“…14 All of the data stayed within the shrinkage limit (±5%) for both lengthwise and widthwise shrinkage, probably because of its construction and heavy GSM. 15 Therefore, it was concluded that the effect of both lengthwise and widthwise shrinkage while changing the stitch length of base yarn, binding yarn, and fleecy yarn was within the acceptable limit.…”

The market demand for three-thread fleece fabric is increasing steadily due to its soft and bulky texture. Garments made from knitted fleece fabric, such as sweaters and jackets, are generally used for outdoor wear, especially in the winter season because of their warmth, moisture, and absorption properties. However, the elastic properties of three-thread fleece fabric is reduced significantly after the raising operation. This study aimed to increase the elastic recovery of three-thread fabric by changing the stitch length during the manufacturing process in industrial-scale production. The results showed that by varying the stitch length, the elastic recovery was improved by around 9%. Hence, the developed method can be used in textile knitting industries to improve the elastic recovery of fleece fabric.

“…The 2D resin (Dimethylol dihydroxy ethylene urea, DMDHEU) is a typical resin of the nitrogen hydroxymethyl compound with low molecular weight, which has excellent properties in low formaldehyde emission, anti-wrinkle and anti-shrink mechanical properties, and stability, and is used to replace formaldehyde resin in the cotton fiber textile industry and wood modification [29][30][31][32][33]. Some researchers have carried out wood modification studies using 2D resin; the self-polymerization and cross-linking reaction of the 2D resin and wood compounds occurred within the cell wall, resulting in a permanent bulking of the cell wall and leading to a reduction in the swelling and shrinkage properties, thus with the dimensional stability considerably increased.…”

Plasma treatment was conducted to modify the outer-and inner-layer surfaces of bamboo in a multi-factor experiment, where the surface contact angles and surface energy were measured, followed by investigation on the surface microstructure and functional groups using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The result showed that when the power of the gliding arc plasma treatment was 1000 W while the bamboo surface was 3 cm away from the nozzle of the plasma thrower in the plasma flame, the contact angles of the outer-and inner-layer surfaces decreased, whereas the surface energy increased as a function of the treatment time. The 40 s treatment on the outer-layer surface caused the contact angle to reach 40 • , and the surface energy accomplished a value of 45 J. Likewise, when the inner-layer surface was exposed for 30 s treatment, its contact angle attained a value of 15 • , while the surface energy elevated to 60 J. Surface assessment with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated etched microstructures of outer-and inner-layer surfaces of the bamboo culm after the treatment with gliding arc plasma. Moreover, the soaking test performed on the surfaces signified that 2D resin could have adhered more easily to outer-and inner-layer surfaces, which was considered a result of the greater uniformity and smoothness acquired after the treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis revealed that hydrophilic groups (O-CO-N, -NO 2− ,-NO 3− , C-O-C, C-O-H and O-CO-OH, C-O-C = O) emerged on outer-and inner-layer surfaces of bamboo culms after being treated by gliding arc plasma, which enhanced the interaction of bamboo culms with applied protective coating resins.

“…Fabric with improved dimensional stability can also be achieved by using elastomeric yarns. However, the product does not remain cost efficient due to high price elastane and additional heat setting process (Safdar et al, 2014;Senthilkumar, 2012). Shrinkage control with a mechanical compactor is also a successful application but it gives limited shrinkage control, which may not last after 4-5 washes (Mikuèionienë and Laureckienë, 2009).…”
