Specifically, it investigates how BT can reduce uncertainty and enhance transparency in second-hand luxury transactions based on a mental accounting theory approach. A partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis (N = 511) was conducted, focusing on consumers’ perceived quality of traceable information obtained through BT (i.e., product diagnosticity, informativeness, and trustworthiness) and their perceived risks in second-hand luxury online shopping (i.e., financial risk, social risk, time risk, contamination risk, performance risk). The findings confirm that the perceived quality of traceable information enhances blockchain transparency, reducing uncertainty in online second-hand luxury shopping. This leads consumers to perceive BT-enabled platforms as valuable, increasing their intention to adopt them. The study also examines the moderating effect of price consciousness on consumer perceptions of BT and decision-making. The results of the multi-group analysis confirm that consumers with lower price consciousness are more influenced by the diagnosticity provided by BT in terms of product transparency, while for consumers with higher price consciousness, trustworthiness emerges as a more significant factor. This research offers insights into the application of blockchain technology in the second-hand luxury market, particularly in enhancing transparency and consumer trust. It emphasizes the importance of retail strategies that communicate the advantages of BT and alleviate consumer risks associated with the online second-hand luxury market while recognizing consumers' varying levels of price consciousness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":555,"journal":{"name":"Fashion and Textiles","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://fashionandtextiles.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40691-025-00420-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143840287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these challenges, this study investigates the potential of ultraviolet (UV) light treatment in textile finishing as a method to enhance functional properties. Cotton fabrics treated with chestnut shell extract—recognized for its bioactive compounds—were subjected to UV irradiation for predetermined periods to induce curing effects. The treated fabrics were then evaluated for color intensity, surface morphology, and functional properties. Results revealed that UV exposure significantly enhanced both color intensity and functional properties, including antibacterial and antioxidant capabilities. Optimal results were achieved after 40 min of UV irradiation, beyond which improvements plateaued.

Regarding aesthetic satisfaction, the custom-made design received high ratings. In response to the feedback, the final prototype incorporated various improvements to enhance comfort and aesthetics. The prototype cast shoe also considered elements like ventilation, weight reduction, and shortened production time, achieved by including specific patterns in its upper part.

However, there has been limited investigation into the evaluation of sports bras specifically designed for senior females. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify key multi-criteria for evaluating the design attributes of sports bras for senior women. Another aim was to systematically and numerically assess sports bra performance based on human perceptions. To achieve these objectives, the Delphi study was employed to identify key criteria, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process was utilized to rank the importance of both design attributes and sports bra styles. Unlike traditional evaluation methods, this study stands out by first identifying the multi-dimensional criteria for sports bras and then assessing intangible perceptions based on both subjective and objective feedback. The results indicate that the top three important criteria for subjective self-evaluation were overall support, shaping effect, and tactile sensation. Meanwhile, the top criteria for objective third-party evaluation were appearance, underband stability, and fit. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the long-shirt encapsulation-style sports bra, featuring a high neckline and a double back layer, was more suitable for senior women than the other three styles tested. This design provides ample support, an excellent shaping effect, sufficient back support for maintaining good posture, and freedom of movement during physical activities. These findings can inspire designers and manufacturers to develop sports bras tailored specifically for senior women by combining optimal attributes and design features.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":555,"journal":{"name":"Fashion and Textiles","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://fashionandtextiles.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40691-025-00413-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143533111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples were produced two-ply PET yarn as the first twist, then using AP as the second twist, and both processes were applied with 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 TPM. As the number of twists increased, the packing density of samples increased, and the bulkiness of DT was decreased. In addition, the elongation at break tended to increase as the number of twists increased, especially for samples manufactured with DT with a curved surface appeared larger. The linear resistance results increased as the number of second twists in which the conductive yarn was twisted increased. It was confirmed that the area of AP exposed to the outside was more prominent in SD-AP, resulting in decreased linear resistance. Based on the results, samples that have the excellent mechanical and electrical performance were selected to manufacture textile-type electrodes that embedded leg sleeves to measure the surface electromyography(sEMG) signal collection performance. The signal-to-noise ratios(SNR) of textile-type electrode manufactured by SD - AP and DT - AP were 4.54 and 14.96, respectively, confirming the possibility of collecting EMG signals.

This article highlights key SMP fabrication technologies for 4D printing, focusing on the functionality of stimuli-responsive polymers. Bio-based thermoplastic polyurethanes are produced through the prepolymer polymerization method, with 100% bio-based polyester polyols, polypropylene succinate, and 1,3-propanediol by corn sugar. The resulting SMTPU, which contains bio-polyol in the soft segment, along with a chain extender and isocyanate (4,4-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, MDI), demonstrates excellent shape recoverability even after significant deformation. Atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were employed to analyze hydrogen bonding, microphase separation, and crystallinity, providing insights into the interactions between hard segments (HSs) and soft segments (SSs), an extent of phase separation, and a proportion of hydrogen-bonded urethane groups. The tensile strength of 15–21 MPa, elongation between 534 and 585%, and a hardness of 82–85 Shore A were shown. This study further explores the sustainability and unique properties of SMTPU, making it well-suited for shape memory applications at different temperatures with varying hard segment content.
