A fabric that has been chemically treated or a fiber that is created by incorporating the anti-bacterial chemical agent into the fiber formula, making the finished fiber or fabric resistant to, or inhibiting the growth of micro-organisms
3.
Can be either a fiber or fabric that does not allow the build-up of static electricity to occur when the fiber or fabric experiences friction or rubbing.
4.
A finishing process for knit or woven fabrics in which brushes or other abrading devices are used on a loosely constructed fabric to permit the fibers in the yarns to be raised to create a nap on fabrics or create a novelty surface texture.

Color in a fabric that will not run or fade with washing or wear.
6.
Ink jet based method of printing colorants onto fabric.
7.
used on polyester and acetate fibers.
8.
A treatment applied to the fabric in the finishing process in which it maintains a smooth attractive appearance, resists wrinkling, and retains creases or pleats during laundering.

Compounds that penetrate and color fibers.
10.
"(SW) Hugely popular in the 1980's (AD) Introduced to produce same effects as stone washing. Not environmentally friendly."
11.
"A calendering process in which fabrics are engraved with use of heated rollers under pressure to produce raised design on the fabric surface.
12.
react to the molecules of fibers. Used on cotton, rayon, linen, hemp and silk.
13.
treated with special chemical agents or finishes to make them resistant to burning. Today many fabrics achieve this property by using fibers that have this property built directly into the polymer. A fabric is considered flame resistant if it passes feder
14.
Type of raised decoration applied to surface of fabric in which an adhesive is printed on fabric in specific pattern, and finely chopped fibers are applied by dusting, air-brushing, or electrostatic charges. Fibers adhere only to areas where adhesive has
15.
Reduce the health and environmental impact by lowering the amount of chemicals and other harmful substances used in growing/processing.
16.
Refers to fabric right off the loom.
17.
Created using transfer paper/ink or with vinyl/vinyl cutter, Design transferred with an iron or heat press, T-shirts are commonly printed with this method.
18.
Process of treating cotton yarn or fabric. Fabric or yarn is immersed in a caustic soda solution and later neutralized in acid. The process causes a permanent swelling fiber, resulting in an increased luster on surface of fabric, increased affinity for dy
19.
primarily made from polyester or nylon, single strand of fiber is finer than silk.
20.
Resistance resists the growth of mildew and other molds
21.
applied to the fabric make them inedible to moths.
22.
molecular structure of the chemicals used to form fibers has been altered.
23.
A fuzzy, fur-like feel created when fiber ends extend from the basic fabric structure to the fabric surface. The fabric can be napped on either one or both sides.
24.
The constructed fabrics are piece dyed for the flexibility they provide. The textile manufacturer can dye the whole fabric in batches according to the fashion demands of the time thus avoiding wastage and resultantly loss. There are several methods preval
25.
When the finished textile product such as hosiery or sweaters are dyed, it is called garment dyeing. A number of garments are packed loosely in a nylon net and put into a dyestuff filled tub with a motor driven paddle. The dye is thrown upon the garments
26.
Resist printing involves a two-step procedure in which a design pattern is printed on a white or dyed fabric with chemical or wax that will prevent the dyes from penetrating the fabric. When the fabric is dyed, the color is absorbed only where there is no

invented in Scotland in 1783. Fabric fed into machine, engraved cylinders pass over it
28.
Combines both roller and screen printing methods.
29.
Printing Most common fabric printing. Using blade, ink in form of paste squeezed through small openings on screen
30.
Textiles that can sense and react to changes in the environment, such as changes from mechanical , thermal, chemical, magnetic and other sources.
31.
Dying Dye is added to the solution before it is extruded through the spinnerets for making synthetic filaments.
32.
Release/Stain Resistant Purpose of increasing absorbency of fabric on durable press blends. Allows stain to leave fabric faster, increases wicking action for improved comfort and imparts greater ease in cleaning.
33.
Used to dye fibers. In this process, the staple fibers are packed into a vessel and then dye liquid is forced through them. Although the dye solution is pumped in large quantities, the dye may not penetrate completely into the fibers and some areas may be
34.
A person who artistically creates textile patterns that can be incorporated into fabric design
35.
Repellent/ Waterproof Fabrics that retain their durability and their ability to repel water after wearing, washing, and cleaning. Typically involves a fabric with a coating
36.
earliest form of textile printing. Slowest method. Artist designs simple shape on wood block, pounds back of block with mallet to create impression on fabric
37.
When dyeing is done after the fiber has been spun into yarn, it is called yarn dyeing. In this method, the dyestuff penetrates the fibers to the core of the yarn.
