Pressure injury (PI) is still a problem in health and home care both in developing and developed countries. PI is important to prevent because it has an impact on the physical, psychological, social, and economic aspects of the patient. One of the preventions of pressure injury is to choose the right textile, therefore this literature review aims to identify the right textile and can control microclimate in preventing PI. The Method used by searching the literature of scientific publications in the time of years between 2009-2019 using database Pubmed, Science Direct, Willey Online Library, Cochrane Library dan Google Scholar, there were 2.152 articles. The results of the literature review found six articles that fit the inclusion criteria and related to the use of textiles that can control microclimate in preventing pressure injury including textiles made from synthetic fabrics of silk, polyester, and synthetic fiber. Synthetic fiber textiles are best used as bedding because they control microclimate and reduce friction that can prevent the development of pressure injury.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p><strong></strong><br />The Majalaya textile industry, at Bandung Regency, is a textile centre prepared by the government as a national textile centre to meet clothing needs. This industry was able to develop and experience its heyday in the 1960s. At that time, this region was able to produce 40% of the total fabric production in Indonesia. Sarong, as its main product, was very popular throughout Indonesia and several other countries in Asia. But the<br />crisis that occurred in 1998 had a major impact on the textile industry in Majalaya. Many textile entrepreneurs are forced to close their production sites because of the declining purchasing power of the people and also the increasing cost of raw material for production. Only a handful of Majalaya sarong entrepreneurs have survived until now. In the midst of their efforts to survive, the problem that occurs at this time is the onslaught of imported textiles that flooded the market which impacted the sale of<br />Majalaya sarongs falling dramatically.These problems must be overcome with the aim of returning the Majalaya textile industry as the people’s economic power. Design in relation to this is aimed at producing products that are interested in consumers. Design is an important aspect of product development, also as one of the main criteria in the product selection process by buyers. To produce an interesting product it is necessary<br />to analyze consumer perceptions. The purpose is to know what aspects that affect consumer interest in buying products. These can be applied as a strategy for developing a product of Majalaya sarong. The survey method using a questionnaire to Majalaya sarong consumers can be done to determine consumer perceptions of Majalaya sarong products. By analyzing consumer perceptions, producers can develop a Majalaya sarong<br />product design strategy that suits consumer interest.</p><p> </p><p><br /><strong>Abstrak </strong><br />Industri tekstil Majalaya, di Kabupaten Bandung, merupakan sentra tekstil yang disiapkan pemerintah sebagai pusat tekstil nasional guna memenuhi kebutuhan sandang. Industri ini mampu berkembang dan mengalami puncak kejayaannya pada tahun 1960-an. Saat itu, wilayah ini mampu memproduksi 40% dari total produksi kain di Indonesia. Sarung, sebagai produk utamanya, sangat popular di seluruh Indonesia serta beberapa Negara di Asia. Namun krisis yang terjadi pada tahun 1998 berdampak besar bagi industri tekstil di Majalaya. Banyak pengusaha tekstil yang terpaksa menutup tempat produksinya karena daya beli masyarakat yang menurun dan juga kenaikan biaya bahan baku produksi. Hanya segelintir pengusaha sarung Majalaya yang masih bertahan menjalankan usahanya hingga sekarang. Di tengah usahanya untuk bertahan, permasalahan yang juga dialami pengusaha tekstil Majalaya saat ini adalah gempuran tekstil impor yang membanjiri pasar yang mengakibatkan penjualan sarung Majalaya turun drastis.Permasalahan yang dialami industri tekstil Majalaya tersebut harus diatasi dengan tujuan untuk mengembalikan industri tekstil Majalaya sebagai penggerak ekonomi rakyat. Peran desain dalam kaitannya dengan hal ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan produk yang diminati masyarakat. Desain merupakan aspek yang penting bagi pengembangan produk, juga sebagai salah satu kriteria utama dalam proses pemilihan produk oleh pembeli. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk menghasilkan produk yang diminati adalah dengan menganalisis persepsi konsumen. Hal ini dilakukan karena tujuan dari analisis persepsi konsumen adalah untuk mengetahui aspek-aspek apa saja yang mempengaruhi minat konsumen untuk membeli produk. Aspek-aspek tersebut dapat diterapkan sebagai strategi untuk pengembangan produk sarung Majalaya. Metode survey dengan menggunakan kuisioner kepada konsumen sarung Majalaya dapat dilakukan untuk mengetahui persepsi konsumen terhadap produk sarung Majalaya. Dengan menganalisis persepsi konsumen, maka produsen dapat membuat strategi desain produk sarung Majalaya yang sesuai dengan minat konsumen.</p>

The fabrics used to make parachutes and paragliders must have the several specific characteristics: the mass of fabric per unit of surface must be low while the other physical- mechanical characteristics (the axial breaking strength load, the relative and absolute elongation, the tear resistance of the fabric and the assemblies, air permeability) must be at a maximum. The paper deals with the analysis of qualitative aspects of several parachute fabrics that are used as a baseline in the development of a novel fabric. The results of experiments have materialized in statistical data, diagrams and graphs and their interpretation leads to the determination of the fabric variant that best meets the requirements of the destination. The destination is a patent pending inflatable wing design that utilizes a single skin construction and solid reinforcements in the sewing for shape stability. It is worth noting that the experimental results were compared with values indicated in specific international testing norms.

