Abstract:
Contemporary knitting over the past decade has experienced a recent resurgence in cultural interest and technical exploration. This research project aims to identify, through personal practice, the implications of knitting as undefined, removed from the boundaries of product. It is the dissolving of the lines between design, art and craft and exploring the domestically machine knitted textile via the use of materials and the inherent qualities of the fabric which are the driving factors of this research. It is through this exploration that my personal and creative process is diversified. The traditional connotations of knitting are historical, social and cultural, in particular hand knitting. Childhood memories of mothers and grandmothers knitting out of necessity, for clothing, often evoke feelings of safety, warmth and comfort. This familiarity of the looped stitches and understanding of the knit as garment binds knitting to fashion. Industrial knitting process, as scale of stitch is reduced, begins to remove this familiarity and creates an anonymity of structure and process, for example jersey knits used for t-shirts. This instant recognition for knitting as clothing is part of the design process where-by knitted fabrics work in unison with product. It is this boundary that has defined my professional practice designing for knitwear. This research involves a more experimental and fluid approach to producing the textile, considering the qualities and potential of the structure as something to celebrate in its own form. Designers such as Issey Miyake, Hussein Chalayan and the artist Rosmarie Trockel have been influential in taking fashion concepts into the gallery, often knitted. This movement of making conceptual and political statements, especially in the case of the industrially knitted pieces by Trockel, was a step to question the traditional and feminist perceptions of knitting and using the process as a material to create art. While these exhibitions explored the knitted textile in the form of fashion garment, the importance of diversifying the knitted cloth and displaying conceptual pieces is a major influence on this research. Also the more recent exhibition 'Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting', (Museum of Arts & Design New York 2007), has allowed for a reinvigorated forum for constructed textiles to be viewed as object, new product or purely as spatial explorations of structure. The impact of these ideas has allowed for the consideration of the textile being stripped back further and to remove the instant connot ation of product application. Exploration of materials, knitted structures and the manipulation of fabric without the constraints of identified product is the impetus of this project. The evolution of the outcomes is instrumental to the reactions of fibres, stitch and interplays of positive and negative space, while suggestions of product are accidental and created by the knitted form as it is removed from the machine. A personal interest in exploiting the knitted structures potential to possess transparency and opacity, become sculptural and changeable by hand have influenced the choices of material and stitch combination. This experimentation has informed my personal practice and the involved process of making.

Abstract:
The human body possesses a highly developed range of senses that help orienting oneself in everyday life. Especially when it comes to navigating, perceiving and reacting to the world around us, people tend to rely mostly on their vision and hearing. Suffering from an impairment of either one, or both of the predominating senses means having to counterbalance this constraint. People suffering from blindness and deaf-blindness compensate their impairment mainly by relying on their haptic perception. In this case, information is usually communicated by braille or vibrotactile means. To offer another non-visual and non-audial communication concept this thesis work introduces, the thermal textile pixels. A thermal textile pixel consists of an external thermal device, able to generate hot and cold thermal impulses, and a textile interface to transmit the signal. In order to design such thermal textile pixel it was crucial to be aware of the thermal transfer occurring through and within an textile. Numerous research studies have examined the thermal properties of textiles, especially in the context of clothing comfort, thermal comfort. Nevertheless, it should be considered that as a thermal textile pixel, the textile forms part of a system, governed by many parameters. Therefore, for designing such a device it is important to be aware of the temporal and spatial resolution of the thermal transmitted signal. These characteristics are influenced by multiple textile parameters. For this purpose, a thermal study has been performed investigating in- and out-of-plane signal transmission by textiles in combination with an external thermal device. Using an external thermal device such as a Peltier element allowed to expose the specimens to heating as well as to active cooling. Different knitted structures and material combinations have been examined to gain a first impression on the behaviour of thermal pixels. It was found that thickness and density were the most influential factors for out-of-plane heat transfer. In-plane was found influenced mainly by fibre conductivity. An anisotropic behaviour was noted in-plane, as well as between in- and out-of-plane for heat transfer. Investigating active cooling signals, it was found that a significant decline of performance was noted for all specimens. Plain PA was found to be most suitable for the transmission of heat signals. But did not perform equally well during active cooling phases. Plain Shieldex was observed to perform most steady during heating and active cooling.

Full text
Abstract:
LUX studies the combination of electronics and knitted textiles from a textile design perspective. The thought of experiencing textiles without touching them sparked the idea of designing textiles where touch is essential for the visual appearance. The aim is to design knitted textiles that light up when touched, in order to create an interactive experience for the viewer. Optical fibres were chosen because of their ability to transmit light and copper yarn works as an electrical conductor that triggers the reaction of light. The shapes of the knitted textiles have been created by utilising the characteristics of the optical fibre. LUX introduces a working method in which the optical fibre is given an important role not only as a light source but also as a tool for shaping the textiles. The result of the work is three textiles that display how electronics, consisting of sensors and light, can be merged with textiles and contribute to interactive behaviour.

Abstract:
Textile Hybrids explores knitted textiles by challenging properties of elasticity and flexibility through yarn composition, technical construction and combinations with wood. This study is placed in the field of textile spatial design and suggests experimental ways to explore three-dimensionality in a knitted textile by changing its properties through material synergies. The outcome is a three piece series of modular three-dimensional, standalone textile objects. The construction, assembly and flexibility of each piece make it possible to separate all components for reassembly, recycling or reusing, suggesting further research possibilities into more tangible contexts within textile spatial design, architecture, furniture design and product design. This study is derived from an interest to explore different ways a textile can exist on its own in a spatial context such as the home, without solely being the material covering a load-bearing framework i.e a couch or a chair.

Full text
Abstract:
This study reacts to the segregation of knowledge and practice surrounding weft-knitted textiles, their design and applications. This study challenges current disciplinary practices that divide knit into scientific, design and art areas by describing a designer-maker methodology, which is used to produce auxetic, weft-knitted textiles. By using a designer-maker’s practice-led perspective to create functional fabrics, it seeks to challenge the perception that technical and functional research in textiles is or should be the domain of scientific methodologies and engineering practice. This study does not apply external methodologies to the research design, but extracts its methods and values from an existing knit design practice, built from experiential knowledge, that becomes the basis for the methodology. Qualitative and quantitative measures of success are both vital to the methodology used in this study and both subjective and objective perspectives are embraced. The practical work uses designer-maker practice to lead the development of 30 auxetic fabric samples. These fabrics are appraised using a variety of methods including personal reflection, numerical measurement and feedback from focus groups of other practitioners. The information developed on auxetic materials is presented in various ways such as using percentages, diagrams, photographs and videos to encourage dissemination and knowledge transfer between different disciplinary groups. Auxetic effect is conveyed in photographic, diagrammatic, video, graphical, percentage and Poisson’s ratio data to increase understanding to wide audiences and to satisfy traditional, scientific auxetic researchers as well as a new area of design-based practitioners. This study presents the case that there is a valuable, transferrable knowledge in knit design practice that represents existing methodologies used by knit practitioners as well as providing a new methodology for consideration by science and engineering practitioners. This is demonstrated through the production of auxetic, knitted fabrics using a design approach that incorporates qualitative, quantitative, practical, aesthetic, functional and theoretical skills.

