Qualitative Determination of the Components of Textile Products Using near Infrared Spectroscopy

Abstract

In the paper, A total of 40 pure or two-mixed textile weaves were prepared and classification of these samples was introduced using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), all textile samples are selected among four classes, which are Cotton-Terylene, Cotton-Polyurethane, Cotton and Terylene, according to theirs components. Near infrared diffuse reflectance spectra of the samples were collected, Mahalanobis distance was used to discriminate the samples coupled with principle components analysis (PCA), the results showed that near infrared spectroscopy could determine which class one textile weave belongs to easily comparing with traditional methods. In addition, the expectation of the further research on qualitative determination of textile products by NIR technology was discussed in the end of this paper.
