“…Temperature above glass transition temperature occurs thermal shrinkage due to the thermodynamically unstable state of the fibers; wales-wise (length) shrinkage decreases above 180°C, which indicates the influence of temperature during heat-setting of thermoplastic fiber. 61 That is why 100% polyester fabric shows less shrinkage, but when it blends with cotton fiber, it is possible to shrink the fabric, nevertheless not as much as pure cotton will. That is what happened in this experiment; in Figure S6 (in the supporting material), Fabric A contains 95% cotton with the highest shrinkage percentage, which is reduced gradually after increasing the polyester percentage during blending.…”

Denim-like knitted fabrics are getting popular for their several favorable properties, such as flexibility, comfort, and ease of manufacturing. This study aimed to manufacture knitted denim fabrics made from various blend ratios of cotton, polyester, and spandex fibers. Seven fabrics with a fiber blend ratio ranging from 95% cotton/5% spandex to 30% cotton/65% polyester/5% spandex were developed using a weft circular knitting machine. First, the twill effect of the knitted denim fabric was brought by following a cross terry knitting structure to produce each fabric sample of this study. After that, the fabric performance was analyzed by characterizations, such as areal density, pilling and abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, stretch, and recovery, tear strength, bursting strength, air permeability, vertical wicking, liquid absorbency capacity, and different colorfastness tests. The results showed that different cotton, polyester, and spandex fiber compositions did not significantly affect knitted denim fabrics’ weight per unit area, abrasion resistance, and different color fastness properties. However, the elongation and vertical wicking test data showed that the knitted denim fabrics with a higher cotton fiber ratio were better. However, the results from shrinkage, spirality, pilling, recovery, strength, air permeability, and liquid absorbency capacity tests revealed the benefits of having a higher polyester fiber ratio in the cotton/polyester/spandex blended knitted denim fabrics. One-way analysis of the variance test was also performed on the generated data of this study and reported in the respective section of the article.

“…Heat setting is a widely used technique in industrial textile production. It can be used to improve dimensional stability of knit garments, or to produce interesting textural effects (Haar 2011;Perera, Lanarolle, and Jayasundara 2019). Our technique expands the role and purpose of heat setting, applying a unique and precise process to achieve full shape customization for individual masks.…”

In this paper we outline a new workfl ow for textile customization through the design and fabrication of knit shape-changing masks that contain multi-material fi bers to create programmable transformation. We have created a process for producing standardized and scalable textile goods using a fl atbed industrial CNC knitting machine, which are then "tailored" to an individual's body measurements through a system of programmable textiles, custom multi-material fi ber, and robotic heat activation. Hybridizing the effi ciency of standardized textile production with unique geometric variation, the proposed strategy centers on the shape-change behavior of fi bers and precise knit structures to produce personalized textiles. This work focuses on the face mask as an example of a now-ubiquitous textile good that is often ill fi tting and yet can now be highly tailored to an individual's personal fi t and comfort. This paper outlines the materials, knit fabric development, mask design, digital workfl ow, and fabrication steps for producing truly customized masks for an individual's unique facial geometry.
