The Ethiopian textile and apparel industry have grown an average of 51% over the last five years. Ethiopia’s sheep population, estimated to be 25.5 million heads, is found to be widely distributed across the diverse agro-ecological zones of the country. Wool, common name applied to the soft, curly fibers obtained chiefly from the fleece of domesticated sheep and used extensively in textile manufacturing. The fleece of sheep raised for wool is generally shorn once yearly, in the spring or early summer. In regions where the climate is warm throughout the year, shearing may occur twice annually. The value of wool on the market depends primarily on fineness and length of fiber. Strength, elasticity, amount of crimp, and uniformity are also considered. The present study was carried out to investigate the physical properties of raw wool fibers. A total of 24 sheep were used in this study. Samples of fiber were analyzed using standard measurements for wool fiber crimp, tenacity, moisture and amount of trash in the raw wool and comparing the weight of the raw wool to the cleaned wool fiber. Samples are drowning from four different parts of the country and the breeds are menz, tikur, farta and washera. The fineness of wool was coarser based on the microns grading system.","PeriodicalId":447757,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Fashion Technology & Textile Engineering","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114218497","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}

Electrocardiography, electromyography and electrotherapy are widely applied methods. While electrodes that are used for monitoring functions are small, the size of electrodes applied in electrotherapy is rather large. The latter electrodes have to be able to supply relatively high currents to the muscles. Due to the muscle contractions caused during the stimulation, skin movement and perspiration may loosen or disrupt the electrode. To accommodate for the relative skin movement under them, the electrodes need to possess sufficient flexibility to ensure good contact to the skin and avoid irritation and skin damage. Against this background textile electrodes integrated into clothes are an attractive alternative against self-adhesive electrodes as they ensure flexibility and a good contact to the human body. In this study, commercially available self-adhesive electrodes are compared to different textile electrodes. The electrodes were placed with a distance of approximately six centimetre on the lower legs of four healthy volunteers. Connected to a commercially available electrostimulation set-up, the different pairs of electrodes are investigated at different current intensities. It was shown that textile electrodes are an attractive alternative towards commercially available electrodes showing a smooth increase in stimulation with increasing current intensities.","PeriodicalId":447757,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Fashion Technology & Textile Engineering","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123222441","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}

Only in Sweden over 200 tonnes of textiles end up as household waste every day. To achieve and strive for a circular economy, The European Commission has pinpointed textiles as one important focus area. As a consequence, it is important to significantly increase collection rates and textile material recycling. Development of new technologies are therefore required in terms of recycling processes at industrial scale, but in order to achieve this scaling, efficient and specific sorting processes are required. This sorting must be able to consider several parameters such as fiber content and composition, as well as possible presence of harmful chemicals, since these parameters have significant implications for subsequent processes. Information systems based on RFID technology, where digital information carriers bring the essential information to the end-of-life-handling of textiles is found to be a promising solution. By means of integrating RFID tags in garments and textiles, all relevant information needed for further handling at end-of-life can be made available. However, since July 2019, the RoHS directive includes category 11, a catch-all category. In category 11, passive RFID tags are covered, implying that garments with integrated passive RFID need to be CE-labelled. Apart from causing huge obstacles to reach circularity and transparency in the textile value chains, the legislation appears inconsistent to what the European Commission highlights as important for implementing the Circular Economy Package; which is the need for information systems, innovative tracing technologies and strategies for information sharing.","PeriodicalId":447757,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Fashion Technology & Textile Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132718596","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}
