Phase change materials (PCMs) are widely being used in thermal energy storage systems for solar engineering, building materials, heat pumps, spacecraft, and textile field especially smart technical textiles. There large numbers of organic inorganic PCMs that possess a wide range melting solidifying temperature which attracts researcher’s attention their applications different fields. This review paper summarizes the investigation analysis available PCMs, encapsulating techniques,...
The contact angles, wicking properties, scourability, and dyeability of wool cotton fabrics are affected by low-temperature plasma treatments. After treatment, fabric specimens show increased hydrophilicity improved scouring dyeing processing nearly 50%.
Following previous work [ Textile Research Journal, 74,751-756 (2004)], the mechanical and surface properties handle of wool cotton fabrics were measured using KES-FB system after different stages treatment. This investigation shows that changed remarkably oxygen plasma There no significantly observed differences between treated untreated wet scouring dyeing.
The currently used high-performance fiber materials for soft body armor have very low surface friction and this has become an issue in the effectiveness of ballistic energy absorption. In study, non-polymerizing reactive plasma gas N 2 chemical vapor (CH 3 ) Cl Si were employed to modify Kevlar fabric application impact material. Scanning electron microscopy observations yield information about effect fabrics after treatment. morphology treated was studied. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis...
This paper explores the possibility of introducing 3D printed parts into commercial garment production. The research investigates cost and time needed to create components for construction at sample stage provides an example techniques. is completed in order investigate whether such manufacturing method would benefit manufacturer define areas need be improved printing that possibly become essential part mass manufacture fashion industry. By completing analyzing process it has been proved...
Smart and interactive textiles have been attracted great attention in recent years. This research explored three different techniques processes developing textile-based conductive coils that are able to embed a garment layer. Coils made through embroidery screen printing good dimensional stability, although the resistance of printed coil is too high due low conductivity print ink. Laser cut provided best electrical conductivity; however, disadvantage this method it very difficult keep...
The evidence coupled with awareness towards carcinogenic effects of synthetic textiles dyes to the wearer, exhausting fossil fuels, ecological balance distortion, and increased pollutants from textile industry harming environment, is on rise. In this context, paper provides a significant overview ancient biomaterial engineering herbal colorants refute modern crisis. medicinal properties natural have potential create functional textiles, cogently their ability combat UV radiation...
This study investigates dye removal, wool dissolution, and keratin extraction from waste samples initially dyed with synthetic Bemacid E dyes. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was selected for due to its mild impact on structure; however, operational challenges led the adoption of Decrolin (C2H6O6S2Zn), a reducing agent commonly used in textile bleaching. Decrolin’s removal confirmed by UV-Vis analysis but showed potential re-oxidation effects over time, indicating incomplete extraction. Fourier...
Previous studies show that fabric construction is one of the key factors affecting performance ballistic fabrics. In order to investigate effect yarn gripping in fabrics, plain woven narrow fabrics with different widths have been designed and studied. terms it was found narrower demonstrates better than wider ones under low impact energy due weft selvages. case higher energy, shows having sufficient material dissipate energy. Different panels were made for testing, each panel only formed...
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the ballistic performance angle-interlock woven fabrics. Different fabric structures firstly have been compared benchmark fabrics using energy loss test. It has shown that with other structures, demonstrates low resistance as absorbing less impact energy. This because owns interlacements than its counterparts. interlacement plays an important role help transfer adjacent yarns: more interlacements, larger area stress wave could propagate, and...
In the mid-twentieth century, natural fibre shortages spurred research into regenerated protein fibres, including wool keratin. Although these materials were soon displaced by outperforming synthetic today's global shifts towards an eco-friendlier, more environmentally aware, sustainable fashion industry have increased interest such materials. This paper discusses theory behind chemically recycling (keratin) from textile waste via a mixed solvent system that employs reduction, one of several...
In this research paper, sustainable technologies that are plasma surface treatment and digital printing of wool cotton fabrics with herbal inks implemented for ecological outcomes.
