Abstract

It is well known that the electric field has great influence on the diameter and properties of fibers during melt-electrospinning. This study introduces the influences of three types of collectors on the electric field distribution. An auxiliary electrode ...

Abstract

Polyester/cotton blended fabrics have been extensively used in the textile industry. However, the dyeing process of polyester/ cotton blended fabrics is complex, and a large amount of water is consumed. To increase the dye uptake and dye fixation ratio, ...

Abstract

Residential fires are a significant risk factor threatening the health and security of occupants. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel fire-safety product to help occupants safely and quickly evacuate from fire. Residential fire-resistant ...

Abstract

In this study, polypropylene (PP) fibrous mats are modified by plasma treatment, following by chemical grafting. Initially, the as-prepared PP fibrous mats are treated by plasma at different oxygen (O₂) and argon (Ar) ratios. Then, the PP fibrous mats are ...

Abstract

Silk fibroin (SF)-based biocomposites have attracted considerable attention for several decades, due to excellent biocompatibility and mechanical toughness. However, insufficient hydrophilicity and mechanical brittleness limit its practical application, ...

Abstract

Vaccinium bracteatum Thumb. leaves have a variety of nutritional values and physiological functions, and are rich in useful resources. In this study, these leaves were used as a raw material to make vegetable dyes. Cotton fabric was then dyed with them by ...

Abstract

In this paper, one-dimensional rod-shaped nano zinc oxide (ZnO) and Ag-In co-doped ZnO complexes with different doping ratios were prepared by hydrothermal method with C₆H₁₂N₄, Zn(NO₃)₂·6(H₂O), AgNO₃, and In(NO₃)₃ as raw materials. The samples were ...

Abstract

To optimize the use of compression clothing to alleviate sports fatigue, this review discusses the current research status on clothing pressure and fatigue relief, and the principle of clothing pressure to relieve fatigue. In addition, research ...

Abstract

Thermal aging leads to a reduction in the tensile strength of fire protective fabrics, which increases the skin burn risks of the wearer. Standardized test methods are generally destructive. In this study, machine learning was applied to predict the ...

Abstract

Protein-polysaccharide scaffolds are usually used in tissue engineering; however, matching regeneration rate with healing modes is a challenge because of unpredictable scaffold degradation profiles. We investigated the effect of the blend ratio on ...

Abstract

The use of natural silk nanofibers (SNFs) in flexible materials has been widely studied in recent years. However, the reported preparation methods are not suitable for commercial consideration. We report a method for rapid preparation of silk nanofibers ...

Abstract

In this paper, two disperse dyes with different substituents were selected to dye polyester fabrics in decmethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) medium. The structures and dyeing performance of the two dyes were studied and compared. The results showed that dyes ...

Abstract

Thermal shrinkage of flame resistant fabrics can greatly affect the thermal protection of firefighters’ clothing. In this study, four boundary conditions were designed to simulate garment aperture structures. Thermal shrinkage was measured with and ...

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the compression on muscle recovery after sports. Four kinds of gradient pressure socks were randomly ordered into 24 groups. Each subject needed to complete six experiments of all. The experiment ...

Abstract

Wearable materials with thermal management and self-adaptive breathability have attracted increasing attention. In this study, nano-TiO₂/polyurethane (PU) membranes were prepared via casting. Properties of fabricated nano-TiO₂/ PU membranes were ...

Abstract

Researchers used nine woven electrothermal fabrics with different structures and silver-plated filament content. Electrothermal performance was tested and analyzed to select the fabric with the best thermal stability and heating performance for additional ...

Abstract

Natural dyestuffs are evaluated as green sources to color the fabric in the textile industry. In this study, tea natural dye extracted from Longjing tea was applied to dye cotton fabrics by different dyeing processes. The extraction process was ...

Abstract

Nanocellulose is a kind of renewable green material that comes mainly from plants. Nanocellulose aerogels have high porosity, excellent flexibility, and low thermal conductivity. They have broad application prospects in building insulation, sewage ...

Abstract

An intelligent recognition algorithm was developed to identify fibers in the cross sections of blended yarn containing meta-aramid 1313 (Nomex), poly(phenylene-1,3,4-oxadiazole) (POD), flame resistant viscose, and flame-resistant vinylon. The yarn cross ...
