Waste textiles may contain heavy metals, which can originate from dyes, mordants, or other chemical treatments used during manufacturing. To explore the impact of heavy metals on the adsorption properties of activated carbon derived from discarded te...
High-performance nylon 6,6 webbings used in critical applications degrade under solar exposure, necessitating reliable methods to assess their residual strength non-destructively. This study investigates the feasibility of using instrumental color ch...
The problem of textile industry waste has become increasingly relevant. Recycling clothing industry waste to build acoustic panels is one of the most popular and relatively inexpensive ways to use clothing industry waste. We see a lack of information...
The rapid evolution of innovative materials and their 4D printing on fabrics allows textiles to change shape or properties when exposed to external stimuli. This work reviews the fundamentals of 4D printing, briefly revisiting additive manufacturing...
Predicting the thermo-physiological comfort of technical clothing requires an understanding of how microscopic textile structures influence macroscopic properties such as air, heat, and moisture permeability. This work represents the first step towar...
A methodology for predicting the thermal insulation of textiles based on their heat loss is described. The principle is based on measuring the electrical power input of a heating element and calculating the degree of insulation based on the real-time...
Compression garments are widely employed in medical and sports contexts for their ability to promote venous return, manage oedema, support musculoskeletal function, and enhance athletic recovery. Advances in textile-based compression systems have bee...
Tissue-mimicking phantoms that accurately replicate human tissue are crucial for validating and optimizing elastography systems and developing new treatment methods. The use of waste-based fibrous structures has the dual benefits of waste reduction a...
Spider silk, as a natural polymer fiber, possesses high tensile strength, good toughness, as well as unique thermal, optical, and biocompatibility properties. It has attracted much attention in various fields. The field of optical fiber sensors has a...
Cotton fiber length and maturity, two critical fiber qualities, are commonly determined in the U.S. by Uster high volume instrument (HVI) and advanced fiber information system (AFIS). The main objectives of this investigation were to compare how HVI...
