The woven fabrics construction parameters were varied in terms of weft yarn counts (16, 20, and 24 Tex) and pick densities as defined by pick wheel teeth (PWT) (30, 36, and 41 T). The fabrics were surface treated with 6% concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) using the alkali treatment method. The obtained results revealed that mechanical strength improved with decreasing weft yarn count and increasing PWT. Notably, chemically treated composites with the highest PWT exhibited superior strength compared to untreated counterparts, attributed to more compact microstructures, reduced fabric/fiber breakages, and enhanced interfacial bonding between the reinforced plain-woven cotton fabric and epoxy matrix. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that all composites have higher thermal stability above 300°C, with untreated fabric composites exhibiting the highest resistance to degradation, whereas the treated composite quickly degraded at an onset temperature of 288.4°C due to the removal of the hemicellulose, decomposition of the cellulose, and lignin content. In conclusion, the study indicates that surface treatment and woven construction parameters such as weft yarn counts and pick wheel teeth, as well as the resin infusion technique, significantly influence the mechanical, microstructural, and thermal properties of resin-infused woven cotton reinforced composites for potential application in industrial and automotive sectors, offering lightweight, durable solutions for components such as construction and building panels, doors, and roof panels.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":"295 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141871394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outer upholstery layer of the seat cover is the main factor contributing to overall user discomfort in the driving environment. This is related to the limitations of the conventional fabrics used. Therefore, alternative textile materials for seat covering are being increasingly sought out. In this work, we propose innovative shape memory-based seat covering fabrics offering improved comfort properties. Shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) multifilament yarns were combined with polyester (PES) yarns to produce three types of woven fabrics having the typical structures used in seat coverings (plain, twill 2/2 and derived twill) using a fixed warp and weft ratio of 3PES:1SMPU. The effects of SMPU yarns on the physical characteristics of the fabrics (thickness, areal weight, yarn density, and tightness) as well as on their mechanical behavior, shape memory effect, thermal comfort, and abrasion resistance under similar usage conditions in car seat covers were investigated. Improvement was observed in the ergonomic comfort with maintained thermal comfort in the presence of SMPU multifilament yarns, with this effect being more noticeable in the twill fabrics. The thermodynamic SMPU-based fabrics used in this study could be potential candidates for use in seat upholstery given the improvement in user comfort over extended use.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":"164 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The photochromic polymeric matrices consist of a photochromic pigment, a polymer, and a photo stabilizer, which enhance the stability of the photochromic systems under light exposure. As a base matrix, we used polyvinyl butyral. Then, we added different amounts of the photochromic pigment 5-chloro-1,3,3-trimethylspiro [indoline-2,3′-(3H) naphtho (2,1-b) (1,4)-oxazine]. We produce photochromic nonwovens by electrospinning a polymeric matrix solution with varying pigment concentrations. The study aimed to create a UV sensor with photochromic nanofibers that are very sensitive to light. It also tested how well it can degrade under continuous UV radiation by looking at its photo fatigue resistance under constant UV irradiation for its final use as a UV sensor material. Using FTIR, CRM, SEM, and XRD techniques, this study investigates the physiochemical properties and photodegradation behaviour of photochromic nonwovens and writes a report on it. The photo-light stability of photochromic materials is a major problem concerning its external stimuli in different substrate forms. It also looks at how well they resist photo-chemically towards the UV light. The fatigue resistance measurements were carried out using a FOTOCHROM3 spectrophotometer under continuous UV irradiance using two different modes. This study evaluated and reported their photodegradation behaviour in cyclic and continuous UV irradiance modes. The tests showed that the prepared photochromic system works well with photostability and can go through more than 20 exposure cycles, each with 100 min of UV light and intensity equal to 1/3 of the sun’s rays on a clear day. Given the PVB applications in our daily lives, it can serve as a UV sensor in numerous industrial applications. Photochromic nanofibers possessing excellent photosensitivity hold immense promise as optical rewritable devices and colourimetric-based UV sensors.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improving the coating of workwear fabrics while maintaining air permeability is considered an engineering control measure to protect workers in environments with thermal stress. This study aimed to optimize the coating of workwear fabrics with TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> nanoparticles to enhance thermal insulation properties and air permeability using the response surface methodology (RSM) and MATLAB. The input variables were the titanium isopropoxide volume and reaction time in the ultrasonic, while the output variables were the coating percent, air permeability, and thermal conductivity coefficients. The morphology of TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> nanoparticle and coated fabric (FE-SEM, EDS, FTIR, FTIR-ATR, DLS, and XRD), The intrinsic properties of fabrics (Yarn Count, Abrasion Resistance, Tensile, Tearing Strength), the Water Vapor permeability, Surface wetting resistance, and Durability test were evaluated according to the standard methods. No significant differences were observed in the intrinsic properties between the coated and uncoated fabrics. Increasing the coating percent of fabrics with TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> nanoparticles was accompanied with a decrease in the thermal conductivity coefficient and an increase in air permeability. The positive effect of nanoparticle coating is a significant step towards introducing a new generation of smart textiles with the potential to improve thermal insulation properties while maintaining air permeability. This advancement aims to preserve and enhance the health and safety of workers exposed to thermal stress.