Abstract:

The objectives of the study were to develop functional natural fiber clothing with microcapsules containing active herbal extracts with properties enhancing the treatment of dermatoses and to confirm the efficiency of the clothing's activity by testing its effect on the biophysical parameters of human skin. As a result of the work, clothing enriched with green tea and Viola tricolor extracts enclosed in ethyl cellulose microcapsules was produced. The microcapsules were applied on the inner surface of linen knitted fabric, which ensured direct contact of the active substances with the patients' affected skin. The efficiency of the clothing was tested according to our own methodology, which included wearing tests, microbiological tests of the skin and tests of skin moisture, transepidermal water loss and itching intensity. Also, the effect of the active substances present on the fabrics on the in vitro culture of human keratinocytes was evaluated. The test results confirmed that linen clothing enriched with medicinal plant extracts enclosed in microcapsules had an effect on the reduction of itching intensity, an increase in skin moisture, reduction of transepidermal water loss and a reduction of pathogenic bacterial colonies residing on the patients' skin. They confirmed that the new method of administering herbal substances to the skin of dermatological patients via the wearing of functional clothing is effective and leads to symptom relief. The studies allowed for the filing of a patent submission, number P 411869, titled “The clothing acting as a dressing supplement in the therapy of dermatological diseases.”

Abstract:

Purpose – Natural disasters, occurring with increasing frequency are mobilizing humanitarian agencies to provide relief response. Current protocols that rely heavily on donated clothing as clothing aid are neither effective nor efficient. The purpose of this paper is to investigate survivors’ clothing needs during the relief phase of a natural disaster in order that current protocol might be improved. The focus is on clothing use from the perspectives of survivors who will wear it, relief workers and aid agencies that will disperse it. Design/methodology/approach – This qualitative study included needs analysis focus groups with survivors, interviews with relief aid workers and senior humanitarian agency administrators. All respondents were residents of and/or impacted by the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. Questions focused on relief aid protocol, clothing needs and mandatory requirements for a design solution. Findings – Data gathered revealed a myriad of design priorities and participants emphasized that garments be culturally and climatically appropriate and universal in design. Based on these criteria, a prototype (named Survival Plus) was created using the Functional, Expressive and Aesthetic design framework as proposed by Lamb and Kallal (1992). Research limitations/implications – Further research may be undertaken to field test proposed Survival Plus prototype to evaluate the design and subsequent findings be incorporated in its design. Originality/value – Academic knowledge about this aspect of disaster management and response is scarce. This participatory study of clothing needs of survivors is of particular benefit to emergency preparedness initiatives and humanitarian aid providers in their delivery of clothing aid.

Abstract:

Wearable E-textile systems should be comfortable so that highest efficiency of their functionality can be achieved. The development of electronic textiles (functional textiles) as a wearable technology for various applications has intensified the use of flexible wearable functional textiles instead of wearable electronics. However, the wearable functional textiles still bring comfort complications during wear. The purpose of this review paper is to sightsee and recap recent developments in the field of functional textile comfort evaluation systems. For textile-based materials which have close contact to the skin, clothing comfort is a fundamental necessity. In this paper, the effects of functional finishing on the comfort of the textile material were reviewed. A brief review of clothing comfort evaluations for textile fabrics based on subjective and objective techniques was conducted. The reasons behind the necessity for sensory evaluation for smart and functional clothing have been presented. The existing works of literature on comfort evaluation techniques applied to functional fabrics have been reviewed. Statistical and soft computing/artificial intelligence presentations from selected fabric comfort studies were also reviewed. Challenges of smart textiles and its future highlighted. Some experimental results were presented to support the review. From the aforementioned reviews, it is noted that the electronics clothing comfort evaluation of smart/functional fabrics needs more focus.

