Manual balancing of industrial sewing products takes a long time to give results, which depends on the experience of the sewing line manager, moreover, the efficiency is not necessarily optimal. Digital conversion will help find a solution to balance the sewing line more quickly, accurately, and optimally. This study presents the statements of the problem of balancing knitted garment lines in the industry with the line balancing process according to the method of Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) and BSL-HUST-1 software, which is the software designed and built by our research group. For the balancing calculation, three groups of input data were defined for the comparison of balancing efficiency among the HUST method, the software method, and the method used traditionally by the companies. The line's capacity is determined as the total production amount in a shift, and the shift time is figured accordingly following each factory's rules. The total number of workers is an essential factor. Also, the cycle time is one of the important factors for balancing the sewing line.","PeriodicalId":12123,"journal":{"name":"Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe","volume":"155 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77295482","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}

Construction variables include ends per cm (EPCm), picks per cm (PPCm), an overall configuration of yarn, and fabric’s areal density or grams per square meter (GSM). While the statistical relationship in deciding the fabric strength is very complicated considering all variables, the correlation-regression model is used to explain the influence of structural parameters on the tear and tensile strength of various fundamental fabrics’ designs. With different thread densities varying reed counts, and heald count using 100 percent cotton yarn having 36.9 tex, eight different designs of plain, twill, and sateen are prepared for the study. Four regression models, built to predict the tear and tensile strength of the sample woven fabrics, are vital components of this research. It is noticed that the setting of yarn affects the tensile strength of the fabrics, and the fabric pattern determines the tear strength of the fabrics. For higher tear strength, matt weave, and tensile strength, a twill structure is desired within this scope of the fabric structures.","PeriodicalId":12123,"journal":{"name":"Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe","volume":"293 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79532284","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}

Recently, the green-synthesis of nanoparticles from plant extracts has become an effective alternative to conventional physical and chemical synthesis methods due to being environmentally benign and nontoxic. In this review article, the significance of nanotechnology in antibacterial finishing of textiles, mechanism of antibacterial activity of nanoparticles, significance of green synthesis methods for nanoparticles have been discussed. The green-synthesis of different nanoparticles from the citrus plant extracts and their application on textiles for imparting antibacterial activity is reviewed in particular. The chemical composition of citrus plant extracts and their role as bioreductants in the synthesis of nanoparticles is also highlighted. Moreover, different qualitative and quantitative standard testing protocols employed for the antimicrobial characterization of plant extracts and textiles have been discussed.

Existing synthetic dyes have been proven to adversely affect the environment and human. Hence, revisiting natural dyes becomes a correct decision to alleviate existing environmental problems. Eco-print is one of the natural dyeing methods done by using plants typically found in the surroundings. This method has become the subject of various developments, both in its mordanting and making processes. Its visual aesthetics should also receive attention to avoid stagnation. Further development and innovation are necessary. The purpose of this study was to develop the visual aesthetic aspect of the eco-print method. It particularly focused on developing the design and production technique in terms of concepts, materials, and working techniques. This work also adopted a screen printing technique to enrich the motifs and colors. The method utilized in this research was art-based research with the premise of adapting artistic creativity to social research using an artistic practice approach because both are holistic and dynamic. The result showed that eco-print and screen printing methods could be combined, as the latter significantly enhance the eco-print product’s visual aesthetics. However, the result of this combination exhibited poor color fastness, implying the need for further study.","PeriodicalId":12123,"journal":{"name":"Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85512524","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}

It is known that even in relatively warm weather, moving air is cooler and constant exposure to wind when riding may cause a chilling effect that leads to hypothermia. Motorcyclists may lose the ability to concentrate and react on changing traffic conditions when they have hypothermia. We propose the use of electric heating elements in the jacket so that motorcyclist comforts increase. This element receives the energy from the worked engine of the motorcycle. It is located between the two fabrics layers (top and lining) and is made of nichrome wire. The heating is carried out by connecting this element with the power supply system of the motorcycle. In research, we use two types of packages that differ by top fabrics and two connection circuits. The studies were carried out in three different environmental conditions (air temperature, wind speed, and air humidity). Standard test methods were used for performance testing. The effectiveness of electric heating elements used in underwear space for increasing the thermal properties of motorcyclist clothing is proven. It was established that the use of an electric heating element is effective only with a thermocontroller in the electrical circuit. The results of our investigation confirmed the effectiveness of electric heating elements being used in motorcyclist jackets.","PeriodicalId":12123,"journal":{"name":"Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79740758","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}

