  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Human perspiration significantly affects heat and mass transfer in clothing systems and absorbs thermal energy on the skin, especially in radiant exposure and high-intensity work. However, few testing devices simulate human sweating for assessing heat transfer under thermal radiation exposure. Thus, a test device that could realistically simulate specific sweat rates was developed to evaluate the influence of continuous sweating on thermal protective performance (TPP). The TPP of single-layer fabrics at dry (No-sweating) and three constant sweating rates was studied based on the calibrated tester. It was indicated that the new testing apparatus effectively evaluated fabrics’ dry and wet thermal protective properties. Furthermore, compared to continuous sweating, the traditional pre-wet method may overestimate the TPP of the single-layer fabric depending on sweating rates. The continuous sweat rates played a dual role in the second-degree burn time and absorbed thermal energy, which is related to the moisture management performance of fabrics. The research provides an effective method to characterize the TPP of materials under continuous sweating/wetting, which will help optimize clothing performance and update relative standards.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  The inherent complexity of textile preforms and a high degree of consistency in dry fabrics and yarns present a number of modeling challenges, including uncertainty in geometrical characteristics under external loads, non-elastic deformations of fibrous media, and multiple deformation modes at the fiber and yarn scales. The prediction of the compaction reaction for different preforms is still possible thanks to the direct measurements of yarn compaction. The data are checked against compression stress-thickness curves that were produced by compacting yarns and preforms. The yarn and fabric compaction model given in this article demonstrates the final characteristics of woven preforms. The yarn compaction curve exhibits asymptotic hardening with a restricted compaction state attained at high compression stress and as the limit deformations are being approached. The yarn count, yarn fiber volume ratio, and the spinning method all affected the compression modulus. The transverse compression behaviour of yarns and fabrics was studied both analytically and experimentally. Mechanisms of fabric compressibility have been found to be reliant on both fabric and yarn specifications of warp and weft Young’s modulus. Investigations were made into the fabric’s fiber volume fraction under compression stress. When producing composite with low fiber volume fraction preforms, it may be more efficient to use more compression, according to research on the link between compressive stress and fabric volume fraction. The relationship between the compressive stress and fabric volume fraction was investigated, as well as the value of maximum compression stress.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Terahertz (THz) nondestructive testing has emerged as a promising tool for public security check due to its superior detection accuracy and sensitivity for hidden objects under clothing. However, it is unknown if material composition and textile structure of clothing will influence the THz spectrum of the hidden objects. In this paper, the THz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) was used to detect several natural and artificial fabrics containing pure amino acids with characteristic absorption peaks between 0.2 and 1.6 THz. The results show that the absorption peaks of AAs of various cloth materials have different degrees of decrease and redshift. In addition, the absorption peaks of the THz spectrum disappear when the textile structure is destroyed. Moreover, the simulation results also verify that the textile structure has an obvious effect on the THz field distribution. In this sense, it is necessary to analyze the material composition and textile structure when detecting hidden objects under clothing using the THz signal.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Three-dimensional (3D) mesh fabric is a key component in ventilated car seats for its excellent cushioning and ventilating performance. It is produced by stretching an as-knitted spacer fabric with closed surfaces via stentering and fixing the mesh form via heat-setting. This paper analyzes the effect of stentering and heat-setting processes on the structures and compression properties of a typical and commercial 3D mesh fabric by using X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) and finite element (FE) models. The monofilament architectures of the fabric after knitting, stentering, and heat-setting are reconstructed from μCT scanning, and the structural evolution is quantitatively investigated in terms of global dimension change, curvature, and torsion. The results from μCT reconstructions demonstrate that stentering shortens, widens, and thins the fabric due to yarn transfer to shorten monofilament loops and lengthen spacer monofilaments, which are then dispersed, bent, and twisted to increase the curvatures and torsions. The FE simulations indicate that the global and local monofilament architecture deformation shifts the fabric compression mode from constrained post-buckling to concurrent tilting and post-buckling of spacer monofilaments, expanding the plateau stage and decreasing plateau stress. Heat-setting shrinks monofilament and therefore deteriorates its mechanical performance. The fabric is further thinned during the heat-setting process, which also further bends and twists spacer monofilaments to slightly decrease the plateau stress. The structures and cushioning performance of 3D mesh fabrics can be engineered by employing a proper stentering ratio followed by a heat-setting process.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Manufacturing of membranes for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is a significant research topic. Achieving maximum CO2 sorption capacity while maintaining air permeability with a minimum number of technological steps was the main motivation of this work. The greatest advantages of this approach are its simplicity, low cost and easy transition to industrial scale. Electrospun nanofibrous membranes polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/triethylenetetramine (TETA) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) were prepared by one-step technology (modifying amines TETA, TEPA in different weight concentrations dissolved directly in spinning solution) using two different spinning conditions: needle spinning (electric field attached to a hollow needle through which a polymer solution is extruded under pressure) and wire spinning (electric field connected to a thin wire that is coated with a layer of polymer solution, and the spinning thus takes place from the free surface). Wire electrospinning turns out to be more suitable for a one-step technology with a modifying substance in the spinning solution. The best result as to the CO2 sorption capacity has been obtained for wire spinning PAN_TEPA_2% 11.7 ± 1.3 cm3/g with air permeability 53 ± 5 L/m2/s, which gives a good chance for the design of a sandwich functional unit for practical use. In addition to studies of CO2 adsorption, the article also deals with the comparison of both spinning methods for the PAN polymer, which have not yet been compared for this polymer in the literature, not only from the point of view of the possibility of preparing PAN nanofibers, but also their functional use precisely for CO2 capture.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Stable, reliable and high-speed weft insertion is an urgent challenge for high-speed industrial textile weaving devices. More stable and large electromagnetic forces can be provided by the segmented combined electromagnetic launch weft insertion, compared to the conventional electromagnetic launch weft insertion, which facilitates the realization of high-speed weft insertion. For digital electromagnetic launch weft insertion textile devices, it is necessary to respond quickly to the signals fed back by the sensors. Therefore, a fast and high-precision dynamical model capable of characterizing the kinematic properties of the weft inserter is extremely essential for control, which is conducive to the stable and reliable operation of the device. In this paper, we consider the electromagnetic force, weft yarn tension, air resistance, pipe wall friction, and gravity during the movement of the weft inserter, and establish a dynamic prediction model of segmented combined electromagnetic launch weft insertion (DPMSCEI) for control. Combining simulations and experiments to evaluate the performance of DPMSCEI validates the effectiveness and professionalism of DPMSCEI in solving electromagnetic weft insertion dynamics.