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141196719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, concerns arise about the impact of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). Studies have explored nanoparticle release from textiles during usage and washing. However, the existing data is fragmented, and a comprehensive grasp is absent. A systematic review is required to consolidate existing evidence and offer a thorough analysis of nanoparticle release from nano-enhanced textiles in commercial use and washing. This review assess the research aims to concerning the release of nanomaterials from commercial textiles during usage and laundering. The process involved defining objectives, crafting a search strategy, utilizing databases, and applying inclusion/exclusion criteria. After deduplication, articles were screened for eligibility, covering nanoparticle characteristics and release mechanisms. Searches spanned Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, using keywords like “Nano,” “Nanoparticles,” etc. Original articles on nanomaterial release from conventional textiles were included. Out of 1549 articles identified, and met the criteria for inclusion in the study. The results reveal that textiles employing nanotechnology can indeed release a significant quantity of nanoparticles. The characteristics of these released particles, including their quantity and composition, are influenced by various factors such as nanoparticle structure, adhesive properties, fabric type, and environmental interactions. While there exist variations between laboratory simulations and real-world conditions, these findings underscore potential risks associated with nanoparticle release, underscoring the necessity for toxicological assessments and additional research into particle behavior, particularly emphasizing the functional aspects of fibers and the environmental impact following nanoparticle release after washing.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141165557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incorporation of reinforcing fibers and structures, such as negative Poisson, has the potential to enhance the mechanical properties of three-dimensional products. In this study, a specialized nozzle is developed for 3D Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers dedicated to the production of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRT) composites. The primary objective is to enhance the tensile strength and impact resistance of 3D-printed samples. It is achieved through the investigation of strategies such as fiber reinforcement, variation in the number of fibers within the reinforcing yarn, and the creation of samples featuring an internal structure with a negative Poisson’s ratio (NPRS). In this regard, four types of 3D samples are prepared including polymer only, polymer with a negative Poisson’s ratio structure, polymer reinforced with continuous fibers (glass and carbon fibers), and polymer reinforced with continuous fibers featuring a negative Poisson’s ratio structure. The mechanical properties of these samples, including tensile strength and impact resistance, are also compared. The results indicate that incorporating fibers as reinforcement can enhance the mechanical properties of 3D-printed products. Moreover, continuous fibers with more fibers within the same yarn count have an increased strengthening effect. The use of negative Poisson structures significantly improves impact resistance but adversely affects tensile strength.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141149280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Orthopedic sutures play an important role in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) yarns, with excellent tensile, compressive, impact strength, abrasion resistance, and chemical stability, are competitive materials for the preparation of sutures, but the tensile properties of sutures in knotted and wet environments are more informative in practical applications. In this paper, the effects of different structural parameters, knotting methods, and environments on the physical properties of nonabsorbable UHMWPE sutures, including appearance, breaking force, and breaking elongation, were investigated. The results showed that sutures with circular cross-sections had the best tensile properties; the loop knot gave the suture the greatest breaking strength, but also the smallest elongation, and the more complex the knot, the greater the elongation of the suture; dry and wet conditions have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of sutures. It is expected that this study will provide theoretical support for the optimal design of sutures and provide a basis for doctors to choose the knotting method.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141149479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the filtration performance of geotextile in BEP emergency rescue, several experiments were conducted using nonwoven and woven geotextiles to simulate the process of rescuing BEP with geotextiles. The influence of geotextile specifications and types on hydraulic compatibility of the filter system was analyzed, and the clogging mechanism of geotextile during dealing with BEP was revealed at a microscopic level. The results showed that the nonwoven geotextile filter with an equivalent pore size of 0.103 mm had a gradient ratio value of less than 3, and it had a highest flow rate of 260 mL/min. Increasing the thickness and pore size of nonwoven geotextiles within a certain range helped enhance their anti-clogging ability. The main mechanism of clogging in nonwoven geotextiles was the deposition of fine sand particles on their surface, forming a layer of low permeability soil. Plain woven geotextiles experienced severe clogging with a 42% reduction in flow rate, and it was not suitable for rescuing BEP. The clogging mechanism of woven geotextile involved the blocking of horizontal water passages by fine sand particles.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141063660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
