Full textAbstract:
Millions of tons of textile waste are landfilled or incinerated in the world every year due to insufficient recycle value streams and the complex composition of textile end products. The goal of this review is to highlight pathways for simplifying and separating textile wastes into valuable raw material streams that will promote their recovery and conversion to useful products. The discussion focuses on advances in sorting, separation, decolorization and conversion of polyester and cotton, the two most common textile fibers. Sorting processes are gaining automation using spectroscopic methods that detect chemical composition differences between materials to divide them into categories. Separation, through dissolving or degrading, makes it possible to deconstruct blended textiles and purify polymers, monomers and co-products. Waste cotton can produce high quality regenerated cellulose fibers, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) or biofuels. Waste polyester can produce colored yarns or can be chemically converted to its starting monomers for the recreation of virgin polymer as a complete closed loop. The current strategies for decolorization are presented. Life cycle assessment (LCA) studies found that recycling polyester/cotton blended fabrics for subsequent uses is more sustainable than incineration, and research on producing biomass-based poly-ester also offers feasible avenues for improving textile sustainability and promoting circular processing.

Full textAbstract:
Smart textiles are a class of fabrics that enable digital components like battery and light and electronics to be embedded in them. Smart clothing is of two types, one is aesthetic types and the other is functional types. Aesthetic types are related to light-up and colour changing in nature. Functional classes are related to be used in athletics, extreme sports and military purposes. The health and beauty industry is0 also taking the benefit of the smart clothing while in the use of drug releasing medical textiles, to9 fabric with moisturizer, perfume and anti-ageing properties. Electronics are changing the clothing industry while adding new layers to the very idea of attire. Smart fabrics can sense different environmental conditions. The textiles that have electronics, the clothing acts more like an electronic device rather than just a piece of clothing. The basic materials needed to construct smart textiles are conductive threads and fabrics have been around for 1000 years.

Abstract This paper studied the recycling and the reuse of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) with Source Separation. These practices are commonly utilized in the European Union (EU) and internationally, giving successful recycling and treatment examples mainly for 7 selected - segregated household waste streams: a) paper and cardboard b) plastics, c) metals, d) glass, e) clothing and textiles, f) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and g) Edible Oil Wastes (EOW). Greece implements lower recycling levels, 21%, of the annually produced MSW comparing to the EU. In 2021 the Regional Government of Attica launched a pilot program of rewarding recycling with Source Separation called “THE GREEN CITY”. This program consists of 60 Mobile Green Points (MGPs) that serve a unified citizen awareness and waste collection (7 MSW streams) network throughout Attica. This network includes numerous temporary parking and operation spots for the MGPs. A 56% of them is located next to recreation and green areas, registering at least 70,000 citizens in the program and collecting approximately 400 tons of clean recyclable MSW (April 2022). Therefore, “THE GREEN CITY” program serves the setting target of Directive 2018/851 for at least 55% by weight recycling and reuse of the Greek MSW by 2025.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTHawaiian barkcloth (‘kapa’) is a traditional fabric made from beaten plant fibers. Because of its function in both utilitarian and chiefly ornaments, kapa is intimately tied to the history and traditions of Hawai’i. In the 19th century kapa was gradually replaced with imported textiles and the practice was lost. The traditional methods used to manufacture kapa are now only known from historic descriptions by early missionaries and explorers. Since the 1970s, cultural practitioners began an effort to revive this artform and are experimenting with materials and techniques to reproduce kapa with the quality of historic artifacts.Research has been undertaken at the Bishop Museum using a multi-analytical approach to determine the colorants. The Bishop Museum holds the world’s best collection of kapa, including some of the earliest pieces collected from Cook’s voyage in the 18th century. The research has focused on a comprehensive survey of over 150 pieces of kapa with x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). In some cases, samples were removed and analyzed with UV-Vis-NIR fiber optics reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and chromatographic techniques, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Scientific results document the use of traditional pigments and dyes as well as the incorporation of imported materials in the 19th century. Results are interpreted by period, design and use, as well as within the context of historic descriptions. An important aspect of this work is close collaboration with cultural practitioners experienced fabrication methods that have been successful in the recreation of kapa. With continued research, the goal is to ultimately gain a greater knowledge of historic materials and techniques for the continuation of this important tradition.