Abstract:This article examines the impact of Chinese textile imports on the organization and politics of women’s textile trading networks in Benin. The incursion of cheap Chinese textiles into markets formerly dominated by imported European fabrics has shifted the balance of power between networks of traders in Benin’s textile market, reconfiguring relations between textile traders, state officials, and international companies. Focusing on political and economic dimensions of trading networks, the article reveals how global linkages transform local economic networks and how local actors structure networks for global economic partners. Far from bypassing state actors, this process is shown to incorporate state officials from above and from below, splintering established trading networks and weaving new ones from emerging configurations of traders, state officials, and global textile exporters.

Ikat is an ancient technique by which colored patterns are formed by tying and dyeing threads before they are woven. Ikat is an ancient resist dyeing technique in which the yarns are tied and dyed according to a specific pattern prior to weaving. This paper focuses on Atlas and Patola, the most famous ikat fabrics in China and India respectively as the research objects. The effort is to provide comparative analysis from the aspects of weaving technology, pattern style, composition characteristics and colors, based on literature and images. Although they are similar in production process, they have very different characteristics due to cultural background, religion, environment and aesthetic tastes of consumers and weavers. Both textiles showcase the local plants, flowers and colour preferences. Islam influences Atlas textiles and hence without animal and figurative pattern. Patola has different patterns for consumers from different religious following. Atlas and Patola are the fabrics of inheritance and represent two different regions and cultures.

Full textAbstract:
Innovative approaches for preparing flame retardant cotton fabrics were employed by utilizing a microwave-assisted technique with a minimum amount of co-solvent. Our attempts at flame retardant cotton fabrics treated with low cost inorganic formulations, such as urea and diammonium phosphate, were done successfully. The evidence of flame retardant chemical penetrations or surface modification of cotton fabrics was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the treated cotton fabrics were evaluated by flammability tests, such as 45° angle (clothing textiles test), vertical flame (clothing textile test) and limiting oxygen index (LOI). For formulations with urea only, LOI values of treated fabrics were 21.0–22.0% after add-on values for the formulation were 5.16–18.22%. For formulations comprising urea with diammonium phosphate, LOI values were greater than 29.0% after add-on values for the formulation were 1.85–7.73%. With the formulation comprising urea and diammonium phosphate, all treated fabrics passed the vertical flame test for add-on values 5.34–7.73%. Their char lengths were less than half the length of the original fabric and after-flame and after-glow times were less than 3.2 s. Additional thermal properties of desired products will be discussed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and microscale combustion calorimeter (MCC).

The textile industry produces large quantities of waste and scrap materials. Most of this waste requires disposal. Both environmental and economic benefits could be derived by developing commercial products to use these materials. Environmentally acceptable textile products include those that utilize recycled materials, or materials that have not been chemically processed. Such products are often not economically profitable because of the added expense necessary for environmental protection. Development of such a cost-effective textile product requires use of low-cost materials, minimal cost production processes, and finishes that have already been developed and tested.The objective of this research was to develop a semi-disposable, economical, light-weight, comfortable thermal blanket that would be both flame-resistant and antibacterial through a limited number of laundry cycles. Targeted uses would be in medical and health care facilities, disaster relief centers, short term and emergency housing needs, recreational areas such as camping, and in military maneuvers where environmental conditions could be harmful to long-term products.

Full textAbstract:
Textile products are considered as an acceptable alternative for commonly used composite reinforcement due to their lightweight as well as relatively high specific strength and stiffness. Among the variety of textile structures which could be employed in composite manufacturing, the role of weft-knitted fabrics is almost very limited. This is because employing the weft-knitting technology would provide such structures with inferior mechanical properties due to their highly looped construction as well as low fiber volume fraction. But on other hand, it is important to be noted that some advantages such as high energy absorption, good impact resistance, and formability of knitted structures made the researchers to focus on investigating different methods by which the inferior mechanical properties of ordinary weft-knitted fabrics could be improved. Inserting the reinforcing yarns through the warp and weft direction of the knitted fabrics is considered as one of the effective solution for improving their mechanical behavior which eventually leads to a high potential product called as biaxial weft-knitted fabrics. In this literature, it is aimed to review different aspects of novel designed biaxial weft-knitted fabrics which could be suitable for a broad area of technical application such as composite reinforcements.

Full textAbstract:
Ballistic impact onto flexible woven textile fabrics is a complicated multi-scale problem given the structural hierarchy of the materials, anisotropic material behavior, projectile geometry–fabric interactions, impact velocity and boundary conditions. Although this subject has been an active area of research for decades, the fundamental mechanisms, such as material failure, dynamic response and multi-axial loading occurring at the lower length scales during impact, are not well understood. This paper reviews the recent advances in modeling and experiments of Kevlar ballistic fibrils, fibers, yarns and flexible woven textile fabrics pertinent to the deformation modes occurring during impact and serves to identify topics worthy of further investigation that will advance the basic understanding of the phenomena governing transverse impact. This review also explores aspects such as homogeneous versus heterogeneous behavior of yarns consisting of individual fibers and the inelastic transverse behavior of the fiber, which is not considered in the previous review papers on this topic.

