Production & performance of technical textiles

• Maryline Rochery, François Boussu, Stéphane Giraud

KNITTING PART (CM:4H ; TP:9H)

to work out, carry out, create knitted technical textiles from a precise schedule of conditions.

• To know the technical English vocabulary,
• To write a schedule of functional and technical conditions
• To hold a technical discussion with a schedule of conditions (supplier/specialist/technical personnel)
• To adapt a machine for a particular need
• To control the properties and technical applications in knitting
• To control the properties of technical knittings (weight with the m ², dimensional stability, thermal behaviour, resistance to the cut, the perforation…)

WEAVING PART (CM:3H ; TP:6H)

• to know the basic knowledge of Jacquard Fabric design and production
• to design and produce a double face weft fabric

KNITTING PART

• Good knowledge of acquired notions about weft stitch (TEXT01, MAIL01, MAIL02 ) and yarn (FILA01)

KNITTING PART

• Choice of existing technical knitted fabrics or of new knitted fabrics with high performance fibres to get interesting properties in thermal behaviour, cut resistance or stab resistance

WEAVING PART

• good knowledge of the fabric's fundamentals (weave diagrams, peg plan, technical datasheet)

KNITTING PART

Practical works

WEAVING PART

Teaching courses (course 1 on Jacquard Fabric and course 2 on double weft fabric) and practical works (exercise 1 on Jacquard ribbon and exercise 2 on double weft weaving structure)

KNITTING PART

The assessment is made during practical workshops by a technical report which includes the carrying out of knitted fabrics from a precise schedule of conditions and the results of measurements of characterization (cut or perforation or thermal behaviour)

WEAVING PART

Achievement of a Jacquard ribbon on the weaving machine and production of a double weft fabric on hand insertion weaving loom
