Abstract

he last years of the 20th century saw significant transformations and quick advances in many spheres of life, and new technologies in the field of textile printing developed, taking the top spots in the strategic domains. All techniques for dyeing fabrics, from direct sketching to the most recent printing techniques, are included in the textile printing process. The study looks at the use of blending a synthetic fibre (vizose) with a polymer fibre (polyester) to produce mixed yarns. These yarns have a lot of characteristics and advantages that make them more qualified to use in producing summary fabrics and replace the significant shortage in natural fibres of the cotton yarns. The majority of rayon production has shifted to emerging nations, particularly China, Indonesia, and India. As of 2016, it is unknown how common disabilities are at these industries, and worker safety continues to be an issue. Using the mechanical characteristics of fabric evaluated by FAST equipment to maximise the impact of treating textiles made of polyester, viscose, and their blends with nano silicon dioxide, not only on their performance and look but also in the production of clothing. Formability, bending rigidity, extensibility, and thickness tests are used. By adding nanosized SiO2 particles to the surface of materials, the mechanical and durability qualities are enhanced, and the usefulness of the materials is also influenced.