Abstract:

Synthetic textile such as polyester and poly-urethane has been used for underwear in terms of moisture release and function in underwear. However, the synthetic underwear has high risk for skin burns due to melting and shrinking by heat. Thermal protection and comfort in fire fighter protective clothing is always trading off, but fire fighters tend to use the synthetic underwear to feel comfort and function during firefighting operation without understanding of the risk for skin burns by the textile. Objective of this study is to investigate if the synthetic underwear plays a significant role in moisture and metabolic heat transfer within the fire fighter clothing by total heat loss measurement. Measurement of the total heat loss has been conducted by the ASTM F-1868 instrument (Kato-Tech, Co. Ltd., Japan). Three type of fire fighter clothing, one station wear, and five types of underwear have been used for the test. Test has been conducted for each clothing and combination of clothing. The results shows that range of total heat loss is 322.3 W/m2 to 385.3 W/m2, 857.9 W/m2, 782.3 W/m2 to 897.3 W/m2 for three fire fighter clothing, one station wear and five underwear, respectively. However, when the fabrics of fire fighter clothing, station wear and underwear were piled up, the range of total heat loss decreased to 242.1 W/m2 to 304.4 W/m2. The data indicates that the fire fighter's multi-layer fabric controls the heat and moisture transfer within fire fighter clothing and no positive contribution by any types of underwear.

Abstract:

In the analysis and design of functional clothing systems, it is helpful to quantify the effects of a system on a wearer's physical performance capabilities. Toward this end, a clothing modeling framework for quantifying the mechanical interactions between a given clothing system design and a specific wearer performing defined physical tasks is proposed. The modeling framework consists of three interacting modules: (1) a macroscale fabric mechanics/dynamics model; (2) a collision detection and contact correction module; and (3) a human motion module. In the proposed framework, the macroscopic fabric model is based on a rigorous large deformation continuum-degenerated shell theory representation. Material models that capture the stress-strain behavior of different clothing fabrics are used in the continuum shell framework. The collision and contact module enforces the impenetrability constraint between the fabric and human body and computes the associated contact forces between the two. The human body is represented in the current framework as an assemblage of overlapping ellipsoids that undergo rigid body motions consistent with human motions while performing actions such as walking, running, or jumping. The transient rigid body motions of each ellipsoidal body segment in time are determined using motion capture technology. The integrated modeling framework is then exercised to quantify the resistance that the clothing exerts on the wearer during the specific activities under consideration. Current results from the framework are presented and its intended applications are discussed along with some of the key challenges remaining in clothing system modeling.

Abstract:

Wearable electronics in textile products can be used in specialized protective clothing to monitor users’ health and hazards in their direct surroundings. Considering the very hazardous and variable working conditions during rescue operations, mountain rescuers could also use such smart clothing. This has been confirmed by the results of a survey on mountain rescuers’ needs for smart protective clothing for rescue operations in the mountains. According to the results of this survey, it is necessary to develop new, innovative clothing for mountain rescuers with a location sensor, cooling/heating system, physiological state sensor and energy harvester supporting powering of, e.g., a smartphone.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand people’s preferred design and functional features for mosquito-bite protective clothing.Design/methodology/approachTotal 348 participants were asked through an online survey about their perceptions and behaviors related to mosquito bite prevention, preferred design and functional features for clothing, preferred design and functional features for smart clothing, preferred types of transferred data, and their demographic backgrounds. A series oft-tests and analyses of variance were computed using IBM’s SPSS 24.0.FindingsThere were significant differences in functional and design preferences among participants (p<0.05~0.001). The results suggest developing mosquito protective clothing as long pants for married people and outerwear for younger groups (10-40s), long-sleeved tops for all, and using thick fabrics for younger people than those over the 50s. Designers can develop smart clothing that can repel mosquitos through scents and cover the body, or as smart watches or wristbands to protect against mosquito bites. The connected software can present data about the mosquito numbers around the user, distances between the user and mosquitos, and product status. Marketers can target parents who showed more willingness to use the mosquito-bite protective clothing than individuals without children.Originality/valueThe outcomes of the study will help designers when developing mosquito-bite protective clothing and ultimately decrease the rate of diseases transmitted by mosquitos.

