Abstract
In this paper, novel ternary composites consisting of polyurethane-foam-core, warp-knitted spacer fabrics and
polyurethane resin were involved. The composites obtain unique three-dimensional structures, high strength and a
variety of surface structures. The aim of this study was to investigate the flexural properties of the composites. First, the
warp-knitted spacer fabrics with different structural parameters were laminated with polyurethane foam to produce the
foam-core materials. Meanwhile, two types of microspheres were incorporated into the polyurethane foam. Then the
prepared foam-core materials were combined with polyurethane resin to fabricate the polyurethane composites. A
flexural test was conducted to investigate the effects of the surface structure of spacer fabrics, microspheres types and
contents on the flexural properties of the polyurethane composites. The findings show that the composites had excellent
flexural properties and the flexural performance can be significantly improved by varying the surface structure of the
fabric and the type of microspheres to meet specific end-user requirements.

Article: Appropriate software model for evaluating the effect of untreated and treated sisal fibre with different gauge length and strain rates for geotextile applications

Abstract
Geotextiles are commonly used as reinforcement in building, engineering and road laying applications. The sisal fibre
is one of the natural fibres which is used to reinforce soil and prevent damage. This sisal fibre is specifically helpful to
fill gaps between roads to improve soil structure, and prevent soil erosion but allows the water to drain off. This paper
is concerned with the study of the effect of gauge length on the strength and elongation of sisal fibres in untreated and
treated states with sodium hydroxide at different concentrations and duration of treatment. The reason for applying
sodium hydroxide treatment on sisal fibre is to remove the impurities from it and to improve the inter fibre adhesion with
resin for producing a composite. The effective reinforcement of composites with plant fibres depends on the moisture
content and the fibre matrix interfacial adhesion. Treatment with alkali improves the performance of fibres when they are
used as composites. Also, the effect of strain rate on the strength and elongation of sisal in untreated and treated states
has been investigated. The Weibull modelling software model has been used in many studies to quantify the degree of
variability in the fibres. This paper deals with the application of an appropriate software model such as the Weibull
distribution model for quantifying the variability in strength and elongation at different gauge lengths varied from 10 mm
to 100 mm and also varied the strain rate from 10 mm/min to 500 mm/min. In addition to the Weibull distribution model,
air plasma treatment and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analysis on sisal fibre were also carried out in this paper.
The result shows that the sisal fibre is more suitable for geotextile applications.

Abstract
This research paper aims to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on volatility patterns and its global
implication for the textile industry in China. The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a global health crisis with profound
economic, social and financial implications, but also has triggered a ruthless global recession. The global economic
recovery as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic can also generate significant investment opportunities for the textile
industry in China. In this paper, the application of empirical methods could explain historical prices, the movement
dynamics of financial assets, and investigate various important characteristics of asset pricing that explore details of the
Chinese stock market. The econometric framework includes the following: symmetric Generalize Autoregressive
Conditional Heteroscedastic GARCH (1,1) model, asymmetric GARCH models such as EGARCH and GJR models. The
main aim is to identify the asymmetric volatility effect, and impact of news on the SSE Composite Index and investigate
long memory properties in volatility using daily data for the sample period from 19th December 1990 to 31st December
2020. This empirical study contributes to the existing literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international
stock markets, by investigating symmetric and asymmetric volatility patterns in the case of the Shanghai Stock
Exchange from China.

Abstract
Parachutes are used for aerial projectile deceleration and trajectory control in the military field. Although the existing
multi-degree-of-freedom and multi-body dynamics model has a small amount of calculation, the external wind field
in this model is simplified, and the influence laws of which on the terminal trajectory are not clear. Therefore, a
projectile-parachute system is regarded as the research object in this work. A Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) model
was used to analyse this system’s terminal trajectory. The cases with different wind velocity, wind directions, and initial
trajectory angles were calculated. As a result, the external wind field has a great influence on the terminal trajectory of
this projectile-parachute system. The difference in impact points in cases is positively correlated with the external wind
velocity. At the same wind velocity, the trajectory in the upwind condition is easier to change than that in the downwind
condition, and the difference in impact points is negatively correlated with the initial trajectory angle. While the external
wind field has little influence on the projectile-parachute system’s deceleration, the swing angle, and the trajectory angle
of the canopy. This system’s deceleration effect in the initial dropping process is more obvious under the upwind
condition, and the deceleration effect will tend to be the same with the trajectory angle close to 90 degrees. Therefore,
the influence of the external wind field on the terminal trajectory can be effectively reduced by increasing the initial
trajectory angle, and the changes in canopy swing angle and trajectory angle will tend to be more stable in this situation.