However, multi-objective numerical optimization of coated hybrid textiles for weather protection has not been addressed. To ensure a comprehensive evaluation of ultrasonic weld seams, the research investigates the optimal solution of the multi-objective function of ultrasonic welding process parameters and formulates a single criteria objective function. Lapped and superimposed types of seams were applied based on 33 factorial designs of experiments for 6 and 12 mm welding widths. Single-criteria objective functions instead of three independent problems were developed as a generalized utility function. A single-criteria optimization method was introduced through predetermined weight and normalization within the range of acceptable/unacceptable values. Numerical and graphical optimization methods were also applied to determine possible optimal solutions through generalized utility functions. The best optimal value of the generalized utility function (0.670425 and 0.944374) was attained at welding speed (2 and 2.01564 m/min), power (93.756 and 117.973 W), and pressure force (198.803 and 239.756 N) of 6 and 12 mm welding widths, respectively. The acceptable range of satisfactory values was determined for the roof and wall of awnings and camping tents through standard, in which seam performance level indicated. Nonlinear quadratic numerical models were formulated to estimate the generalized utility function, and their results were close to the regressed diagonal line against the actual points. The statistical analysis was shown a statistically significant effect of welding process parameters on the generalized utility function.","PeriodicalId":12123,"journal":{"name":"Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76254042","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}

It affects not only the quality of yarn, but also the productivity of the warping, weaving, knitting machines as well as the quality of produced fabrics. Hairiness is influenced by the factors of raw materials, technology and equipment at all stages of yarn production. This article presents the results of experimental research on the simultaneous influence of four typical winding parameters, including: Winding speed (Z1), the load on the friction discs of the yarn tensioner (Z2), the distance between the bobbin and the yarn guide (Z3) and the pressure of package on the grooved drum (Z4) to the increasing percentage of the hairiness of the yarns after winding compared to that before winding. Yarn hairiness was measured by Uster tester 5. By using the second-order orthogonal experimental planning, together with the support of Excel 2019 and Design Expert 11 software, an experimental matrix and mathematical models describing the relationship between the four winding parameters and increasing percentage of the hairiness of three types of yarn (carded Ne 31/1 CVCD, combed Ne 30/1 CVCM, combed Ne 30/1 COCM) are established. The research result is the scientific basis for selecting the optimal winding parameters in order to achieve the required increase in hairiness of the yarn after winding or predict hairiness increase of the yarns before winding.","PeriodicalId":12123,"journal":{"name":"Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74747817","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 aim of this work was to propose an eco-friendly microencapsulation by solvent evaporation method that can contribute to the manufacture of medical textile products using microcapsules. Quillaja saponin was used as bio-sourced surfactant and ethyl acetate was used as the less toxic, non-halogenated organic solvent. The influences of saponin concentration, stirring speed during emulsification step and the volume of ethyl acetate used to saturate the aqueous phase before emulsification on the microcapsule size and morphology were investigated. The results showed that eudragit microcapsules of ibuprofen with diameter in range from 17 to 34 µm, which were suitable for medical textile applications, were successfully elaborated. The saponin concentration varied from 0.025 to 0.1 wt%. The stirring speed was changed from 700 to 600 rpm. The volume of ethyl acetate used in saturation step was 0, 8 and 12 ml. In the scope of investigation, the saponin concentration and the volume of ethyl acetate used in saturation step did affect the microcapsule size and morphology while the stirring speed did not. The saturation step really helped to reduce the formation of irregular microparticles and to narrow the size distribution, but the microcapsules became more porous, weaker and were deformed significantly by drying in the fabric treatment process.","PeriodicalId":12123,"journal":{"name":"Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80741373","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}
