Dynamic stab resistance of multi-ply three-dimensional warp interlock fabrics with high-performance high-molecular-weight polyethylene yarns for protective applications J. Ind. Text. (IF 2.01) Pub Date : 2020-10-22 Mengru Li; Peng Wang; François Boussu; Damien Soulat
Fabrics constructed from 3 D warp interlock fabrics (3DWIFs) structures provide varying flexibility and durability and are promising structures for protective applications. However, its performance toward stab resistance from knife attack should be investigated before applying. In this work, the influences of fabric architectures, ply orientation of stacking sequences, and the number of fabric plies

Study of the potential use of the invasive marine algae Undaria pinnatifida in the preliminary development of a functional textile J. Ind. Text. (IF 2.01) Pub Date : 2020-10-22 Maria Alejandra Martinez; Maria Eugenia Becherucci
Seaweeds are considered to be an important source of relevant chemical substances or bioactive compounds of great usefulness in the medical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food industry. Recently, some seaweed had been used to produce or incorporate in fibers in order to manufacture technical textiles in which functional ingredient of the seaweed are exploited in the health and body care area. The brown

Influence of orthopedic support structure and construction on compression and behavior during stress relaxation J. Ind. Text. (IF 2.01) Pub Date : 2020-10-20 D Mikucioniene; L Muraliene
This work was focused on changes of the compression generated by knitted orthopedic supports during the stress relaxation in order to find in which period of the stress relaxation the most significant part of the compression is lost. The influence of knitted structure, elastomeric inlay-yarn insertion density and shape/orientation of the rigid element fixed on the fabric on the compression and its

A facile approach to prepare a flexible and durable electrically driven cotton fabric-based heater J. Ind. Text. (IF 2.01) Pub Date : 2020-10-19 Zhaoqun Du; Zhiliang Chen; Jiaying Xu; Dongming Zheng; Haochen Zou; Jinkang Liu; Mingxing Wang
Flexible and durable electrically driven heaters (EDHs) was prepared by using silver nanowire/polydopamine modified cotton fabric (AgNW/PDA-C) as Joule heat generator and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as stretchable matrix.The electric property of the EDHs was investigated, and it can show excellent electrical property and stability. The EDHs can be seen from the SEM morphology that cotton fabric was

Similarity criteria for canopy porosity and environmental impact analysis of air permeability J. Ind. Text. (IF 2.01) Pub Date : 2020-10-13 Siyu Zhang; Li Yu; He Jia; Xiaoshun Zhao
The porosity is one of the important properties of canopy fabric, which affects the stability, aerodynamic performance and inflation performance of parachutes. The similarity criteria for canopy porosity were presented on the principle of similarity analysis. The Ergun theory of porous medium was introduced to establish the model of air permeability and differential pressure between canopies fully

Development of alkali-treated surface-modified coir fibre filter for 1µm to 10 µm particle filtration and process optimization J. Ind. Text. (IF 2.01) Pub Date : 2020-10-12 N Gobi; R Aarthi; A Farzin; R Pazhanishankar; G Monnisha
Filtration of Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 and PM 10 particles are focused by the filters used in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Synthetic fibres/filaments are widely used to construct the filters for air conditioning filters and cleanroom filters which is not biodegradable. Natural fibres are easily biodegradable, exhibit better filtration characteristics as like synthetic

Enhancing biocompatibility of PCL/PU nano-structures to control the water wettability by NaOH hydrolysis treatment for tissue engineering applications J. Ind. Text. (IF 2.01) Pub Date : 2020-10-12 Nafiseh Jirofti; Davod Mohebbi-Kalhori; Ramin Masoumi
Nano-structures due to their unique properties can provide a biomimetic structure for cell attachment and proliferation in tissue engineering (TE) applications. But sometimes, their surface properties are not particularly suitable for directed tissue growth. In this regard, present study has focused on fabrication and hydrolysis of Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/Polyurethane (PU) by aqueous sodium hydroxide
