  CURRENT TRENDS IN FASHION TECHNOLOGY & TEXTILE ENGINEERING - JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Abstract The article reviews the functional aspects of terry towels based on past research works. Different types of terry fabrics have been studied for effect of washing on some properties. Towels have been subjected to different washing cycles. After each cycle, the rate of water absorption, total amount of water absorbed, surface and compression characteristics have been assessed by gravimetric absorbency testing system, image analysis methods, and KES-FB 3 system respectively. Different theories and mechanisms of water absorption have been reviewed along with the key factors to improve the water absorption. Both dynamic and static water absorbency along with the initial time lag immerse are found to be the equally important attributes of the water absorbency performance of terry fabrics. The influence of some structural characteristics of terry fabrics on the rate of sorption have been studied. Ke

  CURRENT TRENDS IN FASHION TECHNOLOGY & TEXTILE ENGINEERING - JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Authored by  Anowar Hossain, Abstract Different engineering setting of Draft Change Pinion like 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 were studied for production of cotton carded sliver and polyester carded sliver in a specific setting of carding machine to observe the card sliver variation, card sliver evenness, card sliver neps as well as sliver irregularity considering the geometrical variation of sliver surface. Weight fluctuation of 10 different samples were studied for different engineering setting of Draft Change Pinion (DCP) like 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and samples of DCP 17 was observed more homogeneous than other samples studied in this experiment both for cotton and polyester carded sample under observation of weight variation of 10 different carded sample. The overall weight variation in cotton and polyester sliver/6yds is considered in general as DCP-13 Keywords:  Cotton carded sliver; Polyester carded sliver; D
