The apparel business, specifically the denim washing sector, faces significant sustainability concerns, mostly due to its contribution to water contamination and chemical waste. This study employed a range of strategies to highlight the issue of sustainability in apparel washing. This study examined the sustainability of different denim wash techniques, including ozone wash and ozone wash with laser fading, in comparison with conventional methods. Its aim was to establish the credibility of these techniques as sustainable practices by demonstrating their efficacy across various denim wash categories using environmental impact measurement (EIM) software. Environmental impact measurement evaluates the ecological consequences of apparel across four key areas: water usage, chemical usage, energy consumption during production and the impact on labour. It was observed that the methods mentioned above necessitate minimal usage of water and chemicals, resulting in reduced waste and pollution. This study included a comprehensive assessment of various aspects of apparel washing, and concluded that ozone washing and ozone wash with laser fading are advantageous methods for adopting sustainable washing.","PeriodicalId":22555,"journal":{"name":"TEKSTILEC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141003636","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}

Several factors can influence a machine's efficiency, resulting in fluctuations in the slivers generated over time. To achieve consistent and reproducible quality levels, slivers from all carding machines must be blended homogeneously. This blending process is vital for achieving homogeneity in the final product and maintaining a high quality standard. This can be achieved by cross-doubling. In this technique, carded slivers are arranged into categories of good, medium and low quality based on the nep removal efficiency of the carding machine behind the breaker draw frame. This is a specific type of doubling process. The focus of this research was the effectiveness of the aforementioned practice. Three carding machines were selected out of seven based on the quality level of the produced carded sliver, which was measured by nep removal efficiency. Yarn samples of 29.5 tex were produced from the slivers of the individual carding machines and by cross-doubling them at the breaker draw frame. Samples were collected at each stage of processing and tested. The results showed that cross-doubling significantly reduced variation in the imperfection level and yarn strength, but had very little effect on the mass variation level of the strands. Furthermore, the categorization of the four samples for selection was carried out using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method. This study will provide a guideline for new spinners to enhance yarn quality through cross-doubling on a draw frame machine.","PeriodicalId":22555,"journal":{"name":"TEKSTILEC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005854","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 samples were knitted from different conventional and sustainable yarns. The selected conventional fibres were 100% cotton, 50% cotton-50% polyester and 100% polyester, while the sustainable fibres were 100% better cotton, 100% recycled polyester, and 50% organic cotton-50% recycled polyester. Measurements were taken before and after 20 washes according to the relevant standards. It was found that fabric produced from 100% recycled polyester is suitable for active sportswear due to its high air permeability, and resistance to heat and water vapor. In addition, the fabric with 50% organic cotton-50% recycled polyester fibres was more suitable for cold environmental conditions due to its lowest water vapor resistance, good air permeability and high thermal resistance.","PeriodicalId":22555,"journal":{"name":"TEKSTILEC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139006038","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}

This study aims to develop a new eco-friendly process for the hydrothermal in-situ synthesis of TiO2 in cotton fabric and dyeing with curcumin natural dye to produce a photocatalytically active coloured textile platform with simultaneous UV protection properties. Two approaches were developed: classical, which included dyeing of the cotton samples with Curcuma longa (turmeric) extracts at different concentrations (5 g/L, 10 g/L and 15 g/L) and subsequent hydrothermal in-situ synthesis of TiO2 in the presence of the dyed cotton samples, and greener, in which simultaneous dyeing with turmeric extracts and hydrothermal in-situ synthesis of TiO2 were carried out. Since increasing the turmeric concentration hindered the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 in the chemically modified cotton samples, 5 g/L was selected as the most suitable turmeric concentration. A comparison of the chemical modification processes shows that the simultaneous dyeing of cotton with turmeric extract and hydrothermal in-situ synthesis of TiO2 was beneficial and resulted in a UV protection factor 50+, which corresponds to excellent protection category. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 was maintained in the presence of turmeric, indicating the compatibility of both players in the chemically modified cotton, but not the creation of a turmeric–TiO2 heterojunction with visible-light-driven photocatalysis. The presence of TiO2 inhibited the photodegradation of the curcumin dye, further confirming the compatibility of the two players.","PeriodicalId":22555,"journal":{"name":"TEKSTILEC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138592199","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 has thus become necessary to focus on the use of different natural fibres to mitigate UV transitions and the formation of electrostatic charges. The aim of this research was to enhance the protection of the ultraviolet effect and reduce electrostatic charge formation by blending cellulose yarns (bamboo and cotton) with trilobal polyester microfiber yarn that has characteristics such as lightweight, low-thickness, high strength, and shine. Knitted samples were produced from two different structures according to their tightness factor (single jersey and fleece structures), the various functional properties of the produced fabrics, such as mass per unit area, thickness, air and water permeability, and bursting strength, were tested. The properties of electrostatic charge and the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) were also determined. The findings indicate that the samples produced with bamboo resulted in a preferable performance with different structures, especially when considering electrostatic charge and UPF properties. Moreover, the fleece structure had a more significant effect on knitted samples’ behaviour than the single jersey (plain) structure.","PeriodicalId":22555,"journal":{"name":"TEKSTILEC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139203439","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}

