• Maryline Lewandowski

• To learn the main tests for textile characterization: methods, apparatus, standards and norms.
• Acquisition of practical experience in textile metrology. Measurement and results analysis.

Basic knowledge in textile technology

TP1: Fibre fineness evaluation: of wool (Air Flow), cotton (Micronaire Sheffield), and man-made fibre (Vibroscope)

TP2: Tensile Properties of Textile Materials: study of tensile behaviour of fibres, yarns, and fabrics

TP3: Microscopic Analysis of textiles:

• different fibres in longitudinal and cross-sectional analysis
• yarns of different structures : open-end, carded, combed, Dref …

TP4: Basic Properties of Fabrics: study of the basic characteristics of a fabric (basis weight, thickness…), and some common properties such as air/water permeabilities, or abrasion resistance

TP5: Basic Properties of Yarns: study of the basic characteristics of yarns (yarn count (linear density), evenness, twist, and hairiness)

TP6: Nonwoven properties: To determine some characteristic properties of nonwoven fabrics using EDANA or World Strategic Partners (WSP) standards.
