This paper sets out to provide an overview of the current state of the art in design for the creation of industrial objects that take advantage of the latest innovations regarding the electronic 3D knitting processes. The analysis stems from a desire to illustrate the great importance of fabrics for technical applications and of design for industrial textile products. Specifically, it focuses on the evolution of two-dimensional and three-dimensional fabrics as well as on three-dimensional knitting or smart knitting technologies. The issue is explored in relation to the difference between 3D knitting and 3D weaving technologies with the aim of demonstrating the broad scope of application in different areas of design, no longer pertaining to fashion and clothing alone. The paper will conclude by showing that fabrics, especially those produced by smart knitting, hold great promise and advantages not only in the field of clothing but also in the field of industrial design in terms of both performance and production processes.
The popularity of using natural fibres such as jute has kept on increasing not only because of environmental awareness but also thanks to their unique properties, ease of availability in different parts of the world as well as their low cost. Jute yarns have been used for a very long time to make woven structures. Jute is nowadays used in composite matrices in the form of fibre, yarn and fabric. Little research has been done into the conversion of jute into knitted structures. The latter has a lot of potential in different applications where extensibility is required. Raw jute yarns have a high coefficient of friction and significant hairiness and these drawbacks make the yarns very difficult to knit. During the formation of double-knit rib structures on the knitting machines, the needles have to overcome yarn-to-yarn friction as well as machine-to-yarn frictions in order to achieve interlooping of yarns. The study shows that treating jute yarns to improve its surface frictional properties and hairiness can significantly improve its knittability. The right yarn-count and machine-gauge combination is also important to achieve low rate of defects during the knitting process. The tightness factor of the resulting double-knit structures is higher than that of plain fabrics. The strength of jute fibres and yarns coupled with the potential of knitted structures to form extensible and 3D structures on modern flat-knitting machines will undoubtedly open new avenues for further research with knitted jute structures.
The tensile properties such as tensile strength which is measured as breaking force in Newton (N) and elongation percent at break of single jersey and (knitted with full needles) knitted fabrics made from 100% cotton and cotton/Lycra yarns (5% Lycra yarn content in 95% combed cotton yarn) are investigated in this research. The sample fabrics are conditioned for 24 hours at °C temperature and % relative humidity before testing. Ten specimens (five for lengthwise and five for widthwise) have been taken from each of the two knitted structures, those made from 100% cotton and cotton/Lycra yarns. According to the discussion and as found from the investigations, the tensile properties of single jersey and knitted fabrics made from 100% cotton and cotton/Lycra yarns are significantly different from each other and both of the knitted fabrics have high elongation percent at break with cotton/Lycra blend yarns as compared to 100% cotton yarn. Knitted fabrics made from cotton/Lycra blended yarn have low breaking force and high elongation percent at break relative to knitted fabrics made from 100% cotton yarns.
Yarns of warp beams to knit on warp knitting machines need to be wound at equal tensions. The tension variations lead to produce valleys and ridges of warp yarns on the beam and hence different lengths of individual warp yarns. These length variations lead to loop length variations in warp knitted fabrics and may cause defects along the wales. This research aimed at investigating the warp length variations caused by tension variations and its effect on the quality of the fabrics knitted. Tension variations of individual warp yarns on warp beams for warp knitting were examined. 16% of warp yarns were outside the permissible tension range in practical environment. The length measurements of 1128 individual yarns of a warp beam show that 0-1.7% length variations exist among the yarns. The fabrics knitted at different tension values ranging from 4cN to 20cN show 6.6% increase in wale density. Although the fabric weight variation is below 5%, the microscopic view of the fabrics shows significant change in the size of loops and rupture of filaments. This has caused visual colour difference in the fabric.

La Trinité divinisatrice. Le salut comme divinisation trinitaire chez Thomas d’Aquin et Charles Journet2022 •
La dimension trinitaire est essentielle à la compréhension du salut comme “divinisation” ou “déification”. Dans une première partie, cette étude présente la doctrine trinitaire de la divinisation chez saint Thomas d’Aquin: l’accomplissement eschatologique de la divinisation, l’Esprit Saint comme Don, les missions trinitaires, l’image de la Trinité et la participation à la communion trinitaire. La seconde partie est consacrée à Charles Journet, qui a prêté une remarquable attention aux aspects trinitaires de la divinisation. Journet reprend la pensée de saint Thomas de manière plus étendue et avec des accents propres. L’exposé se concentre sur les aspects nouveaux développés par Journet, témoignant d’une pensée très riche et profonde sur le salut comme divinisation trinitaire.
