  CURRENT TRENDS IN FASHION TECHNOLOGY & TEXTILE ENGINEERING - JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Abstract Fabric can be made attractive by means of ornamentation and designing. Stripe is one means by which attractive fabric can be produced which added extra values of that product. This research was to investigate the effects of yarn counts, Knit structures and Stitch Lengths on the depth of stripes. All the samples were made with 100% cotton dyed yarns. The work was done in three sections. In the first section, using a stitch length 2.8mm, three Single Jersey Plain structures were produced using different yarn counts which were 30 Ne, 28 Ne, and 26 Ne. In the second section, Single Jersey Plain, Single Lacoste, Polo Pique, and Double Lacoste structures were produced with 26 Ne yarn at stitch length 2.8mm. In the final section, four Single Jersey Plain structures were produced by varying stitch length 2.70 mm, 2.80 mm, 2.90 mm and 3.0 mm using the same yarn count which was 30 Ne. After conditi...

  CURRENT TRENDS IN FASHION TECHNOLOGY & TEXTILE ENGINEERING - JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Abstract In the present investigation an attempt has been made to fabricate jute reinforced bagasse composites which was developed by layer by layer techniques of composite manufacturing methods. As it was known, previously ceramics and plastics materials have been more dominant in the world market. Due to the rapid growth of the applications of composite materials, they penetrate and conquer the new markets persistently. Nowadays, composites have become one of the most important engineering materials in various applications. This composite material has been made by using sugarcane bagasse as a filler, jute natural fiber as reinforcement material with PVA as matrix. The fabricated composite materials were characterized for its mechanical properties like tensile, bending and compression strength and compared with the existing wood chipboard. The test result obtained showed that the jute reinforced ...

CURRENT TRENDS IN FASHION TECHNOLOGY & TEXTILE ENGINEERING - JUNIPER PUBLISHERS   Abstract Tourism is one of the top priorities of the country as a source of national income, Therefore, the State seeks to promote the tourism sector and its infrastructure. This study assumed that the use of graphics treatments for tourism advertising through the textile furnishing of hotels in coastal cities enriches their visual identity. Also, the synchronized presentation of tourism Ads along with specifically designed textile furnishings can play an active role in confirming the hotel distinctive identity. This experimental study, which involved 150 coastal hotel guests, measured the effect of unified graphic treatments of tourism advertising of coastal hotels in addition to specifically designed textile furnishings and the impact of their synchronization on the guest perception of the visual individuality of the hotel. The study concluded that recruitment of graphic treatments of tourism ad...

CURRENT TRENDS IN FASHION TECHNOLOGY & TEXTILE ENGINEERING - JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Authored by  David M Lewis Abstract Bleached cotton fabrics have been dyed with Remazol (sulphatoethylsulphone (Dystar)), Procion MX (dichloro-s-triazine (Dystar)) and Procion HE (bis-monochloro-s-triazine (Dystar)) reactive dyes to yield suitable coloured backgrounds for subsequent reductive discharge ink-jet printing. Silk fabric has also been dyed with an acid dye to provide an alternative substrate for subsequent discharge printing. Suitable white discharge inks have been formulated using either Decrolin (zinc sulphoxylate formaldehyde (BASF)) or Rongalit C (sodium sulphoxylate formaldehyde (BASF)), whilst coloured illuminating inks have been formulated using either vat or solubilised vat dyes. Inks containing both a discharging agent and an illuminating colour have also been developed. A process has been developed in which the free aromatic amine groups present in the discharged areas of white ...