Full textAbstract:
The Trikke codex EBE 1471 preserves a variety of documents, many of which are of interest to historians of material culture. In particular, church inventories, wills, and dowries are especially rich in mentions of different textiles: from the most luxurious cloths of gold to the more modest block-printed cottons. By drawing upon this valuable source, I will offer an as representative as possible compendium of the textiles consumed in the wider Trikke region from the late seventeenth century and on. The great variety of weavings and provenances mentioned in the codex certainly provides ample ground for an analysis of the textile trends prevailing in West Thessaly. Finally, by pairing the textual information with actual remnants this study aims at visualizing the specific period’s eclectic aesthetic and cultural interconnectedness, thereby illuminating its place in the early modern “geography of cloth”, and the dynamics woven within it.

Full textAbstract:
Advancements in wearable technology and smart textiles have also opened new possibilities in the sports and medical fields. One of the examples of a relevant application case can be found in cycling. This paper expands on previous research on stretchable electronics on knit fabrics. It describes the development of stretchable circuits for the lower back position and motion tracking to prevent back pain in recreational (road) cyclists by combining electrical and textile engineering with insights generated in rehabilitation sciences and sports physiotherapy. The research process included developing and testing of the functional circuit integrated into a cycling jersey. Thermoplastic polyurethane films were used for the textile integration process to achieve maximum comfort and after-life disassembly possibility. Reliability tests, e.g. washing (ISO 6330-2012) and tensile tests, were conducted. It is concluded that while mechanical stress during washing cycles remains a serious concern for reliability and durability, the use of water-repellent thermoplastic polyurethane sealing seriously reduces the damage caused by water and detergents.

Full textAbstract:
In the last years the media have highlighted the damage of the ozone layer and the resulting increase of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) reaching the earth?s surface. Prolonged and repeated, both occupational and recreational, sun exposure of the population causes some detrimental effects. Clothing is considered to be one of the most important tools for UV protection. It is generally accepted that synthetic fibres provide a high UV protection capability of textiles, while cellulose fibres (cotton, linen, hemp, viscose) have a low UV absorption capacity. However, natural pigments, pectin and waxes in natural cellulose fibers, and lignin in hemp fibers, act as UV absorbers having a favorable effect on UPF of grey-state fabrics. Bearing in mind the trend of reintroduction of hemp fibers as a source of eco-friendly textiles, there is a serious lack of study about the potential of hemp materials in terms of UV protection. Folded yarn is a complex yarn composed of two or more component yarns arranged parallel and twisted together to make a ?new quality? yarn. Folding of yarns is an operation undertaken in order to modify single-yarn properties to an appreciable degree. There are very few investigations concerning the relationship between the yarn properties and UV protection effectiveness of the fabric made there from. In addition, there is no any result in the scientific literature about the influence of yarn folding on UV protection properties of textile materials. Having this in mind, for our research the idea was to evaluate the effect of yarn folding in this regard. The plain knitted fabrics composed of single or two-folded hemp yarn were compared in terms of UV protection properties. The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF), as the quantitative measurement of the material effectiveness to protect the human skin against UVR, was determined for the textile materials by in vitro test method according to the European standard EN 13758. The knitted fabrics construction and physical properties were also determined. Bearing in mind that plain knitted fabrics are particularly susceptible to relaxation, they were subjected to relaxation and shrinkage by wetting process, and testing procedure was repeated on the water-treated samples. The results obtained indicated that the folding operation influences UV protection properties of knitted fabrics through an influence on a loop configuration, i.e. the fabric openness. Relaxation and shrinkage of the knitted fabrics due to wet relaxation caused the reduction of macro-porosity increasing the UPF of the knitted fabrics. Although the knitted fabric produced from single hemp yarn was characterized by higher UPF, the UVR transmittance of the folded hemp yarn knitted fabric after wet relaxation placed it in the ?excellent UV protection category? (according to European Standard EN 13758-2). This fact together with the better thermal comfort manifested itself in higher air permeability, confirmed the potential of folding operation in terms of UV protection properties of textile materials.