Abstract
The textile industry causes various types of pollution due to extensive utilization of resources, resulting in harmful
impacts on the natural environment and people’s health. As a result, many environmental organizations and countries
are implementing various environmental safety policies. The developing countries are making less effort in the protection
of the global environment. Hence, it is very important to analyse the environmental sustainability situation of the
developing production markets and subsequently provide suggestions for improvement. Pakistan is a developing textile
market, providing a range of textile products around the world. This paper presents the results of a survey regarding the
environmental sustainability in the textile industry of Pakistan related to energy sustainability, water sustainability, air
sustainability, materials sustainability, transportation sustainability, safety & health and consumer use sustainability. For
the data collection, this research uses a structured questionnaire, interviews, and personal visits to 122 textile mills. Data
collected through a questionnaire related to the above areas of sustainability was analysed by calculating the frequency
distribution, mean, and median in the statistical software SPSS. The results of the data analysis exhibited that the
Pakistani textile companies are gradually improving many environmental sustainability areas. The paper identifies some
weak sustainability areas which need more attention to accelerate the implementation process. In addition, the textile
companies that are involved in international trade tend the implementation of environmental sustainability. In addition,
this study integrates the insights for policymakers and practitioners to improve the environmental sustainability in the
textile industry of the developing markets.

Abstract
In the process of texturing, smooth filaments are formed into crimpy yarns. By combining thermal and mechanical action,
thermoplastic fibres acquire a permanent wavy shape.
Since textured multifilament yarns, formed from POY PES filaments, produced on machines with high-temperature
heaters, are insufficiently studied, this paper analyses the deformation characteristics of yarns produced in industrial
conditions using different process parameters (primary heater temperature, yarn speed, yarn stretching, peripheral
speed of friction discs). Special attention is paid to the characteristics at the elastic limit, then at the creep limit, yield
and breaking of multifilament textured yarns. A method is proposed which can determine the key points of deformation
in the process of stretching textured polyester multifilament yarn, as well as the relationship between the values of force
and elongation at the limits of elasticity, creep, end of creep zone, yield and break.

Published online: August 2022
Abstract
The need for ready-made clothing and home textiles produced from natural and synthetic fibres is increasing day by day
in order to meet the needs of the increasing world population. Recently, the concepts of sustainability and recycling have
gained importance in the textile industry. The rapid change in today's trends has developed disposable habits. Due to
the rapidly changing fashion trends, the product variety has increased and mass production has been preferred.
Therefore, the priority for customers to choose the products was not the material used, but whether they fit the current
fashion trend. Thus, the use and production of natural fibres should be increased to reduce environmental pollution and
meet production demand. Thanks to recycling, it is possible to reuse the waste textile materials that we leave to nature.
Due to the increase in agricultural production costs, it has become difficult to obtain the raw materials used for textiles.
When a life cycle system is created for raw materials that evaluate them until it is produced in nature and then return to
nature, production with textile waste recycling can be advantageous. Using natural waste fibres instead of natural virgin
fibres to produce home textile products both reduces costs and makes production easier. In this study, recycled (waste)
cotton was obtained by shredding white, 100% cotton woven duvet covers and sheets purchased from a private hospital.
A 50%-50% waste-natural blend was created from the cotton obtained. 54 wire reference fabrics were woven using
open-end yarns numbered Ne24 and Ne12 produced from this blend. The physical characteristics of the fabric were
investigated. The results obtained were analysed statistically and the effect of the blend created on the fabric quality was
comprehensively examined.

