    Study Notes

    Textile Applications

    • Apparel textiles: clothing (everyday wear, fashion, activewear, undergarments), footwear (socks, linings, laces), accessories (scarves, ties, hats, gloves).
    • Home textiles: bedding (sheets, pillowcases, blankets), bath (towels, robes, mats), upholstery (sofa covers, cushions), window treatments (curtains, drapes), floor coverings (carpets, rugs), kitchen textiles (tablecloths, napkins), outdoor (patio furniture covers).
    • Technical textiles: medical (surgical gowns, bandages, implants), automotive (seat covers, airbags), construction (geotextiles, tarpaulins), agricultural (shade nets, crop covers), protective (fire-resistant clothing, bulletproof vests), sports (performance clothing, equipment covers).
    • Industrial textiles: filtration (air and water filters), transport (conveyor belts, safety belts), packaging (sacks, bags).
    • Smart textiles: wearable technology (clothing with sensors, temperature regulation), e-textiles (fabrics with embedded electronics).
    • Interior textiles: wall coverings (wallpapers), ceilings (acoustic panels), lamps and lighting (textile lampshades).
    • Environmental textiles: eco-friendly fabrics (organic cotton, recycled polyester), sustainable textiles (minimal environmental impact).
    • Military textiles: camouflage fabrics, ballistic protection (Kevlar vests), tent and shelter fabrics.
    • Transport textiles: aerospace (lightweight composites, insulation), marine (sails, boat covers).
    • Luxury textiles: high-end fashion (couture fabrics), luxury interiors (designer upholstery).

    Fibers: Natural and Man-Made

    • Natural fibers: plant-based (cotton, linen, hemp); animal-based (wool, silk, cashmere).
    • Man-made fibers: synthetic (polyester, nylon, acrylic); regenerated (rayon/viscose, lyocell/Tencel, modal, cupro). Regenerated fibers are chemically processed from natural materials like cellulose.

    Regenerated Fiber Properties

    • Advantages: comfort (softness, breathability), versatility (adaptability, wide range of uses), eco-friendliness (renewable sources, biodegradability), aesthetic appeal (drape, feel, dyeability).
    • Disadvantages: environmental concerns (chemical processing).

    Fiber Mechanical Properties

    • Tensile strength: maximum stress before breaking.
    • Elongation at break: amount of stretch before breaking.
    • Elastic modulus (Young's modulus): stiffness.
    • Initial modulus: initial stiffness.
    • Tenacity: ultimate tensile strength per unit linear density.
    • Stress-strain diagram: graphical representation of a material's response to applied stress, showing deformation under various stress levels. Shows stress (force per unit area) versus strain (deformation).

    Polymers and Fiber Surface

    • Polymers are long chains of repeating units called monomers.
    • Homopolymers: consist of a single type of monomer.
    • Copolymers: consist of two or more types of monomers.
