Summary: This paper presents a simple method for recycling differently softened cotton and cotton/elastane knitted fabric waste from the textile industry, using them as adsorbents for Congo Red dye with up to 96% removal efficiency. The adsorption process onto cationic and silicone softened fabrics follows Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, respectively. The adsorption kinetics fit the pseudo-second-order model, and equilibrium is reached after 90 minutes. This study also suggests a circular economy solution for fabric waste disposal with adsorbed Congo Red, generating additional revenues and providing antistatic protection.

Summary: The study found that structural parameters and thickness of fabrics increase with the progression of relaxation, depending on the fabric tightness factor. Different types of knitted fabrics exhibit different characteristics, such as bursting strength and structural parameters, under various relaxation treatments.

Summary: This study investigates the fatigue properties of dual core-spun yarns with wool staple yarn and elastane filament as core materials. Twist is found to have a significant impact on the elongation, tensile strength, dynamic modulus, and dynamic strain values of the yarns. Additionally, the wool draft ratio is statistically significant on tensile strength, elongation, dynamic modulus, and dynamic strain values after cyclic loading. Elastane draft ratio only shows statistical significance on the dynamic modulus values.

Summary: This research customized a facile and efficient UVA-assisted scouring/bleaching strategy to reduce the energy and water consumption in a conventional textile industry. The bleaching efficacy under UVA irradiation was explored and compared with different processes. Mathematical modeling was used to investigate the significance of parameters on the whiteness index of fabric. The bleaching mechanism was analyzed using a fluorescence labelling method. The results showed that the UVA-assisted strategy achieved an equivalent effect as conventional methods, with superior bleaching performance and energy conservation. The study demonstrated the practicability and promising prospects of UVA-assisted pre-treatment in enhancing the sustainability of the textile industry.

Summary: The study developed innovative dual-core yarn structures containing elastane and wool cores to produce denim fabrics with increased thermal insulation, by changing production parameters. The selection of the best yarn type for denim production was done using Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA), determining production parameters for optimal results.

Summary: Cotton-wrapped elastane core yarns are commonly used in stretch denim fabrics production but suffer from fabric growth. To solve this problem, a dual-core yarn consisting of elastane and T400 multifilament was developed. The dual-core yarn showed excellent tenacity, elongation, and resilience, with reduced evenness, imperfections, and hairiness values. It can be used to produce durable stretch jeans with high comfort and shape retention.

Summary: This study produced elastic knitted fabrics with high extensibility using spandex core-spun yarns. Compared to 100% cotton samples, the cotton/spandex samples showed increased stitch density, fabric density, fabric thickness, and thermal resistance, while decreasing air permeability, water vapour permeability, and spirality angle.

Summary: In this study, a novel and simple spinning strategy was proposed to fabricate spandex/CNT cotton yarns with good performance, which could be dyed into different colors through a concise dyeing process to become sensors. The sensor exhibited good sensitivity, broad sensing range, excellent durability, and abrasion resistance, and could be successfully integrated into textiles. The weavable and dyeable core-spun yarn provided a feasible approach for industrial-scale production of wearable sensors.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of extensibility on cotton blended polyester-spandex core-spun yarn in the weft direction of denim fabric. Different physio-mechanical characteristics were evaluated to assess the quality of the fabricated denim, with higher cotton content leading to lower tensile and tearing strength. The produced denim fabrics exhibited balanced drapability and good breathability.

Summary: This study compares the effects of different yarn structures on elastic properties and finds that elastane core-spun and single-core yarns have higher values for most elastic properties. Yarn count and yarn structure significantly influence stress decay, while yarn structure significantly affects permanent deformation and elastic recovery. On the other hand, yarn count significantly affects relaxation rate. Additionally, the number of cyclic tests significantly influences yarn elastic recovery.

Summary: This article explores the methods and properties of preparing submicron-cotton/polyester composite core-spun yarn. By using a conventional spinning machine and an improved spinning process, yarn with a core-sheath structure was successfully produced. The experimental results showed that increasing the spinning twist improved the structure and mechanical properties of the yarn.

Summary: This research studied the effects of yarn structure and yarn count on properties of different types of core-spun yarns. It found that yarn count, yarn structure, and their interaction significantly influenced yarn properties, except for yarn hairiness. Scanning electron microscopy images were used to illustrate the structure of dual-core yarns and tri-core yarns.
