“…To study the influence of different cloth parameters of roughness, a new test bench was developed. This study examined the roughness of woven fabric with different compositions and weft counts, and used three textile fibers (100% cotton, 50/50 cotton/polyester blend, 100% polyester) with three weft counts (11,17,22). The cloth was coated with two substances of printing (dispersive and reactive) with different emport rates from 40 to 140% and dried at ambient temperature (25°C) and at industrial process (110°C) for 2 minutes.…”

“…parameters and chemical treatments on the variation in its surface roughness. The Textile Surface Tester TST (Figure1) developed byMaâtoug et al (2008) andMaâtoug et al (2011b) was used in all the experiments. This test bench measurement was based on the principle of metallic surface roughness evaluation, and must satisfy a principle function (PF) and five complementary functions (CF).…”

Consumers use their sense of touch instinctively to evaluate a garment's quality and faculty for specific use. The roughness of textiles is an important parameter for customers' choice of garments. This work focused on surface roughness of woven fabrics. A Textile Surface Tester (TST) was used in this study. For surface height variation (SHV) characterization, the standard roughness parameters described in the ISO 4287 was frequently used. During this analysis, we examined the effect of different parameters of manufacturing and finishing samples on the variation in surface roughness. It was found that the fabric type had an important effect on surface roughness as well as the weft count of woven samples, while chemicals treatments, as coating with different commercial products via ink-jet printing and drying processes, did not affect this parameter.

“…The radial extension of the prosthetic tubes was monitored by using the patented TST measuring chain 38 originally dedicated to evaluate the surface roughness parameters of textile fabrics. 39 At the test beginning, an inductive sensor with mobile magnetic core is put in contact with the midpoint of the specimen wall upper boundary ( Figure 4) and the pulsatile inflation of the conduit animates the sensor feeler in vertical vibrations.…”

For more than sixty years, textile vascular grafts have saved millions human lives, but achieving attributes of a native artery still remains a challenge, especially in terms of parietal distensibility, commonly called compliance, necessary to transform intermittent blood ejection into steady and continuous flows. The graft compliance is, in part, related to the fabric contexture and the kind of yarns used in relation with the prosthetic finishing treatments. The objective of the present paper was to evaluate the mechanical behavior of prosthetic fabrics, made with various polyester multifilament yarns, subjected to fatigue stresses under realistic test conditions performed in vitro. For this purpose, cyclic tests have been applied to prosthetic tubes by using both mechanical testing machine and test bench specially developed for simulating the mechanical aging induced by water pressure on the prosthetic wall. This instrument allows the injection of pulsatile water adjustable in frequency and pressure in vascular grafts previously sealed by a rubber bladder while simultaneously monitoring the prosthesis wall distention by a high resolution displacement transducer linked to data acquisition software. Compliance curves thus made it possible to identify the highdistensibility prosthetic structures whose cyclic dilation could be maintained almost stable throughout the fatigue tests.

The article examines the influence of the surface properties of knitted fabrics from cotton and wool of various knitted structures on the light fastness of their colours. The surface properties of knitted fabrics of single plain, 1×1 rib and French piqué knitted structures were evaluated by determining their roughness using a non-contact optical method for processing digital images of the knitted fabric’s surface. The roughness profiles of the corresponding knitted fabric samples were obtained, and the main indicators of surface roughness were calculated: the profile height at ten points Rz and the arithmetic mean profile deviation Ra . Cotton knitted fabrics were dyed with the Bezaktiv Cosmos dye brand, which are bifunctional reactive dyes with monochlorotriazine / vinyl sulfone active groups, and wool knitted fabrics were dyed with acid dyes. The light fastness of the samples was evaluated after exposure to the Light Fastness Tester (Mercury-Tungsten Lamp) RF 1201 BS (REFOND) with a PCE-TCR 200 colorimeter. Colour measurements were averaged for each sample. Total colour difference (dE) was measured on the dyed cotton knitted fabrics samples after light exposure. According to the obtained roughness profiles of cotton and wool knitted fabrics, it can be concluded that the studied knitted fabrics are characterized by different roughness, which depends on their knitted structures. At the same time, a relationship was found between an increase in the roughness of knitted fabrics and the photodestruction of colours by reactive and acid dyes on cotton and wool knitted fabrics, respectively. The results show that the surface structure of knitted fabrics, that is the knitted structure, impacts the process of colour photodestruction and that the amount of dye that has undergone photodestruction increases with the increasing surface roughness of the knitted fabric.