Abstract The voyages of Captain James Cook (1728–1779) inaugurated, among manifold historical processes, an encounter of textile traditions. Pacific Islanders were keenly interested in European fabrics; Europeans were fascinated by Oceanic textiles such as beaten bark cloth, which was extensively collected from Cook’s first voyage onwards. Among manifestations of European interest, bark cloth sample books such as those produced as multiples by Alexander Shaw in 1787 have been a focus of research and curatorial activity in recent years. This essay considers a recently-identified book of specimens which pre-dates Shaw’s by some fifteen years. It exemplifies a brief but seemingly intense European interest in Polynesian bark cloth, embracing the fabrics’ technical, material, aesthetic, social and ritual aspects.

Full textAbstract:
Natural resources can be conserved if we carefully maintain the building stock and indeed extend the useful economic life of buildings. One way to achieve this is to enhance load-bearing structures by repair, restoration, or strengthening. Such upgrading often involves applying a strengthening to existing concrete elements. Over the past decade, textile-reinforced concrete (TRC), encompassing a combination of fine-grained concrete and noncorrosive multiaxial textile fabrics, has emerged as a promising novel alternative for strengthening of conventional steel-reinforced concrete (RC) structures, offering enhanced load-bearing capacity with minimal weight and stiffness change. Although TRC has been extensively researched during the last two decades, the formalization of experimental methods and design standards is still in progress. Attempts to design for good load transfer are often hindered by lack of knowledge regarding bond behaviour. For instance, there are neither standard recommendations nor proofs regarding the required development length of textile fibres in TRC for practical applications up to now. The aim of this work was to provide a test specification, which gives a direct result for the development length (required for the anchorage of a reinforcement, also referred to as “anchorage length”) of textile reinforcements in fine-grained concrete—quickly and easily. The aim of this paper was to present the test specification developed in a way that it is useful for the future work of other researchers as well as for construction engineers. Some selected experimental investigations with different textile reinforcements and different bonding properties were performed with the aim of showing the applicability of the proposed adaptive test specification. The results of these tests indicated that conventional AR glass and carbon fabrics without coating required large anchoring lengths. The tests further showed that an additional application of different kinds of coating to textile fabrics greatly increased the reinforcement’s resistance to pullout. This is of special interest for carbon fibres, which have a substantially higher strength than AR glass fibres and different bond behaviour; that is, carbon fibres have, by nature, larger development lengths.

Full textAbstract:
The hydrophilicity of fibers is directly related to the comfort of a fabric and represents one of the most important aspects of a textile. Therefore, polyester (PES) modification has focused on an increase in moisture content and a subsequent improvement of the user’s experience. Based on the glycerol hygroscopic properties, the main objective has been the enhancement of the hydrophilicity of polyester by glycerol treatments. Furthermore, microwave irradiation and alkaline treatment have been applied, in order to increase glycerol adhesion. Treated PES samples were characterized by performing moisture content, negative ion, water diffusion and water vapor resistance analyses. The effect of different treatment conditions such as bath ratio (1/10 or 1/15), temperature (40, 60 or 100 °C), time (2 or 5 min) and microwave radiation intensity (300 or 500 W) was evaluated. The moisture content of treated PES results indicated that by decreasing the bath ratio and increasing the time and temperature the moisture gain can reach almost 14%, which can be easily related to increases in the weight of the fiber. The treatment with alkali was done and led to the highest moisture increase. Treatment with 500 W microwave irradiation led to higher glycerol retention after rinsing. Different experimental conditions were applied to the glycerol-treated PES fabrics, and a clear improvement in moisture content was obtained increasing the comfort. The results were compared with the ones obtained for cotton and wool, where the moisture is higher than non treated PES.

Full textAbstract:
Moisture management is a complicated process which is known to be influenced by a variety of fabric characteristics such as fibre nature (hydrophilic or hydrophobic), porosity and thickness. There are different aspects of the moisture management properties of textile materials since water transport in textile materials can be in the form of liquid and vapour. The ability of textile materials to transfer water vapour allows the human body to keep thermal balance due to evaporation. With stronger physical activity of a person when the body produces a large amount of heat, the skin perspiration increases (in order to regulate the body temperature) and liquid sweat should be taken from the skin, otherwise it will worsen the sense of comfort. The aim of this research was to investigate the factors influencing moisture management properties of plain knitted fabrics at the three scale levels, i.e. microscopic (fibre type), mesoscopic (yarn geometry) and macroscopic (fabric porosity) levels. Plain knitted fabrics were produced from the two-assembled hemp, cotton and viscose yarns under controlled conditions so as to be comparable in basic construction characteristics, but varying in yarns geometry. Evaporative resistance test reflecting vapour transport and water distribution test reflecting liquid transport in the knitted fabrics were conducted. To determine the statistical importance of the results, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied. As a consequence of the geometry and deformation behaviour of the fibres used and spinning techniques applied, the yarns differed in both packing density and surface geometry, thus determining the pore distribution. Due to loose structure of the cotton yarn, the cotton knitted fabric was characterised by the lowest free open surface (macroporosity) exhibiting the lowest both water vapour and liquid permeability. Although having the highest macroporosity, the water vapour and liquid transport capability of the hemp knitted fabric was lower than that of the viscose knit. The best moisture management properties of the viscose knitted fabric were resulted from viscose affinity for water absorption and increased surface area of the viscose yarn. The results obtained proved that variations in any of the hierarchical structure levels can modify moisture transport ability of textile fabrics. Therefore, the moisture management properties of textile materials can be guided in a desired direction by the appropriate selection of fibres and careful design of yarn structure.

