Textile Fibre

This chapter presents an overview of textile-related materials. You will explore the history and vocabulary of textiles while learning about the various types of textile fibres and fabrics through lectures taught by professionals. You will examine the various types of materials used in the production of textiles and related terminology and textile history.

This chapter covers the types and properties of smart textiles, textile fibres, and the entire list below:

• Utilising nanotechnology in textile production. 
• Understanding the many types of textile fabric.
• Comparing modern and ancient fabric textiles.
• The history of woven textiles and terminologies.
• Textile design for sustainability and fashion.

Textile Testing & Instruments

Testing textiles involves evaluating the quality and compatibility of raw materials and material selection. It is a crucial component of textile manufacturing, distribution, and consumption. Testing is the process of determining the qualities of various types of substances. An important aspect of the textile industry is testing. During textile testing, flaws in machinery and materials can be quickly identified. In addition, textile testing must ensure compliance with evolving government safety requirements and meet the rising demand for high-quality textiles and apparel among consumers. Proper testing can be conducted if a testing laboratory has the necessary equipment.

Textile testing enables businesses, consumer groups, and the government to ensure that textiles are safe and of high quality, and the client receives value for their money. Textile items are manufactured globally and distributed to global markets. Testing ensures that dangerous or unlawful substances do not escape through regulatory gaps. This chapter will also cover the many types of textile testing equipment utilised within the textile industry.

Yarn Structure

We utilise items created using textile yarn every day. Textile yarn is a thread of fibres or filaments, either natural or manufactured. Fibre is a short strand of hair. Natural fibres such as wool from sheep, cotton and linen from plants, and silk from silkworms can be spun into textile yarn. It can also be fabricated from synthetic or man-made fibres, including nylon, acrylic, and polyester. In this chapter, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the yarn structure and the classifications of Textile Yarn.

The Chemical Treatment of Textiles

In this chapter, students will learn about the preparation phase of textile materials, which is a crucial step in the manufacturing process. It is quite difficult to obtain the desired outcome in the dyeing, printing, and finishing processes without a preparation phase. After studying this chapter, students will be familiar with and able to comprehend industry terms, impurities contained in natural and synthetic fibres (Raw Cotton, Wool, Silk, Polyester, Nylon, and Acrylic), and their cost-effective removal.

This subject also covers Chemical Treatment, Chemical Processes, and Process Flowcharts for Cotton, Wool, Silk, and Synthetic Fibres, as well as Basic Knowledge of Sizing, Desizing, Scouring, and Bleaching.

Students will be able to know the steps involved in getting the ideal fabric quality once they have mastered this vocabulary.

Textile Fabrication

The production of textiles is a significant industry. It relies heavily on transforming fibre into yarn and then yarn into fabric. In this chapter, you’ll learn how these are then coloured or printed and woven into cloth, ultimately transformed into apparel, home furnishings, upholstery, and other industrial products. Fabric choosing for a particular style or brand of clothing. The same style is frequently manufactured in multiple fabrics. In the textile and clothing sector, product quality is determined by the quality and standard of fibres, fabric construction, yarns, colour fastness, patterns, and finished products. Quality control in garment production, pre-sales and after-sales service, delivery, pricing, etc., is crucial for any garment manufacturer, trader, or exporter.

Computer Applications in the Textile Industries

The current era is the computerisation era. Every industry benefits from the automation and convenience of use provided by computer science. All of this has been grossly neglected by the textile industry, which is a major source of income for a country. The textile industry focuses primarily on designing and producing yarn, fabric, and apparel. The computer's application areas can be broadly categorised as engineering, business, scientific, and recreational. Computers are extensively employed in engineering applications to assist the designing and manufacturing industries in managing their processes and information systems. The computer's function in manufacturing can be broadly divided into two categories: design and process control.

The introduction of the computer and its applications has transformed manufacturing practices in the textile sector. Product creation is more inventive than ever before. In addition, the amount of time required to generate a concept and then convert it into a final product has drastically decreased. There are several other benefits that manufacturing facilities enjoy. These are the topics covered in this section.

Processing at Textile Laboratory

Filtration, bolting cloths for sifting and screening, press covers and nets for segregating lots during washing are all examples of processing fabrics used by various manufacturers. In this section, you’ll learn all about this in detail.

Construction & Design of Fabric

Materials and procedures used in the manufacturing of fabric dictate the features of the finished product, which is made of yarns and fibres. Weaving or knitting are the most common methods of interlacing used to make fabrics today. Printing, weaving, tracing embroidery, and colour-detailing are some of the techniques used in textile design to create the final product. Prototypes and virtual samples are developed after the procedure is conceptualised. Get to know more about those in this section.

Information Technology in the Textile Industry

The textile business relies heavily on information technology (IT). The four Ms (Men, Material, Machine, and Money) are employed in any manufacturing operation. Managers must work on synchronising and generating synergies with internal and external processes to achieve organisational success. As competition heats up, businesses are turning to information technology (IT) to help them improve their Supply Chain Management (SCM) and gain a strategic advantage. To put it simply, a growing number of textile companies are taking advantage of technology to improve their bottom line. Learn more about how IT plays a significant role in leveraging the Textile Industry.

Construction & Design of Fabric

Fabric is most commonly made by weaving or knitting. Non-woven fabrics such as felting, laminating, and bonding can also be used to create a product. Two strands are interlaced at right angles on a loom to weave a fabric. Weft yarns are the horizontal threads. Learn more about these methods of building and designing fabric in this section.
