Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is an aliphatic polyester considered a “green” material due to its natural-based origin and biodegradable properties. This is why PLA fibres may be compared with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibres in an effo...

Cardiovascular diseases pose a significant global health burden, driving the need for artificial vascular grafts to address limitations of autologous and allogeneic vessels. This review examines the integration of fiber materials and textile technolo...

This study investigates Fenton-based processes for textile dye degradation, focusing on Direct Red 28 (DR28), Reactive Blue 19 (RB19), and Reactive Black 5 (RBk5). Results reveal varying effectiveness of catalyst–radical combinations, with copp...

Water contamination from textile dyes is a major environmental hazard. This is due to the textile industry serving among the biggest manufacturers, thus the extensive usage of these dyes. Several methods for the treatment of these pollutants have bee...

The advancement of wearable technologies has resulted in significant interest in GNSS-integrated textile antenna development. Although existing literature surveys predominantly concentrate on flexible non-textile antenna systems operating within UHF...

This study presents a novel drop-off strategy for automated fabric handling in intelligent apparel manufacturing, addressing the critical challenge of drift-free placement of lightweight, flexible textiles. A pneumatically driven retractable plate is...

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) represents significant risks to both textile durability and human health. Natural dyes are gaining attention as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic UV-blocking agents, offering aesthetic and functional benefits. This st...

This study investigates the production and characterization of basalt continuous fibers (BCFs) with varying oxide contents (including Na2O, SiO2, CaO, TiO2, and Al2O3), derived from modified basalt bulk glasses. The fibers were created through a two-...

This study presents an advanced framework for fabric texture classification by leveraging macro- and micro-texture extraction techniques integrated with deep learning architectures. Co-occurrence histograms, local binary patterns (LBPs), and albedo-d...

There is limited knowledge about the benefits of functional textile in arthritis management. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of wearing functional socks in patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. Patients were randomized into an expe...
