“…The XRD patterns and diffractograms of the nonwoven fabric do not change with the amount of sericin. The diffraction peak at 9.5° was attributed to α-helix and β-sheet crystallites of wool keratin, and the peak at 19.8° was ascribed to β-sheet crystallites of wool keratin [16,32,33]. At the same time, a broad XRD peak at 19.2°, attributed to β-sheet crystallites, has been previously reported for sericin [34].…”

Recently, nonwoven fabrics from natural silk have attracted considerable attention for biomedical and cosmetic applications because of their good mechanical properties and cytocompatibility. Although these fabrics can be easily fabricated using the binding character of sericin, the high cost of silk material may restrict its industrial use in certain areas. In this study, sericin was added as a binder to a cheaper material (wool) to prepare wool-based nonwoven fabrics and investigate the effect of the amount of sericin added on the structural characteristics and properties of the wool nonwoven fabric. It was found using SEM that sericin coated the surface of wool fibers and filled the space between them. With an increase in sericin addition, the porosity, moisture regain, and the contact angle of the sericin-coated wool nonwoven fabric decreased. The maximum stress and initial Young’s modulus of the nonwoven fabric increased with the increase in sericin amount up to 32.5%, and decreased with a further increase in the amount of sericin. Elongation at the end steadily decreased with the increase in sericin addition. All of the nonwoven fabrics showed good cytocompatibility, which increased with the amount of sericin added. These results indicate that sericin-coated wool-based nonwoven fabrics may be successfully prepared by adding sericin to wool fibers, and that the properties of these fabrics may be diversely controlled by altering the amount of sericin added, making them promising candidates for biomedical and cosmetic applications.

“…Although some minor changes in size may occur in subsequent washes, they are usually less noticeable than those observed during the first two washes. Nevertheless, as mentioned in reference, 46 the dimensional stability of knitted wool fabrics may worsen over time, causing a slight increase in shrinkage with each washing cycle. It is worth noting that the primary direction of shrinkage in knitted fabrics is the length direction.…”

“…In addition, it is important to note that fabric shrinkage primarily occurs in the length direction. 46 The current research focuses on the impact of the rib set-out repeat variants and single miss stitches on the fabric performance of fabrics made from blended wool yarn. It aims to fill the gaps in knowledge and enhance our understanding of fabric properties.…”

This study investigated the effect of the rib set-out repeat and single miss stitches on the structural properties and dimensional stability of double weft knitted fabrics compared with half Milano rib. Nine variations of double weft knitted fabrics were produced, each with a different number of inactive needles at the width repeat Rb. The fabrics were tested after 10 days of dry relaxation and five washings. The fabric’s structural repeat at the height Rh consisted of a combination of two courses, rib and plain (variant 1), and rib set-out and single with miss (float) stitch, with stitch repeats varying at the width Rb (for variants 2–10). The miss stitch was made on the technical back of the knitted fabrics, and the number of inactive needles during the production of the single and double stitches ranged from 1 to 3. The fabrics were manufactured using a 10-gauge flat bed-knitting machine from blended wool/PAN (60% wool, 40% PAN) 25×2tex×2 yarn. The results demonstrated that the width repeat of miss knit stitches Rb (different numbers of knit and miss loop stitches) plays a crucial role in determining the dimensional stability and structural properties of double knitted fabrics. The number of washing cycles did not significantly impact the structural properties (around ±5%). The research results demonstrated shrinkage in the length and width directions, specifically after the first two washing cycles. The rib set-out repeat and single miss stitches affect dimensional changes in both directions: an increase in the number of inactive needles increases shrinkage in the length and decreases shrinkage in the width direction. Overall, this study highlights the importance of the number and placement of miss stitches during the design process of double weft knitted fabrics, particularly when aiming to achieve specific structural and dimensional properties.

“…Perhaps less well-known is the impact of drying in a domestic dryer on fibers. Wei et al (2017) evaluated the performance degradation of a wool fabric in a domestic dryer evaluating pilling and dimensional stability. Overall, the complexity and severity of damage increased with drying cycles, where pilling, dimensional shrinkage, splits, and cuts were observed.…”

Forensic science has long been used in criminal investigations and the justice system. The standards applied to contemporary forensic practice have changed dramatically in the past decade. Presented here is a modern-day review of textile damage science in the context of these changing standards, and how they have challenged the presentation of scientific evidence. The prevalence of textile damage examinations is fluctuating in the current forensic environment. Some laboratories are conducting more examinations than ever, and other laboratories are no longer able to conduct examinations due to limitations in resourcing or case numbers. This dynamic landscape will no doubt continue as the occurrence of crime fluctuates throughout and beyond the pandemic affecting the world.