Full textAbstract:
Resumo: A partir do final do século XIX, surgiram diferentes associações de lazer criadas por operários têxteis do Jardim Botânico - bairro situado na Zona Sul do Rio de Janeiro -, que contaram com o apoio dos dirigentes das fábricas de tecidos ali instaladas durante o período. Através da análise de jornais operários, da imprensa comercial e de documentos de polícia, que reunia as licenças concedidas aos clubes congêneres da cidade, este artigo investiga como tais trabalhadores se apropriaram dessas supostas concessões - em um conflituoso diálogo com as visões de mundo patronais. À luz da compreensão do conceito de paternalismo operado pelo historiador inglês E. P. Thompson, a intenção é demonstrar que essas associações recreativas financiadas pelas fábricas se constituíram tanto em espaços de diversão entre esses operários quanto em espaços de negociação e disputa por seus interesses compartilhados.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, there has been a renewed interest in Cannabis sativa and its uses. The recreational use of inflorescences as a source of THC has led to the legal restriction of C. sativa cultivation to limit the detrimental effects of psychotropic substance abuse on health. However, this has also limited the cultivation of textile/industrial varieties with a low content of THC used for textile and nutritional purposes. While previously the bans had significantly penalized the cultivation of C. sativa, today many countries discriminate between recreational use (marijuana) and industrial and food use (hemp). The stalks of industrial hemp (low in psychotropic substances) have been used extensively for textile purposes while the seeds are nutritionally versatile. From hemp seeds, it is possible to obtain flours applicable in the bakery sector, oils rich in essential fatty acids, proteins with a high biological value and derivatives for fortification, supplementation and nutraceutical purposes. Hemp seed properties seem relevant for vegetarian diets, due to their high nutritional value and underestimated employment in the food sector. Hemp seed and their derivatives are a valuable source of protein, essential fatty acids and minerals that could provide additional benefit to vegetarian nutrition. This document aims to explore the information available in the literature about hemp seeds from a nutritional point of view, highlighting possible beneficial effects for humans with particular attention to vegetarian nutrition as a supplemental option for a well-planned diet.

Full textAbstract:
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.

An artist who has this symptom is able to utilize the features of this “non-stop” symptom such as trembling to create the uniqueness in the artwork to develop a personal method. It has been discovered that many米patterns visual elements reappear in my paintings. After analyzing and sorting these repeated visual elements, they have become my symbol and signature-米patterns.
The following thesis contains five chapters, the first chapter discuses about the ADHD symptoms of mine and how these symptoms appear in my paintings creating unique visual effects that lead to the motivations and goals of my art work. The second chapter further discusses the development of the archetype in my painting and how I confront myself being a person with ADHD. The third chapter explains the idea of my artworks and the unique touch of ADHD in my artworks; analyzing the symbols and images that appear in my artworks and applying them to the idea of textiles to add their hand-made practical values. Illustrates the idea of “screen” and presents a series of artworks which are suitable for the decoration of each corner of home. The last chapter reviews and reflects the process of creation to be the reference for the further artistic creation.

Full textAbstract:
Processes of making in early modern Europe were both tacit and embodied. Whether making pottery, food, or textiles, the processes of manual production rested on an intersensory connection between mind, body, and object. This volume focuses on the body of the maker to ask how processes of making, experimenting, experiencing, and reconstructing illuminate early modern assumptions and understandings around manual labour and material life. Answers can be gleaned through both recapturing past skills and knowledge of making and by reconstructing past bodies and bodily experiences using recreative and experimental approaches. In drawing attention to the body, this collection underlines the importance of embodied knowledge and sensory experiences associated with the making practices of historically marginalised groups, such as craftspeople, women, domestic servants, and those who were colonised, to confront biases in the written archive. The history of making is found not only in technological and economic innovations which drove ‘progress’ but also in the hands, minds, and creations of makers themselves.

Established in 1789 as the 12th state, North Carolina lies in the eastern seaboard of the United States of America between the Appalachian mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean. It is ranked 28th with respect to its size (139,389 square kilometers) and is the 10th most populated state with 9.1 million residents as of 2007 (US Census Bureau, 2008). The state was known for its farming/tobacco, textile and furniture industries, but substantial transformation has taken place over the past few decades and now the service industry, led by tourism, is the major part of the state’s economy (Gade, 2008). North Carolina has a unique and rich natural heritage which includes geological, landscape and biological resources that span three physiographic regions: the Appalachian Mountains, the Piedmont Plateau and the Coastal Plain (Horton et al., 1991; Stewart and Roberson, 2007). This natural heritage forms an integral part of the network of attractions enticing local, out-of-state and international tourists, who spent over $17 billion in the state and generated almost 200,000 jobs in 2007 (TIA, 2008). Indeed, North Carolina’s tourism promotional material (e.g., travel guides, brochures, websites) routinely highlight physical landscapes such as the Great Smoky Mountains, peaks like Pilot Mountain and geomorphic features such as waterfalls. Many of these geological features and attractions can be found in North Carolina’s state park (NCSP) system, which received over 12.8 million visitors in 2007– 2008 (Leung et al., 2009), with an estimated annual economic impact of $289 million to local economies (NCDPR, 2009). Landform-dependent recreation opportunities draw tourists to the state as well, with skiers enjoying the mountains and kitesurfers flocking to sandy beaches at the Outer Banks. In addition, mineral hunting has become a popular tourist activity with several independent contractors offering mine tours, cave tours and gemstone mining.

