“…The reasons for choosing fundamental rib-knit structures were their high elasticity in width and a higher dimensional stability than single jersey fabrics. 1 In addition, rib structures exhibit a tendency to curl, which decreases when decreasing the knit repeat. 1 Further, 1 × 1 rib knitted fabrics are highly elastic in the crosswise direction and are suitable for complete garments or for garment elements such as sleeves and neck bands, sweater waistbands, and different trims for use with other knit structures or woven fabrics.…”

“…Knitted fabrics have a loose structure, high extensibility, and formability, which are all excellent comfort properties for clothing. 1,2 Antistatic knitted textiles are also well suited for wearable e-textile applications due to their high flexibility and comfort. 3 Knitted fabrics are widely used in composites engineering as well.…”

Different fiber blends, knit patterns, and treatments may be applied to increase the functionality and comfort of knitted fabrics. In this research, the physical properties and bending stiffness of 1 × 1 rib and half-milano rib fabrics with four fiber blends (90% cotton/10% antistatic PET, 80% cotton/20% antistatic PET, 70% cotton/30% antistatic PET, and 65% cotton/35% antistatic PET) applied to each knit pattern were studied. The effect of fabric direction (course and wale), technical side (face side and back side), and treatment (dying, softening with Aquasoft® SI hydrophilic softener, and Polygiene VO-600 antibacterial finish) on the physical characteristics and bending stiffness of the fabrics was evaluated. The results revealed that dyeing and softening increased the fabric area density and both wale and course densities and decreased fabric thicknesses compared to the control fabrics. The antibacterial finish applied to the softened samples did not change the physical properties. Bending stiffness in the course direction was lower than in the wale direction, and it was higher for technical face samples than for technical back ones. The 1 × 1 rib knitted fabrics showed lower stiffness than the half-milano rib fabrics. Treatment of the investigated fabrics decreased bending stiffness for both treatment sample groups compared to the control group.

“…Figure 3 b–d show the several variations of fabric produced in this research, all of these variations were used in a 1 × 1 rib-stitch knit due to its structural dimension stability and extensive shrinkage in width [ 24 ]. To demonstrate the thermal signature reduction ability of the recycled polycarbonate fibre, we prepared three variations of polycarbonate composition in knitted fabric by inserting recycled polycarbonate fibres in polyacrylic knitted fabric.…”

Fabrication of Recycled Polycarbonate Fibre for Thermal Signature Reduction in Camouflage Textiles

Thermal signature reduction in camouflage textiles is a vital requirement to protect soldiers from detection by thermal imaging equipment in low-light conditions. Thermal signature reduction can be achieved by decreasing the surface temperature of the subject by using a low thermally conductive material, such as polycarbonate, which contains bisphenol A. Polycarbonate is a hard type of plastic that generally ends up in dumps and landfills. Accordingly, there is a large amount of polycarbonate waste that needs to be managed to reduce its drawbacks to the environment. Polycarbonate waste has great potential to be used as a material for recycled fibre by the melt spinning method. In this research, polycarbonate roofing-sheet waste was extruded using a 2 mm diameter of spinnerette and a 14 mm barrel diameter in a 265 °C temperature process by using a lab-scale melt spinning machine at various plunger and take-up speeds. The fibres were then inserted into 1 × 1 rib-stitch knitted fabric made by Nm 15 polyacrylic commercial yarns, which were manufactured by a flat knitting machine. The results showed that applying recycled polycarbonate fibre as a fibre insertion in polyacrylate knitted fabric reduced the emitted infrared and thermal signature of the fabric.

“…Basic 1x1 rib (R) and half-Milano rib (M) knit patterns were chosen to develop knitted fabrics due to their excellent width and dimensional stability compared to single-jersey textiles. 40 1x1 rib knitted fabrics are highly elastic in the cross-sectional direction and can be used for all garments or only their sleeves and neck bands, sweater waistbands, etc., together with other knitted structures or woven fabrics. The imbalanced structure of half-Milano rib knitted textiles is ideal for producing sweaters.…”

This research fills in the missing knowledge on the moisture management and air permeability of knitted fabrics developed using mixed cotton/antistatic polyester yarns with both antibacterial and antistatic behavior to enhance their functionality. The effect of the knit pattern, technical side, percentage of fiber mixture and treatment on water absorption capacity and time, relative water vapor permeability and resistance, and air permeability of developed fabrics was investigated. The 1x1 rib knit and half-Milano rib knit patterns were applied in each 4 percentages of cotton and antistatic polyester and 3 types of finishing to prepare 24 fabrics. The water absorption capacity for 1x1 rib knit fabrics was in the range of 182–231% and 162–237% for the half-Milano knitted fabric with the ∼20% increase when increasing the percentage of antistatic polyester or applying the treatment. The water absorption time depended on the pattern, the fabric treatment, and the percentage of the fiber mixture. The applied antibacterial treatment significantly prolonged the water absorption time of most of the dyed and softened samples. The 1x1 rib knitted fabrics showed significantly higher water vapor and air permeability than the half-Milano rib knitted fabrics. The relative water vapor and air permeability of the treated samples increased significantly with an increasing percentage of polyester. Research results are of great practical value when designing new textiles and simulating mathematically their comfort behavior when choosing them for a particular garment.
