Mon, 03 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Drying rate and time are two important components for drying a fabric to evaluate the quick dry property. This study evaluated the quick dry properties of summer men’s sportswear T-shits of different brands (Nike, Adidas, Laishilong and Columbia) by studying the drying rate. It was found that all the samples showed satisfactory drying rate. The fabrics of Adidas showed the highest drying rate, only 45 minutes required for drying, followed by Laishilong samples, while the poorest drying properties was seen in Columbia T-shirts.

Denim is widely used by every age of people all over the world. As the use of denim is increasing progressively, till now the handle properties of denim fabric not reported at significant level. In the present study, five commercial denim fabric samples were used. Denim samples, weighing from 8.5oz/sq.yds to 14.5 oz/sq.yds, were processed as per standard commercial procedure for denim finishing. These finished denim samples were tested on Kawabata Evaluation System (KES) for low stress mechanical properties. The results of KES values are used for calculation of Total Hand Value (THV) using equation for summer suit. The obtained result for THV using equation for summer suit for denim samples is in the range from 1.62 to 3.30.These values of low stress mechanical properties values given by KES, can be used to engineer the denim fabric for bottom wear.

Q-max Test Analysis of Summer Cooling Towels

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0700

This study evaluated the cooling properties of summer cooling towels of different brands by Q-max analysis. It was found all the samples could provide a cooling effect at first contact after being wetted. The samples of Perfect Fitness showed the highest cooling effect followed by the N-rit samples, whereas Street samples had the poorest cooling effect. The reason may be explained by the yarn density, fabric structure and thickness.

This qualitative research aimed to study demand factors of using natural dyes for SMEs/OTOP and Start-Up entrepreneurs. The data were collected from survey, i.e. demand, development guidelines and problems of using natural dyes including problems from natural dye material sourcing. The subjects of this research were SMEs/OTOP and Start-Up entrepreneurs that used natural dyes. The research tool was an interview. The interview data were analyzed by using program in order to obtain the important topic for development and improvement of natural dye properties to reach user’s requirements. Moreover, the feature benefits of natural dye applications were concerned. The interview results indicated that the demands factors, i.e. limited factors of natural dye using, required properties of natural dyes and also development guidelines of dyes for entrepreneurs maximum benefits.

Environmental performance of product is one type of environmental knowledge, therefore it would affect the consumers’ green purchasing intention. Accurate and verifiable eco-labels provided environmentally conscious consumers environmental information, which is beneficial for green consumption. In this study, we conducted survey on the relationship between environmental performance of fashion product and purchase intention. The target group was select with age ranged from 18-28. The survey results indicated that there is a direct relationship between environmental performance of products and purchase intention in fashion area.

IR and UV Protective Function of Woven Fabrics

Polona Dobnik Dubrovski — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0700

Nowadays, it is well known that exposure to ultraviolet radiation can have harmful effects. These effects include mainly sunburn (erythema) and tanning (pigment darkening), as well as premature aging of the skin, suppression of the immune system, damage to the eyes, and skin cancer. Currently, between 2 and 3 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer and 132 000 cases of melanoma skin cancer occur globally each year. Fabric is the most basic and one of the best means of sun protection, however not all fabrics offer sufficient UV protection. In hot weather conditions, the use of UV-resistant materials is not enough. At the same time, a thermophysiological wear comfort is also desired, so clothing should be made from fabrics that protect the body against penetration and absorption of infra-red radiation. The proposed paper describes the influence of fabric constructional parameters on IR and UV radiation transmittance.
