?
smart
a smart material is defined as one which is able to react to external stimulus/ changes in the environment without human intervention

5 times stronger then steel, it also has advantages of being lightweight as well as flame and chemical resistant.
14 of 39
nomex
is highly fire and chemical retardant as well as being lightweight, strong and good for electrical insulator
15 of 39
micro-fibre
60 to 100 time finer than a human hair. they can be blended with synthetic or natural fibres and are used for clothing for outdoor pursuits and active sportswear. thermoplastic polyester or nylon micro-fibres can be heat-treated,
16 of 39
stomex
this mimics transpiration in plants it is used for knee supports. it maintains a perfect micro-climate
17 of 39
coolmax
this fabric wicks away moisture from the body to help keep you cool. it is used mattress, sportswear and underwear.
18 of 39
high viability
this fabric uses glass bead technology to reflect a light source back to a persons eye so that it can be seen in the dark.
19 of 39
Teflon
a fluorochemical finish satin repellent.
20 of 39
dope/spin dyeing
dye is added to the spin solution before man-made fibres are spun together, good light and wash fastness
21 of 39
stock dyeing
loose fibres are dyed before they are spun into yarns cheap to achieve. imperfections can be hidden in the spinning process
22 of 39
yarn dyeing
yarns are dyed before they are made into a fabric special effect can be created such as stripes/ checks
23 of 39
piece dyeing
woven/ knitted fabrics are dyed in one piece cheapest method. affects such as tie dye can be achieved
24 of 39
garment dyeing
made up garments are dyed as required. colour can be applied last minute to meet trends. special effects can be placed on particular parts of the garment i.e. dip dyeing
25 of 39
raising
goes through a brushing machine to get the best finish. raising fabrics surface treated sharp teeth. ad- warm dis-weakness fabric
26 of 39
calendering
stretches fabric out so it goes nice and soft. passes through several rolls that are heated. improves hand smooth silk touch.
27 of 39
embossing
stretch fanric but the rollers have a pattern so it leaves a pattern once rolled.
28 of 39
heat setting
for thermoplastic fabrics, the fabrics are set in permanent shape of pleats, gathers using steam.
29 of 39
shrinking
sanforization with cotton stretching, shrinking and fixing the woven cloth in both length and width, before cutting and producing tho reduce the shrinkage which would other wise occur after washing.
30 of 39
beetling
to linen fabric and to cotton fabric. produce hard, flat surface high luster less pours. it dampened would around an iron cylinder passed through machine it is pounded with heavy wooden mallet
31 of 39
stone and sand washing
it gives and aged look and makes denim softer and more flexible they use to use stones and sand but now us perlite
32 of 39
water repellency
not good as goretex. used with breathable fabrics such as goretex. chemical finish i pured
33 of 39
stain resistance
can be a spray able. nano technology make thing wicked of fabric to repel stains. treated acid -baked
34 of 39
flame resistant
chemical coating provide protection. chemical reacting by producing non-combustible gases that prohibits spread of fibre. proban
35 of 39
anti-static
range of specialized antristre fibre lubricant for the woolen and semi worsted system
36 of 39
moth-proofing
preigon moth proofing agent. -per-metering based moth proofing -spray of foam mostly wool fibres
37 of 39
hygienic (sanitized)
applied to fabric surface to slow sown the growth of bacteria. they control odours in sport shoes and reduce infection in medical products/