Abstract
This study proposes to highlight the role of transformation leadership in enabling environmental sustainability efforts. In
this regard, a mediating role of green human resource management is investigated to understand the association
between transformation leadership and environmental sustainability. The study follows a quantitative and cross-sectional
research approach. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the responses from 200 managerial-level
employees of ISO-14001 certified textile organizations in Lahore, Pakistan. Furthermore, the study hypotheses were
tested by applying linear regression and Hayes’ Process in SPSS to determine the interconnected dependence of the
study variables. The findings of the study demonstrate that transformational leadership plays an instrumental role in the
implementation of environmental sustainability strategy. The results also reveal that green human resource management
significantly mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and environmental sustainability. The
research outcomes portray a stringent need to apply the transforming abilities of the organizational leaders for fostering
environmental initiatives; a contribution to a broader cause of global environmental sustainability.

Abstract
In the case of tangible cultural heritage items made of natural fibres, biodegradation due to microorganisms can lead
over time to undesirable deterioration, including physical, mechanical and chemical damage as well as aesthetic
alteration of materials. In this study, the antifungal activity tests were performed on 3 old maps (on silk, on canvas and
on paper) using the AATCC 30-2004 test method. Map samples were immersed in a chitosan solution (10 g/l) and
evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (ULTRA 55,
ZEISS). The process showed that, due to its antimicrobial effect, chitosan treatment is effective for removing external
agents and microorganisms present on fibre surfaces. The technique is simple, efficient and the results indicated that
chitosan can be transformed into a very good and cheap antimicrobial solution for the conservation and preservation of
heritage objects.

Abstract
Technological innovation is the key to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In order to analyse the role of
technological innovation from domestic innovation, import and FDI channels in the CO2 emissions reduction of China's
textile industry (CTI), this study uses OLS models to study the impact of domestic innovation, import technology spill
over and FDI technology spillover on CO2 emissions and CO2 emission intensity of CTI respectively. The research
results show that domestic innovation has significantly reduced CTI’s CO2 emissions and CO2 emission intensity, while
import technology spillover has increased them. FDI technology spillover has increased CO2 emission intensity, but its
impact on CO2 emissions isn’t significant. Therefore, China should take domestic R&D investment as the key measure
to reduce CTI’s CO2 emissions in the future and continue to improve the level of independent innovation. China should
also attract more low-carbon and green international investment and avoid becoming the "pollution heaven" for
high-emission capital. The level of technology embedded in the imported textile products should be improved further.
The use of various technological innovation strategies not only reduces CTI’s CO2 emissions but also makes positive
contributions to China's goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutralization"

Abstract
Hemp has been cultivated by man for its multiple uses: its solid fibres for textiles, its nutritious oilseeds and the medicinal
and therapeutic properties of its resin. Hemp is a technical plant that has been cultivated in Romania for over 2,000
years, its main use being to obtain fibres for making clothing. Before 1989, in Romania hemp was cultivated in large
areas, exceeding 50,000 hectares, ranking 4th in the world. After 1989, interest in cultivating hemp declined, and by
2008 this crop has almost disappeared.
Starting from national production capacity, this paper is presenting an overview of the textile market in Europe, with a
view on the hemp market, and the marketing possibilities for Romanian hemp, based on calculations retrieved from
official data available on INTRACEN and the National Institute of Statistics of Romania.
The study of production capacities was analysed in terms of cultivated areas and productions obtained in Romania,
reported in official national statistics. For a market projection, the data were extracted from the trade map database. The
export potential was studied taking into account the harmonized standard codes for hemp.

Abstract
The textile sector in India is the oldest manufacturing sector. As the raw materials for this sector are sourced from the
petrochemical industries, the earnings of Indian textile companies are dependent on the crude oil price. The crude price
in the international market has become more volatile and hence, the equity price of Indian textile companies has become
more volatile. This study aims to develop two price risk management strategies for Indian textile equities. Using the
vector autoregressive (VAR) model, a price forecast model, further the possibility of cross hedge for textile equities with
the help of crude futures is examined using the Granger causality test and Pearson correlation statistics. The results of
the study showed that crude futures price in India is one of the price determinants of textile industry stock prices.