Abstract To realize the full gamut of functions that are envisaged for electronic textiles (e-textiles) a range of semiconducting, conducting and electrochemically active materials are needed. This article will discuss how metals, conducting polymers, carbon nanotubes, and two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene and MXenes, can be used in concert to create e-textile materials, from fibers and yarns to patterned fabrics. Many of the most promising architectures utilize several classes of materials (e.g., elastic fibers composed of a conducting material and a stretchable polymer, or textile devices constructed with conducting polymers or 2D materials and metal electrodes). While an increasing number of materials and devices display a promising degree of wash and wear resistance, sustainability aspects of e-textiles will require greater attention. Graphical abstract

Biotechnology is an ecological advantageous and moreover economically beneficial technology. The most established application of biotechnology in textiles has been in the field of enzymatic pretreatment. Glucose oxidase (GOD) catalyse the oxidation of b-D-glucose into gluconic acid by utilizing molecular oxygen as an electron acceptor with a simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide (HP). Glucose oxidases are commercially gaining a lot of attention in textile technology. In an enzymatic pretreatment, the textile substrate is less damaged when compared to a classical pretreatment. Enzymatic pre-treatments of cellulose fabrics often save large amounts of raw materials, chemicals, energy and water. Bleaching with glucose oxidase thus represents an economic and ecological potential when compared to the classical process with added hydrogen peroxide. This review represents the basic properties and production of glucose oxidases and their applications in textile technology.

Fabric shedding during laundering is detrimental to the longevity of clothing textiles, and in the case of non-biodegradable, synthetic fabrics, it is a source of diffuse microplastic fiber pollution. Textile recycling offers numerous economic and environmental benefits; however differences in fabric shedding due to their recycled fiber contents are relatively unknown. Accelerated laundering experiments were conducted to quantify the shedding propensity and characteristics of cotton knit, polyester knit, and twill weave fabrics, each at three differing recycled fiber contents. The 70% recycled polyester shed significantly fewer microfibers than the 40% recycled polyester. No other significant influences of recycled fiber content on shedding propensity were identified. The mean length of shed fibers from the 70% recycled polyester was significantly higher than that of the virgin polyester and the 40% recycled polyester.

Lucky Textile Group is one of the textile manufacturing companies in Indonesia. Lucky Textile Group has 2 companies, each of which has different production results but is mutually sustainable. PT. Benang Citra Indonesia and PT. Lucky Print Abadi is part of the Lucky Textile Group. PT. Yarn Citra Indonesia currently produces yarn with the main raw material, namely cotton, while PT. Lucky Print Abadi produces woven and finishing fabrics (Printing, Dying and White). The raw material for making woven fabric is yarn obtained from PT. Yarn Citra Indonesia or can also be from an outside factory according to the type of raw materials needed. Then it is processed into finishing cloth (Printing, Dyeing and White) according to the customer's request. It is known that market competition in Indonesia is increasingly flooded with imported textile products so that competition in the textile industry in Indonesia is getting tougher, where competitors from Vietnam and Bangladesh also make many Indonesian textile producers fall. The textile and textile product industry (TPT) of Indonesia is one of the strategic national manufacturing industries in the Indonesian economy, because of its contribution to 2 (two) national interests. First in the social field, through employment and opening up employment opportunities. Second in the economic sector, namely the average foreign exchange generated by the textile sector in the last 5 years reached US $ 7.92 billion with a growth rate of 8.5% and contributed the largest foreign exchange of all Indonesian export commodities. Therefore through the SWOT analysis, it is expected to be able to understand the strength of the Lucky Textile Group in facing global competition.

Full textAbstract:
In textile manufacturing, many fiber manufacturing, dyeing and finishing processes require temperatures in the range of 100oC to 200oC. A substantial amount of energy is needed to produce the desired temperature, and part of this energy is wasted when heat from the process escapes to the environment. Many of the processes are batch processes requiring frequent reheating and restarting. Most process equipment is constructed from stainless steel, which is a good conductor of heat. In addition to this, because of the cost involved in installation and regular maintenance of insulation, many manufacturers do not insulate their process equipment. The heat and moisture loss to the environment makes the manufacturing facilities environmentally uncomfortable for employees. This reduces their productivity and is a health risk. Due to the energy wasted in the textile wet processing industry, there is a need to develop suitable insulating materials specifically for these applications. For commercial applications, both the cost of the insulating material as well as its effectiveness, ease of installation and durability are important. Needlepunched fabrics have the potential to meet these demands [1]. Since low density needled felts with good heat blocking capacity can be made from durable fibers, they are ideal for heat insulation applications [1,2]. This research focuses on identifying suitable fibers and the manufacturing technology which will yield the desired results. After testing of prepared samples, the data was analyzed to determine the fabric and fiber parameters which influence heat transfer. An economic analysis was also conducted to optimize both cost and effectiveness. The important factors contributing to the transfer of heat through needlepunched nonwoven fabrics were found to be the bulk density of the batt and the surface area of the fibers. Incorporation of low denier fibers (meltblown web) in the needlepunched structure led to a significant decrease in the apparent thermal conductivity of the batt. A cost analysis of this insulation (incorporating the meltblown web) determined the optimum thickness of such an insulation to be 10.1 mm.

Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, primarily driven by its textile industries. A high amount of water is consumed and polluted in the production and processing of raw material to the final product in the textile industry. Therefore, water footprint assessment is important for textile products. In this study, the water footprint of cotton cultivation, transportation and textile industry was calculated by analyzing the amount of imported cotton, production and processing capacity of cotton yarn and cotton fabrics, wastewater volume, number of workers and pollution load database, for 2012–2016. For the textile industry, the annual water footprint was found to be 1.8 billion m3. This high amount of water footprint and water pollution may result in depletion of groundwater level and can lead to major health problems for the local people, respectively. Total water footprint for ready-made garment product is found to be 27.56 billion m3, whereas considering proper water treatment and water reuse facilities can reduce the grey water footprint to around 1.26 billion m3. This study shows the extent of water pollution, groundwater depletion and economic impact of groundwater extraction, and possible means to reduce water footprint in cotton cultivation and textile industries.

Fiber technology has stepped into an essential position in the textile industry. It is forecasted that smart textiles will keep on developing constantly and vigorously. Having a convenient drug delivery system for treating various illnesses and bacterial infections is always in demand. Hollow fibers, which consist of a hollow structure and exceptional characteristics, such as high loading capacity and high surface reactivity, have been considerably used in medical equipment. A pilot study was performed in this paper for opening up environmentally friendly, convenient and repeatable drug delivery functions of industrial, ready-made hollow fibers for sustainable development in various aspects. The hollow fiber drug delivery system of this project is believed to tackle the challenges observed from the traditional drug delivery system, which include the following: (1) replacement of one-time delivery by repeatable drug loading and releasing; (2) loading complex drugs, such as in Chinese medicine; (3) using common materials available in the current textile market. Nylon 6 hollow fiber was the main subject of the pilot study. Its drug loading capability was investigated with the application of woven fabrics via the process of simple and direct drug loading under negative pressure (i.e. vacuum). The antibacterial performance of the drug-loaded fabrics and the drug release kinetics of the hollow fibers were examined.

Economic, financial and political development has strongly influenced on the textile industry, which accelerated the pace of change. In order to catch the pace it is necessary to take certain steps now or in the near future. The Far East countries record high economic growth, while other, mostly developed industrial countries growth has considerably declined. Consumer behaviour tends to restrain from purchasing of clothing products, raw material prices are growing and lack of raw materials on the market is noticeable. These trends are causing a certain amount of restlessness in the textile industry. The textile and clothing industry have their distinctive features visible in a manufacturing sector which dominantly depends on brand name firms that spread their business all over the world. Production mainly takes place in developing and fast growing countries, since their production destinations, working conditions and wages are most affordable. For example, about 90 % of clothing items sold in northern countries are produced in Eastern Europe or at the Far East. At the same time, in the northern countries, where most of clothing products are sold, manufacturing facilities of the clothing industry almost doesn’t exist.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, three different biological methods—a conventional activated sludge (CAS) system, membrane bioreactor (MBR), and moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)—were investigated to treat textile wastewater from a local industry. The results showed that technically, MBR was the most efficient technology, of which the chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and color removal efficiency were 91%, 99.4%, and 80%, respectively, with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1.3 days. MBBR, on the other hand, had a similar COD removal performance compared with CAS (82% vs. 83%) with halved HRT (1 day vs. 2 days) and 73% of TSS removed, while CAS had 66%. Economically, MBBR was a more attractive option for an industrial-scale plant since it saved 68.4% of the capital expenditures (CAPEX) and had the same operational expenditures (OPEX) as MBR. The MBBR system also had lower environmental impacts compared with CAS and MBR processes in the life cycle assessment (LCA) study, since it reduced the consumption of electricity and decolorizing agent with respect to CAS. According to the results of economic and LCA analyses, the water treated by the MBBR system was reused to make new dyeings because water reuse in the textile industry, which is a large water consumer, could achieve environmental and economic benefits. The quality of new dyed fabrics was within the acceptable limits of the textile industry.

In this article the hot water test is presented on thin UHPC slabs that are reinforced by a new type of armature. It is a textile armature, which should replace the classic metal (steel) armature. Textile armature should not only reduce the cost of production, but, because it is not susceptible to corrosion as conventional steel armature, panels can be designed with significantly less cover thickness in achieving similar or longer lifetime of these elements. The combination of UHPC concrete with a minimum thickness of cover and textile armature allows design elements weighing up to 70 % lower compared to conventional concrete elements with conventional armature. This can achieve significant savings and benefits not only in economic aspects, but also in environmental aspects.

Full textAbstract:
This work presents a simple and flexible method for theoretical calculation of the main structural parameter of weft-knitted fabrics’—the loop length and one of the main characteristics of textile fabrics—area density, which combines physical and economical aspects. It helps to predict many physical properties and the mechanical behaviour, which is especially important for protective textiles, and allows predicting potential yarn consumption for knitting of one square meter of the fabric. The main idea of the proposed method, based on Čiukas geometrical model, is to calculate different parts of the knitted loop separately, which gives a great flexibility of such modelling. The proposed theoretical formulas can be used for various weft-knitted structures, give very low errors to empirical calculations, and are easy to use. It is a big advantage because known geometric models only allow a loop length of some particular pattern to be calculated, usually of single jersey or rib 1 × 1.