Abstract:
This research involves the application of hydroentangling technology as a means of significantly improving knitted fabric properties. In the past, various efforts have been made, directed at improving the dimensional stability and physical properties of woven and knitted fabrics through the finishing technique of hydroentanglement. In such applications, warp and filling fibers in fabrics are hydroentangled at crossover points to effect enhancement in fabric cover. The process parameters of hydroentangling are investigated and optimized to achieve desired results. Potential benefits include enhanced fabric durability, stability, and appearance.

Abstract:
This project places itself in the field of textile design within flat knitting textiles intended as prototypes for interactive textiles with multifunctional purposes and aesthetics. The purpose of the project is to suggest alternative design solutions towards knitted textiles in the field of sportswear that not only acts as a second skin both in terms of appearance and functionality, as well as aesthetic details once the knit interacts with a moving body. The aim of the project, but also offers visual and contrasting functions such as expandability, rigidness and stretch, as well as creating aesthetic details caused by movement of the human body. The design process was conducted in experimental knitting on both industrial and domestic knitting machines, workshops entailing the relation between the knits and the body as well as technically developing the proper bindings to work in unity. Analysis of the knits were made which led to the solely use of these bindings: rib, spacer, links links, ripple and mesh. The outcome of the projects resulted in four knitted textile prototypes, where one of them is designed as a product in the shape of a top, and the others as knitted fabrics each representing two opposing functions. The conclusion drawn in retrospect of this project that by placing opposing bindings parallel, such ripple and links links, it is possible to achieve two opposing functions as well as different visual perception within the same area of a knitted piece.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a study of the sensing properties exhibited by textile-based knitted strain sensors. Sensing fabrics were manufactured from silver-plated conductive nylon and non-conducting elastomeric yarns. The component yarns offered similar diameters, bending characteristics and surface friction, but their production parameters differed in respect of the yarn input tension, the number of conductive courses in the sensing structure and the elastomeric yarn extension characteristics. The knitted sensors were manufactured using flat-bed knitting technology, and electro-mechanical tests were performed on the specimens using a tensile testing machine to apply strain whilst the sensor was incorporated into a Wheatstone bridge arrangement to allow electrical monitoring. The novel operational principle relies on the separation under strain of adjacent conducting knitted loops which are normally held in contact by the elastomeric yarn. The results confirm that production parameters play a fundamental role in determining the physical behaviour and the sensing properties of knitted sensors and the response could be engineered by varying the production parameters of specific designs. Results showed that the knitted structures could be manipulated to produce gauge factor values between 2.26 and 0.23 for sensors with working ranges of 8.4 % and 3.3 % respectively when the elastomeric yarn had 8 cN input tension. The generated signals were stable and repeatable, and under cyclic testing proved to be substantially free from long-term drift. A textile-based strain sensor was developed to create a respiration belt; this was realised by bringing together the extensible knitted sensor and a relatively inelastic textile strap. Machine simulations and real time measurements on a human subject were performed to calculate average breathing frequencies under different static and dynamic conditions. Various respiration rates were monitored to simulate different medical conditions and with the belt located either round the torso or in the abdominal area, the sensor yielded a satisfactory response. However, body motion artefacts affected the signal quality under dynamic conditions and an additional signal-processing step was added to separate unwanted interference from the breathing signal. Electro-mechanical modelling was developed by exploiting Peirce`s loop model in order to describe the fabric geometry under static and dynamic conditions. Kirchhoff`s node and loop equations were employed to create a generalised solution for the equivalent electrical resistance of the textile sensor for a given knitted loop geometry and for a specified number of loops. Experimental results were obtained from the sensor for strain levels up to 40% and these correlate well with the modelled data; a maximum error of 2.13 % was found between the experimental and modelled resistance-strain relationships.

Abstract:
This work places itself in the field of textile design, knitting and three-dimensional objects. The primary motive is to investigate flat knitting as a technique to design form. The aim is to explore the possibilities within flat knitting in order to explore the relationship between knit and non-textile components to achieve three-dimensional forms for sitting. The design process consisted of experimental sketching on a flat knitting machine and small prototypes were produced. Rib, plain knit and mesh structures were tested in combination with partial knit, intarsia and plating. These bindings and techniques were combined with steel constructions to explore possibilities for shaping and function. By integrating a non-textile component as support in the knitted samples three-dimensional objects are created. The outcome of the study is a collection of knitted objects. Common for these is that they all suggest a function in relation to seating. The textile in the construction serves a function, an aesthetic expression and as the connection material in the construction. For further development, the possibility of creating textiles for furniture with capabilities for changes in expression and function can be explored.

La quantité d’adoucissant déposée sur le textile a été mesurée, l’uniformité du dépôt a été quantifiée par analyse d’image. Le potentiel zéta des fibres et la capacité d’absorption des textiles expliquent les écarts de quantité déposées sur les tricots. L'évaluation sensorielle des tissus a été réalisée par un groupe de panélistes entrainés en utilisant la méthode de comparaison par paire. En outre, un système intelligent basé sur la logique floue pour corréler les paramètres physiques et sensoriels a été développé afin de prédire les performances d'un tricot aprés un grand nombre de cycles de lavage
In this thesis, the simultaneous influence of repeated machine laundry and use of the fabric softener on sensory, mechanical and physico-chemical properties of the knitted textiles was investigated. The deposition of softener was characterised by amount of deposition in different load conditions (mixed fibre load and individual fibre load) and level of uniformity of the deposition. The softener deposition was explained by zeta-potential of the fibres and liquid-absorption capability of the knitted fabrics. The non-uniformity of the softener deposition was quantified by image processing method. The sensory evaluation of the fabrics was carried out by a trained panel using pair-comparison method. Furthermore, an intelligent system based on Fuzzy logic for correlating the physical and sensory parameters was developed in order to predict the performance of a knitted fabric which has gone through number of laundry cycles

Abstract:
In the field of knitting, the binding weave knitting is mainly used for technical textiles, where the textiles have a high performance require- ment. Weave knit is constructed by placing an inlay thread between the knitting rows in a similar manner as a weft thread in a woven tex- tile. This work sets out to design three-dimensional weave-knitted tex- tiles in combination with intarsia and partial knit with the intention to develop surface pattern on three-dimensional shapes. The material used are effect yarn, monofilament and chenille yarn, which improve the properties of the textile. The three techniques enhance each other by their characteristics and give the possibility of formability. The re- sult shows an installation of textiles with three-dimensional character- istics, meant for spatial contexts which have the ability to function with light. The value of this work lies in the combination of the techniques and the application area in which the work is set.

