Thus, understanding and controlling filler localization inside the developing phase morphology during melt spinning are the keys to the necessary structures. This work aimed to offer the possibility of producing fibers from electrically conductive polymer composites with a high filler concentration. First, the influence of different commercially available nanofillers, such as multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphene and carbon black on Polyamide 6 (PA6)-based nanocomposite melt-spun fibers were examined. Following the lab-scale melt spinning experiments, PA6/MWCNT-CB nanocomposite filaments containing 10 wt% nanofiller (each 5 wt%), were chosen for a pilot-scale bicomponent melt spinning process to investigate the influence of the nanocomposite core material feeding parameters on the properties of melt-spun fibers. The electrical conductivity decreased by half (from 3.13E-02 to 6.72E-03) when melt flow rate was increased from 3 g/min to 6 g/min. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs and thermal gravimetric analysis thermograms showed that the change in MFR values significantly affected the nanocomposite filaments’ surface properties.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41759275","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, it has been a challenge to enhance the accuracy rate of NIR-based waste textile sorting due to the major influences from water contexts in the samples. Orthogonalization of External Parameters (EPO) has been introduced to reduce the interference from water absorption in NIR spectral signals for better accuracy and reliability in modeling. Here we explore the feasibility of applying EPO strategy with varieties of algorithms, including partial least squares regression (PLS), artificial neural network (ANN), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), extreme random tree (Extra-tree), decision tree model based on AdaBoost algorithm (AdaBoost-tree), support Vector machine (SVM), one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), and one-dimensional convolutional neural network with improved Inception structure (1D-Inception-CNN). 216 waste textiles samples from Xinjiang, China, were studied with different moisture levels. Among them, 80 samples were used to develop the EPO algorithm, 112 were used to establish the prediction models, and 24 were used as test datasets. Then, the samples were scanned using a near-infrared spectrometer at different moisture regain rates. Our results showed that the moisture content of waste textiles had strong absorption peaks near 1150 and 1450 nm, leading to a decrease in the near-infrared reflectance of waste textiles. To verify the effectiveness of the EPO algorithm, the decision coefficients (R2 score) and other indicators of the model without the EPO process and the model with EPO process are systematically compared. Our results show that the EPO algorithm preprocessing improves the accuracy of the NIR model (The average decision coefficient (R2 score) of the models was increased by 0.83), especially when the moisture interference level is significant. Therefore, the EPO integrated modeling method is a reliable approach for better accuracy in NIR-based waste textile sorting.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45937414","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}

This study investigated the influence of yarn twist and geometrical parameters on the electrical properties of silver-coated nylon multifilament yarns, ranging from 1-ply to 4-ply, with twist levels of 30 twists per meter (TPM) and up to 600 TPM. Increase in twist level resulted in decreasing yarn linear resistance, with a plateau at 300 TPM, along with limiting values for yarn specific volume (1.6-1.9 cc/g), and fibre orientation angle (12-18°). The increase in yarn conductivity with higher twist was explained by greater contact between the fibrous assembly, that bridges electrically conductive pathways in the yarn structure. Twisted yarns (2-ply) were fabricated into electrode structures via embroidery, and a progressive increase in contact impedance was observed, followed by a stabilization and plateau within the range of measured impedance from 210 to 300 TPM. This observation was attributed to the decrease in the yarn specific volume, and subsequently the longitudinal diameter with increasing twist level, which decreased the contact area between the skin and electrode interface. The electrodes fabricated from varying yarn twist levels were used for electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement, and demonstrated comparable signal quality to standard gel electrodes. This experimental and theoretical work forms the basis in defining relationships between established yarn twist mechanics and geometrical properties with electrical properties. This can guide materials and design parameter selection of suitable conductive yarns for e-textiles used in biopotential monitoring applications.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135443078","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 introductory part focuse an of the use of recycled textiles, a description and division of technical textiles, a description of the examined material and its composition, combustion processes, and the method of handling waste textiles. The monitored characteristics were the determination of the ignitability of the material, the gross calorific value as well as the radiant heat resistance. The measurements were carried out on samples from recycled technical textiles before and after their treatment with flame retardants (Isonem Anti-fire Solution, Ecogard B45, HR Prof, woven carbon foil, non-woven carbon foil). The best results in the ignitability test after treatment with liquid flame retardants were obtained after treatment with Ecogard B45. The results show that when flame retardants are used, the released heat during the combustion of the monitored materials treated through the dipping method is significantly lower from 13.7 MJ/kg to 23.7 MJ/kg. The lowest gross calorific values were achieved when using liquid flame retardant HR Prof when applied by dipping. The proportion of material that did not burn was very low (4.61 to 5.63%). After exposure to radiant heat for 10 min, the highest mass loss was 13.6% (dipping in Ecogard B45) and the smallest 1.8% (non-woven carbon foil). Based on results, it shows that flame retardant ECOGARD® B45 for the insulation material Senizol AT XX2 TL60 made from recycled technical textiles is the most suitable fire protection.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135650173","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}