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

Full textAbstract:
The textile sector, an important economic driving force in Antioquia, Colombia, uses great quantities of thermal energy mainly produced by coal combustion, which holds enormous potential for recovery. One of the most common processes in a textile plant is heat setting, which uses a significant amount of thermal energy to adjust the properties of fabrics, such as shrinking, stiffness, pull strength, width, and stretching. In this study, we calculate the mass and energy balances of a stenter and propose a system to recover the energy available in its exhaust gases. The energy recovery potential in this heat setting process is 800.97 kW, which represents 87.2% of the total input energy. Additionally, we evaluate different heat exchangers to recover the available heat and present criteria to select them. Finally, thermosyphons, whose thermal efficiency was theoretically determined here, offer a promising alternative for heat recovery from actual stenters.

Full textAbstract:
Feeling strong pressure from Western Powers Japan abandoned her seclusion policy in 1854 and inaugurated serious efforts to modernize her society and economy after the Meiji Restoration in 1868. She, in turn, forced Korea who had been keeping the seclusion policy on her own to open the door in 1876. The feudal Korean government (the Yi Dynasty, 1392–1910) was impelled to embark on social and economic reforms by opening the door. Yet, after nearly thirty years’ struggle to make reforms and to secure the independence of the country, Korea was converted into a protectorate of Japan in 1905 and was officially annexed to her in 1910. The Japanese government recognized that the creation of modern monetary and banking systems in Korea was the precondition for trade expansion between the two countries (for Japan, rice imports on the one hand and textile exports on the other) and thus started its colonial rule over Korea by establishing a central bank, development banks and financial cooperatives. This paper aims at setting forth an analysis of a more or less unexplored field in the study of the economic history of Korea, that is, the financial aspects of her economic growth under Japanese rule. Particularly, emphasis will be placed on quantitative analysis of major financial variables represented by money, interest rates and bank credit. Before proceeding to the main subject, it may well serve to review some of the financial problems in the late Yi Dynasty period.

Full textAbstract:
To be properly used in the textile industry, the natural materials are subject to different pretreatments. During the scouring, the non-cellulosic attendants (wax, pectin, pigments) are removed. The enzymes have proved their efficiency in this regard but also in terms of being friendly with the environment. The textile industry is a water large consumer, comprising many wet processes: bioscouring, bleaching, mercerizing, and dyeing. The water quantity needed for each step is very high. The resulted wastewater comprises different types of chemicals, most of them non-biodegradable: acids, sodium hydroxide, hypochlorites, peroxides, etc. The actual trends and legislation require the change of classical methods used with ecological ones. One particular reason for this tendency is also related to the economic issue, the use of eco-friendly treatments leading to significant economical savings. The present study was focused on enzymatic treatments with the use of two chelating agents (sodium citrate and EDTA) to remove the flax/cotton fabric impurities. The new proposed scouring treatment, with sodium citrate as a chelating agent, presents less aggressivity to the environment compared with the classical one. The temperature used was lower (55 °C), the pH close to the neutral point, and biodegradable chemicals were used. The chosen technology included a series of independent steps which they assumed: washing of flax/cotton fabric at 100 °C for dust and physically linked impurities removing, dried at room temperature, and conditioning at 105 °C in the oven for 2h. Afterward, the samples were immersed in the reaction bath which contained a mixture of pectinolytic products, the chelating agents (sodium citrate or EDTA), and the surfactant. The hydrolytic reaction was optimised following the influence of a pair of parameters: enzyme concentration/exposure time. Water samples from each reaction bath were collected and different physicochemical parameters were analysed: pH, salinity, TDS, conductivity, DO, CCOMn, turbidity and dry residue. The results obtained were following the legislation. In the case of the classical treatment, the data was up to 100 % higher compared with the new proposed treatment were complexing agent sodium citrate was used. Analysing from different points of view the results obtained, we can say that the considered treatment could be a promising alternative to the current one. It might contribute to less wastewater pollution and technological economical improvement.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of the textile industry and the massive use of plastic-based materials create economic growth, but it produces waste from post-use, such as clothing waste from cotton fabrics and HDPE that can be recycled and combined as composite materials. Therefore, an experiment was carried out to investigate and analyze the effect of the fiber volume fraction of waste cotton fabric (1.5%, 3.5%, 4.5%, 6%, and 7.5%) with straight fiber arrangement on the tensile strength and density. From the test results, a tensile strength of 178.4 MPa and 182.6 MPa was obtained for yield and max stress, respectively at a fiber volume fraction of 7.5%. Meanwhile, the highest density of 0.95 g/cm3 was obtained at 1.5% fiber volume fraction. The fracture macroscopic view of the specimen shows a resilience fracture (uneven and appears stringy). Although the strength of this composite cannot yet compete with the new composite material, it has a decent environmental contribution. Considering the availability of waste cotton fabrics and HDPE, it promises to be produced as a low-strength composite for construction, ornamentation, or coatings.