In today’s factories, the optimal amount of resin and the mechanical quality of the carpet are controlled by the operator touching the carpet on the machine carpet finishing line or manually while rolling the carpet. Proposed in this paper is an automatic method based on the evaluation of the bending stiffness of the sized carpet that uses digital image processing and machine learning to measure the optimal amount of size concentration and control this index. For this purpose, during the final stage of carpet production, the carpet is folded in the middle, and two edges of the carpet are placed on top of each other. A side view image is then taken of the carpet. Using edge detection methods, the edges of the carpet are identified, and different features, such as the average, maximum and minimum statistics for the curve and contour angles, are then extracted. Different conventional machine learning approaches, such as KNN, CART and SVM, are applied. To evaluate the proposed method, a dataset containing 220 different images is used in a 10-fold cross-validation scheme. Different performance measures resulting from the evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the method.","PeriodicalId":22555,"journal":{"name":"TEKSTILEC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135460601","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}

To fully exploit this potential, it is necessary to develop not only hardware, but also methods that enable the design of novel machine-crocheted fabrics. In the case of manual crocheting, approaches for an automated generation of crochet patterns according to 3D shapes have already been presented in the literature. However, the most technically advanced crocheting machine prototype currently proposed automates the crocheting of flat fabrics starting from a chain row. Given the limitations and operation of this so-called CroMat crocheting machine, a tool for shaping flat machine-crocheted fabrics according to 2D convex polygons is presented here. With this, surfaces can be divided into crochet stitches using a tessellation process and numerical optimization. The rules of the automated crocheting process were thus followed to ensure the machine manufacturability of generated patterns. Computer models of the fabrics were used as previews. In addition, the shaping possibilities of the CroMat crocheting machine, in particular with respect to increase and decrease stitches, are presented and discussed by means of the tessellation optimization of exemplary polygon shapes. Generally speaking, the algorithm extends the toolbox for designing machine-crocheted fabrics through the automated generation of valid crochet patterns corresponding to input shapes and according to the possibilities of the CroMat crocheting machine prototype.","PeriodicalId":22555,"journal":{"name":"TEKSTILEC","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136077972","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}

In this research work, fabric was treated with banana peel, casein, and a combination of banana peel and casein, without cyclodextrin, while cyclodextrin-loaded fabric treated samples were tested for antimicrobial resistance (AATCC100-2004). The treated samples initially studied using FTIR showed a peak point at 3,278.99 cm-1, which infers the presence of an O-H group for banana peel extract, and at 3,340.71 cm-1, which infers the presence of an N-H group for casein. Antimicrobial tests against E. coli showed a bacterial reduction of 81.44%, while a reduction of 52.80% was recorded for S. aureus.

Using a Vitus Smart 3D body scanner and the Anthroscan program, the test subjects were scanned and measured in the upright standing position according to ISO 20685 and in three dynamic positions. Depending on the defined measurements for the analysis in each dynamic position, scanning markers were attached to test subjects’ bodies to ensure the precise determination of anthropometric measuring points. Based on the obtained measurement results, dimensional changes and correlations of the three dynamic positions relative to the measurements in the upright standing position were analysed. The analysis showed significant differences in dynamic positions measurements compared to the upright standing position and indicated the assumption that the dimensional changes of body in motion within a specific body constitution group depend on the initial body part dimensions.
