To address the above problem, an enhanced generative adversarial network for data augmentation and improved fabric defect detection was proposed. Firstly, the dataset is preprocessed to generate defect localization maps, which are combined with non-defective fabric images and input into the network for training, which helps to better extract defect features. In addition, by utilizing a Double U-Net network, the fusion of defects and textures is enhanced. Next, random noise and the multi-head attention mechanism are introduced to improve the model’s generalization ability and enhance the realism and diversity of the generated images. Finally, we merge the newly generated defect image data with the original defect data to realize the data enhancement. Comparison experiments were performed using the YOLOv3 object detection model on the training data before and after data enhancement. The experimental results show a significant accuracy improvement for five defect types – float, line, knot, hole, and stain – increasing from 41%, 44%, 38%, 42%, and 41% to 78%, 76%, 72%, 67%, and 64%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":22323,"journal":{"name":"Textile Research Journal","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140148878","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 impart waterproof ability and breathability, a common practice is to modify the electrospun membrane with low surface-energy materials, such as fluorosilane. However, when directly added to the electrospinning solution, the effects of fluorosilane on the property of the prepared membrane have been scarcely reported. Herein, we prepared the electrospun polyurethane membrane by adding two types of fluorosilane into the polyurethane solution. The effects of fluorosilane type and concentration on the conductivity and viscosity of the electrospinning solution were investigated. Moreover, the prepared polyurethane/fluorosilane fibrous membranes are analyzed in terms of their surface morphology, structure, water contact angle, breathable performance, and mechanical properties. Results show that the dual effects of fluorosilane content exert an opposing influence on the jet drawing process, which yields a minimum fiber diameter when the fluorosilane content is 20%. Under this condition, the membrane shows the highest water vapor transmission rate (10.4 kg/(m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>·d). In addition the membranes have the maximum water contact angle (138°) and breaking strength (12 MPa) when the fluorosilane content is 40%. This study provides insights into fabricating electrospun waterproof and breathable membranes in equipment for outdoor sports and protection.","PeriodicalId":22323,"journal":{"name":"Textile Research Journal","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140148637","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}

In order to explore the characteristic neural potential components induced by various fabric tactile stimulation and their influence rules, event-related potential technology with ultra-high time resolution was introduced to monitor the somatosensory brain region under tactile stimulation of fabrics with different tactile properties, and the signal changes of related potentials were extracted and analyzed. The results showed that the amplitudes of N100 increased with the stiffness of the fabric, the amplitudes of P200 decreased with the smoothness of the fabric, and the amplitudes of P300 decreased with the smoothness and softness of the fabric. These results indicated that N100, P200, and P300 potentials could be used as neurophysiological response indexes of brain neurons to distinguish the subtle differences in fabric tactile properties. This finding not only laid a scientific theoretical basis for the brain perception mechanism of fabric tactile properties, but also provided a possibility for further quantification characterization of textile comfort perception.","PeriodicalId":22323,"journal":{"name":"Textile Research Journal","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140148646","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}

In certain specialized applications, such as coloration technology, it is possible to use colorimetry tools, visual examination, and even artificial vision to identify defects. However, none of these techniques comprehensively map the specific additive distribution. This paper proposes a novel approach: monitoring the distribution of conductive particles (graphene nanoplatelets, referred to as GNPs) within an acrylic coating paste using the Joule’s effect. Four different dispersion systems (ultrasound mixer, blender, toroidal agitation, and three-roll mill) are employed. Thermographic images provide an accurate view of how conductive particles are distributed. This complements data from numerical values, such as the maximum and average temperatures recorded for each sample. In certain cases, relying solely on numerical values can be inadequate or insufficient, hence the novelty of this article emphasizing the significance of using the Joule’s effect to assess the distribution of conductive particles. Concerning the mixing systems, optimal dispersion of GNPs in distilled water is most effectively achieved using an ultrasound mixer, with enhanced uniformity as dispersion time increases. For mixing the components of the coating paste, the toroidal agitation method yields the best result. Employing the three-roll mill is discouraged for this application due to its propensity to induce phase separation.","PeriodicalId":22323,"journal":{"name":"Textile Research Journal","volume":"98 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140148648","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}

Measurement of relevant fabric characteristics requires very specific laboratory equipment, such as an M 290 moisture management tester (SDL ATLAS) or similar. For this reason, it is obvious that there is a great demand to predict the overall moisture management capability ( OMMC) based on the individual properties that are responsible for clothing comfort and testing according to different standards rather than OMMC-specific calculation using the M 290 tester. Therefore, in this research, linear regression analysis was performed using MATLAB software to predict the OMMC for cotton–polyester fabrics knitted in two patterns, namely 1 × 1 rib and half-Milano rib, using four percentages of fibers. Water vapor permeability, water vapor resistance, water absorption capacity, water absorption time, and air permeability were used as input variables for linear regression analysis to predict the OMMC of fabrics. The performed analysis has shown that the OMMC is directly dependent on the relative water vapor permeability and air permeability, and the linear regression equation suggested in this research can predict the suitability of a textile for a particular garment concerning its moisture management behavior.","PeriodicalId":22323,"journal":{"name":"Textile Research Journal","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140148653","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}

