A superhydrophobic surface is coated on the surface of a cloth by MTCS (methyltrichlorosilane) nanoparticles and then, it is modified by SiO2–m–FTCS (1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorododecyltrichlorosilane) nanoparticles. This surface is characterized by SEM(scanning electron microscopy), and FT-IR (Fourier transform-infrared microscopy) and also its contact angle is investigated in various conditions and ...

Scholars have long recognised the important role bark cloth plays in articulating status in Polynesian societies. In life (and death), Polynesian chiefs were traditionally presented (or shrouded) with copious quantities of bark cloth, the precise number of strips contingent on status. The considerable economic expenditure required to produce such large quantities reflects the significance of th...

Photo-reproductive processes for copying architectural and engineering drawings first became common in the 1880s with the introduction of the blueprint. While processes on paper have become increasingly identifiable in recent years, those on cloth remain less familiar. Tracing cloth is a plain woven, heavily sized fabric used as a durable and translucent support for ink tracings. Because of its...

Woven cloth can commonly be seen in daily life and also in animation. Unless prevented in some way, woven cloth usually frays at the edges. However, in computer graphics, woven cloth is typically modeled as a continuum sheet, which is not suitable for representing frays. This paper proposes a model that allows yarn movement and slippage during cloth tearing. Drawing upon techniques from textile...

By means of first principles calculations we show that both rutile and anatase phases of bulk TiO2 doped by S, Se or Pb can display substantial decreasing in the band gap (up to 50%), while doping by Zr does not sizably affect the band-gap value. Moreover, the absorption edge is shifted (up to 1 eV) to the lower energy range in the case of TiO2 doped by S or Pb that opens a way to enhancin...

In this paper we present a very fast method for body-cloth animation. The usual bottle-neck in cloth simulation performance is collision detection, which becomes more difficult to solve when a complex geometry, like a human body, is involved. Recent image based methods, that use depth images to detect collisions, usually relays on CPU for collision correction. In our work we implement a GPU bas...

Cloth has traditionally been simulated on a static mesh composed of a uniform grid of nodes. Since a coarse mesh cannot generally capture fine wrinkles, realistic cloth simulation relies on a fine grid of nodes that is expensive to simulate. However, fine wrinkles are often localized to relatively small portions of a mesh. We introduce an adaptive method that locally refines cloth where wrinkle...
