Textile materials are widely used in diverse applications, yet their anisotropic structure and large deformations present major challenges in mechanical characterization. Conventional uniaxial tensile tests can quantify bulk properties but offer limi...
Short-time thermal exchange (0–20 s) between human skin and textile surfaces determines initial warm–cool sensations, which influences comfort perception. Classical Fourier models predicting a √t cannot fully describe this early tra...
This study investigated the preparation of bacterial nanocellulose yarn, a high-strength and high-modulus cellulose-based textile material. Compared with the previously used wet spinning and electrospinning methods, the film-cutting, drawing and twis...
Fabric drape characterization is vital for textile performance and aesthetics, but the conventional Cusick method is labor-intensive and incompatible with digital workflows. This study assesses a smartphone-enabled digital image processing (DIP) meth...
Peru’s highly competitive garment sector, where microenterprises account for 88.4% of all enterprises, the main barrier to sustainability is low productivity, driven by high rework rates and operational errors. To address this problem, this res...
A major obstacle to textile recycling is the presence of dyes, which limits the reuse of fibers in high-value applications. Despite previous studies on, cotton decolorization, the systematic development of an optimal formulation that preserves fabric...
This study presents the development and application of a textile finishing treatment with antimicrobial properties based on silver nanostructures. The methodology involved the initial synthesis of silver-supported structures on aluminosilicates, whic...
Ramie fabrics suffer from inherent prickle sensation due to rigid fiber morphology, limiting their applications. This study aims to alleviate this issue through an eco-friendly enzymatic modification. Six enzymes (cellulase, laccase, hemicellulase, x...
The present study examines the influence of material and structural parameters on the fit and air permeability of textile face masks, surgical masks, and certified respirators. Nine samples were tested using the AccuFIT 9000 for quantitative fit fact...
Carbon fibers derived from carbonized and activated polyacrylonitrile (CFPAN) were sequentially brominated and subsequently functionalized with selected primary and secondary amines to engineer a directional electromagnetic (EM) response. Besides bro...
