• Incorporation of silica reduces flammability viscose fibres. Wash permanency can be improved by formation aluminium silicate. Dyeability aluminosilicate modified fibres remains unchanged. Silica residues remain during combustion and act as a barrier for oxygen. forms green approach to flame retardant textiles. Safety requirements led widespread use textile products with reduced flammability. ...

Fabric reinforced cementitious mortar (FRCM) materials have started to be employed during the last years with aim of overcoming drawbacks related use fibre polymer (FRP) composites, proving potentially suitable for strengthening masonry structures. Moreover, will develop able guarantee a certain degree sustainability without renouncing adequate mechanical properties has drawn attention basalt f...

The use of nanotechnology in the textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. The present status of nanotechnology use in textiles is reviewed, with an emphasis on improving various properties of textiles.

The article provides a short overview of the application metal nanoparticles in textile indus- try, describes their properties and application`s fields. definitions electrification, electrostatic field, electric charge density are given. processing fabrics by polyurethane dispersion technological processes materials finishing is justified. objects study cotton fabric`s samples with addition syn...

The recent challenge in textile supply chain management is the development of collaboration network which accommodates diverse concerns of various participants while explicitly recognizing interdependencies and promoting effective relationship management. This study is designed to suggest a collaboration network model for textile industry and apply it to establish a desirable framework for the ...

Abstract Optical fibres enable to design of new textile-based sensors for an unobtrusive, continuous, and long-term acquisition photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. However, no research has been done about the accuracy measuring blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) feasibility PPG-based pressure measurement. This proof-ofconcept study examined these aspects a woven sensing patch applied on forehead ...

A new model is proposed for the consolidation of hybrid textiles, in which air entrapment and dissolution are considered. One key parameters tow permeability, described by analytical Gebart validated at very high fibre volume fractions direct permeability measurement. The also takes into account presence fibres limiting gas diffusion molten polymer. Experimental validation then conducted with q...

Whereas entire houses are reported to be built by means of 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP), automated integration reinforcement is still a vastly unresolved challenge and - undoubtfully crucial requirement for widespread adoption 3DCP in construction practice. The disruptive technology opens up the chance overcome insufficiencies conventional steel its rationalised orthogonal use. This paper disclo...

During the past 15 years NASA has taken the lead role in exploiting the benefits of textile reinforced composite materials for application to aircraft structures. The NASA Advanced Composites Technology (ACT) program was started in 1989 to develop composite primary structures for commercial transport airplanes with costs that are competitive with metal structures. As part of this program, sever...

Two textile research projects (one completed and one ongoing) are described, where physical inspirational tools are developed and tested with the aim of stimulating textile creativity and invention, i.e. the use of textile materials in new kinds of products, thus bringing textiles into new contexts. The first research project (completed) concerns how textile designers use new responsive materia...