Abstract:

A functional modelling of supportive clothing is proposed in this paper. Body forms and measures were analysed. The digitisation of the human body was performed by 3D scanning, and based on point clouds measurements were taken. and the forms of body parts for which the pattern of clothing was developed, were defined. Pattern parts of the male supportive underwear model proposed were translated into numeric form, and a program was developed in the C++ programming language through which the pattern parts are adjusted to individual measurements and to the material used for the compression of parts of the body. Since clothing can be used post-operatively as well, an analysis of the biodegradable Tencel® materials proposed to be used for these applications was conducted. Material samples were subjected to steam sterilisation at 134oC, after which tests of microbial barrier permeability were performed using the new method. Aerobic bacterial endospores were used. Based on the samples tested and their properties, the construction of supportive medical clothing which, by their design, enhance the functionality and possibility of preventing infections of a body part subjected to surgery was carried out.

Abstract:

Clothing has always been a kind of status symbol and expression of the individual personality. People wear clothing for functional as well as for social reasons. People of all ages and in all circumstances of life are aware of the importance of appearance in perception of self and in their relations with other people. However, for those whose surrounding environment is limited by age, condition of health, or physical and mental handicaps, dressing properly is a very difficult and impossible task. Therefore there is an urgent need to design clothing according to their special requirements. The aim of this study was to design and develop functional clothing for mentally retarded respondents. A questionnaire was developed for personal interview to assess clothing practices & problems of the disabled. The identified clothing requirements were incorporated in garment designs and finally constructed. After wear trial the designed and constructed garments were found to be highly acceptable.

Abstract:

The clothing is not worn only for protecting the human body, but it helps to obtain comfort during high level activities or in unfavorable environmental conditions. Heat generated by the working human body in hot climate or high physical activity, which must be dissipated to the environment. Similarly, in the cold environment, the body is going to be shielded from cold feeling. Thermophysiological clothing comfort related to warmth and moisture transport behaviour of clothing. Good clothing helps to maintain body temperature during various level of physical activities and surrounding environmental condition. Therefore, some improved functional properties are desirable in the clothing. For clothing comfort, thermophysiological comfort properties of fabrics which are related to heat and moisture transport properties play very vital role. These properties can be introduced in the clothing by using various fibrous material and modifying the structure of yarns, fabrics and garments.

Abstract:

Fitness of clothing with body is an important factor to design comfortable and functional clothing. For an evaluation of clothing fitness, it is necessary to measure both shapes of human body and clothing accurately. In my research, a measurement of clothing fitness has been examined using a 3-D method, and a quantity of space between body and clothing has been discussed. An evaluation method of the most suitable size fitness with body was investigated by the waveform spacing between body and clothes. A new technique of symmetries dot patterns was developed to grasp a characteristic of space waveform of the clothing. Its representation involves the information of the deviation of the space, and it is very useful for evaluation of the size fitness of clothing. Furthermore, the wavelet transform was applied to extract a characteristic of clothing waveform for evaluation of size fitness of clothing with body.

Abstract:

The object of the publication is to present the validation process stage (operational qualification) of developed assumptions for customised clothing manufactured in industrial conditions. 12 special clothes were made and adjusted to the individual dimensions of firefighters’ silhouettes obtained in the 3D scanning process as well as 12 special clothes adjusted to selected size subgroups after the 3D scanning process from the same identified group of 12 firefighters. Two batches of clothes having undergone the installation qualification were submitted for testing in real conditions (operational qualification). Then, on the basis of data collected from the ongoing functional tests, a batch of six sets of individualised special clothing for the Fire Service was produced in industrial conditions (changing the manufacturer and model of the clothing). A positive result of validation (operational qualification) of this batch of clothing in functional tests conducted in real conditions will allow its introduction to industry through training in production plants and procedures of individualisation of advanced protective clothing design for people working in environments with a high degree of risk to health and life. The individualisation of protective clothing design, through a better fit of the size of the clothing to the body of the user, will significantly affect the comfort of use, ergonomics of the clothing, and the safety of the user.