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  The auxetic property of macro-porous rotating square structure has been investigated by many using either experimental or numerical approaches. Given the low breaking strength of the typical rotating square structure, it was proposed to employ an elastic base material to the cellular auxetic structure to improve its strength while maintaining its auxetic behavior in our previous study. Despite the experimental studies conducted, a numerical analysis is needed to explain the auxetic effect found in the produced laminated fabrics. In this paper, the auxetic properties of the 2-layer laminated system were simulated using the finite element approach and the effects of the modulus difference between the frame and the base were discussed. The main findings are (1) the simulated results based on a simplified model are broadly consistent with experimental ones under low tensile strain ranges; (2) the initial modulus of the frame material in the stretched direction and that of the base material in the lateral direction are critical to the generation of auxetic effect in the laminated system; (3) at least a 10-time difference of the modulus between the frame and the base materials is required to generate an auxetic effect in the 2-layer laminated structure and the overall auxetic property is increased by enlarging difference of the modulus within a tolerance. It is expected that this research could provide an instructive reference for the future design of auxetic materials.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Due to recent developments in wearable sensor technology, textile electrodes are routinely being employed in electromyography (EMG) for continuous monitoring of the biosignals from the muscles. However, the performance of such smart textile-based health monitoring devices depends on several factors such as, the sensitivity (impedance), durability (reusable/washable), users' comfort ability, integrability, and automatability. In this article we review the characteristics and the performance of the EMG textile electrodes, in the context of functional textile materials, smart textile materials, and smart textile systems for biosignals monitoring. The functional textile materials are confined to signal transmission alone, whereas, the smart textile materials include signal transducers and sensors. The more advanced smart textile systems include signal conditioning circuits with displays. Nowadays, textile-based sensors embedded in garments are becoming a part of users' normal life, in particular, the textile systems that continuously monitor the vital physiological signals from muscles are being sought after in healthcare settings.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Terrestial herbs and aquatic herbs are of natural origin with significant medicinal properties. These properties were selected and aimed to provide antimicrobial and anti-odour activities after finishing with nine different fabric samples in the present study. Hemigraphis colorata and Bacopa monnieri are the two herbs selected and a novel herbal composite (HC1) was developed. Composite was finished onto fabric samples using Pad-dry cure process. Finished fabrics were subjected to antibacterial activity using standard EN ISO 20,645 test method against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. To prevent odour from physical activities, aromatic oil was finished onto fabric samples; followed by testing anti-odour activity using Swiss standard SNV 195,651. Test results of antibacterial activity of herbal composite (HC1) finished fabrics revealed good inhibitory action against both test bacteria. Aromatic efficiency of herbal composite finished fabrics showed significant aromatic efficiency. Statistical evaluation determined that there was no significant difference (p–1) between finished and control fabrics in terms of antibacterial activity and aroma. Results for the biocompatibility of the herbal composite finished fabrics revealed that the composite concentrations did not inhibit the growth of fibroblast cells; thus indicating the biocompatibility of the herbal composite finished fabric samples. The present study would be considered highly significant by providing an eco-friendly and sustainable products for developing medical textile products and smart home textile products.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Disposable surgical gowns are used to protect health care workers from microorganisms and body fluids to meet the needs of surgical applications. In addition to protection, it has a significant impact on the surgical team members’ comfort and thus, the success of the operations. In this study, a dual layer surgical gown-an outer layer of film and an inner layer of nonwoven fabric-was developed. Produced composite laminated fabrics are SMS (spunbond/meltblown/spunbond) nonwoven fabric laminated microporous polyethylene film and SMS (spunbond/meltblown/spunbond) nonwoven fabric laminated thermoplastic polyurethane films. These fabrics were compared with nonporous polyethylene film-coated SS (spunbond/spunbond) nonwoven fabric available in the local market. The study aims to investigate the effect of some structural factors of composite nonwoven laminated fabrics, including lamination process, manufacturing process, and film type; microporous or monolithic, nonwoven fabric manufacturing process, and helium atmospheric-pressure glow discharge plasma treatment, on their functional performance properties, including air permeability, water vapour permeability, hydrostatic pressure resistance, and wet bacterial penetration resistance. The results showed that the produced composite fabrics offer outstanding breathability and, thus, the surgical team members' comfort. Produced composite fabrics had no wet bacterial penetration of Staphylococcus aureus and thus contributed to the prevention of the transfer of bacterial pathogens to prevent surgical site infection or post-operative infection. Produced composite fabrics offer superior liquid barriers according to the barrier protection classification of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (ANSI/AAMI PB 70:12) and thus contribute to the prevention of the transfer of body fluids during surgical operations.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Fabric draping, which is referred to as the process of forming of textile reinforcements over a 3D mold, is a critical stage in composites manufacturing since it determines the fiber orientation that affects subsequent infusion and curing processes and the resulting structural performance. The goal of this study is to predict the fabric deformation during the draping process and develop in-depth understanding of fabric deformation through an architecture-based discrete Finite Element Analysis (FEA). A new, efficient discrete fabric modeling approach is proposed by representing textile architecture using virtual fiber tows modeled as Timoshenko beams and connected by the springs and dashpots at the intersections of the interlaced tows. Both picture frame and cantilever beam bending tests were carried out to characterize input model parameters. The predictive capability of the proposed modeling approach is demonstrated by predicting the deformation and shear angles of a fabric subject to hemisphere draping. Key deformation modes, including bending and shearing, are successfully captured using the proposed model. The development of the virtual fiber tow model provides an efficient method to illustrate individual tow deformation during draping while achieving computational efficiency in large-scale fabric draping simulations. Discrete fabric architecture and the inter-tow interactions are considered in the proposed model, promoting a deep understanding of fiber tow deformation modes and their contribution to the overall fabric deformation responses.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Cotton fibers can be used to produce nonwovens suitable for numerous single use applications including hygiene, wipes, and medical products among others. Cotton comprises a relatively small amount of total raw materials used in nonwovens production compared to the synthetic fibers of polyester and polypropylene, but the use of cotton fibers in nonwovens continues to increase due to demand for disposable products containing natural, sustainable, and biodegradable materials. However, the relationship between cotton fiber classification measurements and nonwoven fabric physical and functional properties are not well characterized. A better understanding of the effects of cotton fiber properties on nonwovens fabric properties will facilitate fiber selection for specific end-use applications. In this study, cotton fibers with broad distributions of fiber quality measurements from 10 recombinant inbred lines of a multi parent advanced generation intercross multiparent advanced generation intercross population were harvested and processed in their greige state into hydroentangled nonwoven fabrics of two distinct basis weights. Tensile testing of lightweight nonwovens indicated fiber length and tensile strength at break were positively correlated with fabric strength, whereas micronaire (air permeability of a fiber bundle) was negatively correlated indicating finer fibers contributed to increased fabric strength. Increased strength of heavyweight fabrics was mainly correlated with higher fiber uniformity index. These results suggest that cotton fibers could be selectively sourced based on fiber quality for specific nonwoven applications and establishes alternative market opportunities for cotton fibers classified as inferior and subject to discount pricing in the woven textile market.