Summary: This study examined the quality of four plain single jersey weft-knitted fabrics made from the same flax yarn but with different structural characteristics. The fabrics were evaluated based on their compression, comfort, and strength properties. The results showed that the fabric with the lowest structural characteristics had the highest compressibility, thickness loss, and air permeability, but the lowest compressive resilience, water retention, bursting strength, and ball traverse elongation. Pilling caused a decrease in the quality of all fabrics, especially those with a less compact structure.

Summary: In this study, a double-branch deep cross-level fusion convolutional neural network (D-DCFNet) was proposed to improve feature selection in the objective evaluation of wool knitted fabric pilling. Experimental results showed that D-DCFNet achieved high accuracy rates for woolen and semi-worsted knitted fabrics with a small model size.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of process variables on viscose and cotton knitted fabrics, finding that dye concentration had the greatest impact on K/S value, with multi-functional dyes showing the best results. Enzymatic treatment improved pilling resistance in cotton fabrics but had no effect on viscose fabrics.

Summary: Luxury fibers, such as cashmere and yak, are valued for their soft and warm qualities, as well as their status-symbol status. This study compared the handle properties and permeability properties of fabrics made from wool fibers to those made from luxury fibers. The results showed that wool yarns were easier to spin into fine yarn counts, while yak yarns were the coarsest. Hand-knitted fabrics made from cashmere had the softest feeling, and the porosity of the fabrics had a significant impact on their permeability.

Summary: This research investigates the impact of common wet processes on the quality of cotton/elastane knitted fabrics. It analyzes the changes in various parameters such as structure, mechanical properties, comfort, and esthetic properties. The study finds that the type and content of elastane, as well as the severity of the wet processes, significantly affect the fabric's performance.

Summary: This research investigated the effect of knit fabric stitch patterns and thickness variations on moisture responsiveness for different wool-based fabrics. The results showed significant changes in fabric thickness under different moisture conditions, with different stitch patterns exhibiting distinct characteristics. Wool-based yarns showed an increase in thickness under dry conditions compared to wet conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the thermal comfort properties of different double-layered knitted fabrics. The results showed that 100% Eri silk fabrics had better air permeability, thermal conductivity, and water vapor transmission compared to 85:15% Wool/Eri silk fabrics. Additionally, 85:15% Wool/Eri silk fabrics had the highest thermal resistance.

Summary: This study demonstrates the highly adhesive and uniform printing of carbon nanotube-polymer composites (CPCs) on commercial fabrics using a mechanically assisted printing (MAP) technique. By controlling the mixture ratio and applying various patterning methods, the printability and conductivity of the composites can be optimized to fabricate durable flexible electronic circuits.

Summary: In this study, a combination hydrothermal-assisted assemble strategy was proposed to design a flexible supercapacitor using reduced graphene oxide fiber and MoS2 nanosheet-assembled composite fabrics. The flexible electrode exhibited fast interlaminar conductivity, large capacitance, and high stability, making it a promising candidate for practical applications in wearable/smart electronics.

Summary: This research investigated the impact of yarn parameters on the abrasion, pilling, and snagging resistance of knitted fabrics. The study found that yarn fineness and twist level affect the performance of knitted fabrics, with fabric thickness also playing a significant role in abrasion resistance. Additionally, yarn twist and fineness were found to impact snagging resistance, while yarn linear density and twist affected pilling propensity.
