In this study, a dummy of the lower half of the human body was developed. The dummy was produced using a soft material and integrated with a kinematic function (hereinafter, referred to as “kinematic soft dummy”). The kinematic soft dummy was expected to reproduce the distribution of clothing pressure observed on test persons after placing a garment on it. A tool of this type could be applied to evaluate the motion adaptability of garments. In particular, it could be useful to fashion designers, textile makers, and pattern makers for always integrating their perception of motion adaptability into the design, development, and production stages, respectively. It could also enable customers to know the assessment results of the motion adaptability of a garment when they shop online, which is very useful for reducing the high return rate caused by unmet expectations. For the design and development of a dummy suitable for measuring clothing pressure, four important functions should be implemented: (1) Accurate replication of the body proportions and dimensions of a test person model; this not only offers high accuracy to the result of clothing pressure but also universalizes the result to be comparable. Such a dummy is called an anthropomorphic dummy.

The skin is located in the outermost of the body, and it serves as the boundary between the lateral side and inside. Therefore, the skin protects and helps keep humans healthy by guarding the whole body against external mechanical stress, maintaining body fluid balance, regulating body temperature, and sensing organs and immune functions. Protection against external mechanical stress is done by the reversible deformation mechanism in response to mechanical stimuli such as stretching and compression stress [2]. This mechanism is performed by skin elasticity. The skin can be stretched way above its original size. It can return to its original size, maintaining its original physical properties after being stretched [3‒5]. The elasticity of the skin is an important factor in normal joint movement. Therefore, reduced elasticity and extensibility of the skin under pathological conditions is likely to result in limited range of motion.

It is often regarded as a more important property than tensile strength, particularly with regard to ships, fisheries, and civil engineering [1]. Polypropylene (PP) monofilament, that is, a thick single fiber, is commonly used for these applications because it is highly flexible. The tensile strength of PP fibers has increased recently, but their knot-pull strength has barely increased. This sluggish increase in the knot-pull strength has now become a critical problem. The sluggish increase may be attributed to the complex breakage of knotted fibers. For example, the draw ratio at which the knot-pull strength reached a maximum is often lower than the draw ratio of the tensile strength maximum [2-4]. This indicates that a knotted fiber is not only broken by the tensile force but also by other forces, such as bending, compressional, twisting, shearing, and frictional forces applied to the knotted fiber [5, 6]. Yamaki explained the knot breakage mainly by the tensile force under the influence of radial compressional force [1], Pieranski et al. explained the knot breakage with computer simulations mainly by the bending force [7], and Uehara et al. interpreted the influence of twisting force on breakage [8]. Because the mechanism by which knotted fiber breaks is complex, the fiber breaking behavior also varies depending on the crosssectional shape of the fiber or fiber bundle, the material, and the operating environment. The location of the fiber breakage varies, for example, most knotted fibers tend to break in the vicinity of the knot entrance [9], but fibers also break within the knot [3]. There have been many other studies on the breaking mechanism of knotted fibers. Konda et al. [10, 11] investigated the knot breaking mechanism using tensile stress‒strain curves. They ignored the shearing and lateral compressional forces and assumed that the fiber breaks according to the sum of the tensile and bending strains. Yabe suggested that a knotted fiber is broken by the weakest of three 【Transaction】","PeriodicalId":54299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fiber Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47691666","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 mechanism was assumed to be similar to the electrostatic interaction between a natural blood anticoagulant sulfated polysaccharide heparin and a protease inhibitor antithrombin III. In addition, the anti-HIV mechanism of curdlan sulfate was quantitatively investigated using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measured with oligopeptides from three regions in HIV gp120, V3 loop, C-terminus, and CD4 binding domain. These studies revealed the interaction between oligopeptides of the V3 loop and C-terminus bearing positively charged amino acid accumulated regions in each sequence. These results indicated that the anti-HIV activity of sulfated polysaccharides involves electrostatic interactions. It was reported that a long-chain alkyl group in sulfated alkyl oligosaccharides plays a key role in the enhancement of anti-HIV activity. The interaction between sulfated alkyl poly- and oligosaccharides and liposomes as a model of HIV was also discussed by SPR and DLS measurements, suggesting that the long-chain alkyl group penetrated into the lipid bilayer of HIV, and then sulfated poly- and oligosaccharide portions electrostatically interacted with HIV gp120 to produce potent anti-HIV activity. 3- O octadecyl dextran.

The UV-ES method makes sure the polymerization (i. e., gelation) proceeds simultaneously with the spinning process through employing an UV irradiator between the nozzle and the target (fiber collector). The fiber manufacturing via UV-ES succeeded for both polymer gels of poly(N, N-dimethylacrylamide) (G(DMAA)) and poly(DMAA-stearyl acrylate-dodecyl acrylate) (G(DMAA-SA-DA)). It is found that the viscosity of gel reactions influences the fiber diameter greatly. Higher viscosity generally tends to result in an increase in diameter of fibers regardless of the electric field intensity. Depending on the spinning conditions, G(DMAA) fibers with a diameter ranging 2 nm ~ 5.5 µ m, and G(DMAA-SA-DA) fibers with a diameter ranging 30~100 µ m are produced. The FTIR measurement for the resultant G(DMAA) and G(DMAA-SA-DA) fibers illustrates the polymerization essentially completed while spinning the fibers. This study highlights the potential possibilities of the UV-ES method in practical fiber-manufacturing applications for polymer gels.","PeriodicalId":54299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fiber Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48639348","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}

After the treatment, the crosssectioned hair samples were dyed with methylene blue and the cross-sectional intensity spectra were measured at a wavelength of 664 nm (λmax of methylene blue) with a microspectrophotometer. The three different diffusion patterns from the three reducing agents (TG, TL, and CYS) were obtained. The diffusion pattern of TL, which appeared as a sharp boundary line by using an optical microscope showed a combination of Fickian (TG) and Non-Fickian (CYS) types. Also, the diffusion pattern of thioglycerol (TGR), cysteamine hydrochloride, butyrolactonethiol, and glyceryl monothioglycolate, which don’t have any carboxyl group in their molecule showed Fickian type characteristics. In addition, it was found that the different alkali agents influenced the diffusion behavior of TGR and TG into virgin white human hair, and especially the waving efficiency of the waved hair treated with TGR. From these experiments, it has been concluded that the diffusion patterns of the reducing agents depended on the electrostatic interaction between the human hair and the reducing agents, and the chemical structure of the reducing agents.