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  In order to investigate the dynamics and vortex shedding of flexible supersonic canopies, a compressible permeability model combined with fabric structure parameters is proposed, and the periodic oscillation of the supersonic parachute which is referred to as breathing phenomenon is simulated based on the Arbitrary Langrangian Eulerian (ALE) method. The calculated results by new permeability model are consistent with the experimental results. The underlying mechanism of canopy breathing motion is then investigated. Moreover, the influence of canopy permeability on breathing phenomenon of supersonic parachute is analyzed. The results indicate that the periodic growth and shedding of the canopy vortex causes the variation of the pressure differential, which finally lead to the periodic oscillation of the canopy. With the increase of fabric permeability, the vortex rolled up from the canopy skirt move backward and become more slender. The influence of vortex shedding on canopy breathing motion weakened. Those lead to the decrease of the average value of canopy projected area and parachute dynamic load. So are the oscillation amplitude and frequency. The parachute deceleration performance decreases while the parachute swing angle decreases as the canopy permeability increases.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Compression pressure exertion is strongly related to mechanical properties of compression socks deployed with various type of materials and machine adjustments. These socks work on the principle of highest pressure at the ankle and gradually decrease towards the calf portion. Compression socks are used for the prophylaxis and treatment of venous disorders. Venous disorders range from minor asymptomatic incompetence of venous valves to chronic venous ulceration. Current research work contains analysis of the force at practical extension compared to experimental pressure (Ps), the relationship between experimental pressure (Ps), force at practical extension, and tensile indices which include hysteresis (H), tensile resilience (TR), and tensile linearity (TL). Results showed that the force value at practical extension (FL) impart the significant influence on experimental pressure (Ps). It is also portrayed that the tensile indices (W, W′, H, TR, and TL) combined with force at practical and experimental pressure also shown to have contributed significantly to the explanation of experimental pressure (Ps) results. Compression sock tensile characteristics are highly significant and directly related to their productivity, effectiveness, and working life.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Two-scale modeling is adopted to investigate the thermo-mechanical behavior of 3D four-directional (3D4D), 3D five-directional (3D5D), and 3D full five-directional (3DF5D) braided composites. Based on the stress-strain relationship considering thermal expansion and the periodic boundary conditions, the elastic constants and the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of the three types of braided composites are predicted by a two-scale homogenization method. The micro stress under free expansion and thermo-mechanical coupling is also simulated. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental results from relevant references. The numerical results show that the longitudinal elastic and thermal expansion properties are gradually improved with the increase of axial yarn content from 3D4D to 3D5D and then to 3DF5D braided composites. The braiding angle corresponding to the zero longitudinal CTE of each braided structure is basically about 40°. Furthermore, with the increase of temperature, the longitudinal micro-stress in yarns increases gradually, but that in matrix drops. These conclusions will provide a reliable basis for the structural optimization design and safety evaluation of 3D multi-directional braided composites in a thermal environment.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  The functional fabric with high electromagnetic shielding (EMI) performance, durability as well as good handle has been drawing increasing attention. Herein, AgNPs@MXene of high conductivity was prepared by in-situ reduction of AgNO3 onto MXene. Then, boron-enhanced AgNPs@MXene-PDA coating fabric (BAMP-F) of high properties was fabricated through polydopamine (PDA) coating, AgNPs@MXene assembly, and finally sodium tetraborate (Na2B4O7) densification. Results showed that the surface resistivity of AgNPs@MXene arrived at 7.22 × 10−4 Ω·m and decreased by one order in comparison with pure MXene. After 0.6 mol/L PDA coating, AgNPs@MXene deposition for 6 times, and 0.02 mol/L Na2B4O7 densification, the surface resistivity of BAMP-F reached 7.08 × 10−3 Ω·m and its EMI values of one layer attained 34.51 dB. Compared with AgNPs@MXene-PDA coating fabric (AMP-F), the electrical conductivity of BAMP-F improved by 47.6 % and its electromagnetic shielding performance increased by 42.8 %.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Glass fiber felt (GFF) as a fibrous and porous material has caught much attention because its light mass, low cost and excellent acoustic properties. In this paper, GFF was prepared via the papermaking technique to explore the correlation between glass fiber suspension characteristics and physical properties (uniformity, air permeability and sound insulation) of GFF. The consequence presented that increasing the dispersing times and speeds could decrease aspect ratio and flocculation of fibers, which was useful to improve viscosity and fiber hanging property of glass fiber suspension, and uniformity of GFF. However, there was no visible impact on the air permeability of GFF. The results also indicated that increasing the dispersing times could decrease sound transmission loss (STL), however which could be enhanced by changing the dispersing speeds. The optimal dispersing speed was 3000 r/min and STL could be reached 15.78 dB at 6300 Hz. Generally, GFF could be used as acoustic material for building and transportation.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  During current COVID-19 crises, the antimicrobial textiles primarily those utilized in hospital by doctors and paramedical staff have become increasingly important. Thus, there is an unmet requirement to develop antimicrobial textiles for infection control and hygiene practices. Metallic nanoparticles exhibit great effectiveness towards resistant microbial species making them a potential solution to the increasing antibiotic resistance. Due to this, nanoparticles particularly copper and silver have become most prevalent forms of antibacterial finishing agents for the development of antimicrobial textiles. This review is mainly focused on the significance of copper and silver nanoparticles for the development of antimicrobial textiles. The comparative analysis of the antibacterial effectiveness of copper and silver nanoparticles as well as the possible physical and chemical interactions responsible for their antibacterial action are explained. The negative impact of pathogenic microbes on textiles and possible interactions of antimicrobial agents with microbes have also been highlighted. The significance of nanotechnology for the development of antimicrobial textiles and their applications in medical textiles domain have also been discussed. Various green synthesis and chemical methods used for the synthesis of Ag and Cu nanoparticles and their application on textile substrates to impart antimicrobial functionality have also been discussed. The various qualitative and quantitative standard testing protocols utilised for the antimicrobial characterization of textiles have also discussed in this review. The developed Cu and Ag coated textiles could be effectively applied in the field of hospital textiles for the preparation of antibacterial scrub suits, surgical gowns, panel covers, protective clothing, bedding textiles, coveralls, wound dressings, table covers, curtains, and chair covers etc.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  In order to develop a suitable washing mode for knapsack, mechanical agitation (1), water bath vibration (2), ultrasonic (3), micro-nano bubble (4) and complex washing mode of the two were systematically investigated. Results showed that regardless of fabric, the washing efficiency of composite washing mode {mechanical agitation + ultrasonic (1 + 3), mechanical agitation + micro-nano bubble (1 + 4)}, was highest among all washing modes. Moreover, the decrease of stiffness, tensile strength, smoothness and micro-morphology of knapsack by using complex washing mode {mechanical agitation + ultrasonic (1 + 3), mechanical agitation + micro-nano bubble (1 + 4)} significantly lower than that of mechanical agitation. This indicated that mechanical agitation was the key to remove stain, micro-nano bubbles and ultrasound only assisted its removal. But the addition of micro-nano bubbles and ultrasound was helpful to improve the washing efficiency and reduce the performance degradation caused by washing mode of mechanical agitation. Complex washing mode {mechanical agitation + ultrasonic (1 + 3), mechanical agitation + micro-nano bubble (1 + 4)} was optimal washing combination for knapsack, especially the composite mode of mechanical agitation + ultrasonic (1 + 3), due to its ability to remove residual stains in the inner layer and slit. Moreover, the complex washing mode was also more environmental-friendly and sustainable, compared to other washing mode, because of washing time and detergent dosage reducing occurred by its high washing efficiency. The results were not only helpful to guide manufacturers of washing machine to develop a program dedicated to the daily washing and care knapsack, but also provided scientific care guidance and optimization ideas for subsequent research and applications.