The protection provided by clothing against ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been the subject of considerable recent research. However, a lack of investigations concerned with the influence of yarn properties on UV protection capabilities of fabrics seems to be present. This study investigated the influence of yarn twist and surface geometry on these properties of fabrics. The gray-state plain cotton knitted fabrics were produced from yarn differing in twist level under controlled conditions, so as to obtain as similar as possible construction of the fabrics. These plain knitted (single jersey) fabrics were spectrophotometrically assessed and UV protection factor was calculated. The results obtained indicated that yarn twist to a great extent influenced the UV protection properties of the knitted fabrics through the influence on yam compactness and surface properties, which in turn influenced the open porosity of the fabric. The results were also interpreted as the consequences of minimal differences between knitted fabrics' construction (different stitch density), which could not be avoided because of the yam twist differences.

Characterization of microporous PP/PE nonwoven mats surface modified by deposition of electrospun nanofibers

Summary: This study investigates the effect of surface modification by deposition of electrospun fibers on properties and performance of three different microporous polypropylene/polyethylene (PP/PE) commercial nonwoven membrane supports (Novatexx 2430, 2465 and 2473). The results show that polyamide (nylon 6) nanofiber webs with a small number of defects and fibers of about 100 nanometer diameter were successfully deposited onto a surface of the selected membrane supports. Through microstructure and chemical analysis, it was found that the modified membrane supports exhibited improved thermal stability and better saline water permeability.