Abstract:
This paper describes a practice- based research project in which physical and emotional comfort and discomfort is experienced by the human body. A variety of different Comfort Zones are presented. All of them deal with the relationship between filling material and cover, in which knitted structures and materials play a central role in order to create comfort. The elasticity of the knit is challenged when creating volume and emphasizes the idea that comfort is elastic in material/physical way, as well as well in emotions. The use of filling materials gives a new dimension, sensitivity and offers new opportunities. This form exploration discusses the potential of knit to serve as a cover and decorative element, but most importantly the possibility of a textile to create its own filling. By rolling up a knitted tube, volume is built up layer by layer; a torus appears and captures a void in the center of the form, required by the tube, the fundament. Hints of discomfort are given and emphasized by either surface/structure, volume or garments on the body.

Abstract:
Denna rapport presenterar det examensarbete som gjorts i samarbete med företaget Artimplant. Syftet med arbetet är att ta fram en prototyp av ett meniskimplantat i trikåteknik. Det kräver stickning av en given form och att prototypen ska inneha vissa egenskaper.Ämnesområden som berörs under arbetets gång är textiltillverkning med inriktning mot väfttrikå samt medicinsk textil. Förutom textila ämnesområden tas även ämnen som knäledens anatomi och meniskens uppbyggnad, funktion och skador upp. Kunskaper inom dessa områden krävs för att på bästa sätt ta fram prototyper av meniskimplantat.Att sticka det triangulära tvärsnittet och den böjda formen som krävs för ett meniskimplantat har varit ett arbete som pågått under hela projektet. För att åstadkomma detta och erhålla egenskaper som krävs för en prototyp av ett meniskimplantat har diskussioner förts med produktutvecklare och tekniker, både på Artimplant och på Textilhögskolan för att diskutera möjligheter och utformning. Även möte med ortoped och en av initiativtagarna till Artimplant har givit värdefull information kring hur en prototyp till ett meniskimplantat bör utformas. Dessutom diskuteras och analyseras frågor kring industrialisering av processen och framtagning av kravspecifikation samt hur prototyper förhåller sig till den framtagna kravspecifikationen.Varje enskild prototyp granskas efter framtagning och utvalda prototyper genomgår tester där resultaten jämförs mellan dessa samt enligt kravspecifikation. Detta tillvägagångssätt möjliggör ständiga förbättringar för varje prototyp som tas fram.En slutlig prototyp av ett meniskimplantat har tagits fram och dess egenskaper och utformning möter den framtagna kravspecifikationen. Dess grepp och känsla är liknande en naturlig menisk då den är töj- och formbar, elastisk samt har en slät yta. Formbarheten på prototypen möjliggör anpassning av storlek och positionering vilket medför bra integration till ledytorna. Ytterligare likheter som prototypen har med en naturlig menisk är dess förmåga att stå emot deformation vid kompression.This report presents the thesis that was executed at the company Artimplant. The purpose of this work is to produce a prototype of a meniscus implant in knitted technology. It demands knitting a specific shape and that the prototype shall possess certain properties.The subjects that the report covers are textile manufacturing with focus on weft knits and medical textile. Besides subjects concerning textile technology there are also subjects as the anatomy of knee joint and the meniscus structure, function and damage. Knowledge in these areas is required to develop a prototype of a meniscus implant in the best way as possible.Knitting the triangular cross section and getting the curved shape that a meniscus implant requires have been under constant development during the project. To achieve this design and to obtain required properties for a prototype of a meniscus implant have discussion been held with product developer and technicians, both at Artimplant and at the Swedish School of Textile, to discuss the opportunities and design. Meetings with an orthopaedic, who also was one of the initiators of Artimplant, have provided valuable information regarding the design of a prototype of a meniscus implant. Furthermore, issues related to industrialization of the process, composing a requirement specification and how prototypes are related to the requirement specification are discussed and analyzed.Each produced prototype is analyzed and thereafter prototypes are selected for further tests. The results from the tests are compared between the selected prototypes and according to the requirement specification. This line of action allows continuous improvement for each produced prototype.A final prototype of a meniscus implant has been developed and its properties and design fulfil all of the criteria in the requirement specification. Its hand is similar to a natural meniscus because of its stretchability, elasticity, flexibility and the surface smoothness. The flexibility of the prototype allows adjustments of size and positioning which results in good integration to the knee-joint. Further resemblance is the prototype’s ability to resist deformation during compression.

Abstract:
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a modality of electrotherapy which is aiming to restore and improve muscle function by injecting small levels of current into the muscle using different types of electrodes. Advantages are seen in using textile electrodes which can be integrated into wearables. Previous research has been done for the development of textile stimulation electrodes. However, the focus has not been on the electrode construction itself. Therefore, the influence of electrode construction parameters of knitted electrodes as well as of the electrode condition, i.e. wet or dry, on the skin-electrode impedance and on the perceived stimulation comfort were analysed. Further, the application of pressure to the electrode was investigated. It was found that the electrode condition is the most important parameter for the electrode performance as a wet electrode showed a lower impedance and an improved stimulation comfort with a better skin contact. Followed by this, the pressure was the second most important factor, especially for dry electrodes. A higher pressure reduced the skin-electrode impedance and improved the skin contact in dry condition. Nevertheless, dry electrodes with a high applied pressure still performed worse than wet electrodes. Regarding the electrode design, the most important factor was the electrode size. A bigger size reduced the impedance. Nevertheless, for the application in NMES, a smaller electrode size is to be preferred as it improved the stimulation selectivity and thus, a lower NMES level was required to induce a plantarflexion without affecting the stimulation comfort. The other investigated construction parameters (binding, yarn density, shape) only showed minor influences on the electrode performance. Therefore, the possibilities of applying pressure to the electrode to improve the performance of dry textile electrodes should be further investigated.

