A stage-wise conversion factor approach for predicting fabric width and mass per unit area in cotton/elastane single lacoste knitted fabrics

Next Materials
The precise control of the width and mass per unit area (GSM, g/m²) is of paramount importance in an industrial production environment of cotton/elastane knitted fabrics owing to the dimensional variability that elastane introduces. This work describes a

Impact of Textile Architecture on the Electromechanical Behavior of Conductive Carbon: Silicone Composite Strain Sensors

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
A stretchable carbon composite is integrated by stencil printing onto two different types of textile, with different yarn morphologies. The impact of the knit structure and coating direction on the performance of the sensor composite is evaluated and used to derive a model estimating nominal resistance at a given strain near the percolation threshold ...

Highly stretchable, durable, and reversibly thermochromic wrapped yarns induced by Joule heating: With an emphasis on parametric study of elastane drafts

e-Polymers
Highly stretchable thermochromic wrapped yarns, which employ elastane filament (EF) as core, stainless steel wire, and thermochromic polyester filament as the first and second winding, was prepared, and the effect of elastane draft upon yarn properties ...

Hybrid Finite Element Model for Predicting the Interface Pressure of Medical Compression Stockings

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 42, Issue 2, February 2026.
The proposed hybrid finite element model for predicting the interface pressure of medical compression stockings considers local fabric architecture and individual mechanical contributions of yarn systems. FE simulations on ankle and calf zones reproduce the therapeutic pressure gradient and match PicoPress sensor data within 10%–20% of error and ...

Smooth Muscle Mechanosensitivity Generates and Maintains Pressure Gradients Across the Intestine

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Mechanosensitivity of the smooth muscle induces a positive‐feedback loop that spontaneously generates pressure gradients across gut segments and stabilizes initially applied pressure gradients. It can act jointly or compete with the pressure gradient induced by directional peristaltic waves.

Processing–Property Relationships in Melt Processing of Polyamide–Elastane Textile Blends

AppliedChem
The recycling of polyamide 6 (PA) and elastane (EL) from post-consumer textiles is increasingly relevant for sustainable materials development. This study investigates blends obtained from a commercial PA fabric containing 16% EL, processed via extrusion

Interface Pressure‐Friction Mechanics of Neonatal Mattress‐Textile Combinations

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In neonatal and infant care, the contact of skin with mattress and textile covers is particularly critical for preventing soft tissue damage due to their fragile skin. Textile covers can modify biomechanical load transfer by jointly affecting compression and shear at the skin interface. This study quantified body weight‐dependent interface pressure and
