The study developed a cast shoe sole using a multi-material printing method with TPU (ThermoPlastic Polyurethane) and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). Each prototype's design was tailored based on individual body data, incorporating features like a 3D printed toe cover and a lock to enhance user convenience.

Participants reported that the prototype provided stability and improved cast protection. It was also positively evaluated for usability aspects like weight reduction, mobility, and comfort. 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 two-types of poly(ethylene terephthalate(PET) filament with a circular cross-section(SD), and an oval cross-section and curved surface(DT), and the conductive yarn was selected as a silver-coated polyamide(AP). 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. The findings are expected to contribute to future innovations and advancements in the field of 4D printing.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":555,"journal":{"name":"Fashion and Textiles","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://fashionandtextiles.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40691-025-00412-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143108013","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 large correlation coefficient (0.95) between the mannequin and clinical results confirms its ability to simulate the corrective effects of spinal bracing accurately. The proposed morphing mannequin provides valuable information for applying appropriate pressure to halt the progression of spinal curvature while maximizing the wear comfort for AIS patients.

The results showed that among nylon, PET, and cotton, nylon demonstrated the highest peel strength; however, overall, surface characteristics had a more significant impact on adhesion than fiber composition, and in terms of yarn type, fabrics made from staple fibers had higher peel strength than those made from filament yarns, which is probably due to the rougher surface of staple yarns enhancing adhesion. Regarding fabric structure, among woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics demonstrated the highest peel strength, confirming that the structure and density of the fabric play a crucial role in adhesion. It was also found conclusively that fabric surface roughness and porosity affect peel strength significantly, with rougher surfaces and higher porosity leading to increased adhesion. This is because rougher surfaces provide more area for adhesion, and higher porosity allows the molten 3D filament to penetrate more easily between the fibers, thereby improving adhesion.