Full text
Abstract:
Combining stainless steel with polyester fibres adds an attractive conductive behaviour to the yarn. Once knitted in such a manner, fabrics develop sensing properties that make them suitable for wearable applications as a consequence of the variation of their conductivity when subject to structural deformations. The use of such textiles as accurate strain/motion sensors can be considered the new frontier in wearable sensor applications, in opposition to their use as simple strain/motion detectors as mainly done until now. This thesis aims to characterise the electrical properties of knitted conductive textiles made of 20% stainless steel and 80% polyester fibres in the context of their application as fabric strain sensors. However, the use of conductive textiles as sensors is challenging and requires the combined study of their electrical and mechanical behaviours. In the first part of this thesis, the fabric resistance variation is analysed with a purposely built measurement system during a considerable number of stretch-recovery cycles performed by an Instron tensile machine. From the resulting electrical characterisation, it is possible to select the best knit pattern candidates for the second part of the study, which regards their integration into a supporting garment and further investigation of their electrical and mechanical properties in view of their application as wearable motion sensors. Two acquisition systems capture both free and constrained motions of a participant's knee and the electrical resistance variation due to combined deformation of samples and supporting leggings. In both parts of this thesis, a detailed analysis in terms of linearity, stability, sensitivity and hysteresis confirms that the overall sensing performance progressively decreases during extended use as a consequence of the short-term irreversible fabric deformation and does not significantly recover after short rest periods. For the development and use of high performance fabric-based strain sensors, it is therefore evident the importance of the long-term maintaining of a reversible stretch-recovery behaviour not only of the sensing fabrics but also of the supporting garments they are integrated in.

A mechanical method for reducing the spirality of single jersey tubular weft knitted fabrics is described. Initial attempts, using a false twisting device, did not prove successful. A later, successful method was developed, based on changes in yarn torque produced by a steaming and untwisting method. The new method is shown to be very effective in reducing spirality. Microscopic examination of changes in yarn structure, including characteristics of fibre migration have also been carried out.

Abstract:
Human body temperature is an important indicator of physical performance and condition in terms of comfort, heat or cold stress. The aim of this research was to develop Temperature Sensing Fabric (TSF) for continuous temperature measurement in healthcare applications. The study covers the development and manufacture of TSF by embedding fine metallic wire into the structure of textile material using a commercial computerised knitting machine. The operational principle of TSF is based on the inherent propensity of a metal wire to respond to changes in temperature with variation in its electrical resistance. Over 60 TSF samples were developed with combinations of different sensing elements, two inlay densities and highly textured polyester yarn as the base material. TSF samples were created using either bare or insulated wires with a range of diameters from 50 to 150 μm and metal wires of nickel, copper, tungsten, and nickel coated copper. In order to investigate the Temperature-Resistance (T-R) relationship of TSF samples for calibration purposes, a customised test rig was developed and monitoring software was created in the LabVIEW environment, to record the temperature and resistance signals simultaneously. TSF samples were tested in various thermal environments, under laboratory conditions and in practical wear trials, to analyse the relationship between the temperature and resistance of the sensing fabric and to develop base line specifications such as sensitivity, resistance ratio, precision, nominal resistance, and response time; the influence of external parameters such as humidity and strain were also monitored. The regression uncertainty was found to be less than in ±0.1°C; the repeatability uncertainty was found to be less than ±0.5°C; the manufacturing uncertainty in terms of nominal resistance was found to be ± 2% from its mean. The experimental T-R relationship of TSF was validated by modelling in the thermo-electrical domain in both steady and transient states. A maximum error of 0.2°C was found between the experimental and modelled T-R relationships. TSF samples made with bare wire sensing elements showed slight variations in their resistance during strain tests, however, samples made with insulated sensing elements did not demonstrate any detectable strain-dependent-resistance error. The overall thermal response of TSF was found to be affected by basal fabric thickness and mass; the effect of RH was not found to be significant. TSF samples with higher-resistance sensing elements performed better than lower-resistance types. Furthermore, TSF samples made using insulated wire were more straightforward to manufacture because of their increased tensile strength and exhibited better sensing performance than samples made with bare wire. In all the human body wear trials, under steady-state and dynamic conditions both sensors followed the same trends and exhibited similar movement artifacts. When layers of clothing were worn over the sensors, the difference between the response of the TSF and a high-precision reference temperature were reduced by the improved isothermal conditions near the measurement site.

As computational technology and new materials are entering the world of textiles, our view on the textile material is challenged; the areas of textiledesign and interaction design start to merge. Designing interactive textiles means communicating new expressional forms through textile material. This thesis aim to contribute to the exploration of designing interactive knitted textiles with focus on linking interactive properties, especially visual and tactile, to different ways of expressing them. Design examples and experiments presented are meant to show new possibilities for designing textile material able to change structure, colour and temperaturein different ways in response to environmental stimuli. As a way of presenting, and reflecting on, these interactive properties, a notion of expression diagrams is introduced.

Abstract:
This thesis explores how women form, perceive and communicate their sense of identity by hand knitting for leisure. Leisure, defined here as time outside of work or caring responsibilities, was selected as the focus of this research because women have some choice over how they spend this time and express themselves. Writing on contemporary knitting has tended to frame knitting within political, artistic or commercial contexts (such as Black, 2005, 2012 and Elliot, 2015). This leaves a gap in our understanding of why women who knit for leisure do so. This is partially addressed by recent empirical research (for example Fields, 2014) that has studied social processes within knitting groups. However, research has devoted less attention to the wider motivations of women who knit alone or in groups. This is important if we consider that identity formation happens in a broader context, and may involve a constant interaction with people (Jenkins, 2004), objects and ideas, as is suggested by the findings of this study. The research employs a qualitative approach based on Charmaz’s (2006) grounded theory by way of a staged design which aims to respond to the data and minimise the influence of preconceived ideas. This aim is particularly important given the historical and contemporary stereotypes associated with knitting, and my own background as a textile historian and maker. Application of social research methods also aims to further develop the role played by empirical research in the area of textile scholarship. Data was collected in three stages; a pilot study, questionnaires with women textile bloggers and the main research stage which consisted of semi-structured interviews with knitters living in Edinburgh. Interviewees were contacted by volunteer and snowball sampling. Content analysis was supported by QSR*NVivo and involved descriptive and theoretical coding in order to identify themes in the data. Analysis suggests knitting provides immediate social interaction and support. This could be associated with Jenkins’ (2004) proposition that identity is formed by ongoing social interaction. However, there is another dimension here as knitting also enables the solitary knitter to access interactions with ideas and other people through objects and the personal memories held within them as well as through online communities. Three key findings are that knitting presents a way to be creative, productive and social. Firstly, respondents describe knitting as a balance between challenge and perceived ability, as might be described as ‘flow’ (Csikszentmihalyi, 2002 [1992]). Secondly, this meets a need for a leisure activity that produces a tangible manifestation of effort and skill. However, the process of knitting is also seen to be as important, if not more so, than the final product. This insight reinforces the usefulness of empirical study of the experience of making textiles, and reveals additional data than studying only the final object. Thirdly, knitting is presented as a means to access meaningful social interactions and a sense of belonging to a community whether or not the knitter is a member of a knitting group. Such interactions might be online or provide a sense of continuity with previous generations of knitters in their families or women in general. Knitters see this as a way of building social capital and support. Overall, findings suggest that identity formation and communication should be seen as a complex process that does not only involve direct social interactions but interaction with the idea of other knitters, past and present, and the practical experience of making.

