Abstract
A series composite was prepared by adding hydrogenated carboxyl nitrile rubber (abbreviated HXNBR) as the matrix
and four-hole hollow polyester (abbreviated FHHPF) as the reinforcement. The sound absorption properties of these
composites were studied. The results show that with the increasing of FHHPF quantity, the storage modulus increases
and the loss factor decreases gradually. On the contrary, the sound absorption performance of the composite was
improved continuously. Composite with 40% FHHPF in 1 mm thickness is the best. The sound absorption coefficient
reached to 0.651 at 2500 Hz and the effective frequency range of absorption coefficient above 0.2 was 1750-2500 Hz.
When the amount of FHHPF increased to 50%, negative effects of overuse shown up, that led to the decreasing of the
sound absorption property. With a constant mass ratio 70/30 of HXNBR/FHHPF composite, the sound absorption
performance can be enhanced by changing its thickness. However, the improvement was smaller after the thickness
increased to 2 mm. When increasing the thickness above 2 mm, the improvement of sound absorption performance
tended to move to the middle and low frequency. In the meantime, the tensile mechanical properties of the composite
were significantly improved by adding FHHPF. Tensile tenacity was improved greatly and the breaking elongation is
significantly decreased. The deformation of the composite was smaller and more stable, which was beneficial for the
actual engineering practice.

Abstract
The establishment of a textile manufacturing facility in any city of a country is a very significant decision since it will have
a significant positive effect on the economy of both the city and the country and reduce unemployment in the city. Even
though it is a very important decision to establish a textile manufacturing facility, there are very few studies on the
location selection of the textile manufacturing facility. This study aims to propose a new integrated MCDM model
including FUCOM and PIV-F with GIS to fill this research gap. The criteria used in this study are as follows; Proximity
to Airport (PA), Proximity to Highway (PH), Proximity to Shopping Centre (PSC), Proximity to Railway (PR), Proximity to
Retailer Centre (PRC), Proximity to Supplier Centre (PSCT), Slope of Land (SL) and Distance to Population Density
(DPD). FUCOM was used to obtain criteria weights. PR criterion was designated as the most important criterion with
respect to the results of FUCOM. PIV-F method was used to rank suitable areas for a textile manufacturing facility in
Sivas province of Turkey. According to the results of PIV-F, Area-4 was determined as the most suitable area for the
establishment of a textile manufacturing facility in Sivas province. This study aims to make two contributions to the
literature. First, the fuzzy extension of the PIV method is newly developed. Second, a new integrated MCDM-GIS model
is used to select the location for the textile manufacturing facility.

Article: A preliminary study of printed electronics through flexography impression on flexible substrates

Abstract
The work is framed within Printed Electronics, an emerging technology for the manufacture of electronic products.
Among the different printing methods, the roll-to-roll flexography technique is used because it allows continuous
manufacturing and high productivity at low cost. Apart from the process parameters, the ink and the substrate properties
are some of the variables associated with the flexographic printing. Specifically, this study investigates the ink
penetration, the print uniformity, the adhesion, the fastness, and the electrical behaviour of the same conductive silver
ink printed on different flexible substrates through the flexography process. In addition to polymeric and siliconized paper
substrates, which are typical used in printed electronics, two substrates were also chosen for the study: woven and
nonwoven fabric. Optical, scanning electronic microscope (SEM), 4-point Kelvin and colour fastness to wash and
rubbing analyses have been performed. The results concluded that, regarding the conductivity behaviour, porous
substrates like textiles and nonwoven fabrics without pre and post treatments do not present acceptable results,
whereas polymers or silicone papers do. Nevertheless, woven and nonwoven fabrics are a suitable early option
regarding colour fastness to wash instead of thin polymeric and paper substrates that tear at the wash machine. A
solution for an optimal printing on textiles would be the surface substrates pre-treatment by applying different chemical
compounds that increase the adhesion of the ink on the fabric.

Abstract
The examination of contemporary textiles continuously offers amazing perspectives of the past for anyone who explores
them. The ethnographic textile pieces are complex, both from the perspective of the component materials and regarding
the techniques used for their manufacture. The action of conserving the cultural and artistic patrimony is firstly a matter
of scientific research and then of technical execution. However, the possible health effects on the personnel, which are
directly involved in the actions of sampling, conservation or restoration of the textile art objects, must always be taken
into consideration. Textile objects can be contaminated with various toxic residues (e.g., pesticides). When investigating
archaeological, modern and contemporary textiles it is very important to maintain the integrity of the artifacts, as they
cannot be replaced, and the consumption or damage of even a small part of them for analytical purposes should be
undertaken only if the data cannot be obtained differently. For determining the presence of pesticides in the samples
they must be subjected to processes such as: extraction, enrichment of samples, isolation, identification, and
quantification.
Given the above, the most common methods of extraction and determination of pesticides present in textile artifacts
were briefly discussed. Punctually, the analytical techniques used in the case of three selected pesticides (malathion,
methoxychlor and permethrin) were evaluated.

