Abstract

In this article, an experimental work is presented to evaluate the sensorial properties of polyester fabric constructed by nano-filament yarn. For this purpose Nano Filament polyester fabric was fabricated and compared with the spun polyester/cotton (PC) and polyester/viscose (PV) blended fabric by using Kawabata evaluation system (KES-system) to assess the handle of the fabric based on mechanical characteristic. The results revealed that the fabric made from PC and PV blended fabric were stiffer than nano-filament polyester fabric. The higher hand value (THV) resulted in lower stiffness (Koshi), and higher smoothness (Numeri) and fullness (Fukurami). Hand values of PV blended fabric were close to nano-filament polyester fabric rather than PC fabric. The overall results of tensile, shearing, bending, compression and surface characteristics of nano-filament polyester fabric were found best as compared to PC and PV blended fabric.

Abstract

Ring spinning is the most common method used among the short staple fibers spinning methods. Due to limitations of the production speed in the ring spinning, new spinning methods become more popular with each passing day. Air-jet spinning systems gathered attention with their market share in the new spinning methods. In this study, the properties of the air-jet yarns were comparatively analyzed with the properties of the equivalent Ring yarns, for both single and ply-twisted forms. It was found that the Rieter and Murata air-jet yarns do not show significant differences in terms of physical properties of yarns. Due to their special structure, air-jet yarns show lower hairiness and tenacity values when compared to the equivalent Ring yarns.

Abstract

The fabrication procedure of tri-component elastic-conductive composite yarns (t-ECCYs) with distinctive architecture, which employs elastane filament as a core and stainless steel filament combining with rayon assemblies as a helical winding around the extensible core, was demonstrated. Then, a single factorial-analysis technique was applied to investigate the effects of processing variables, i.e., strand spacing, twist level and spindle speed, on some physical characteristics and spinning geometries of the resultant yarns, in terms of breaking tenacity, extension at break, elasticity, hairiness, unevenness, and visual features. Then, the electrical behavior was conducted. It is well established that the preparatory process variables play a significant role in deciding the physical characteristics of the final yarns. The Relationship between spinning geometries and yarn properties were highlighted. Experimental results revealed that the optimized physical performances of t-ECCYs were obtained at 10.5 mm strand spacing, 700 T/m twist, and 7000 rpm spindle speed. The resultant t-ECCYs could be a high-valuable proposition for special purposes in electrical textiles. The yarn itself is available as a base sensor element with substantial stretch and high conductivity, and such yarns could be easily processed into fabrics by conventional textile means offering fabrics with good shape preservation based on superior elasticity, even electromagnetic shielding effectiveness with metal monofilament inside, and can thus be applied as lightweight miniature electronics in the future.

Abstract

This paper introduces the special issue on strategic choices for recyclable clothing implementation. Substantial private implementation is needed if company management objectives to increase the share of recyclable clothing and prevent dangerous clothing risk be achieved. The aim of this paper, and the entire special issue, is to draw scholarly attention to the processes underlying strategic choices for recyclable clothing implementation. An modular apparel safety architecture (MASA) framework for supply chain management was developed and implemented to provide guidelines for apparel designers and manufactures to solve safe and sustainable problems related to apparel production. The MASA framework was developed by integrating modular theory and product recyclable concept into existing apparel design and production. Children’s clothing design and production was used to implement the MASA framework as a proof concept. The MASA framework is the first apparel design and production model that emphasizes safety and recyclability in addition to functional, expressive, and aesthetic considerations. The originality of this work is its ability to combine social, technical, environmental and economic aspects using modular theory in order to provide a more holistic point of view on factors impacting recyclable clothing system through the design and development of recyclable management modules.

The paper aims to open a new field of research applicable to small and medium enterprises in the clothing industry, namely, the focus on new product design by increasing the efficiency of fabric use and recycling and a value chain perspective that concentrates on downstream in the chain. The main objective of this paper is to present how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the clothing industry can achieve a competitive advantage by using a sustainable approach. This study provides useful solutions for understanding the product development processes for fashion to rethink, reuse or upcycle the waste in the production stage. We propose a better connection between different links of the value chain: design, production, marketing to create fashion items so when possible, this waste to be used to make new products and highlights the advantages of implementing this solution. Sustainable production can be a way of gaining a competitive advantage. This strategy can be successful by integrating the vertical value chain by strengthening the creative department, fashion design, and involvement in marketing and sales. In the clothing industry, the strategy of integrating design and retail can lead to a more flexible design process and, therefore, to an increased product performance.