The network of river courses that cross the territory of Romania has a total length of 118,000 km, to which is added the aquatic part of the Romanian coast (the Black Sea and the harbors), with an area of 39,940 km2. From this territory the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (the shore of the Delta Danube and the Razim Sinoe complex) cover an area of over 6000 ha. Under these conditions, tourism that includes recreational activities (if the environment allows it) can be extended within the arranged natural aquatic reserves, mainly including the swimming. The natural areas for swimming are protected areas to avoid possible risks of pollution and are specially arranged, respectively: for depths up to 1.50 m, the slope is uniform and the inclination respects the ratio of 1:10 - 1:15, while, for greater depths, the inclination of the slope does not exceed the ratio of 1:3. Considering the strict restrictions imposed on the recreation area, the swimming areas must be strictly and visibly delimited from the areas where other recreational activities are carried out (mooring of charter ships, practicing water sports, etc.) with possible health risks. Additionally, special attention is paid to the delimitation of the bathing area with a depth of less than 0.70 m, for children and people who do not swim for various reasons. In these particular situations, to avoid possible accidents, the delimitation and marking is performed with the help of floating systems made of composite material based on woven structure matrix. For the purpose of ensure the delimitation and signalling of the maritime and fluvial areas, for a depth of 3 m, the researches were focused on the digital development of a flexible composite structure. The geometric, dimensional and structural elements of the composite architecture were predicted based on FEM modeling and were calculated for a solid body in the form of a right circular cylinder. The design and developed flexible structure was experimented at the shore and the main conclusions leaded to the following: i) the composite material behaved appropriately, and, during the monitoring period of 72 hours, no potentially interventions caused by damages were needed; ii) no damage of the textile material or change in geometrical of the solid shape was recorded. The experiments carried out in open sea conditions required the consideration of the specific features of a continuously moving surface (due to sea waves and currents), with large temperature variations and difficult weather conditions. During the experimental trials, the floating systems were placed at Lat. 43.985 Lon. 28.607 Altitude 50m and the meteorological observation were made at every 24 hours within a period of 10 days, during May when dangerous phenomena, such as descending gusts (white squalls, formed as a result of the rise of water in the atmosphere with the cumulonimbus clouds development) and nebulousness were recorded. Regular inspections were performed and the appropriate behavior of the composite material used as core part of the floating marking/signalling systems was registered.

Traditional textile technologies are part of cyber-culture in all its complexity but the solutions only record the technological past and do not influence the personal development of underprivileged groups. The digital information development should mark changes not only in communication but also in education and human communities' dynamic. E-learning programs in cyber-space are undoubtedly agents of cultural change but they should be created for an immediate impact on communities and for stressing issues like alternatives for unemployed people and lifelong learning for a greater mobility. This great power of the Web to reunite people and shape their future is conditioned by the involvement and decision making of individuals. For an interactive e-learning system we have to use real time simulation social games that allow the creation of ideal spaces for the development of a learning-by-playing virtual environment, focused on skills and technologies. Also, augmented reality applications are important in developing intuitive interaction between the user and the virtual content. Using video games tactile devices or TUNE technology could enhance the real time involvement in the exploration of the "memories" of physical artifacts and technologies. "The Maps of Time" is a project developed by a team of artists and researchers from the National University of Art, Bucharest. We are building a structure for the immersive experimentation of ancient technologies in the virtual world with the purpose of preserving and revitalizing ancient traditional technologies bring them into contemporary context and present them as viable and tested solutions in lifelong education. The e-learning aspect of the project focuses on local community empowerment using visual support, expert online lessons and advice for learning traditional technologies (textile, ceramic or metal technologies). Although the e-learning sessions involve a small community in Oltenia region (south of Romania), especially school children, we are aiming for a larger audience, from experts to individuals that want to develop artistic skills. Interactive media will be used to grow awareness on sustainable traditional technologies. Digitalizing ancient technologies operational phases not only helps children discover talents but could also offer alternatives for unemployed people and be a method of active recreation. Learning technologies, creating objects to populate habitats, involving other people develops an interactive virtual community in which everyone can learn skills via information-knowledge gaining, specialist training, artist and designer involvement.