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Oil-contaminated soil is detrimental to the ecosystem. There are various methods for purifying and controlling oil-contaminated soil. Among these, the use of oil absorbent geotextiles is considered a new method, and its performance requires more research. The separating by geotextiles has the advantages such as absence of chemicals in the separation process, less energy, simple control and implementation. This study presents an environmentally friendly sustainable solution using spacer geotextile layers to absorb crude oil and improve the geotechnical properties of contaminated soil. The variables include contamination percentage, number of fibrous substrate layers, soil overhead load pressure and duration of exposure to contaminated soil. The response variable is the internal friction coefficient of soil obtained from the direct shear test. By comparing soil samples containing geotextiles with samples without geotextiles, it was concluded that spacer geotextile layers could increase the internal friction coefficient of the soil and thus lead to improved soil properties. Increasing the number of geotextile layers, loading and the presence time of geotextile layers in the soil had increased the internal friction angle. But as the oil percentage in the soil increases, the internal friction angle of the soil decreases. Also, in this study, a linear regression model has been used to investigate the effect of existing parameters and the model was in good agreement with the experimental data.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Three-dimensional (3D) printing on textile substrates is a promising method to create objects with a variety of different materials that have tailored mechanical properties. This synthesis of technology is favored by current researchers to retain the characteristics of 3D printing while maintaining the wear comfort of fabrics. Although the importance and potential of textile-based 3D printing have been recognized, it is worth noting that there is still a lack of comprehensive studies on the basic wearable properties. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) are extruded separately onto polyester fabric. Then the wearable properties are examined through bending, compression, thermal conductivity, and thermography tests, which are carried out by using the KES-FB system and a thermal imager. The results indicate that the printed PLA on polyester fabric has a better washing resistance than the printed TPU on polyester fabric with a smaller reduction in the peel force after different washing cycles. The rate of decline of the printed TPU samples is 53.2%, which is more than twice that of the printed PLA samples (20.4%) after 30 washing cycles. In terms of the physical and thermal properties, the results show that the bending rigidity, bending hysteresis, compression energy, k values, and thermal insulation properties of the PLA and TPU samples are generally well-correlated with the number of printed layers. Further applications can be explored based on the results reported in this paper.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  In recent years, great efforts have been made to research and develop advanced thermodynamic textiles that can change their thermal behavior in response to external stimuli. More specifically, shape memory alloys and shape memory polymer coatings have used for thermal comfort applications. However, the use of shape memory polymers in the form of filament yarns integrated in the fabrics has not yet reported. These fabrics have some advantages related to versatility in shape design. The aim of this study was to develop woven SMPU-based fabrics with reversible thermodynamic properties induced by weft SMPU filament yarns interlaced into polyester (PES) fabrics. To this end, PES woven fabrics with different ratios of weft SMPU filament yarns (PES/SMPU 1:0; 3:1; 1:1; 1:3, and 0:1) were developed and their thermodynamic properties (thermal resistance, water vapor resistance, and permeability index), shape memory effect, and mechanical performance were evaluated and compared to the 100% PES reference fabric. All the SMPU-based fabrics developed were classified as extremely breathable (water vapor resistance

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  High-distance woven spacer fabrics have been developed into a variety of special textile products for a wide range of applications. As a type of sandwich structure, their applications are heavily dependent on their compressive properties. In this study, the compressive properties of high-distance woven spacer flexible inflatable composites (HDWSFICs) have been evaluated by varying the indenter diameter, initial inflation pressure, and spacer yarn density. The experimental results showed that the compression process can be divided into three stages, including the Contact Stage, the Stress Transition Stage and the Densification Stage. In the Stress Transition Stage, the HDWSFICs can transform compressive load into tension stress, and especially local stress into integral stress, which can be considered a “Stress Transformer”. The existence of the spacer yarns allows the inflatable composites to bear more than three times the compressive load of the inflatable membrane material itself. The compressive modulus increases with spacer yarn density and initial inflation pressure, thus the stiffness of HDWSFICs can be designed. The findings of this study may provide ideas for the design of a “Stress Transformer” and theoretical references for the development of high-distance woven spacer inflatable composites with excellent mechanical properties.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  The demand for eco-friendly materials in many sectors is due to the age-long usage of synthetic materials, which has so many negative impacts on the environment, high energy consumption, and health concerns. The physical, mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties of woven kenaf fibre reinforced bio-epoxy composites are investigated in this study. The bio-composites were produced utilizing a manual lay-up process with varying fibre loading percentages of 30%, 35%, and 40%. Pure Bio-epoxy composites were also prepared as a reference. Physical, mechanical, morphological, and thermal characteristics were assessed. The density and water absorption of the bio-composites increase as the fibre loading increased. The highest density (1.2559 g/cm3) was shown by 40% fibre loading which also exhibited the highest water absorption of 9.8%. Furthermore, the void content revealed that the pure bio-epoxy has the highest value of 3.16% as compared to kenaf/bio-epoxy composites. The highest tensile strength and Young’s modulus was recorded by 40% fibre loading with 92.47 MPa and 9.18 GPa respectively. Impact properties also show enhancement with the increase in fibre loading, it showed the highest impact strength of 7280.8 J/m2 at 40% fibre loading. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the tensile fracture indicates that 40% fibre loading shows better fibre and bio-epoxy inter facial bonding because of its higher strength. The Initial decomposition temperature (IDT) of the bio-composites happens at about 230°C–280°C, and the Final decomposition temperature (FDT) is 540°C–560°C which is lower when compared to the pure bio-epoxy composites of 279°C and 560°C. Kenaf/bio-epoxy composites with 40% fibre loading show the best physical and mechanical and thermal properties. Based on our findings, we believe that our green bio-composites has the potential to be employed in various industries such as automobiles, construction and packaging.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  In this study, a novel multifunctional carpet test device was proposed to overcome deficiencies of current technology, including manual operation error and fixed load. The newly developed test device can automatically perform short-term static loading, long-term static loading and thickness measurement on five samples, simultaneously. The application of the load is achieved by using pneumatic system elements and automation of the developed test device is obtained by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) software. The device was verified according to “trueness” and “precision” criteria via statistical analyses. As a result of trueness determination, the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) values of the developed test device were between 0.001–0.023, in comparison to that of the traditional carpet thickness tester, which exhibits very close trend between two measurements. The precision analysis results revealed no significant difference in 95% confidence interval between developed test device and the carpet thickness tester. Moreover, the developed test device is capable for thickness loss test by brief moderate loading, prolonged heavy loading and carpet thickness measurement, following related international standards.