Article Synopsis
  • Elastane fibers are crucial in making elastic yarn, and this research focuses on innovative methods to create hybrid yarns with dual cores.
  • A modified pulley system was developed to insert core elements alongside traditional methods during yarn production, using various materials like cotton, PBT, and elastane.
  • The results show that inserting core components side by side improves the yarn's strength, elongation, and reduces hairiness, indicating a successful new technique for producing higher quality hybrid yarns.

Textile industries are now focusing on sustainable issues in manufacturing operations to save the environment. The study focuses on the use of cotton fibers (recycled) sourced from fabric (knitted) waste (pre-consumer) to manufacture elastic yarn (dual-core) for denim fabric. The study involves the production of yarns (dual-core) using a redesigned ring spinning method with different elastomeric components, including T400® (Polyethylene terephthalate)/Polytrimethylene terephthalate), Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), Polyester (PES), Lycra® (elastane), virgin cotton and cotton (recycled) fiber.

Hydrogels prepared with natural and synthetic polymers were found to be applicable for the development of resistance against some Gram positive and negative bacterial species. Numerous studies have shown that chitosan polymers can be advantageous to be used in medicine due to their high antibacterial activity. In this study, biocompatible yellow cantorone oil doped hydrogels (chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) based) with antimicrobial properties were synthesized.
