Analysis of Physical & Chemical Properties of Cotton- Jute Blended Denim After a Sustainable (Industrial Stone Enzyme) Wash

Washing is one of the most important finishing treatments applied on apparels that have great usage to create special outlooks and improving the fashion. Technologically denim washing is the most important fashion element for clothing industry. The aim of this paper is to determine the effects of industrial stone enzyme wash on cotton-jute blended denim fabric. For this investigation, blended denim (75% cotton & 25% jute of total weight of fabric with twill 3/1 weave construction) leg panels were chosen. The selected denim fabric has been processed by stone enzyme wash, in order to evaluate the washing effects on denim leg panel, changes of fabric specification (ends/inch, picks/inch), fabric tensile strength, GSM, shrinkage, color fastness and rubbing test results has been determined after enzyme wash. Then pH is measured, and SEM test done to check the microscopic changes on the fabric surface.

In the modern world, the use of denim has spread all over the world. Using blended denim may open up a whole new sector in the readymade garments department. After making garments from solid color dyes or pigment printed fabric, the garments are washed. By washing, color & outlook of the garments are modified. As a result, new outlook and appearance is produced in the garments, which is not possible in any other method. Moreover, due to washing, starch materials present in the garment are removed, as a result washed garments could be worn right after purchasing from the store. Denim made from Jute and cotton blend yarn is a relatively new process and by this project we hope to determine what the effect of enzyme wash is on blended denim fabric.

In this work, it is tested that how quality of the fabric is changed after going through Enzyme wash. As both cotton and jute are natural fibers and homegrown in our country, it would be a great asset for the country if it can be marketed and sold as a readymade garment. Denim is one of the world’s oldest fabric’s which is most commonly associated with jeans. Denim is very strong, stiff and hard-wearing fabrics [1]. Denim is twill weave fabric that uses colored warp and white weft yarn and used for jeans, work clothes and casual wear [2]. Denim wear has gained popularity all over the world. As a result, jeans wear is one the most prominent apparel items in the world [3]. The evolution of the denim market has led to the development of some unique and creative denim fabrics and opened new worlds of possibility for finishes [4].The birth of denim jeans is credited to the Bavarian-born businessman, Levi Strauss, who made his way to the Gold Rush in San Francisco nearly 150 years ago. Since then, the denim fabric has run the gamut from a basic work wear fabric to a fashion trend setter, it is one of the most fashionable items in the fashion and textile industry today and the original focus on durability and practicality has changed to fashion. Denim can provide the durability and different appearance effect for the garment when it is conducting the different denim garment, and most people wearing the denim garment. Deterioration in the denim fabric of the textile product is often important to the physical properties in deciding when the article has reached the end of it using life [5].

Saturated Fatty Acids Derivatives as Assistants Materials for Textile Processes

Image
  Abstract Many auxiliaries have been used in textile industries in dry or wet processes. One of the important based materials is fatty acids and its derivatives. The present work aims at preparing some textile auxiliaries based on saturated fatty acids. Six different materials were used to react with each fatty acid. Produced materials have been characterised using FT-IR, HLB and cloud point. Based on the HLB values, produced materials have been used as softeners or as O/W emulsifiers (printing paste). Treated fabrics with softeners show a very good physical and mechanical properties and printed fabrics with prepared pastes shows a good printing paste with good prints characteristics (colour strength and colour fastness).

Modern Fibers: A Human- Centered Technology

Image
Textile Science and Fashion Technology Clothing represents one of the most ancient forms of human expression and is a tool that an individual use to express his/her culture and social status in society. Since the dawn of civilization, humans have used fabrics to provide basic warmth and show aesthetics. People gradually added more patterns and styles, creating clothing out of different materials. Today, the U.S. fashion and apparel industry are a $12 billion business, with the average American family spending $1,700 on clothes annually (BLS Data 2018) [1]. The fiber sector of the clothing and textile industry has undergone substantial change in recent years, and the modern fibers have opened a whole new frontier for clothing products. Modern fibers, also known as smart fibers, are becoming a human-centered technology. The smart fabrics will have the capability to see, hear, and sense their surroundings and to respond to the external stimulus through an active control mechanis...

The Rain Maker

Opinion On the bottom floor of the Besse Library and across the Media Center is a room that either most people probably don’t pay attention to or always wonder what it contains. The room holds thousands of stories from all over the country, dating from over a century ago to the present day. These stories are not limited to paper and a bound cover but by thread and fabric. They all help create the Historic Costume Study Collection. Upon entering the cold room, you might feel overwhelmed. On the wall to the left are shelves that contain purses, hats, and muffs; on the right, there are shoes, gloves, and jewelry in cabinets and in repurposed library catalog card holders. Of course, you cannot overlook the mountain of garment boxes reaching up to the ceiling. The back wall has the fur and extensive wedding gown sections. Clothing racks are placed in messy rows that make maneuvering around difficult. The Historic Costume Study Collection has all you could ever need and want from fashion. Th...