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Air pollution as a result of industrialization is a serious problem in many developed and developing countries. Gaseous nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) produced primarily due to the coal combustion process and automobiles, cause severe environmental problems such as acid rain, smog, ground level ozone etc. These have far reaching consequences on the ecosystem and in many cases direct toxicology effects on humans. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) are another important class of air pollutants, which are widely regarded to be responsible for the global warming effect. Nanofibers could play an important role as gas sensors for the detection of acceptable emission limits for a variety of gases. Various methods have been proposed for carbon dioxide separation and eventual storage. Ideal materials for carbon dioxide capture and separation must have a porous structure, good strength and stability, and an environmentally friendly manufacturing process. In this regard, electrospun polymer nanofibers are among the ideal materials for carbon dioxide separation. Today, due to the appropriate physical structure and easy and cost-effective manufacturing method, electrospun polymer nanofibers have received more attention from scientists. In recent years, the use of polymer nanofibers has been identified as a high-efficiency method for the separation of gaseous pollutants, including carbon dioxide, from gaseous streams. In this review article, an attempt has been made to investigate the separation of CO2 gas from air using various methods, including the membrane separation method. The recent progress in the design and fabrication of electrospun nanofibers for chemical separation reviews. Also, the different CO2 capture mechanisms including electrostatic, affinity, covalent bonding, chelation, and magnetic adsorption by adsorbents, solvents, and membranes are explained

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Self-healing fabrics have garnered a lot of attention due to their recovering functionality upon damage. This work describes a facile technique for developing a novel self-healing coating with the goal of producing autonomous intrinsic self-healing fabrics that can recover from damage at room temperature without the use of external stimuli. The coating was developed using natural rubber latex (NRL) and consisted of a dynamic reversible metal thiolate ionic network. The formation of the reversible ionic network was assessed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and zeta potential analysis. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that the coating impregnated the fibres of the fabric and improved their structural integrity. The morphology of the punctured area revealed that intermolecular diffusion had occurred during the recovery and the sample had completely healed. The results also showed that the tensile strength, tear strength and puncture strength of the fabric achieved 100% healing efficiency when the damaged fabrics were brought into contact with each other and allowed to be healed at room temperature. This technology is expected to open up a new avenue in the textile industry.

  The impact resistant composite has excellent energy absorption efficiency, but the structure and material selection of the composite have great influence on its energy absorption. In order to explore the effect of structure on the energy absorption of Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites and the application potential of new aramid core-spun yarn and new polyester core-spun yarn in impact resistant composites. The UHMWPE composites with different fiber orientations and stacking sequences structure, as well as the new hybrid composites containing aramid core-spun yarn and polyester core-spun yarn were tested by low-velocity impact test and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation. The differences of energy absorption of UHMWPE composites with different structures and the advantages of the new hybrid composites were analyzed. The results show that the energy absorption of the 45°/0°/90°/−45° UHMWPE composite is 15% and 86% higher than that of the 0°/90°/0°/90°UHMWPE composite and the 0°/90°/45°/−45° UHMWPE composite, respectively, which is the best structure among the three composites. The energy absorption performance of the composites introduced with aramid core-spun yarn and polyester core-spun yarn were improved by 223% and 202%, respectively, so that the energy absorption performance was significantly improved by new yarns.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Increasing demand for high-performance applications of composite materials requires an integral forming process for complex components. As a composite reinforcement, 3D (three-dimensional) woven fabric has advantages in producing near-net-shaped preforms. However, previous studies focused on plates with uniform thickness, which are often variable thicknesses or special-shaped parts in practical applications. Some structures are prepared by stitching and then formed in the mold, but this increases the fiber damage. This study proposes a fabric design method based on yarn movement. By controlling the movement direction and distance of each yarn, the warp path in the fabric can be designed, which cause the change of fabric structure and achieve the integrated forming of special-shaped preforms. Based on this method, a software package for the preforms design and simulation is developed, which can be used for various woven and 3D textiles to illustrate its versatility.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  This paper investigates the electromagnetic interference shielding effect and wearing comfort properties of a sandwich material consisting of a surface layer, an electromagnetic interference shielding layer, a thermal insulation layer, and a lining layer. The main aim is to research its potential as a winter jacket’s material for shielding electromagnetic radiation and the relationship between single-layer fabric samples and multi-layer sandwich materials under different properties. Experimentally, it is found that the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of the sandwich materials is only determined by the electromagnetic interference shielding layer fabric sample, the other layers’ fabric samples have no significant impact on the electromagnetic interference shielding effect. In this paper, the air permeability of the sandwich materials is 25 to 50% lower than that of the single-layer fabric samples with the lowest air permeability in their combination. And the water vapor resistance of the sandwich materials is 40 to 60% higher than that of the single-layer fabric samples with the highest water vapor resistance in their combination. The thermal resistances of the sandwich materials measured by the Alambeta are lower than those calculated by the sum of the individual layers’ thermal resistance, which may be caused by the reduction in the internal air of the sandwich materials. Finally, the quality index evaluation is used to select the most suitable sandwich material for the winter jacket against electromagnetic radiation, which achieves the purpose of balancing the electromagnetic interference shielding effect and wearing comfort.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  In order to prepare 3D structural composites with electromagnetic wave absorption and load-bearing, 3D gradient structured woven fabrics were woven with basalt fiber filament yarn and carbon fiber filament yarn as raw materials on a common loom with rational design. After that, the three-dimensional gradient structured woven fabric was used as the reinforcing material, epoxy resin was used as the matrix, and carbonyl iron powder (CIP) and carbon black (CB), the electromagnetic wave absorbers, were added. In this paper, a vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding method was used to fabricate composite materials with three-dimensional structures. Finally, the experimental and simulation analysis techniques were used to analyze the absorbing and mechanical properties of the 3D gradient structured woven composites. The results show that the error value of the peak reflection loss is 10.6% in the simulation of electromagnetic wave absorption performance, and the error value of the maximum bending load is 2.37% in the simulation of mechanical performance. The theoretical simulation results and experimental results were in good agreement, which proved the validity of the electromagnetic wave absorbing model and finite element model. The experimental and simulation analyses revealed the material’s electromagnetic wave absorbing mechanism and bending damage mechanism and provided some theoretical guidance for designing 3D gradient structured woven composites with integrated load-bearing and electromagnetic wave absorbing functions.

