Knitted fabrics represent a class of architected materials whose macroscopic mechanical properties arise from the interplay of yarn mechanics and stitch topology. Unlike traditional woven textiles, ...
In 2018, Polartec introduced the Power Air platform as the first fabric technology engineered to reduce microfiber shedding. It’s part of its mission to EcoEngineer sustainable performance fabrics. By ...
The natural functions of wool fiber, such as natural air permeability, dryness of skin contact, have advantages in the development of sports fabric. So far, the development of unidirectional moisture ...
School of Physics Associate Professor Elisabetta Matsumoto is unearthing the secrets of the centuries-old practice of knitting through experiments, models, and simulations. Her goal? Leveraging ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Textile engineering has long been a cornerstone of human innovation, from ancient weaving techniques to modern fabric production. However, the integration of textiles with ...
Researchers are using traditional kitting and braiding fabrication techniques to produce electrically conducting, wearable fabrics capable of sensing a wide range of human movement. The ability to ...
This fundamental research aims to understand and control the self-folding behavior of weft knit textiles to harness this inherent property of the knot structure for development of novel engineered ...
