Yılmaz Erbil is a researcher affiliated with Çukurova University whose publication record is situated within engineering and textile-related research. The documented body of work includes studies of core and dual-core yarn structures, denim fabric performance, hemp-containing fabrics, moisture and air-transfer properties, and functional polymeric materials. His recent publications provide a basis for evaluating research activity in relation to applied materials and textile engineering.

Abstract

The research profile of Yılmaz Erbil reflects an applied engineering orientation with particular emphasis on textile structures and performance. Recent work examines mechanical properties of hemp-containing denim fabrics with core-engineered weft yarns, air permeability and water-vapour transmission in hemp-blended denim, and improvements in dual-core yarn structures. Earlier research investigated core and dual-core cotton yarn structures for denim applications, while a separate study addressed chitosan hydrogel functionality. These publications collectively indicate an interest in linking material architecture with measurable performance characteristics. [1] [2]

Keywords

Textile engineering; hemp denim; dual-core yarn; core yarn; fabric performance; air permeability; water vapour transmission; mechanical properties; cotton microfiber; chitosan hydrogel.

Introduction

Textile engineering increasingly integrates yarn architecture, alternative fibres and functional materials to improve fabric performance. Erbil’s documented publications address this intersection through experimental investigations of yarn and fabric properties. The research is particularly relevant to denim, where yarn construction can influence mechanical and comfort-related characteristics. [3]

Research Profile

The supplied research metrics report 8 documents, 140 citations and an h-index of 6. The profile is associated with Engineering and Çukurova University in Turkey. These indicators provide bibliometric context, while the publication subjects provide qualitative evidence of a focused research direction.

Research Contributions

  • Investigation of mechanical performance in hemp-containing denim fabrics using core-engineered weft yarns. [1]
  • Comparative examination of hemp blend ratio, weft count and dual-core architecture in denim comfort properties. [2]
  • Development-oriented study of cotton-microfiber hybrid sheaths in dual-core yarn structures. [3]

Publications

Recent publications include Mechanical Performance of Hemp-Containing Denim Fabrics with Core-Engineered Weft Yarns (Fibers, 2026), Air Permeability and Water Vapour Transmission in Hemp-Blended Denim Fabrics (Textiles, 2026), and Property improvement in dual-core yarn structure using cotton-microfiber hybrid sheath for textile applications (International Journal of Clothing Science and Technology, 2026). Earlier work includes Performance of Core & Dual-core Cotton Yarn Structures on Denim Fabrics (Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022). [1] [2] [3] [5]

Research Impact

The reported citation count and h-index indicate measurable scholarly visibility. The research also has applied relevance because yarn architecture and fabric composition are directly connected with textile performance parameters. The combination of structural yarn studies and newer hemp-denim investigations suggests continuity in the research programme. The supplied Scopus metrics should be interpreted as a bibliometric snapshot rather than a complete measure of research quality.

Award Suitability

For the Innovative Research Award category, the profile presents relevant evidence through a focused sequence of engineering publications addressing yarn design, textile materials and fabric performance. The 2026 studies extend this direction toward hemp-containing denim and dual-core architectures, while earlier publications demonstrate continuity in the investigation of engineered yarn structures. [1] [5]

Conclusion

Yılmaz Erbil’s documented research profile demonstrates an engineering-focused publication record centered substantially on textile materials, yarn construction and denim performance.
