[1] For a wide variety of envisioned applications in space exploration, energy-efficient aircraft, and armor, materials must be significantly stronger, stiffer, and lighter than what is currently available. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extremely high strength, [2–5] very high stiffness, [6,7] low density, good chemical stability, and high thermal and electrical conductivities. [8] These superior properties make CNTs very attractive for many structural applications and technologies. Here we report CNT fibers that are many times stronger and stiffer per weight than the best existing engineering fibers and over twenty times better than other reported CNT fibers. Additionally, our CNT fibers are nonbrittle and tough, making them far superior to existing materials for preventing catastrophic failure. These new CNT fibers will not only make tens of thousands of products stronger, lighter, safer, and more energy efficient, but they will also bring to fruition many envisioned technologies that have been to date unavailable because of material restrictions. Strong, stiff, and lightweight are critical property requirements for materials that are used in the construction of space shuttles, airplanes, and space structures. These properties are assessed by a material’s specific strength and specific stiffness, which are defined as the strength or stiffness (Young’s modulus) of a material divided by its density. [9] The combination of high strength, high stiffness, and low density affords CNTs with extremely high values for specific strength and specific stiffness. The most effective way to utilize these properties is to assemble CNTs into fibers. However, despite extensive worldwide efforts to date, the specific strength and specific stiffness of CNT fibers that have been reported by various research groups are much lower than currently available commercial fibers. [10–22] In early studies, researchers attempted to reinforce polymer fibers with short CNTs, but the reinforcement was limited by several issues, including poor dispersion, poor alignment, poor load transfer, and a low CNT volume fraction. [10–15] Recently, pure CNT fibers (also called yarns) were reported with and without twisting. [16–22] For example, Zhang et al. [20] demonstrated that spinning from aligned CNT}, number={23}, journal={ADVANCED MATERIALS}, author={Zhang, Xiefei and Li, Qingwen and Holesinger, Terry G. and Arendt, Paul N. and Huang, Jianyu and Kirven, P.

Felled seams are commonly found in commercial products, such as apparel garments, parachutes, tenting and geotextiles. The felled seam can be improperly formed during the seaming process, producing defects that may not be detected by visual inspection. The felled seam monitoring device ensures the detection of a faulty felled seam during the seam formation process. The design focuses on the utilization of inexpensive electronic technology and analysis of displacement-based sampling techniques to meet apparel manufacturer’s design specifications. }, number={1}, journal={TRANSACTIONS OF THE INSTITUTE OF MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL}, author={Clapp, TG and Martin, BR}, year={2002}, pages={51–64} }

An economically feasible on-line stitch quality monitoring system is under development that utilizes commercially-available, low-cost piezoelectric sensors and a PC-based Linux data acquisition system. The sensors respond to the vibration caused by the thread motion and output a corresponding waveform used to study and model the formation of single stitches. As a result, the presence of periodic occurrences can be identified and attributed to proper stitch formation. Conversely, the absence of such events can be utilized to signal the presence of single stitch defects and diagnose their causes. Finally, high speed image analysis of the sewing threads has verified conclusions drawn from the output signals of the piezoelectric sensors and contributed to a better understanding of the dynamics involved in high speed sewing.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF MANUFACTURING SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING-TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASME}, author={Cox, RN and Titus, KJ and Clapp, TG}, year={1999}, month={Feb}, pages={104–108} }

The fundamentals of beta-particle transmission radio gauges are discussed in the context of their applicability to textile materials, and preliminary results are obtained with a laboratory prototype device. Unknown sample thicknesses for a variety of woven and knit fabrics are determined from the counting rate intensities of radiation transmitted through the fabric and the experimentally derived areal density. Single-fold knit hems and felled denim seams are evaluated by the gauge system. Results indicate that the number of layers present within the hem or seam can be rapidly and accurately determined to assess seam quality. }, number={1}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Titus, KJ and Clapp, TG and Zhu, Z and Gardner, RP}, year={1997}, month={Jan}, pages={23–34} }

The purpose of the research reported in this paper is to develop and validate a computer model for predicting fabric-deformation behaviour during automated handling, given experimentally measured fabric properties. A computer program is developed, on the basis of Konopasek's theoretical formulation for solving large-deflexion fabric-bending problems, to simulate the laying of fabric on a table by means of a robot manipulator. Experimental data are collected for actual bending shapes of selected apparel fabrics and compared with theoretical data generated by the numerical solution of the mathematical model. The results demonstrate the ability of the model to predict large deformations of typical apparel fabrics with a part size of up to 10 cm in length.
