Compared to fluorescent textiles, phosphorescent textile products exhibit an afterglow effect even after the illumination is stopped. Phosphorescent textiles are less present as commercial products on the market. With this background the aim of the actual presentation is to investigate the properties of commercially available phosphorescent textile materials. Investigations are performed by illumination under different light arrangement. Microscopy is performed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and advanced light microscopy using UV light. Light emission of the samples is recorded by fluorescence spectroscopy. The chemical composition is determined by using electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Depending on the type of sample, an afterglow effect can be determined up to 5 to 30 minutes after stopping the illumination with UV light. By SEM and EDS methods it is observed that the phosphorescent effects are realized by application of phosphorescent pigments, which can be best described as phosphorescent micromaterials. Depending on the product category, two different types of phosphorescent materials are used – doped strontium aluminates (SrAl2O4) and zinc sulfide (ZnS). Products based on doped strontium aluminates exhibit longer afterglow effects compared to products with ZnS pigments. However, the use of doped strontium aluminate is quite surprising for a commercial textile product, because of cost reasons. Finally, it can be stated that phosphorescent micromaterials are established materials for realization of functional textile products. These micromaterials can be found in every day products and are examples for innovative particle technology used in commercial consumer products.","PeriodicalId":106695,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products","volume":"113 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139128555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper offers first insights into the prototype of the crochet machine and presents the approach of such a design tool implemented in Python for creating, modeling and generating the machine instructions. With a graphical user interface (GUI), a flat crocheted fabric can be designed by arranging international crochet symbols for slip stitch (SL), single crochet (SC) and half double crochet (HDC). Built-in error checking mechanisms, following the rules of crochet and the machine’s constraints, will aid inexperienced crocheters in this process. Based on the resulting computer representation as an array containing short strings for the respective stitches, a topology-based 3D model at the meso scale is automatically created as a preview of the designed crocheted fabric. Also, machine instructions to automatically crochet the fabric with the crochet machine prototype are generated by mapping the computer representation of the stitches to macros of G-code and appending them in a valid order. The straightforward design tool shows the capabilities of the crochet machine and is extensible for further enhancements. Through modeling, the structure of the machine-crocheted fabrics is presented for the first time. In comparison to manually crocheted fabrics, the machine-crocheted ones exhibit a technical front and back, since stitches are formed by the machine only from one side.","PeriodicalId":106695,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129229930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using materials such as PCM could change the properties of leather for better performance, and could be applied to many places such as the shoe industry. The background of the study is that using PCMs could increase thermoregulating properties of materials. For finishing leather with PCMs, several methods were suggested such as spraying, tanning, laminating, etc. In this study, first impregnated leather with 5% and 10% of PCM by spray technic are prepared and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Finally, water vapor permeability and physical properties of the samples were analyzed for an understanding of leather comfort. The results reveal that after impregnating with 10% PCMs, significant effects on the thermal behavior of samples were observed, and this finishing had no effect on the comfort of leather.","PeriodicalId":106695,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129830465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research was conducted in two phases – qualitative and quantitative analysis. The quantitative study confirmed the results of the qualitative study and using an appropriate data reduction method, the study results were analyzed graphically. The results showed that users rated designs with high-contrast color and shape combinations as more attractive than those with low-contrast combinations. The study also showed that in addition to the shape of the garment, the choice of natural color sources can also influence consumer preferences. This study aims to overcome the shortcomings of previous studies that only examined color without investigating its relationship to garment shape. The knowledge gained from this study can help fashion designers create garments that are both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. However, further research is needed to determine the relationship between natural colors, contemporary shapes and consumer behavior in selecting them.","PeriodicalId":106695,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115814201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For economic, medical and psychological reasons, it is essential that a garment fits well and adapts to the wearer’s body shape in terms of 3D geometry, volume and structure (there are areas where the garment is very close to the body and areas where it is away from the body). Several factors need to be taken into account when producing various soft goods, including garments: factors related to the client (age, posture, proportions and conformation, type and frequency of movements, medical problems, physical disabilities, etc.) and the product (destination, condition of use, characteristics of materials and accessories, etc.). This paper presents the influence of the biomechanics of the human body on the 3D shape of a garment. The geometry and the size of the garment patterns must be determined taking into account the details of the model (silhouette, destination, structure, types of materials, etc.) and, above all, the movement of the human body expressed in terms of the absolute values of the changes in its dimensions or dynamic effects.","PeriodicalId":106695,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130121456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stimulating pressure points on the skin has a wide range of applications in manual therapy – both to eliminate functional disorders in the musculoskeletal system and to relieve pain. An acupressure-like effect can be achieved when the practitioner or the person pressures the skin with the thumb on specific pressure-points on the body. So far, there have not been any product solutions which combine (full)-body garments with an acupressure-like effect. Understanding textiles as a grid which holds pressure balls in place and making use of fiber and textile technologies for industrial knitting has enabled “trykk.” to develop four pressure-point-garments with different textile variables. The purpose of the garment is to substitute the mechanical stimulation of the acupressure-like thumb on the skin through a patent-pending 3-dimensional textile-body interface which consists of a flexible textile grid and small marble-sized semi-precious stone balls. This paper describes a study set-up where the four prototypes in five different haptic use-scenarios are compared to the average force applied in an acupressure-like intervention. Besides, data of the likeability (satisfaction) regarding the four distinctive textiles were obtained. Results demonstrated a comparable performance of the prototypes in four out of five use case scenarios. Textile variables significantly altered users’ interest in the garments, yet had no significant effect on the technical performance and the perceived intensity of stimulation.","PeriodicalId":106695,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116780393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