Abstract:
Le tricotage est une technique d'obtention de textiles ancestrale qui est encore couramment utilisée de nos jours. Cette technique permet de produire des textiles possédant une forte déformation élastique, un comportement mécanique anisotrope modifiable simplement en jouant sur la géométrie de la maille, la possibilité d'obtenir des formes générales (préformes) ou internes (trous) durant le procédé de fabrication, rendant ces textiles particulièrement attractifs et rentables. Plus récemment, l’utilisation des alliages à mémoire de forme (AMF), en particulier de fils de Nickel-Titane (Ni-Ti), pour produire ces tricots a permis de proposer des textiles aux fonctionnalités nouvelles, telles qu'une très grande déformation élastique, un changement de forme sous l'effet d'un échauffement, une forte capacité d’amortissement, etc.Cependant, le comportement mécanique de tels tricots AMF reste encore assez mal connu, et bien qu'un certain nombre d'études aient déjà été proposées dans la littérature concernant la caractérisation du comportement mécanique de ces tricots, l'application aux tricots NiTi reste insuffisamment faite.Dans ce travail, un ensemble d’outils expérimentaux et numériques a été mis en place pour étudier la déformation des tricots NiTi, en particulier pour évaluer l'influence des paramètres matériaux, géométrie, frottements, etc., sur le comportement mécanique. Un montage expérimental a été développé pour caractériser le textile en traction biaxiale. Il s'inspire des techniques utilisées pour les membranes souples visant à obtenir un champ de déformation le plus uniforme possible dans la zone déformée. De plus, sa conception ainsi qu’un programme de traitement d'images permettent la mesure de la distribution des efforts aux frontières ainsi que la mesure de la morphologie des mailles du tricot au cours de la déformation.Le comportement mécanique du tricot a été modélisé par homogénéisation numérique en réalisant des simulations numériques par éléments finis sur une maille représentative sous conditions périodiques. Les prédictions des simulations sont validées en regard des résultats expérimentaux obtenus sur les tricots NiTi, en traction simple et traction biaxiale suivant les directions chaine et trame. Elles sont ensuite utilisées pour analyser l'importance des différents mécanismes de déformation en fonction de la sollicitation étudiée
Knitting is an ancestral textile manufacturing technique which is still commonly used nowadays. This method allows to manufacture textiles possessing high recoverable strains, an anisotropic mechanical behavior easily tuned by varying the knit loop dimensions, the ability to obtain general forms (preforms) or internal forms (holes) during the manufacturing process, and more, making those textiles particularly attractive and cost-efficient. More recently, the use of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA), notably Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) wires, for producing those textiles allowed to propose textiles with new functional properties, such as very high recoverable strains, shape-shifting effects under temperature changes, high damping capacity, etc.However, such SMA knitted textiles mechanical behavior remains relatively unknown, and even if a certain number of studies have dealt with the knitted textiles mechanical characterization, the application to NiTi knitted textiles remains insufficiently done.In this work, a set of experimental and numerical tools have been developed to study knitted NiTi textiles deformation, especially to evaluate the influence of material parameters, knit geometry, friction, etc., on the mechanical behavior. An experimental setup has been developed to characterize such textiles in biaxial tension. It is inspired by methods developed for soft membranes aiming at obtaining strain fields as uniform as possible in the sample working area. Furthermore, its conception as well as a dedicated image processing software allow measuring boundary forces distributions and knit loops morphology during deformation.The knitted textile mechanical behavior has been modeled using numerical homogenization method by performing finite elements numerical simulation of a representative knit loop under periodic conditions. Simulations predictions are validated in regard to experimental results obtained on knitted NiTi textiles, in simple tension and biaxial tension in course and wale directions. They are then used to analyze the importance of different deformation mechanisms depending on the loading case studied