Abstract

Lead aprons that are lead-shielding products are generally used for personal protection of physicians and patients from X-ray (gamma) radiation during medical operations; lead has environmental disadvantages, with high toxicity, though. Therefore, the aim of this research was to produce an environmentally friendly and flexible textile-based radiation shielding material. In this work, 2/2 twill, 3/1 twill, Herringbone, Whipcord, which are twill derivatives, Barathea and Crêpe woven fabrics, which are sateen derivatives, woven with textured steel yarns, which have soft feeling and flexibility, and gamma radiation shielding effectiveness of these fabrics were investigated and were not studied in the references. The effects of fabric structural characteristics such as weave, conductive weft yarn density, fabric thickness and porosity on these properties were analysed graphically and statistically. It is observed that with the biggest thicknesses and lowest porosities, Barathea and Crêpe woven fabrics performed better gamma radiation shielding performance than other woven fabrics. The samples F1 and E1, woven with Barathea and Crêpe weave, have the highest gamma radiation shielding effectiveness, thanks to the highest fabric thicknesses and lowest porosities. In addition, the increases of textured steel yarn density improved the gamma radiation shielding effectiveness of woven fabrics.

Abstract

This article focuses our attention on utility of silica based aerogel as insulation materials in protective clothing especially for fire fighters at higher temperature. In past, aerogels were employed for insulation of buildings, aeronautics and aerospace applications. Later on, researchers determined the utility of aerogels as insulated substrate in protective clothing. Several investigations revealed insulation properties of aerogel at elevated temperature. There are several different types of aerogel but in this article, the main emphasis is on silica based aerogel because of its excellent insulation and outstanding flame proof properties along with thermal stability at raised temperature. By applying suitable coating techniques, aerogel can be impregnated into nonwoven substrates, which can be employed as thermal barriers resulting in enhancement of the protective capability of multilayered clothing at higher temperature. All these characteristics make aerogel a potential candidate to be used as insulation material in protective clothing at elevated temperature.

Abstract

3D-to-2D garment design method emerges as a novel design solution for automatic garment design and production, especially for consumers with atypical morphology. In this paper, we introduced an application case of designing a personalized garment for physically disabled people with scoliosis (PDPS) using 3D-to-2D garment design method. A pattern modification model is proposed in order to satisfy the requirement of design automation. The proposed modification model is based on the evaluation of the 3D virtual try-on result using the professional knowledge of the designers. Research results indicate that 3D-to-2D garment design can effectively realize personalized design for atypical morphology. Also, using sensory evaluation, professional design knowledge of the designers can be fully applied to control the 2Dtechnical space of garment design based on the perception of 3D garment virtual try-on result.

Abstract

Inkjet printing is a type of non-impact printing with the ability to produce high quality color images. The application of this procedure is very delicate in term of the paste composition and the operative conditions. In this field, firstly the present paper investigates the drying morphologies for the coating film. Then, the effect of film compounds which are widely as functional coatings in textile was studied. Results show that the drying condition and the system thickener – urea compounds affect deeply the film coating morphology. Furthermore, the wetting and the impregnation behaviors are directly related to the studied system compounds and the experiment applications. Finally, these obtained results are confirmed by the wetting behavior on the knitted polyamide fabrics.

Abstract

The article addresses issues related to the discipline of medical surgery requiring special fiber features with physicochemical material potential and strongly controlled resistance properties. The proposed classifications and lines of approach of textile fibers in general medicine, and in particular in surgery, are of a teleological nature and equally are prerequisites for generic taxonomy in the field. The original proposal in this context is to expand the multi-type dimension of surgical wounds in specific clinical operations, starting from the finding that in fact cantoning in the fixed-type size/exclusive circular shape of the surgical thread means stagnation, moderation of innovation of rupture in the field.
