Characterisation of fibre lengths and breakage behaviour of cotton fly in knitting process [PDF]
Tekstilec, 2018 In this research work, the fibre fly from different zones in the knitting process, such as the cone unwinding, guide and the knitting zones, were collected and characterised. The results show that in the cone unwinding zone were formed 18% of shortest (i.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A custom shape memory polymer material selection process relates quantitative application criteria (e.g., compression garment yarns) to material characterization information. The selected materials are manufactured into yarn geometries, which expand the design space by creating structural stress‐strain profiles beyond the nominal material stress‐strain

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.