Abstract
In this paper, the vine-like structure of carbon bundles was designed through polyester fibre wrapping for better
mechanical properties. The effect of wrapped hybrid structure and diameters of polyester fibre on the mechanical
properties of carbon-polyester fibre/epoxy unidirectional composites was investigated experimentally. Five kinds of
specimens with different polyester filament diameters were produced. The impact, tensile and unidirectional
compressive properties of WHC (Wrap Hybrid Composite) were measured. Experimental results show that: it can be
developed with strength and toughness properties far superior to those of their constituents, the compressive fracture
morphology of specimens indicated that the fracture patterns of composites depend on wrapped hybrid structure,
polyester fibres with higher tensile strengths provide better impact resistance, while thinner wrapping fibres enhance the
compression properties of the composite material more effectively. The diameter of the wrapping fibre should be
optimized as per the application of the composite material. The vine-like structure can provide a new design method for
the structural design of continue fibre reinforced composite materials.

Abstract
This paper presents several aspects of the multivariate analysis of electroconductive composite based on Copper (Cu)
and Graphene. The analysis was developed by using the parameters (dependent and independent variables), which
characterize the composite materials with electroconductive properties. The experimental samples were obtained by
using 100% cotton fabrics with different structures. The goals followed through the variation of the fabric structures (e.g.,
plain weave, twill, panama, ribs) were to investigate if the fabric structure or ratio has or not influence on
electroconductive properties of the textile materials obtained by conductive coating. The samples created were based
on standard, and 3D digital printing technologies, more specifically on the textile surface, have deposited conductive
paste containing copper microparticles and graphene filaments. The initial coating with conductive polymeric paste
based Cu was developed by scraping of the paste on the fabric. Previously the 3D printing advanced technology by
fused deposition modeling (FDM) of the Conductive Graphene filaments was used.

Abstract
The basic intention of the presented research is to analyse the permeability properties of woven fabrics containing
two-ply fancy yarns in the weft direction. Within the framework of presented research, two-ply fancy yarns were
analysed. Because of their structure, they are classified as fancy yarns with structural effects. The first analysed two-ply
fancy yarn is made of the mixture of 81% cotton and 19% viscose. The second is made of the mixture of 67% viscose
and 33% flax. For the purpose of the presented research, woven fabrics containing two-ply fancy yarn were made in
three different densities in weft (10 threads per cm, 13 threads per cm, and 16 threads per cm) in the twill weave T 1/3 Z.
The theoretical part includes the historical development of the production of the fancy yarns, a detailed discussion of the
ring production processes, the types and the structure of the fancy yarns, their use, and the global and European market
of the fancy yarns. The experimental part consists of three parts. In the first part, the structural properties of the analysed
fancy yarns were researched (the fineness of the fancy yarn, the frequency of repeating the effects per one meter of the
yarn, the direction of twisting the fancy yarn, the number of the twists of the basic and the effective part, the diameter of
the fibers, the diameter of the basic and the effective part, the fineness of individual components, the direction of the
twist of individual components, and the percentage of the inside twist of individual components). In the second part,
constructional properties of the analysed woven fabrics with the fancy yarn in the weft were researched (mass,
thickness, the density of the warp and weft threads, and openness of the surface). In the third part, permeability
properties of the analysed woven fabrics with the fancy yarn in the weft were researched where greater attention was
paid to air permeability and water vapour permeability. The results of the research showed that the samples with the first
two-ply fancy yarn in the weft (81% cotton and 19% viscose) have greater air permeability and water vapour
permeability. Meanwhile, the samples with the second two-ply fancy yarn in the weft (67% viscose and 33% flax) have
lesser abrasion resistance and poorer dimensional stability while being washed.

Abstract
This paper is a study of the correlation of the thermal resistance (Rct) and the evaporative resistance (Ret) in vertically
and horizontally oriented air gaps by using the portable Permetest skin model. Experiments were done in a climatic
chamber; an isothermal condition for Ret tests and non-isothermal condition for Rct tests. Foamed polyethylene air gap
distance rings were prepared with a thickness of 2, 4 and 5 mm and their combinations to simulate the air gap distance
from 0 to 16 mm which is more than the expected average gap in clothing systems. Test samples were woven fabric of
100 percent cotton, 100 percent polyester and their blends plus 100 percent of polypropylene, all have similar weight
and structure. Results showed that with the increasing thickness of the air gap, Rct increased in a polynomial trend and
Ret in a linear proportional rate up to 12 mm then started to change due to the effect of free convection and the different
properties of materials. The surprising positive observation is that results from the horizontally and vertically oriented air
gaps are very similar, and most of the results from the vertical air gap are slightly lower than the results from the
horizontal air gap in all materials.