With increasing application and experience increased attention is paid to carbon-fiber reinforced composites with improved advanced properties, such as mechanical, structural and electrical, allowing them to displace the more conventional materials, such as metal alloys. In this paper, we used the Design of experiment methodology to investigate the design and properties of newly developed unique porous carbon-fiber reinforced composites intended for electromagnetic shielding purposes. The main goal was therefore to fabricate a composite with low thickness, high permeability to air and water vapor with a satisfactory ability to shield electromagnetic fields, whereas the investigation of the influential variables of the reinforcement and the investigation of the influence of the matrix on the overall shielding efficiency of the composite belongs to the sub-objectives. Furthermore, other important properties of the composites including heat and mass transfer, mechanical and electrical properties were evaluated. A quality index evaluation approach using weighted and normalized data was implemented to choose a composite with properties, which best fits to its intended use. The highest quality index was achieved by the composite containing reinforcement with warp and weft sett 18 dm−1 using carbon tape 2 mm wide. This composite provides electromagnetic shielding 36 dB at 1.5 GHz, having high air permeability 1000 mm/s, relatively low bending rigidity of around 2.5 Nmm and thickness of only 0.37 mm.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  This paper reports the compressive behavior and low-velocity impact behavior of warp-knitted spacer fabrics (WKSFs) filled with shear thickening fluid (STF) when subjected to quasi-static compression and low-velocity impact loadings, respectively. In the steady rheological test, the STF experiences a shear thickening transition at a critical shear rate. Besides, the critical shear rate decreases with the increase of silica mass fraction. The compression curves of WKSFs filled with STF composites were consistent with those of WKSFs, including initial, elastic and compaction stage. As the compression speed increases, the overall compression load values of WKSF and WKSFs filled with STF composite increase. Moreover, the compression load of composite increases with the increase of silica mass fraction. Compared with WKSFs, WKSFs filled with STF composite composites need more work to deform under the same strain. The impact result reveals that STF-filled WKSF would absorb more energy and keep the peak load at a lower level than WKSF under the same impact loadings. In a certain range, the energy absorption of composites becomes more excellent with the increasing silica mass fraction. However, over a certain range, the energy absorption of the composite decreases with the increase of the mass fraction of silica. It was concluded that the STF-filled WKSF composite could be expected as a damping or energy-absorptive material for human body protection.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  The sound insulation of the front wall of a car is mainly used to isolate the noise of the engine from being transmitted to the passenger cabin. A front wall is generally a kind of structure of Absorber-Barrier-Absorber (ABA), where A is sound absorption layer and B is sound insulation layer. The sound absorption layer (A) usually consists of porous cotton of superfine fiber or microfiber. In this paper, kapok fiber is used to make the sound-absorbing layer A, and its sound absorption is compared with that of superfine fiber. Microstructure of the two fibers is compared, and it is found that kapok fiber has a large hollow structure. The sound absorbing coefficients of the layer A made with the two fibers are measured and it is concluded that the layer A made of kapok fibers can absorber noise greatly and thus has high sound absorption coefficient. The prototypes of ABA structural are made using two kinds of fibers as layer A, and the sound transmission loss (STL) was measured using reverberation room and anechoic room. The measurement shows that the ABA using kapok fiber as sound absorption layer has better sound insulations, and the STL of ABA using kapok fiber as sound absorption layer is increased by about 3 dB. A model for estimating STL of ABA structure is established and the calculated STL is validated. Using the developed model, the STL of ABA structures with different structural characteristics of Layers A or B is calculated and analyzed.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Lightweight panels are of high relevance for various applications, such as automotive, aerospace, civil engineering, and achieve high stiffnesses and strengths at low self-weight. The sandwich principle is commonly used to manufacture the panels, although conventional materials and reinforcement structures often limit the design and application of the panels in a wide range of possible applications. The reason for this is that lightweight panels fail either under combined compressive/shear loading or as a result of delamination of the individual layers. In this article, novel fabric structures are presented as a basis for the fabrication of lightweight panels that effectively overcome these deficiencies. These fabrics have a spatial truss-like structure, with the core and top layer being connected by continuously running reinforcing fibers. This results in high panel stability and high delamination resistance, which are evaluated in this article using mechanical tests in compression, flexure and combined tension-shear. The results are related to sample panels with conventional honeycomb core as reference. The high potential and excellent delamination resistance of the new fabric-based lightweight panels is shown in the result of the tests.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  The development of novel biomass carriers is an option for increasing the efficiency of processes at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Biomass carriers support the adhesion of specific bacteria and the subsequent biofilm formation. As part of this work, a new type of microfibrous biomass carrier with a unique sandwich structure was developed. Technologically, the structure of the biomass carrier is based on warp knitted spacer fabric created on a double-needle bar machine. Commercially available microfiber materials were used to achieve a large specific surface area (SSA) and internal porosity of the carrier to ensure high microorganism capture. A yarn combination was chosen to reach a final carrier density slightly lower than water to float in an aqueous environment. As the first, was developed and described a three-dimensional warp knitted microfiber biomass carrier. Next, were evaluated the properties of this carrier for post nitrification on WWTPs and compared with commercially available biomass carriers. Testing biofilm (using respirometry, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and next-generation sequencing) growing on the developed carrier in a post-nitrification laboratory reactor showed excellent adhesion, stability, and abundance of microorganisms. A high rate (more than 95%) of ammonia nitrogen removal was achieved in post-nitrification, and molecular genetics methods confirmed the high concentration of nitrifying bacteria in the biofilm. The developed three-dimensional microfiber biomass carriers have proven their functionality and can be considered an advance in biofilm processes.