Abstract
Bleeding, severe and infected wounds need to be cared for to facilitate recovery and prevent infection. The specific
requirements imposed on dressings for the treatment of these wounds depend fundamentally on the type of lesion;
moreover, they are based on the creation of an optimal environment that allows epithelial cells to move easily to facilitate
regeneration. The objective of the research is to provide a multilayer medical device with composite characteristics,
usable for basic medical interventions on superficial burns with thermal origin (flame and melts) occurred on anatomical
regions protected by clothes (so except face and eyes). The outer, second and interfacing layers have specific
characteristics. Regarding this aspect, 5 variants of woven textile structures were designed and made that differed in
the nature of the raw material, the density of the length/fineness of the threads in the weft, the density in the weft and
the binding. To characterize the populations of flat structures used to make the first layer of the matrix, methods specific
to descriptive statistics were used. The following fundamental statistical indicators were calculated for each of the
3 variables considered defining (mass, thickness and absorption capacity): mean, dispersion and standard deviation;
median and quartiles; eccentricity (skewness) and vaulting (kurtosis) for asymmetry and highlighting the cases in which
interventions should be performed (on the technological flow or on the programming scheme). The results obtained by
the statistical analysis of the groups of results allowed the findings to be generalized to larger populations, so for the
whole set from which the respective sample was extracted. Depending on location and the severity of wounds resulting
from shooting, explosions or fire (wounds that result in bleeding, impaired vital functions, the impotence of an anatomical
segment, celsiene signs, etc.), the first layer of the matrix can be made of woven textile materials. After correlating the
physico-mechanical characteristics of the textile structures with the subsequent processes (realization of layer II, layer
III and functionalization), the technical and physico-mechanical characteristics of the multilayer matrix will be
determined, and the location areas and the field of use (for haemostasis, regeneration of connective tissues or their
simultaneous combination) will be established.

Abstract
The subject of this paper was the investigation of the tactile and mechanical characteristics of printed specimens
achieved using the manual technique of screen printing. The specimens are printed using ink enriched with a puff base.
The puff base gives the print a three-dimensional shape and surface characteristics. This paper aims to investigate
whether such prints can be used to improve the ergonomic characteristics of a product that undergoes in-hand
manipulation. To determine the possibility of using a screen printing technique with a puff effect for ergonomic purposes,
two experiments were performed. The first experiment involved subjective investigation of the tactile properties of the
prints which are important since the end-users are people. The second experiment involved laboratory testing of the
resistance of prints to mechanical rubbing (colour rendering) which is important since the prints should be able to endure
a lot of in-hand manipulation. The specimens were printed using the manual screen printing technique on four different
textile substrates. Apart from the substrate, the amount of added puff substance in ink and the screen printing mesh
count varied. After testing the mechanical resistance to rubbing, colour differences were calculated. Based on the results
obtained, resistance to mechanical effect was confirmed, and it was determined which prints have the best resistance
and tactile features. Further investigations will be focused on investigating the same type of printing on different
materials, and discovering how can prints with puff effect contribute to in-hand object manipulation.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to create a new trisazo reactive dye ligand from 6-nitro-2-aminophenol-4-sulphonic acid,
resorcinol derivative, and vinyl sulphone para ester, as well as their metal complexes with Fe (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), and
Zn (II). The diazotization of 6-nitro-2-aminophenol-4-sulphonic acid was followed by coupling to resorcinol in an alkaline
medium for the synthesis of a mono-azo dye ligand. To make reactive dye, diazotized vinyl sulphone para ester was
coupled with 6-nitro-2-aminophenol-4-sulphonic acid resorcinol derivative in an alkaline medium. Metal complexes of
reactive dyes with 3d transition metals such as iron, nickel, copper, and zinc have also been created. The novel
synthesized reactive dyes were applied to cotton to see how well they dyed. Spectro-analytical techniques were used
to authenticate the compositions of all newly synthesized substances. The prepared reactive dyes were also used on
textiles for dyeing features such as light fastness and wash fastness and were found to have high values of 4–5 on the
grey scales, and 4–5 on the blue scales.