Full textAbstract:
An examination is presented of the relevance of luxury to the wool textile and garment supply chain. This examination leads to a review of the concept and importance of fabric handle as a means of defining important aspects of fabric quality. Examples are given for woven fabrics of the general relationships between subjectively assessed fabric handle attributes such as fabric softness and smoothness and measured low stress, generally high deformation, fabric properties such as fabric bending rigidity and extensibility. A brief overview is presented of the development of a system for predicting a set of subjectively assessed handle attributes for next-to-skin knitted fabrics from measurable fabric properties. Seven handle attributes selected by experienced assessors as being important for defining tactile sensations associated with next-to-skin knitted fabrics were: fabric smoothness, hairiness, softness, tightness, dryness, warmth and weight. Subjective assessments on a 1–10 scale of these seven attributes, plus an assessment of overall handle, were conducted by 12 experienced assessors on 74 next-to-skin knitted fabrics. The precision of the mean assessment of the 12 assessors ranged between 0.8 and 1.1, indicating that there was sufficient consensus on key fabric handle assessments to justify development of a method for predicting them from measurements of the physical properties of fabrics. All fabrics were tested using the PhabrOmeter fabric evaluation system, which records the force exerted during insertion of a fabric into and through an orifice. Geometric parameters were derived to describe the PhabrOmeter force-displacement curve results, and statistical models were developed to predict the average handle assessments of the 12 assessors. The precision of the models in predicting the handle intensities of eight fabric attributes on an independent validation set of 22 fabrics was significantly better than the precision of an individual assessor (confidence limits = 1.4–2.6 and 2.5–3.8, for predicted and assessed ratings, respectively). A case is made that this technology has the potential to assist in the growth of new markets for Merino wool products.

Purpose The utilisation of softener after laundering of textile became one of the mandatory activities among the consumers. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of repeated rinse cycle softener treatment on the comfort characteristics of cotton and polyester woven fabric. Design/methodology/approach The selected cotton and polyester fabrics were treated using three different softeners types and three different numbers of rinsing times, namely 5, 10 and 15. The impact of repeated rinse cycle softener treatment on the comfort characteristics like absorbency, air permeability, wicking, thermal conductivity and flammability was analysed and the changes in the properties were confirmed using two-way ANOVA. Findings The number of rinse cycle softener treatment has a significant impact on the absorbency, air permeability and wicking ability of the cotton and polyester fabrics. The thermal conductivity and flammability characteristics of the fabrics mostly altered based on the type of fabric softener used. For all the type of fabric, the burning time reduced after the softener treatment. Social implications The consumer expects the softness and fragrance smell developed by the rinse cycle softener and they intend to use it more frequently after every laundry process to achieve that feel. This repeated the application of softener causes a negative impact on the fabric performances. This research result provides an evidence for the changes in physiological comfort aspects of textiles. Originality/value This analysis enlightens the negative impact of the repeated use of commercial fabric softener and their types on the common fabrics used in apparel endues.

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is a promising high-performance material that has been employed with success in new constructions, as well as a strengthening layer of existing structural components. In this work, we document the optimisation procedure of textile-based composites for new construction and for the seismic retrofitting of under-reinforced concrete elements and masonry buildings. The study, aimed at maximising the material performances avoiding waste of economic resources, was addressed by means of a series of uniaxial tensile tests conducted on a wide set of alkali-resistant (AR) glass fabrics and TRCs. The samples differed in terms of cement-based matrices, embedded textiles and addition of dispersed microfibers. The results highlight the effects of fabric characteristics and introduction of short fibres on the mechanical behaviour, proposing novel comparison parameters based upon the load bearing capacity and the deformation response of the composites. The application of simplified analytical models borrowed from the literature finally revealed the limitations of the available predictive approaches, suggesting future lines of investigation.

The textile sector comprises several segments and detain a great economic and social value. Textile industries, however, demands large amounts of water and generate great loads of effluent in their production process. The effluent’s physical and chemical parameters, as much as its microbiological and ecotoxicological aspects, has been extremely useful to find out the key aspects for the development of novel methods of treatment and implementation of new techniques of industrial processing. In this study, a real effluent sample was collected from a textile factory situated in the southeast region of Brazil and analyzed for turbidity, solids content, oils and greases, alkalinity, pH value, electrical conductivity, BOD, COD, organic and inorganic components, total viable bacteria, coliforms and EC50 ecotoxicological degree using the microcrustacean Daphnia magna and the lettuce Lactuca sativa. The measured parameters were seen to have a great variation in comparison to a vast literature report and the characterization was shown to be extremely important in the search of new methods to reduce the volume and the toxicity of this kind of effluent.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to successfully implement microwave irradiation for the rapid synthesis of novel fluorescent dyes. The prepared dyes are then applied for printing of polyester and polyamide by silk screen printing process. Design/methodology/approach A series of new N′-(methylene)-2-imino-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide derivatives 3a–r were synthesised in excellent yield and high atom economy by the Knoevenagel condensation of salicylaldehyde derivatives 1 and cyano-N′-methyleneaceto-hydrazide derivatives 2 in the presence of piperidine catalyst. The optical properties of the synthesised compounds were recorded; all of the compounds were found to be fluorescent in 1, 4-dioxane solution; they all emitted blue light (440-460 nm). This work shows that the optical properties strongly depend on the nature of the substituent, and indicate which type of substituent is favourable for a given application. It confirms that iminocoumarin derivatives could lead to a new generation of fluorescent probes, prone to easy modification of their chemical structure. These synthesised dyes are used to print polyester and polyamide fabrics using synthetic thickener in the printing paste for silk screen technique. Findings The structures of synthesised dyes were established and confirmed for the reaction products on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectral data (MS, IR and 1H-NMR). The suitability of the prepared dyestuffs for traditional printing on polyester and polyamide fabrics has been investigated. The prints obtained using the synthesised dyes were found to possess high colour strength and excellent overall fastness properties but relatively low light fastness. Research limitations/implications The synthesised fluorescent dyes were prepared by a simple reaction process in microwave. The optical properties for obtained dyes show include the fact that it will have various important applications. In addition, they were used for printing synthetic fabrics and were found to have good results. Practical implications The new fluorescent dyes’ system has excellent printing properties. Also they are superior in terms of yield, purity, colour strength and fastness properties which may lend them valuable commercial production. Originality/value The result of this work aimed to define the scope and limitation of the procedures for the synthesis of novel iminocoumarin dyes via a simple and economic way.