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Heavy metal contamination is a serious concern worldwide. In order to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater efficiently, multifunctinoal biomass-based material have been utilized. Herein, hyperbranched polymer modified cellulose biomass (HBP-CB) derived from textile waste materials ramie fibers was successfully developed by construction of Fe3O4/SiO2/polymer multiple structure through an etch-fill strategy. Specifically, Fe3O4 and SiO2 particles were introduced to the oxidation etching cellulose surface, and subsequently modified by hyperbranched polymer The adsorption behavior of the adsorbent toward two classes of heavy metal ions was investigated. The results indicated that HBP-CB owned excellent adsorption capacities for chromium and Cu(II) with maximum 123.5 mg/g and 149.0 mg/g and magnetic recovery performance in aqueous medium. These are owing to the oxidization etching biomass matrix with a higher BET surface area of 4.61 m2/g and the hybrid multiple structure modified by functional hyperbranched polymer with high dense adsorptive sites on the matrix. The adsorption behavior was well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, revealing a rapid surface adsorption and monolayer spontaneous chemical adsorption. For recycling, 81% of adsorption capacity could be retained after five recovery cycles. These demonstrate that the hybrid multiple structure based on biomass, nanomaterials and polymer could provide sustainable and high-performance adsorption property for wastewater treatment.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester fabric has been treated with different concentrations of sodium lignin sulphonate (SLS), a lignin based sustainable flame retarding agent. Treated PET fabric has exhibited different chemical loading on its surface varying from 15 to 60% depending on the concentration used. Treated fabric has shown 40–70% more limiting oxygen index (LOI) value as compared to the control PET fabric. 200 g/L SLS treated PET fabric (with 35% chemical loading) has shown LOI value of 27. In addition to it, melt dripping property of all the treated PET fabrics have been found to be stopped with lower shrinkage during combustion, as observed from the UL94 test results. TG analysis of the said fabric has shown 20–25% more char mass retention and lower rate of weight loss as compared to the control one. Char morphology of the control and the treated fabric has also been examined in different magnifications and analyzed in detail. Forced combustion test of the sodium ligno-sulphonate treated PET fabric has revealed 82% lower peak heat release rate (PHRR) as compared to the control PET fabric with less amount of carbon monoxide liberation during burning. Besides, a possible mechanism lies behind the flame retardancy of the SLS treated PET fabric also has been expressed and discussed scientifically.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Sandwich composite panel for heat insulation application were fabricated from two types of agricultural biomass waste, the oil palm empty fruit bunch and spent mushroom substrate. These agricultural biomasses are abundant, renewable, and without proper disposal management, might cause massive environmental pollution. This study investigated the effect of fibrillation degree on EFB fiber through the morphology modification to enhance the properties and thermal characteristic of the sandwich composite panel. Fibrillation is a physical changes that occurred on the surface and internal structure of fiber after undergo excessive physical modification by using refiner machine. Higher fibrillation degree could be achieve by narrowing the space area between two disks of refiner which also known as refining gap. In this research, a composite panel was developed from (SMS) and (EFB) fiber via sandwich hot pressing method. One composite sample using raw EFB fiber and three composite sample at fibrillation degree 191.40%, 211.70% and 271.68% were made at density 0.8 g/cm3. Based on result, the morphological structure of EFB fiber improved in term of formation of small fibril formation, larger surface area, optimum fiber length, optimum fiber diameter and better fiber distribution in composite panel. The mechanical properties of composite was obtained at range 2.77–7.21 MPa for tensile strength, 16.61–18.59 MPa for flexural strength, 2.06–3.18 MPa for internal bond and 4.35–15.79 kJ/m2 for impact strength. For physical properties, value of water absorption and thickness swelling were obtained at range 90.34–142.61% and 18.01–44.80%, respectively. Last but not least, the thermal conductivity value of sandwich composite was obtained at range 0.234–0.282 W/m.K. Overall result found that increasing fibrillation degree on EFB fiber at 211.70% able to contribute in improving the mechanical properties, physical properties and thermal characteristic of sandwich composite panel. This research finding suggested that enhancement of fiber morphology using fibrillation degree approach is considered as an alternative eco-friendly method that could be implemented to improve the properties and thermal characteristic of sandwich composite panel.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) carbon fibers are often used to prepare high-performance paper-based materials owing to their high strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and superior comprehensive properties. In this study, a novel method for preparing PAN-based carbon fibers by centrifugal spinning was developed, and a stable and homogeneous PAN carbon fiber paper was successfully obtained. Subsequently, the formation process, microscopic morphology, electrical conductivity, electrochemical performance and hydrophobicity of the PAN carbon fiber paper were studied and evaluated. The results showed that the electrical conductivity of the PAN carbon fiber paper prepared via this method reached 43.250 s·cm−1, resistivity was as low as 0.023–0.033 Ω·cm, and contact angle exceeded 140°. This study adopted a new method to prepare PAN carbon fiber paper, which provided another method for the preparation of high-performance fiber paper.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Tube yarn is also called glass fiber spun yarn. Due to the excellent properties of glass fiber, various industrial products based on glass fiber are used in a variety of industries. As the most obvious factor affecting the quality of products, quality detection of glass fiber yarns is very important for companies. Due to traditional defect detection relies on the experience and subjective factors of workers, which makes many different views on the same defect. Some traditional methods limit the solution to specific types of defects and do not accurately detect various defects. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive defect detection system of tube yarn via combining machine vision and deep learning methods. In whole system, we inspect the weight through a weight sensor firstly. Then, we propose a multi-scale cross-fusion attention module to improve the MobileNetV2, and combine with machine vision image feature extraction method for hairiness detection. Finally, the modified MobileNetV2 network is used as the backbone of YOLOX network, making the YOLOX is lighter and achieve more efficiently stain detection of tube yarn. Then, the detection results are used to determine whether the glass tube yarn has passed. In addition, we establish an effective and sufficient amount of tube yarn defects dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed hairiness detection algorithm achieve 96% accuracy with 160+ FPS, and the surface stain detection algorithm achieve 0.89 mAP with 71+ FPS on the tube yarn dataset. The system is efficient, precise, and can be applied to actual production.