Knitted fabrics opening

The singeing machine for circular knit fabric differs from the well-known singeing machine for woven fabrics only in guiding and transport of the fabric. The real problem consists in properly opening out the tubular fabric. The distance between burner and fabric must be exactly the same at every point. The burner must be so designed that there is an uniform flame intensity over the entire tube circumfer-...

Mercerization improves dimensional stability of cotton woven fabrics [63]. When knitted fabrics are compared with respect to their relative openness, temperature increases can be said to improve mercerization because when the goods are bleached and then mercerized, the fabric becomes more dense. However, when unbleached fabrics are mercerized, the fabrics become more open [64]. Mercerization also gives moderate improvement in crease recovery of cotton fabrics [65] as well as some protection against the decrease in tensile strength caused by easy-care finishing. 

Knitted fabrics and lace cannot be dyed successfully in open width and must be treated in a winch. This is not an ideal machine because exposure to air and turbulence cause excessive oxidation of the leuco compound... 

Drop stitch n. (1) An open design made in knitting by removing some of the needles at set intervals. (2) A defect in knit fabric.

A garment that conforms smoothly to an individual s body shape and moves effortlessly with every move one makes is possible using seamless technology with Tactel and Lycra yarns. The alternate needle selection knitting makes fabric open and less elastic, particularly in the welt and the cuff areas. In this context, elastic, hexible, and durable yams such as wool are recommended. In the current global scenario wool such as cashmere, and angora, and manufactured hbre such as acrylic, are used to create seamless outerwear. Viscose and polyamide with Lycra or other elastomerics are also among the other choices.

A spacer fabric is an interesting knitted stmcture, which has a great potential as a tissue engineering scaffold. Spacer fabrics have two separate independently knitted fabric faces that are connected by a third distinct spacer yarn (Fig. 3.9). This forms a three-dimensional (3D) fabric stmcture having good breathability and resilience. The open pores and the 3D stmcture facilitate cell attachment, proliferation, and migration. 

Zeng et al. (2013) have demonstrated a fibre nanogenerator made from a PVDF-NaNbOs nanofibre non-woven web, which is capable of generating a peak open-circuit voltage of 3.4 V and a peak current of 4.4 pA in a cyclic compression test. The non-woven web was sandwiched between elastic-conducting knitted fabrics made from segmented polyurethane yams wrapped with silver-coated polyamide multifilament yams. The whole device was packaged between layers of poly dime thy Isi-loxane to enhance its mechanical robustness.
