This research aims to analyze the environmental impact of six fibers in textile industry: conventional and organic cotton, silk, jute, flax, polyester. The study used a life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology with cradle-to-gate system boundary analyzed stages agriculture, spinning, weaving, dyeing. In agriculture production, five categories (i.e., fossil resource scarcity, global warming, land...

After doing research on fiber image with low quality and the Grey prediction model, the Grey correlation degree, directed graph and existing edge detection algorithm is addressed and this article proposed a new edge detection algorithm to obtain complete and continuous edge and to improve the defects in traditional operators profiled fiber contour extraction, such as the discontinuous edge, the...

1) After warm opening remarks, the Chair invited Mr. Alois Schönberger, Chair of the Private Sector Advisory Panel (PSAP) to deliver the report of the PSAP to the Plenary Meeting. Mr. Schönberger noted that the reserve policy of the Government of China has many impacts on the world cotton market: prices remain above average even though stocks are record high; prices of cotton are above those of...

Bast fibers, such as ramie, hemp, flax and kenaf, are natural fibers with high specific stiffness strength that have gained increasing attention in recent years. advantageous terms of their biodegradability abundance nature, making them promising candidates for automotive industry, structural composites, pulping textile applications etc. There is a strong desire from industry yielding cellulose...

Thickening compositions of a new composition for printing mixed fabrics based on cotton and nitron fibers have been developed. The influence the components dampening rheological properties depending their concentration was studied. Established development thickening its physico-chemical properties.

In the context of sustainable development which is a balancing act between the fulfilment of human needs and the protection of the natural environment, the use of natural fibers such as coir in geotechnical applications is desirable. Reinforcing the soil with coir fibers/coir geotextiles is a cost effective solution to the ground/soil improvement problems. The effects of fiber parameters on the...