In this work, we tried to predict the handle of disposable diapers by their physical properties using a back-propagation network and a stepwise regression. Handle properties of diapers were measured by universal test equipment and hand values of the fabrics were determined by a group of panelists consisting of some textile experts. The optimum construction of neural network was investigated through the change of layer and neuron number. The results showed that the back-propagation network could predict the hand values of disposable diapers with a meaningful difference. These disposable diapers were used to show that the results of neural network were in good agreement with subjective test results.

Inverse Malthusianism implies an exponential increase in environmental impact that recycling may contribute to reduce. Our main goal is to extend the analysis of materials selection under the principle of equimarginality proposed by Jevons. As a first result, we show the particular circumstances under which policies excluding recycled supplies are never optimal. We also aim to overcome the difficulties of reducing environmental aspects to monetary units. To this end, we propose a multicriteria approach to solve the conventional-recycled materials dilemma considering not only economic but also environmental criteria. Then, we allow producers to enrich their decision-making process with relevant information about the environmental impact of materials selection. Although we use examples of the textile industry to illustrate our results, most of the insights in this paper can be extended to other industries.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the adhesion of polymer materials printed directly onto fabrics using entry-level fused deposition modelling (FDM) machines. A series of functional and decorative parts were designed to explore the limitations and to identify potential applications. Design/methodology/approach – A series of shapes and structures were designed as 3D computer-aided design (CAD) solids to determine whether complex parts could be printed directly onto the surface of fabrics. The structures were fabricated using an entry-level FDM printer with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polylactic acid (PLA) and nylon on eight different types of synthetic and man-made woven and knit fabrics. The results were recorded according to four parameters – the warp, bond, print quality and flex – before comparing the data sets. Findings – Among the three polymers, PLA showed the best results when printed on the eight different types of fabrics, having extremely good adhesion with little warp, yet displaying a high quality of print with good flexural strength. For the fabrics, woven cotton, woven polywool and knit soy had excellent adhesion when the three polymers were deposited. Research limitations/implications – Future work should cover a wider range of polymers and textiles and incorporate more functional features for testing. Other aspects include modifying the fibre surface through mechanical or chemical means to achieve a more efficient adhesion with the fibre and examining the deposition process in terms of temperature, pressure and build density. Future work should also investigate the feasibility for large-scale production. Practical implications – This paper supports work on wearable electronics by integrating comfortable textiles with hard wearing parts without compromising on quality and fit and combining additive manufacturing processes with textiles to maintain the drape characteristics of the fabric. Polymer–textile deposition will contribute to new applications and functional products such as orthopaedic braces for medical use or for decorative features such as buttons and trimmings for garments. Originality/value – This paper has contributed to new knowledge by providing a better understanding of polymer materials being printed directly onto fabrics using entry-level FDM machines.

AbstractLabour market transformation and inequality were fundamental aspects in the transition to the industrialisation. This article reconstructs the Barcelona’s area economic structure across the 18thand 19thcenturies through the Marriage Licences of the Barcelona’s Cathedral. These documents registered a proportional tax paid by the spouses’ according to their occupational and social status. Since 1780, an important decrease in the primary sector and an increase in the secondary and tertiary sectors are observed. Inequality between economic sectors rose and also within the secondary sector (textile) due to the proletarianization of the workers. Conversely, there was not an increase in inequality in the primary sector while it decreased in the tertiary sector.

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is an emerging construction material with interesting potential concerning sustainability, providing corrosion-free and lightweight solutions. Ordinarily, fiber bundles, impregnated with resin, are used. In this research the performance of reinforcement with unresin fibers is investigated. Control of cracking is considered the key performance factor and is assessed through tensile testing. However, economic and environmental aspects are addressed as well. Then, four different mixes/matrices were considered, without the addition of special/expensive admixtures. TRC ties were subject to direct tension tests, with load and deformation monitoring to assess the influence of mechanical reinforcement ratio on the cracking, failure and toughness of these composites, as well as of the matrix properties on the maximum load. It was observed that at a macro-level TRC behaves like conventional reinforced concrete, concerning crack control. Based on the maximum loads attained at the different composites, it was found that this particular TRC is economically viable. It is suggested that matrix workability may influence the maximum load.