Abstract:
extilindustrin måste ständigt söka nya alternativ inom beläggningar och laminering för att minska den skadliga miljöpåverkan. En fråga som uppkommit är om beläggningar används i större utsträckning än vad som egentligen behövs. Denna kandidatuppsats har skrivits i samarbete med Artex AB och kretsar kring ett befintligt solskydd och solens ljusspektrum som består av strålar mellan 320–2500 nm. Material som bestrålas kan antingen absorbera, reflektera eller transmittera dessa strålar. Strålarnas alternativa vägar adderat med varandra blir alltid hundra procent, vilket innebär att genom att öka den reflekterande förmågan minskas de andra två tillstånden. I denna studie granskas den totala reflekterande förmågan av ljusspektrumet hos textila material som i sin tur beror på många olika faktorer. Det undersöks även om det är ett steg i fel riktning att använda sig av beläggningar för att nå ett bättre högreflekterande material. Detta även för att minska miljöbelastningen. Eftersom beläggningar generellt förstyvar material är detta kontraproduktivt när man vill bibehålla följsamheten hos en tygvara, vilket är avgörande för denna typ av produkt. Skrynkelheten går nämligen hand i hand med tygvarans då stumma yta. Detta projekt fokuserar på solskydd som ska användas inifrån en bil. Syftet med studien var alltså att undersöka om en obelagd vit och tät tygvara kan uppnå tillräcklig funktion för ett solskydd innanför en bil. I experimenten användes fyra olika tygvaror med olika strukturer i bindningarna för att göra en så omfattande studie som möjligt. Dessa fyra var: en satin, en varptrikå och två stycken tvåskaft, varav den ena glesare och mer matt än den andra. Respektive tygvara beströks med ett färgpigment för att analysera om kombinationen mellan reflektion och elastisk potential var möjlig. Tester som genomförts i denna undersökning var: bestämning av färghärdighet, total reflektion, ljustransmittansmätning och ett egenkomponerat skrynkeltest. Vidare granskades dess skillnader för att undersöka om ett vitt material kunde ge en bättre totalreflektion, men även för att bevisa att en tygvaras konstruktion kan erhålla följsamheten även om en beläggning är nödvändig. Mätvärdena granskades för att sedan jämföra, först med varandra och sedan mot ett referensprov som kommer från en befintlig produkt som författarna fick att tillgå från Artex AB. En trikåvaras elastiska förmåga visade sig kunna bibehållas trots ett belagt ytskikt, och visade även på bra totalreflektion. Denna varptrikå uppvisade, tillsammans med satinen, på bra totalreflektion då de var obelagda och hade god följsamhet. I test om totalreflektion visades det att en vit tät tygvara reflekterade större procent än en belagd tygvara i det synliga ljusets spektrum. För att kunna dra slutsatser om ett vitt obelagt tyg med dessa konstruktioner (satin och varptrikå) hade varit bättre för ett solskydd hade vidare undrsökningar behövts göras. Detta för att se hur mycket av den totala reaktionen som är diffus respektive spekulär
The textile industry must always find ways to reinvent itself and look for alternative options, as the coating and lamination industries are vital for a better environment. A question that needs answering is if coating on textiles are used more than needed. This bachelor thesis is written in cooperation with Artex AB and revolves around the suns light spectrum that consists of rays of 320 to 2500 nm. Materials that irradiate can either absorb, reflect or transmit these wavelengths. The rays alternative routes added with each other is always one hundred percent, which means that through increasing the reflecting capacity the other two will decrease. The most interesting part of this study, was to examine the ability of the light spectrum for material, and take in to consideration it’s construction, structure and color. Textile materials are often coated to add qualities and, in this case, to increase reflecting quality. This study is trying to prove, that it's a step in the wrong direction when it comes to the functionality of a sunshade product and for a reduced impact on the environment. As coating generally stiffens materials it’s contuerproductive with regards to keeping the resilience for the fabric, which is decisive for this type of product. The wrinkles go hand in hand with the fabrics coated surface. Since this project focuses on an existing sunshade product that will be used inside of a car, the heat radiation and the undulations within a certain wavelength that requires reflection will be focused on. The purpose with the study was to examine if an uncoated white fabric can achieve the same function in a sunshade as the current fabric in the product. In the experiments, four fabrics with different structures were used to complete such a comprehensive study as possible. These four fabrics were: one satin, one warp knitted and two plain weave, where one of them was more faint and sparse than the other. Each fabric was coated with a color pigment to analyze the possibilities of a high reflective material that still has elastic potential. The tests that were made was: determination of color fastness, total reflection, light transmit and a wrinkle test. Further on these differences were reviewed, and then concluded that the coating, in hope of increasing the reflection, is negligible. But also, to prove that a fabrics construction can keep its resilience even with a coated surface. These values have been reviewed and then compared with each other and against a reference fabric that the writers took part of from Artex AB. A warp knitted fabric was able to maintain its elastic ability regardless of a coated surface, and also shows good total reflection. This warp knitted fabric showed, together with the satin, good total reflection when they were uncoated and had good resilience. In this test for total reflection, it was proven that a white dense fabric reflects better than a coated fabric in the visible spectra of light. To be able to conclude if a white uncoated fabric with these constructions (satin and warp knitting) would be more useful for a sunshade, further studies had to be made, to see how much of the total reaction that is diffuse and specular.

Abstract:
Textilindustrin är en industri som ständigt växer och utvecklas. År 1995 introducerade det japanska företaget Shima Seiki den första maskinen med de tekniska egenskaperna, som gjorde det möjligt att producera ett trikåplagg med complete garment teknik. Denna introduktion revolutionerade tillverkningstekniken för dessa plagg. Denna studie har skrivits som ett examensarbete på kandidatnivå inom Textilingenjörsprogrammets avslutande del på Högskolan i Borås. Studiens huvudsakliga syfte var att undersöka vilket produktionssätt som var mest effektivt tidsmässigt vid produktion av ett plagg i finstickad trikå, ur ett supply chain perspektiv. Två olika tillverkningsmetoder valdes ut, konventionell och complete garment. Jämförelsen baserades på tidsbedömning av tillverkningsmetodernas supply chain som undersöktes med hjälp av en värdeflödesanalys. Plagget som valdes ut var en tröja, i finstickad trikå, och utifrån detta utfördes en litteraturstudie med fokus på olika produktionsmetoder och logistik. Med utgångspunkt i litteraturstudien upprättades två varianter av varuflöden till de olika tillverkningsmetoderna. En tidsstudie utfördes grundat på de två olika varuflödena, som baserades på egna studier i kombination med intervjuer av experter inom området. Sammanställning av tidsstudien och värdeflödesanalysen visade att det fanns för- och nackdelar med de båda tillverkningsmetoderna. En nackdel som framkom var non-value-added faktorerna väntetid och planering inför produktion, som visade sig vara svåra att undvika i de båda tillverkningsmetoderna. Fördelarna var att de non-value-added faktorerna i complete garment tillverkningens supply chain kunde kortas ner. Efter analys av vilka krav som ställdes, på non-value-added faktorerna för varuflödet hos respektive tillverkningsmetod, kunde slutsatsen dras att complete garment tillverkningens varuflöde är att föredra om man ville ha en snabb påfyllnad av varor till butik utan att ha varorna på lager.

