1.hi tech textile Introduction
Friction (DREF) spinning system is an Open-end and or Core sheath type of spinning system. Along with the frictional forces in the spinning zone the yarn formation takes place. The DREF spinning system is used to produce yarns with high delivery rate(about 300mpm). Still it has to gain its importance with the growth along with hi tech textile technical textiles in India. Amongst the spinning systems, DREF provides a good platform for production of core spun yarns due its spinning principle.It offers less spinning tension to the core and core will be positioned exactly at the centre of the yarn.
Development of DREF core-spun yarns unveils a path for new products including high performance textiles, sewing threads and in the apparels due to its exceptional strength, outstanding abrasion resistance, consistence performance in sewing operation, adequate elasticity for the stretch requirements, excellent resistance to perspiration, ideal wash and wear performance and permanent press. hi tech textile
2.0 Principle of Friction (DREF) spinning hi tech textile Systems
The friction spinning system consists of opening & individualization of fibres from slivers, reassembling of individualized fibres, twisting and winding of yarn. The figure 1 describes the DREF spinning principle where the opened fibres made roll with an aid of a mechanical roller for reassembling and twisting. Due to separate yarn winding and method of twist insertion, it has hi tech textile capability to go for high production rate.
2.1. DREF-1
DREF-1 friction spinning system was developed in 1973 by Dr.Fehrer.A.G. of Austria.The schematic diagram of DREF 1 spinner is shown in the figure 2.The fibres were opened with an opening roller and allowed to fall on a single perforated cylindrical drum slot ,which has negative pressure for fibre collection.The hi tech textile rotation of the drum impart twist to fibre assembly [1].
The ratio of perforated drum to yarn surface is very large, hence the drum speed can be kept relatively low, even if one takes the unavoidable slippage into account [2]. Due to the absence of positive control over the fibres assembly, slippage occurred between the fibre assembly and perforated roller, which reduced twist efficiency of hi tech textile . Hence this development could not be commercialized.
2.2. DREF-2
This is the development with earlier machine. DREF-2 was exhibited in the year 1975 at ITMA exhibition. The feasibility of using two perforated rotating cylinders, (as fibre collecting means), while at the same time the spinning-in of fibres into yarn occurred [3]. It operates on the basis of mechanical/aerodynamic spinning system with an internal suction and same direction of drums rotation [4]. The schematic diagram of the DREF-2 friction spinner is shown in the figure3. Drafted slivers are opened into individual fibres by a rotating carding drum covered with saw tooth type wire clothing. The individualized fibres are stripped off from the carding drum by centrifugal force supported by an air stream from the blower and transported into the nip of two perforated friction drums where they are held by suction. The fibres are sub-sequentially twisted by mechanical friction on the surface of the drums. Suction through the perforations of the drums assists this process besides helping in the removal of dust and dirt, thereby contributing to production of cleaner yarn [5]. The hi tech textile low yarn strength and the requirement of more number of fibres in yarn cross-section(minimum 80-100 fibres) were restricted the DREF-2 spinning with coarser counts (0.3-6s Ne).
2.3. DREF-3
The DREF-3 machine is the next version of DREF 2 for improving the yarn quality came to the market in the year 1981.Yarns up to 18s Ne. can be spun thro this hi tech textile system.
This is a core-sheath type spinning arrangement. The sheath fibres are attached to the core fibres by the false twist generated by the rotating action of drums. Two drafting units are used in this system, one for the core fibres and other for the sheath fibres. This system produces a variety of core-sheath type structures and multi-component yarns, through selective combination and placement of different materials in core and sheath. Delivery rate is about 300 m/min. DREF 3 schematic diagram is shown in the hi tech textile figure 4.
2.4. DREF-5
It was developed by Schalafhorst, Suessen and Fehrer Inc. The range of count to be spun from this system is from 16�s to 40�s Ne.Production speed is up to 200m/min.The schematic diagram of the DREF 5 is shown in the figure 5. The individualized fibres from a single sliver are fed through a fibre duct into the spinning nip at an angle to the yarn axis, so that they are stretched as far as possible, when fed into the nip[7]. This hi tech textile spinning system was not commercialized due to some reasons.

