TERRY TOWEL IN BANGLADESH
Terry towel is one of the fast growing and challenging sub sector of the textile sector of Bangladesh. Bath robes, hand towel, kitchen towel etc. are the products from terry in one word. Demand of these products is increasing very fast globally and also significantly day by day in the local market. Consumers pay on an average $7 for bath towel and their households in America. In last decades, the importance of this sector has been increased enormously with the incremental global demand. As Bangladesh is one of the major terry products exporting country among the terry manufacturing countries of the world. This report covers a details study about terry towel including manufacturing process, classsification and physical properties export import volume of terry towel.
Three- Dimensional Design of Terry Fabrics
Woven terry fabrics are of the most popular fabrics that are used for home textiles. Although the fabrics popularity, they have a classical view in textile market. This is owing to their conventional methods of production. The classical view of terry fabrics may affect their ability to compete other fabrics in local and international market. With developing novel techniques in the production of terry fabrics, innovative vision can be obtained. The innovative vision of terry fabric design can raise its ability to compete other fabrics and flourish the market of exports. This research concerns with developing a novel method in the production of terry fabrics. Designing of three- dimensional terry was developed in this research. The three- dimensional effect in the produced fabrics was obtained by the designing of 3-D artwork terry. While the produced fabrics have two dimensions, they give an illusion of three- dimensions by creating a visual deception of space or shallow depth. The produced fabrics in this research were evaluated by using a qualitative methodology. A questionnaire was employed, and data were collected and analyzed to assess whether there is a difference of opinions among participants. The results of the questionnaire showed that the three- dimensional effect was obtained in the produced fabrics, and hence, a novel vision of terry fabric design with novel aesthetical values was accomplished.
Measurement and Theory of Absorbency of Cotton Fabrics
High and uniform absorbency of cotton fabrics is a desirable quality in nearly every wet- finishing operation and in many finished fabrics; yet absorbency-measuring tests which have been employed up to the present time are largely inadequate and arbitrary. A test method is described here which is more suitable in that it meets the requirements of wetting the fabric quickly from one side while it is under pressure and allowing the comparison of different fabrics in a readily understandable manner. Using a glass filtering funnel to provide a wet porous plate and a flowmeter for measuring rates, the apparatus is easily assembled and calibrated. The test is simple and rapid and per mits numerical evaluation of both rate of absorption and total or ultimate absorption, largely independently of apparatus characteristics. The separate evaluation of these absorbency factors and the elimination of timing procedures set this test apart from those previously published. The method is readily adaptable to the investigation of many liquid-absorbent relationships. Application of the test to the evaluation of absorbency of purified cotton fabrics has led to a plausible explanation of their absorption behavior as being due largely to spaces within the fabric rather than to absorption characteristics of the fiber itself.