Therefore, this work aims to develop a sustainable wind resistant and water repellant fabric through novel technology that reduces production processing steps for efficient energy consumption without compromising required functional performances without durable water repellency coatings (DWR) and application of fluorinated chemicals. This development aims to overcome the drawbacks associated with multiple production processing steps, hazardous chemicals, delamination, degradation, and reduction in vapor permeability due to adhesive layer, etc. In this work, the one-layer fabric was developed using polyester filament yarn on one surface and polyamide low melt yarn on another surface using plaited knitting technique. Further, the fabric was thermally processed at different conditions to create uniform barrier film through melting and flowing of polyamide yarns on fabric surface. The optimized and efficient thermal processing parameters were determined using Box-Behnken design as 120°C, 30 s and 0.5 MPa which yielded a fabric membrane with air permeability of 33.5 cm 3 /s/cm 2 , highest resistance to surface wetting with grade 5, exhibited hydrophobicity with water contact angle (WCA) of 120° and water vapor transmission rate of 875.7 (g/(m 2 ·24 h)). Developed fabric also shows high abrasion resistant which would have increased clothing lifespan and comparable stiffness to commercially available wind stopper and water repellant fabrics.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135798578","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 results of objective tests showed that compared to regular welding protective clothing, the new protective clothing exhibited significant improvements in flame resistance, light resistance, and mechanical performance, with relatively lower vapor resistance. In subjective evaluations, the subjective evaluation scores (on a 5-point scale) of the new welding protective clothing were 26.46% and 27.95% higher than those of regular welding protective clothing, respectively ( p ≤ .05). Furthermore, the protective clothing system demonstrated a highly sensitive monitoring and feedback mechanism during testing, which can enhance workers’ ability to withstand risks and improve their psychological safety.

Understanding the mechanics behind fabric performance during forming operations is of paramount importance, especially given the diverse use of various fabric types as key components in composite products. Fabric's ability to undergo shear deformation is a pivotal attribute in forming and facilitating the transformation of 2-dimensional preforms into intricate 3-dimensional structures. In numerous industrial applications, the manufacturing of composite materials heavily relies on carbon and Kevlar fibers. This research investigates the relationship between shear stress and wrinkling in single-layer structures. The investigation involved woven fabrics composed of carbon, Kevlar, and hybrid carbon-Kevlar configurations. The study encompassed an assessment of shear characteristics, wrinkling force, and fabric stiffness for each fabric variant. To comprehensively analyze the intricate interplay among in-plane shear characteristics, fabric parameters, and tow properties in the scope of shear behavior, the study's findings underwent meticulous scrutiny. Selected tow and fabric parameters exhibit a substantial paired association with the fabric shear modulus, a deduction derived from analysis of experimental results. The formulated fabric shear index serves as a valuable tool for categorizing the fabric's response to shear forces. The shear force component that triggers the onset of buckling demonstrates a proportional relationship with the cube root of the fabric shear modulus. This observation sheds light on the intricate connection between shear properties and mechanical behavior, offering valuable insights into the fabric's performance under various conditions.","PeriodicalId":16097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Textiles","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134980101","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 mapping relationships between the number of units, holding duration, and compaction times with the rebound height of inter-laminar fibers are established using data fitting.