Abstract
Following the work of Kaminsky, Lizondo, and Reinhart (1997), Signals Extraction Approach has been adopted with
some extensions for South-East Asian (SEA) region to investigate the performance of the technique as an Early Warning
System (EWS) during Asian Financial Crisis (AFC) and Global Financial Crisis (GFC). This approach is very original in
the context of investigating the impact on the dynamics of the textile industry in South-East Asia. Two additional
approaches namely Signal to Noise Balance (STNB) and Kuipers Score (KS) have also been utilised. Outcome
suggested that variables performed well both during AFC and GFC. However, predictive ability of variables was less
during GFC compared to the AFC indicating that there may exist some complex phenomenon which requires composite
statistical methods.

Abstract
The textile industry of China has been facing with fierce competition and transformational pressures. It is of great
significance to study the evolution of textile industry’s technological progress and to predict the trends. The study
analyses the technological innovation ability of China’s textile industry based on the data of 270,145 patent applications
from 1987 to 2016. At the same time, the Logistic model is used to forecast the technology innovation capability of
China’s textile industry. The study found out: the number of Chinese textile patent applications is on a upward trend;
enterprises and universities are the most important patentee; the regional distribution of textile technology innovation is
uneven; the number of patent applications in the southeast coastal areas is the largest; the distribution of the IPC is also
uneven, D06 (fabric treatment) having the largest number of patent applications and the fastest growth rate; China’s
textile industry technology innovation has entered a maturity stage in 2018, and will enter the recession stage after 2027
based on the Logistic model.

Abstract
The supply system consists of several elements, which in their characteristics are distinguished in the overall structure
of the supply system. They are defined uniquely in accordance with the function they perform, and in reality they appear
at all levels of the budget system organization. Functioning of the supply system is possible only with the existence of
certain inventories or reserves of material assets. The stocks represent the prescribed and determined quantities of
material assets stored in the warehouses in order to ensure the normal functioning of the institutions.
Using the supplies management accounting model in textile industry is providing a continuous provision of equipment.
This is essential to reach the adequate level of competence, which is in line with autonomous budget financing
companies. Taking into account the specificity of the institutions, with an emphasis on the quality of the equipment, there
is also the possibility for savings in maintaining them.
The aim of this paper is to present how the inventory management accounting system can optimize costs in the textile
industry due to the full satisfaction of the optimal supply criterion.

Abstract
Silk fibres consist of sericin and fibroin. 20–25% of silk fibre is sericin. Sericin is biodegradable, antibacterial, and UV
resistant. In this study, silk sericin protein was applied to wool fabric as a pre-treatment. Wool fabrics pre-treated with
silk sericin were dyed with Eriofast Red B and Eriofast Blue 3R dyestuffs. Colour and reflectance measurements of the
dyed wool samples were carried out. Washing, rubbing, light fastness properties were explored. Moreover, hydrophilicity,
nitrogen content (Kjeldahl Method), FTIR and ESCA analysis were performed on the sericin applied wool fabric samples.
Pre-treatment with sericin was found to increase the hydrophilicity level of wool fibres. Pre-treatment with silk sericin
also increased the colour yield of wool fibre dyed with Eriofast Red B and Eriofast Blue 3R. It was determined that the
wool fibre fabrics pre-treated with sericin displayed sufficient colour and colour fastness values even after dyeing at
lower dyeing temperatures.

Abstract
Cool-touch nylon multi-filament yarns with good heat transfer performance are widely used in the development of knitted
fabrics for summer and sports clothing. However, the physical properties of cool-touch nylon fibres, and the effect of
fineness and cross-section on comfort-related properties of their knitted fabrics are still not well understood. In this study,
the physical properties of cool-touch nylon fibres and common nylon fibres, and comfort properties of knitted fabrics from
both fibre types were measured and compared. It was found that cool-touch nylon fibres have better moisture
absorption, but slightly lower crystallinity than common nylon fibres. Regarding the fibre fineness and cross-section of
cool-touch nylon and common nylon, knitted fabrics showed a similar dependence on thermal comfort properties.
Cool-touch nylon fabrics had increased wicking capacity, thermal transfer, and cooling properties, but poorer drying
performance and moisture permeability compared to common nylon fabrics. It was concluded that using nylon
multi-filament yarns made up of finer filaments and cool touch filaments is an effective way to develop thermal-wet
comfort knitted fabrics for summer and sports clothing applications.

Abstract
We investigated the potential of atmospheric plasma technology to enhance the properties of textile material against
flame propagation before and after washing. The effects of this treatment on the rigidification of the media were also
determined using draping and bending stiffness tests. We showed that deposing Silicone molecules on cotton fabrics
leads to flame retardant cotton with a conservation of the whole structure after burning. Moreover, washing of the sample
evidenced high permanency of the thin grafted coating against chemical domestic washing detergent. Nevertheless,
comfort properties of the textile decrease, which limits the applications of the plasma eco-friendly technology in the
clothing industry.