Vestagen Technical Textiles announces its inaugural participation in the 50th annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) this week, hosted by The American Society for Microbiology. Vestagen will exhibit its fluid repellant Vestex™ performance medical apparel at the conference, which will also be the subject of a poster session with Dr. Ruta Dubinskaite. Textile & apparel fair information
Vestex uses exclusively licensed and patented technology to repel blood and bodily fluids, wick away perspiration and contains an antimicrobial to control odors. The innovative, nanotechnology-based uniforms keep healthcare workers clean, cool and dry. Textile & apparel fair information
Earlier this year, a research team led by Dr. Ruta Dubinskaite, Margaret Cotton, Dr. Christopher Gibson, Dr. Thomas Walsh, Dr. Shmuel Shoham and Dr. Matthew Hardwick tested Vestex in emergency rooms and critical care departments where splashes and splatters of bodily fluids are daily occurrences. To evaluate the impact of Vestex fabric treatment on healthcare worker clothing, doctors tested shirts with one half control fabric and one half Vestex fabric Textile & apparel fair information.
Twenty-nine shirts were autoclaved and given to health care workers in the emergency and critical care departments at Washington Hospital Center. Workers wore the scrub shirts for one eight- to 12-hour shift. Shirt microbial contamination was assessed at baseline and at the end of the shift by swabbing 12 distinct areas of the garments for culture. Total colony counts of cultures from each shirt compared the Vestex treated portion to the untreated portion. Overall, the Vestex-treated portion of the scrub shirts had fewer pathogens at the end of the shift than the control fabric. Researchers concluded that there is, “a strong trend suggesting that Vestex treated garments are more effective at reducing microbial burden than control fabric.” Textile & apparel fair information
“The results are encouraging and add to the clinical and laboratory evidence base for Vestex,” says Ben Favret, president and CEO of Vestagen. Textile & apparel fair information
Engineered as a first line of defense against blood and other bodily fluids, Vestex comes at a time when the nation’s healthcare industry is on high alert. Mounting data suggests that microbial contamination can occur via the physical transfer of microorganisms from textiles such as scrubs, lab coats and bed linens. Textile & apparel fair information
“It’s well documented in the medical literature that fluid barriers protect workers in a clinical setting, but most of them are hot and uncomfortable to wear,” Favret adds. “Vestex is a breathable, comfortable solution, yet maintains the barrier protection workers need to stay safe.”
As an innovator in infectious disease prevention and patient safety, the University of South Florida College of Medicine's Division of Infectious Disease and International Medicine is instituting high-tech, fluid repellant Vestex™ lab coats for its physicians and advanced clinical staff. Engineered as a first line of defense against blood and other bodily fluids, Vestex will help prevent contamination of clothing in healthcare textiles. Textile & apparel fair information
"We are committed to excellence in healthcare and that begins with safety for our patients and our employees," says John Sinnott, MD, FACP, FISDA, associate dean and division director. "As the latest advance in textile technology, Vestex will be another instrument in our quest for innovation. This is the next step in our mission to be an internationally outstanding academic center and resource for infectious disease identification, prevention and treatment issues."
As the principal infectious disease organization in Florida, the division conducts research, analyzes infectious disease policies, and provides clinical care and training to healthcare workers both locally and throughout the world.

Abstract hi tech history
The discrepancy of performance among competitive athletes is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore wearing high tech textile could help to get advantage over competitors. For this reason a lot of investigation has been done on developing high tech textiles that support the athletes to better performance. The aims of this study were to give an overview on the available products and to evaluate their level of innovation. Furthermore the research project should reveal which products are effectively used in trainings and competition. Finally the study elicits the status of current research and shows prospective research potential. hi tech history

Abstract hi tech history
The discrepancy of performance among competitive athletes is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore wearing high tech textile could help to get advantage over competitors. For this reason a lot of investigation has been done on developing high tech textiles that support the athletes to better performance. The aims of this study were to give an overview on the available products and to evaluate their level of innovation. Furthermore the research project should reveal which products are effectively used in trainings and competition. Finally the study elicits the status of current research and shows prospective research potential. hi tech history