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  Motorsports athletes compete at high speeds for, on average, three to four hours in a cockpit that can reach temperatures of 50°C. While engineers have worked to create a faster car and safer conditions, the comfort of the driver is often sacrificed. Motorsports governing bodies require that a driver’s racing suit meet at least one of several certification levels for thermal protection. While much research and testing go into certification, there continues to be a lack of information in the body of research regarding the impact of the racing suit on thermal comfort and heat stress. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the impact of auto-racing personal protective clothing on the thermal comfort of race car drivers by utilizing a thermal manikin to observe the thermal insulation, evaporative resistance, and total heat loss (THL) of standard racing suits. Racing suit systems of varying SFI Foundation, Inc. (SFI) certification levels were purchased and analyzed using an ANDI sweating thermal manikin in an environmental chamber. Results from this research demonstrate that the average predicted THL for an SFI compliant racing ensemble is 172 W/m2. Findings indicate it is more beneficial for thermal comfort to wear a lower rated suit with base layers as opposed to a higher rated suit without undergarments. More research must be done to better understand how the predicted THL for racing ensembles effects the human body when performing under race day conditions, and to determine a minimum THL benchmark for racing ensembles.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  In this study, stainless steel/viscose blended yarn was prepared and different structured woven fabrics were prepared for studying the moisture transmission and electromagnetic shielding behaviour. By doubling viscose spun yarn with SS filament yarn, the SS/viscose blended yarn was prepared. The woven fabrics were made in a sample loom using viscose yarn and SS/viscose blended yarn. By changing the metal content, thread density and conductive fibre proportions at different levels, the developed fabrics were analyzed for maximum shielding effectiveness in the frequency of 300 kHz to 1.5 GHz. The fabric having conductive threads in warp and weft directions showed larger shielding effectiveness (SE) compared to fabric having conductive threads in one direction. The increase in weft density, proportions of conductive threads (in weft direction) and metal content increases the shielding level of fabric. The highest SE of 56 dB was observed for plain woven fabric compared to 3/1 twill, 2/2 twill and 2/2 basket fabrics in the frequency of 700 MHz. The influence of environmental factors such as relative humidity and pH on shielding behaviour of fabrics were also studied. As the relative humidity was increased, the SE was also increased. The fabric treated with acidic (or) basic condition exhibited better SE than the fabric in neutral condition. Similarly, air permeability and water vapour transmission characteristics of the developed conductive fabrics were also analyzed. The air permeability of the fabric was higher when the metal content in the fabric was low. The fabric having more floats showed higher air permeability compared to fabrics with less floats. Similarly, the water vapour transmission rate was also high for long float fabrics. The developed conductive fabrics could be used as wall covering and personal protective clothing in defense industry.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  The VOCs removal from polluted air has been achieved using several different methods but primarily through the use of adsorbent materials or through degradation with photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). Fibres produced by electrospinning have the possibility to easily incorporate additives into the fibres and onto their surface. This can functionalise them for efficient VOCs removal. Cellulose acetate (CA)-based electrospun fibre membranes have been fabricated and doped with activated charcoal (AC) and titanium dioxide (TiO2), either separately or in combination to investigate their toluene removal capacity of the single additive and the synergic effects of adsorption and PCO. Two different methods of functionalisation of the fibres with AC and TiO2 have been used. These methods are air spraying and electro-spraying. Several configurations of the final membranes have been investigated. SEM images indicate that the additives have been successfully distributed on the fibre surface and they affect their morphology by increasing the overall roughness and the thickness of the final membranes. Adsorption with AC achieved 45.5% removal of toluene with a starting concentration of 22.5 ppm. PCO was probably initiated using a blacklight blue UV lamp with a peak wavelength of 365 nm as formation of formaldehyde was recorded. The findings suggest that PCO is affected by the residence time and UV light intensity.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , January-December 2023.
  High-density polyethylene (HDPE) content significantly influences the structure and mechanical properties of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/HDPE blend fibers. The molecular chain disentanglement and crystallization characteristics of as-spun filaments and fibers and how the structure affects the final mechanical properties of the fibers were thoroughly studied by adding different contents of HDPE. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and rheological analysis indicated that the molecular entanglement decreased with increasing HDPE content, improving the UHMWPE melt processability. Sound velocity orientation (SVO) studies indicated that the UHMWPE/HDPE as-spun filaments and fibers with an HDPE content of 40 wt% (U6H4) had a higher molecular chain orientation level. Furthermore, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) analyses indicated that U6H4 had the highest crystallinity and the thinnest grains in the axial direction, respectively. The compact crystal structure and fully stretched molecular chains of U6H4 yielded the best mechanical properties. The present work disclosed the effect mechanism of HDPE contents on the preparation and properties of UHMWPE/HDPE fibers, which provided an effective and universal strategy for manufacturing high-strength UHMWPE/HDPE fibers with the melt spinning method.

  Abstract: Journal of Industrial Textiles, Volume 53, Issue , Page 1-33, January-December 2023.
  The low performance of insulation panels has received great attention from many researchers and engineers to improve their properties as it has become a limiting factor that minimize their usage specifically as insulation building material. Recently, there has been an increase in interest in the development of composite insulation panels made from natural waste fiber. Due to the abundance of natural waste fiber generated by the agricultural industry, it has made them suitable to be utilized as raw material for composite insulation panels. Having improper waste disposal management might result in these massive quantities of valuable natural waste fiber having a detrimental effect on our ecosystem and contributing to various environmental pollution. A composite insulation panel made from natural waste fibers has unique and versatile features in terms of thermal, physical, and mechanical properties. Seeing such potential, this paper presents a review on the influencing factors towards improving comprehensive properties of composite insulation panels. Factors that influence the properties of the panel, such as the physico-chemical properties of fiber, fiber geometrical structure, and fiber treatment were discussed. Previous and recent research efforts related to factors influencing the properties of composite insulation panels were also compiled. Last but not least, the suitable criteria, limiting factors, and condition of the fiber used in composite insulation panels were also all highlighted.
