The Stability

Cellulase was immobilized by cross-linked enzyme aggregation to improve the stability of cellulase. The prepared cross-linked cellulase aggregates (CLCAs) and ice silicone oil were used for the cool finishing of cotton fabric. The results showed that the CLCAs extended the cellulase stability compared to free cellulase. The surface softness, smoothness, moisture permeability, and air permeability of the cotton fabric increased after CLCAs and ice silicone oil treatment. Shearing rigidity of the treated sample was 0.44 cN/(cm·deg), bending rigidity was 0.0069 cN cm, and the drape coefficient was 29.3%. Coefficient of kinetic friction of the treated sample was 0.186. The capillary effect of the treated fabric was 12.1 cm/(30 min). Air permeability was 354.3 L/(m2·s). Moisture penetrability was 3.912 g/(m2·d). The thermal and water-vapor resistance were 0.0194 m2·°C/W and 4.691 Pa·m2/W, respectively.

Fabric Comfort

The smart control of cotton fabric comfort by cross-linking thermo-responsive random copolymer is investigated. The monomers 2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxyethyl methacrylate (MEO2MA) and ethylene glycol methacrylate (EGMA) with a molar ratio of 17:3 are selected to synthesize the thermo-responsive random copolymer poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxyethyl methacrylate- co-ethylene glycol methacrylate), abbreviated as P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA). By using citric acid as a cross-linking agent, the obtained P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA) is successfully immobilized onto cotton fabrics. Smart control is achieved from the thermo-responsive behavior of the copolymer. Cross-linked P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA) will collapse when the ambient temperature exceeds its transition temperature. Therefore, the formerly compact P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA) layer will switch to a porous structure, and the air/moisture permeability of the textiles is enhanced. As the comfort of the textiles is closely related to the air/moisture permeability, a smart control of the cotton fabric comfort can be realized. In addition, the softness of cotton fabrics with and without thermo-responsive polymers does not show a prominent change, even when the applied solution concentration is as high as 16% (wt%). On the contrary, the stiffness of the cotton fabric coated with poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is significantly higher than the original cotton fabric, indicating that homo PNIPAM is less suitable for textiles used in daily lives. Moreover, the whiteness and mechanical properties are studied and stay unchanged after cross-linking. As a consequence, the introduction of P(MEO2MA- co-EGMA) into textiles can provide textiles with smart control of cotton comfort, and it will not influence the wearabilities of the textiles.

Ultraviolet Aging

Aging of plastics occurs in use, it makes the performance degrade, and losing use value finally. In order to compare ultraviolet aging with thermal aging, we carry out a pilot study on the performance changes of PE film. The results demonstrated that the tensile property became lower under two aging methods, the tensile property during the thermal aging decreased by 6.07% but it was 15.08% in the ultraviolet aging at 120h, obviously the effects of the ultraviolet aging on the tensile strength were more significant, it declined faster. The air permeability curves were on the rise under the two aging methods, the results demonstrated that the effect of the ultraviolet aging on the air permeability rose slightly more than the thermal aging. The moisture permeability curves decreased firstly and then increased, but the values of the ultraviolet aging were higher.

Drying Properties

Engineered yarns are used to provide better clothing comfort for summer garments because of their high levels of moisture and water vapor management. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of knitted structures that were produced using different types of polyester yarns in order to achieve better thermal comfort properties for summer clothing. However they are relatively expensive. Therefore, in this study engineered polyester yarns were combined with cotton and lyocell yarns by plying. This way, the pronounced characteristics of these yarns were added to the knitted structure as well. Channeled polyester, hollow polyester, channeled/hollow blended polyester, cotton, and lyocell yarns were plied with each other and themselves. Then, single jersey structures were knitted using these ply yarn combinations and air permeability, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity, water vapor permeability, moisture management, and drying properties were tested. The results indicate that channeled PES fabrics are advantageous for hot climates and high physical activities with regards to high permeability and moisture transfer and also to fast drying properties. Besides, air permeability and thermal properties improved through the combination of lyocell yarn with engineered polyester yarns. However, the use of lyocell or cotton with engineered yarns resulted in a to a decrease in moisture management properties and an increase in drying times

Abstract Seat upholstery fabrics for vehicles are crucial products as technical textiles in motor vehicles make up approximately 15% of the total manufactured technical textiles worldwide and more than 50% of the production belongs to the woven fabrics because of their appropriate properties for this application. The current work presents the comfort-related properties of the woven fabrics designed to be used in automotive seat upholstery. For this aim, double-layered woven fabrics were produced with four different process variables such as bottom layer pattern, number of interlacing warps in a unit report, number of interlacing picks per top warp, and number of weft skips by using Taguchi experimental design. Besides handle related properties, such as circular bending rigidity, surface roughness properties, and thermo physiological comfort related properties that include air permeability, thermal resistance, and moisture management properties were measured and analyzed based on Taguchi experimental analysis.
