2. Textile stabilization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_stabilization

   Slip-stitch is used to secure a backing fabric and is nearly invisible on the right side of the fabric. Herringbone embroidery embellishment on waistband. Couching is the most commonly used stitching method in textile stabilization. Torn, frayed, or weak areas can be secured to a support fabric with couching. [12]

3. Finishing (textiles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finishing_(textiles)

   Textile finishing machinery, Red Bridge Mills, Ainsworth, 1983 In textile manufacturing, finishing refers to the processes that convert the woven or knitted cloth into a usable material and more specifically to any process performed after dyeing the yarn or fabric to improve the look, performance, or "hand" (feel) of the finish textile or clothing.

4. Heatsetting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heatsetting

   Heat setting is a term used in the textile industry to describe a thermal process usually taking place in either a steam atmosphere or a dry heat environment. The effect of the process gives fibers, yarns or fabric dimensional stability and, very often, other desirable attributes like higher volume, wrinkle resistance or temperature resistance.

5. Polyvinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_alcohol

   Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer.It has the idealized formula [CH 2 CH(OH)] n.It is used in papermaking, textile warp sizing, as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer in polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) adhesive formulations, in a variety of coatings, and 3D printing.

6. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

   Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

7. Wet process engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_process_engineering

   The purposes of calendering are to upgrade the fabric hand and to impart a smooth, silky touch to the fabric, to compress the fabric and reduce its thickness, to improve the opacity of the fabric, to reduce the air permeability of the fabric by changing its porosity, to impart different degree of luster of the fabric, and to reduce the yarn ...

8. Textile design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_design

   Textile design, also known as textile geometry, is the creative and technical process by which thread or yarn fibers are interlaced to form a piece of cloth or fabric, which is subsequently printed upon or otherwise adorned. [1]

9. Photo-oxidation of polymers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers

   For example, the tensile behavior can be elucidated through measuring the stress–strain curve for a specimen. This stress–strain curve is created by applying a tensile stress (which is measured as the force per area applied to a sample face) and measuring the corresponding strain (the fractional change in length).