The growing development of telecommunications, especially mobile devices, has intensified related searches the microstrip antennas in recent years since they have unique properties and wide range of applications. The constant demand for lighter and more flexible devices boosted research in wearable technology area where electronics are fully embedded in their fibers. In this context, knitted fabrics have the necessary elasticity to create adaptable and sports parts, enabling high mobility and comfort to its users. The textile antennas are malleable and, therefore, have great utility in applications where rigidity of traditional antennas is considered limiting, as in military use clothing and in the biomedical field. This work aims to study and develop microstrip antennas using knitted fabric based composite fibers, showing the procedures and materials used from the characterization and choice of fabrics to the design, manufacture and testing of the textile antenna. The electrical characterization was carried out using a Vector Network Analyzer (ARV) to obtain the electrical properties (permittivity and tangent losses). Obtaining textile properties (weight, dimensional stability, degree and tensile strength) was made in accordance with the technical standards, using the equipment available at the Department of Textile Engineering at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The antenna has been designed using the transmission line model of Fortran program developed in accordance with the electrical properties of textile substrates. Subsequently the antenna was designed and simulated in HFSS® (High Frequency Structural Simulator), where radiation patterns are obtained, return loss, the Smith chart, current density and gain. The best simulated result was implemented with tissue disposed knitted in a three-layer structure according to the dimensions designed, and then the antenna is tested using a spectrum analyzer, which were collected data that allowed the manufacture of the letter Smith and graph of return loss. The experimental data were compared with the simulated and the results analyzed according to the literature that support this paper
O crescente desenvolvimento das telecomunicações, principalmente a de dispositivos móveis, têm intensificado as pesquisas relacionadas as antenas de microfita nos últimos anos, visto que estas possuem propriedades singulares, bem como vasta gama de aplicações. A constante procura por dispositivos mais leves e flexíveis impulsionou as pesquisas na área de tecnologia vestível, onde componentes eletrônicos são inteiramente embutidos em suas fibras têxteis. Nesse contexto, os tecidos malha possuem a elasticidade necessária para criar peças adaptáveis e esportivas, permitindo alta mobilidade e conforto aos seus usuários. As antenas têxteis são maleáveis e, por essa razão, têm grande utilidade em aplicações onde a rigidez das antenas tradicionais é considerada uma limitação, como em roupas de uso militar e na área biomédica. Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar e desenvolver antenas de microfita utilizando tecido de malha à base de fibras têxteis compostas, mostrando os procedimentos e materiais utilizados desde a caracterização e escolha dos tecidos até o projeto, confecção e testes da antena têxtil. A caracterização elétrica foi realizada através de um Analisador de Redes Vetorial (ARV) para obtenção das propriedades elétricas (permissividade e tangente de perdas). A obtenção das propriedades têxteis (gramatura, estabilidade dimensional, titulação e resistência a tração) foi feita de acordo com as normas técnicas, utilizando os equipamentos disponíveis no Departamento de Engenharia Têxtil da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). A antena foi dimensionada através do modelo da linha de transmissão em programa desenvolvido na linguagem Fortran de acordo com as propriedades elétricas dos substratos têxteis. Posteriormente a antena foi desenhada e simulada no HFSS® (High Frequency Structural Simulator), onde serão obtidos os diagramas de radiação, perda de retorno, densidade de corrente e ganho. O melhor resultado simulado foi implementado com o tecido de malha disposto numa estrutura de três camadas de acordo com as dimensões projetadas e, em seguida, a antena foi testada através de um analisador de espectro, onde foram coletados dados que permitiram a confecção da carta de Smith e gráfico da perda de retorno. Os dados experimentais foram comparados com os simulados e, os resultados analisados de acordo com a literatura especializada que embasam este trabalho

Abstract:
L'utilisation des microcapsules fabriquées à partir de matériaux respectueux de l'environnement pour des applications textiles médicales a été étudiée et développée fortement au cours des dernières années. Le but de cette thèse est d'élaborer les textiles anti-inflammatoires à base de microcapsules respectueuses de l'environnement, utilisant trois types de matériaux textiles (coton, peco 65/35 et polyester) et cinq niveaux de longueur de boucle (2.81, 2.83, 2.87, 2,96 et 3,05 mm) sur étoffes tricotées à verrouillage de coton (nombre de fils Ne40). Les influences de la concentration en saponine, de la vitesse d'agitation au cours de l'étape d'émulsification et du volume d'éthyle acétate ajouté à la phase aqueuse sur les caractéristiques des microcapsules ont été étudiées. L'étude a également étudié les effets du rapport massique du coton et de la longueur de boucle des étoffes tricotées sur la distribution des microcapsules, la capacité de chargement des microcapsules et la capacité de libération de l'ibuprofène des étoffes tricotées traités par microcapsules. Les microcapsules d'Eudragit RSPO contenant de l'ibuprofène ont été élaborées par la technique d'évaporation de solvant, en utilisant le tensioactif bio-sourcé quillaja saponine et le solvant non halogéné d'éthyle acétate. Les microcapsules obtenues présentaient les formes sphériques avec un diamètre d (0,5) de 21,5 μm, approprié pour les applications textiles. Il a été trouvé que, pour empêcher la déformation des microcapsules pendant la traitement du textile, la séchage doit être effectuée sous vide à 45 ° C. Lorsque le rapport de teneur en fibres de coton dans le tissu augmentait, la distribution des microcapsules était moins régulière, ce qui entraînait un taux de libération plus faible de l'ibuprofène à partir des étoffes tricotées traités aux microcapsules. En outre, lorsque la longueur de la boucle augmente, la capacité de chargement des microcapsules des étoffes tricotées traités augmente, la distribution des microcapsules sur le tissu devient moins régulière et la vitesse de libération de l'ibuprofène des tissus traités aux microcapsules diminue. De plus, l'augmentation de l'extension du étoffes tricotées a favorisé la libération d'ibuprofène à partir des étoffes tricotées traités par les microcapsules à travers la peau de porc
The use of the microcapsules made from eco-friendly materials for medical textile applications has been researched and developed strongly in recent years. The aim of this thesis is to elaborate the anti-inflammatory textiles basing on eco-friendly microcapsules,using three kinds of textile materials (cotton, peco 65/35 and polyester)and five levels of the loop length (2.81, 2.83, 2.87, 2.96 and 3.05 mm) on the cotton interlock knitted fabrics (yarn count Ne40). The influences of the saponin concentration, the stirring rate during the emulsification step and the volume of ethyl acetate added to the aqueous phase on the characteristics of the microcapsules were studied. The influence of condition in drying on microcapsule’s morphology was also investigated.The thesis also researched the effects of cotton mass ratio and loop length of fabric on the microcapsule distribution, the microcapsule loading capability and the release capability of ibuprofen from the microcapsule treated fabrics. The Eudragit RSPO microcapsules containing ibuprofen were successfully elaborated by solvent evaporation technique, using the bio-sourced surfactant quillajasaponin and the non-halogenated solvent ethyl acetate. The obtained microcapsules exhibited the spherical shapes with d(0.5) diameter of 21.5 m, suitable for the textile applications. It was found that in order to keep the microcapsules from deformation during the textile finishing, the drying stage should be carried out in vacuum at 45oC. When the content ratio of cotton fibers in the fabric increased,the microcapsule distribution was less even, resulting in the lower release rate of ibuprofen from the microcapsule-treated fabrics. Besides, when the loop length increased, the microcapsule loading capability of the treated fabrics increased, the microcapsule distribution on the fabric became less even and the release rate of ibuprofen from the microcapsule-treated fabrics decreased. Furthermore, increasing the fabric extension favored the release of ibuprofen from the microcapsule-treated fabrics through the pigskin

