The purpose of this study was to determine the stylization Batak and Malay batik motifs by developing shape a typical motif with process design. target research is create produce designs stylized conduct trials on fabrics that have been developed, so as textile products in form blend cloth between two tribes North Sumatra. method used development (R&D). model IDI (instructional, development...

OBJECTIVES Lung exposures including cigarette smoking and silica exposure are associated with the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We investigated the association between textile dust exposure and the risk of RA in the Malaysian population, with a focus on women who rarely smoke. METHODS Data from the Malaysian Epidemiological Investigation of Rheumatoid Arthritis population-based case-cont...

Indian textile industry occupies a unique position in the Indian economy. Over the period, it has gone through several changes. In the present paper, an attcmpt has been made to present an overview of Indian textile industry in terms of its structure, associated problems, its impact on environment, pollution control strategies, German ban on azo dyes, response of textile ministry to cope with t...

In general terms a fabric filter system consists of a porous flexible layer of textile material through which a dusty gas is passed to separate particles from the gas stream. Deposits on the textile are removed periodically by powerful moving and thereby cleaning of the cloth to maintain the pressure drop across the filter within practical operating limits. There are several methods to make the...

Unit cell homogenization techniques are applied on multiple length scales to compute the macroscopic hyperelastic stiffness characteristics of textile-reinforced polymer matrix composites. On the smallest scale (~50μm) the effective transversely isotropic properties of tows (or yarns) are computed based on both fiber and matrix properties. These position-dependent transversely isotropic effecti...

Color is defined as “ the sensation experienced or caused by light reflected from or transmitted through objects”. In the strict sense, we cannot directly measure perceived color, however we can measure and subsequently calculate certain factors which are responsible for producing this sensation of color. The quantification of the color properties of textile materials is of great economic value...

This paper describes the benefits of and issues in designing and building an integrated, body-worn electronic textile (e-textile) system capable of assessing a suite of biomechanical measures. Unlike laboratorybased systems, this system would be worn by a soldier and could be used in a range of environmental conditions. A prototype e-textile developed at Virginia Tech has already shown promisin...

We report the nanomorphology-driven two-stage hole mobility in the blend films of regioregular and regiorandom poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) polymers of which regioregularity was 92.2% and 33.0%, respectively. The hole mobility of blend films was measured by employing a top-contact type organic field-effect transistor which has an aromatic polyimide gate insulating layer and silver source/drain...

Haptic Modeling of textile has attracted significant interest over the last decade. In spite of extensive research, no generic system has yet been proposed. The majority of the haptic models developed in the previous work assume a 2D mesh model for the textile which does not represent the real geometric configuration of the textile. In addition, they are based on empirical parameters obtained f...
