  Analyzing the Role of Fiber Composition in Drying Behavior: A Comparative and Predictive Approach

  By Avi Sahal, Manoj Soni, Meera Parida, Pratitee Satpathy, Srishti Narayan Yadav

  Abstract: This research presents a comprehensive analysis of the drying behavior and thermal response of three distinct fabric types: 100% Cotton, 100% Polyester, and a Polyester blend (65/35), under meticulously controlled environmental conditions. The Polyester blend (65/35) consists of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, combining characteristics of both fibers. The investigation focuses on understanding how fiber composition impacts drying time, moisture retention, and thermal characteristics. Experimental trials were conducted using standardized …

  Viscoelastic Behavior and Wrinkle Formation in Cotton- Polyester Garments: A Data-Driven Approach for Textile Care

  By Patil Naomi Sachin, Vrishti Garg, Manoj Soni, Khushi Kumari, Aliza

  Abstract: This study investigates the wrinkle behavior of cotton-polyester blended fabrics by analyzing data from over 1,200 store-handled garments. Integrating concepts from polymer chemistry and computer vision, it aims to establish a smart textile care framework based on fiber-specific wrinkle characteristics. The research identifies how cotton’s hydrophilic and non-elastic structure results in increased wrinkling, while polyester’s thermoplastic and crystalline properties enhance wrinkle resistance. Elastomeric fibers like Lycra contribute to wrinkle recovery …