Abstract. Distance clothing technology is an actively developing area. For its implementation in the highly specialized area of manufacturing technical means of rehabilitation, and, in particular, in the manufacture of special functional and aesthetic clothing for disabled people, it is necessary to solve organizational and technical issues. An example of a technical issue is remote acquisition of dimensional features. The dimensional characteristics of the human body are an integral part of the technological process of manufacturing individual clothing. The use of 3D scanning makes it possible to implement remote technology for individual design and manufacture of clothing. The production of clothing for wheelchair users involves the adaptation of standard clothing design techniques to the specific properties of the posture. A case of a patient with a C5-C6 cervical vertebra fracture who has been using a wheelchair for more than 25 years is considered. The study used 3D human models obtained with a 3D scanner. The technique of scanning and an example of processing the obtained data are presented. The main features of dimensional features have been determined and an algorithm for their determination by anatomical landmarks has been developed. Recommendations are given for processing 3D scans and combining them into one 3D model. It is shown that the use of 3D scanning for the remote production of a set of functional and aesthetic clothing for a wheelchair user is a way to produce comfortable individual clothing.

Abstract:

Men’s corporate Ready-to-wear clothing has always been a conventional segment of attire as far as the choice of fabrics, silhouettes, notions and functionality is concerned. But in the latest fashion eras, advances in the technologies haven’t even left this highbound clothing sector untouched. Instead of keeping warm, good looking and comfortable; people nowadays, have a much higher demand on clothing and prefer the clothes to have special properties. Textiles with advanced technology could offer extremities than the conventional textile forms that work as functional performers for the under looked Men’s clothing sector. Thus, the present paper aims at achieving the objectives of reinventing the men’s clothing wardrobe with the impressions of sustainability and style together. In this work, Men’s semi formal waist coats were conceptualized using the forgotten Jute fabrics infused with Fragrance finishes with the use of essential oils as host-guest complexes of β-cyclodextrin citrate to impart value added finish durability. It came out to be a novel approach to re-surface Jute and Men’s formal attire that can be targeted as a big boon for the M2M clothing lines.

Abstract:

Technical clothing with light-responsive features for outdoor sports practiced in environments with low visibility is extremely important for athletes’ safety. Lack of signaling by users and visibility for drivers is one of accidents causes, namely run overs, which can leave serious consequences. The products available on the market lack efficiency and their design is not appealing which makes the development of these new materials a compelling need. Therefore, fluorescent and phosphorescent functional finishings with ability to provide illuminant signalization without compromising the design and/or color of clothing as well as comfort and ergonomics, were developed and applied in the textile structure by knife over roll coating technology. The greatest challenge is to integrate the high visibility materials without compromising the design of the garment and accomplish the European Standard of Protective clothing: Enhanced visibility equipment for medium risk situations and test methods and requirements—EN 17353 (that supersedes EN1150:1999 and allows more freedom in the design of the apparel) published in 2020. Phosphorescent materials were evaluated by luminance decay according to DIN 67510, before and after fastness to wash tests. Results obtained regarding high visibility functional finishings and the integration of the materials developed in the final sports collection will be presented.

Abstract:

AbstractDespite the importance of clothing pressure discomfort in the undergarment industry, a reliable unbiased measurement of clothing pressure discomfort has not been well-established. In the present study, we investigate changes in brain wave activity as a potential objective and consistent measuring tool for clothing pressure discomfort. We recorded α wave activity in 5 functional regions (30 channels) of the brain in 10 females with or without a girdle. We determined that α wave power spectrum significantly increases when the girdle is worn compared to when it is not worn, specifically in the parietal and occipital regions. These findings suggest that clothing pressure exerted by wearing a girdle mostly stimulates the parietal and occipital regions and that these regions should be investigated in future studies using α wave energy to measure clothing pressure discomfort.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was testing the first layer of clothing. It can be used separately, or together with other layers of textiles in the sandwich structure of clothing. As this layer is in direct contact with the skin, the evaluation does not focus only on its thermo physiological properties, but also on sensory perception of the fabric. The main purpose of this layer is to transport heat and moisture from the skin to surface, or to the other layers. One way of assessing the physiological comfort of the garment is testing garments under defined conditions and standards in a laboratory. For testing, T-shirts made from 100 percent natural fibres, chemical fibres, and also mixed fibres for the comparison were chosen. Experimental work was carried out in the following two steps of laboratory testing: measurement of selected utility properties in the Laboratory of Physiological Comfort, and the measurement degree of Total Hand Value in the Kawabata Evaluation System. For the prediction of clothing comfort and the garment performance quick assessment, a simple equation for the comparison of the selected set of T-shirts was also created.