Abstract:
Dans le cadre de cette recherche, nous avons étudié l'effet de divers paramètres d'influençant le comportement d’un non-tissé Vertilap®3D à faible impact. Ce matériau a été développé pour la protection du corps humain. Ce nouveau produit textile offre les meilleures solutions de résistance aux chocs à basse vitesse, pour combler le vide des produits concurrents sur le marché, dans le domaine de la protection individuelle. À cet égard, une nouvelle structure fibreuse tridimensionnelle (3D) en matériau polyester (PET) a été développée pour enrichir ou remplacer la gamme de produits de protection. Ces nouvelles structures fibreuses 3D fabriquées sont stratifiées avec des non-tissés aiguilletées et thermoliés. Les feuilles sont en 100% PET, pour obtenir un produit monocomposant. Pour la caractérisation des propriétés physiques et mécaniques de ces nouvelles structures fibreuses 3D, des méthodes d'essais doivent être développées. Sur la base des spécifications de protection du corps humain, une méthodologie a été mise en place pour tester le comportement à l’impact de ces nouveaux produits. Afin de répondre à la question des produits existants et de leur remplacement, certains produits en tricot chaine ont également été caractérisés, et des comparaisons avec d'autres produits ont été faites.Les résultats de cette étude montrent que les non-tissés Vertilap® peuvent être utilisés comme un matériau efficace pour la protection du corps humain contre les chocs en raison de leur grande capacité d'absorption d'énergie à différents stades d'impact. Les non-tissés 3D Vertilap® étudiés permettent de réduire d'environ 44% la profondeur de déformation et de 70% le volume de déformation en fonction du diamètre de l'impacteur et de l'énergie à l’impact.Les propriétés de la nouvelle structure fibreuse 3D sont intéressantes en termes de comportement d'impact par rapport aux tricots chaine. Ces résultats sont des informations importantes pour la conception de Vertilap® pour des applications d'amortissement et de protection dans les vêtements de protection et les semelles de chaussures, etc.Il y a deux volets de ce travail dans cette thèse. Le premier volet de ce travail présente la partie de recherche bibliographique et le deuxième volet à ce travail est basé sur la caractérisation du comportement et les performances à l’impact de la nouvelle structure Vertilap®.Ces performances seront étudiées, par deux méthodes spécialement développées dans le cadre de ces travaux en premier lieu, et puis une étude comparative, entre cette nouvelle structure fibreuse et un autre produit connu sur le marché par sa capacité de protection, sera menée en deuxième lieux, afin de positionner les performances de ce nouveau produit en termes d eprotection humaine
As part of this research, we investigated the effect of various influence parameters on low-impact Vertilap® non-woven behavior. This material has been developped for the protection of the human body. This new textile product offers the best low-speed impact resistance solutions to fill the gap of competing products on the market, in the field of personal protection. In this respect, a new three-dimensional (3D) fibrous structure made of polyester (PET) material has been developed to enrich or replace the range of protective products. These new 3D fabricated fibrous structures are laminated with needled and spunbonded sheets. The leaves are 100%PET, to obtain a single-component product. Characterization of the physical and mechanical properties of these new 3D fibrous structures, test methods must be developed. Based on human body protection specifications, a methodology has been put in place to test the impact behavior of these new products. In order to answer the replacement question, typical warp knit products were also characterized, and comparisons with other products were made.The results of this study show that Vertilap® nonwovens can be used as an effective material for the protection of the human body because of their high energy absorption capacity at different stages of impact. The studied Vertilap® non-wovens reduce the deformation depth by approximately 44% and the deformation volume by 70% depending on the impact or diameter and the impact energy. The properties of the new 3D fibrous structure are interesting in terms of impact behavior compared to knitted warp fabrics. These results are important requirements for the design of Vertilap® for cushioning and protection applications in protective clothing, shoe soles, etc.There are two parts in this thesis. The first part of the work presents the bibliographic research part and the second part of the work is based on characterization of the behavior and impact performance of the new Vertilap® structure. These performances will be studied, by two methods specially developed as part of this work in the first place, and then a comparative study between this new fibrous structure and another product known on the market, by its protection capacity will be conducted in second place, to position performance in terms of human protection

With rapid advances in modern technologies, textiles nowadays are already transformed from traditional ones into functional ones which passively react to environmental changes (such as keeping warm, deodorization, moisture absorption, and sweat-shifting) and put emphasis on health and recreation as well as personalization. This study takes “sound” as the medium between human beings and textiles, and interactions are hoped to be achieved through sound variation created by body activities. In terms of experiments, the first stage is to conduct an initial stress-resistance test with the knitted fabrics made of conductive fiber yarns; the second stage is streth tests on single threads of conductive fiber yarns, streth tests of double rings of conductive fiber yarns, and repeated stretch test of conductive knitted fabrics; and the third stage is a sound controller test by conductive knitted fabric. Based on those experiments, the conclusions are as follows: (a)The result of stretch tests on conductive fiber yarns show that the longer the stretching length is, the higher the resistance value tends to be. Moreover, the strain-resistance variation of conductive yarns tends to be nonlinear exponential. (b)The result of stretch tests on double rings of conductive fiber yarns show that with the initial stretching length of 2mm, the resistance value tends to decrease due to the lower contact resistance between two stretching yarn rings. With an increase in the stretching length, the longer the stretching length is, the higher the resistance value tends to be. (c)The result of repeated stretch tests on conductive knitted fabrics show that in terms of strain-resistance variation, the longer the stretching length is, the lower the resistance value tends to be; on the contrary, in terms of recovery-resistance variation, the shorter the stretching length is, the higher the resistance value tends to be. (d)Regarding the sound controller test by the conductive knitted fabrics, a sound-controlled glove model, which is an integration of the conductive knitted fabrics and a sound-controlled device, is used to conduct the test. The result shows that preset sound effects can be produced in accordance with corresponding hand motions. Thus, this test confirms the feasibility of applying the conductive knitted fabrics to electronic textile in the future.