It is significant for improving bra fit, and is an important aspect of garment ergonomics. To obtain the important feature parameters that can effectively represent breast morphology, this study proposed a feature parameter extraction method based on the machine learning model. First, the human body point-cloud data of 201 female college students were obtained by a three-dimensional body scanner, and 24 feature parameters related to breast morphology were acquired. Then, the cluster analysis was used to classify breast morphology into four categories: uniform hemisphere, outward expanding circular, converging water drop, and outward expanding hemisphere. Finally, principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimensionality of feature parameters, and the three machine learning models, naive Bayes, support vector machine, and random forest, were utilized to extract the parameters after dimensionality reduction. The results showed that principal component analysis could reduce the dimensions of breast feature parameters to seven main parameters. Based on the above three models, the seven main parameters were further reduced to three important feature parameters. They were sorted sequentially: breast volume, breast surface area, and longitudinal breast cup straight line length, and the Fisher discriminate function was used to distinguish breast morphology. The recognition accuracy based on the three important feature parameters reached 99%, higher than 97.5% for full feature parameters recognition, and 98% for seven feature parameters recognition. It is proved that the three important feature parameters obtained by the machine model are effective in characterizing breast morphology.","PeriodicalId":22323,"journal":{"name":"Textile Research Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140127919","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 aim of this study is to design a mathematical model that accurately represents the correlation between frequency and absorption coefficient for analysis. The same was obtained by aligning the noise absorption coefficients (NACs) determined through an impedance tube and calculated based on the reverberation time. The analysis indicated that jute fiber exhibits superior performance compared to other natural fibers, such as rock and glass wool, in the attenuation of sound frequencies above 2200 Hz. The results motivated further investigation over jute nonwoven fabric to conduct layer analysis (1–7) and to examine the impact of thickness. Thereby, a dataset was compiled consisting of 11 fibrous samples (nine natural and two commercial fibers) and jute nonwoven fabric. The empirical model was developed regardless of the type of fiber or thickness of the nonwoven fabric, and it was successfully validated for three additional fibers (banana, pineapple, and ramie). The predictive model exhibited a high level of accuracy in estimating the NAC, displaying a strong similarity to that of impedance tube measurements. The achieved mean absolute error ranges for the predictions are between 0.02 and 0.03 only. The main discovery of this study revolves around the recognition of frequency of sound as a crucial variable and its application in predicting the NAC for the samples.","PeriodicalId":22323,"journal":{"name":"Textile Research Journal","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140127926","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}

Although a great progress has been made in the development of phase change material textiles, it has been found that the loading amount of phase change materials is limited by other final properties. Recently, we have proposed a sandwich fibrous phase change material encapsulation with a relatively high phase change material loading amount, which is a multi-layer fabric structure containing phase change material. However, the breathability of sandwich fibrous phase change material encapsulation should be improved because there is no path for air to penetrate through. In this work, the sandwich fibrous phase change material encapsulation structure with polyethylene glycol as phase change material is modified by introducing different air pockets in the thermal function layer ranging from 19% to 64%. The leakage phenomenon, phase transition behavior, thermal energy storage, breathability, T-history and practicality of the breathable sandwich fibrous phase change material encapsulations are investigated. As a result, the maximum polyethylene glycol loading amount of the phase change materials pocket is 83 wt%, and there is no leakage of polyethylene glycol during working time. The overall enthalpy value of the breathable sandwich fibrous phase change material encapsulation ranges from 27 J/g to 48 J/g. The optimal air permeability and water vapor resistance of the breathable sandwich fibrous phase change material encapsulation is 9 mm/s under 100 Pa and 34.5 m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> Pa W<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>. Furthermore, the heterogeneous heat transfer through the breathable sandwich fibrous phase change material encapsulation is found due to the complicated thermal resistances of the hybrid thermal functional layer. In addition, for breathable sandwich fibrous phase change material encapsulation, the flexibility, hydrophobicity, self-cleaning property, abrasion resistance, and stability after water immersion are found. We believe the research has a great potential in various applications related to phase change material.","PeriodicalId":22323,"journal":{"name":"Textile Research Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140127887","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 twist exerts profound influence over the fiber disposition and density within yarns, as well as the yarn and the wicking pathways for liquid water. We use a mathematical model grounded in the three-dimensional helical capillary permeation mechanism, inherently linked to the twist factor. This model operates under the assumption that the yarn's fibers exhibit uniform diameters and arrangements. Leveraging the macroscopic force equilibrium method, a function of liquid capillary rise with wicking time was deduced. and the dynamic progression of liquid water ascent within the yarn was simulated using the COMSOL platform. Subsequently, a series of wicking experiments were executed on polyester filament yarns, each characterized by varying twist levels.
