-constmcted fabrics to compensate for the reduced yam count and to achieve acceptable physical properties. Lining and pocketing fabrics made with smooth synthetic filaments are finished with friction enhancers combined with durable press agents, water repellents or hand modifiers to prevent seam slippage. Umbrella fabrics made from nylon or polyester filament yams are treated with friction enhancers and water repellents. The properties of any woven fabric with long floats can usually be improved with nonslip finishes. In particular, Jacquard upholstery fabrics with long floats are... 

The characteristics (Raymond and Stuart, 1998) of elastomeric woven fabrics can be addressed as (1) constmction versatility (2) controlled strength and tension characteristics (3) variety of yam types (4) wide width range from /4-inch to 12-inch (5) pattern designed jacquard logos (6) finished fabric enhanced appearance (7) controlled shrinkage and (8) easy to color. 

Raschel Warp knit raschel fabrics are produced in a similar way as tricot fabrics except for their stitch motions. The motion results in elastic yams being put into raschel construction as lay-in-yams versus knit-in yams on tricot constractions as shown in Figure 3.7. This lay-in stmcture leads to the raschel fabrics with elastic stretch in the length direction. Other elastic bar movements are possible to increase stretch and modulus in width. Raschel machines can have up to 64 yam guide bars to produce fabric patterns as extensive as jacquard lace. Elastomeric fabrics made by raschel showed good elastic stretch, recovery, and modulus in both length and width directions as elastic yam lap increases. 

On the finished article, the logos can be knitted on either the outer or inner fabric face. For example, a brand name on the outside and washing instructions on the inside. The jacquard facility is also used on garment panels to mark out where cutting should take place prior to sewing.

Early work by Hitco used angle (warp) interlock with thick woven fabrics [44]. Soden and Hill [45] have described the fabrication of a diverse range of flat and shaped preforms using conventional weaving, undertaken on an electronically controlled Jacquard power loom with a CAD design package developed at Ulster University [46]. 

Batiste bo-test, ba- [F] (1697) n. (1) A sheer, woven, mercerized fabric of combed cotton or polyester/cotton resembhng nainsook, only finer, with a lengthwise streak. (2) A rayon fabric decorated with dobby woven striped and jacquard florals. (3) A smooth, fine, woven fabric, lighter that challis and very similar to nun s veiling.

Beaded velvet n. Velvet with a cut-out pattern or a velvet pile effect, made on a Jacquard loom. This fabric is used primarily... 

Damask da-m9sk [ME damaske, ff. ML damascus, ff Damascus] (14c) n. A firm, glossy, Jacquard-patterned fabric that may be made from linen, cotton, rayon, silk, or a combination of these with various manufactured fibers. Similar to brocade, but flatter and reversible, damask is used for napkins, tablecloths, draperies, and upholstery. 

Faconne n. A broad term for fabrics with a fancy-type weave made on a Jacquard or dobby loom. 

Matelasse n. A soft, double or compound fancy-woven fabric with a quilted appearance. Heavier types are used as draperies and upholsteries. Crepe matelasse is used for dresses, wraps, and other apparel. Matelasse is usually woven on a Jacquard loom. 

Mock leno n. A combination of weaves having interlacings that tend to form the warp ends into groups (with empty spaces intervening) in the cloth, thereby giving an imitation of the open structure that is characteristic of leno fabrics. Mock leno fabrics are used for summer shirts, dresses, and other apparel, and as a shading medium in Jacquard designs. 

Terry cloth n. A cotton or cotton-blend fabric having uncut loops on one or both sides. Made on a dobby loom with a terry arrangement or on a Jacquard loom. It is used for toweling, beach robes, etc. 

Carrageenan is primarily used as a gelling agent and thickener in the food industry, as a clarifier to remove haze-causing proteins during the brewing of beer, as a toothpaste additive, as a thickener in shampoos and cosmetic creams, but also as a binder for water colors such as for Jacquard marbling on fabric or paper. 

Walters, 1938 Walters and Gatzke, 1954 Finken and Robinson, 1959) because it was possible to realize them on simple looms. Much more sophisticated looms with electronic control were required for the realization of the weft interlock 3D weaving concept. For example, the use of a programmable Jacquard machine is implied in the patent of Miller et al. (1990). In the next two subsections, we briefly review each of these fabric manufacturing processes. 

Another type of shell three-dimensional woven textile was suggested in 1929. A combination of Jacquard shed formation and shuttle weft insertion creates a flat woven fabric with areas of double and single layers (Lippert, 1929). Depending on the coti-tour of the double-layer area, this part of fabric can be cut and unfolded after weaving, for example, to become a hat geometry (Figure 4.4). 

Using a Jacquard head instead a dobby for shedding opens the possibility to create user-defined curved contours of hollow zones. Curved tubes, fittings having other than 90° angles between the intersecting tubes, helmet and hat shells, as well as similar types of shapes can be created with this method. One of the most spectacular applications is a reinforcement fabric of missile noses (Rothe and Wiedemann, 1963). 

The shedding mechanism is one of the primary motions of a loom. A Jacquard shedding mechanism is used for weaving 3D preforms because the individual warp fibers are controlled independently by Jacquard harness cords. A 3D fabric and preforms can be woven on a 2D conventional rapier loom, but there is a fabric thickness limitation when using any conventional 2D loom. 

There are multiple stations in a narrow fabric shuttle loom. That means the same structure in multiple stations or different structures can be woven on the same loom depending on the capacity of the Jacquard hooks and the total picks per inch in the structure. It is difficult to produce 3D and complex shapes using carbon and brittle fibers on a needle loom. A narrow fabric needle loom (Hans Walter Kipp, 1989) can also be used to produce some 3D preforms. A typical narrow fabric needle loom is shown in Figure 9.58. The selvedge on the side of filling insertion needle is a true...
