      The physicochemical properties of Calcium Phosphate Cement (CPC) were improved by adding in silk fibroin of varied character. The structure of the materials was investigated by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The surface morphology was observed by Scanning Electron Microscope. The porosity of the material was measured by drainage method. The mechanical properties were tested by Instron Universal Testing Machine. The results showed that the products of hardening reaction of CPC with silk fibroin of varied character added were similar to those of pure CPC as hydroxyapatite was produced in both reactions. Silk fibroin of varied character significantly improved the flexural strength of CPC. The character of the silk fibroin had distinct effects on the work-of-fracture, the work-of-fracture of CPC with silk fibers increased significantly, which was 7~21.8 times of that of pure CPC. The character of the silk fibroin had no significant effects on the structure of the materials, but the porosity decreased.

      As to the existence of water in atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) treatment, the influence of environmental moisture on the effects of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of hydrophobic fiber was investigated. Ultrahigh modulus polyethylene fibers (UHMPE) fibers were treated using atmospheric pressure plasma in three different relative humidity levels, namely 5, 65% and 95%. The static contact angle and the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of the control and the treated fibers were measured. The morphological and chemical changes on the fiber surface were characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectra (XPS) respectively. After the plasma treatments, the surface roughness, the number of oxygen containing groups and IFSS increased while the water contact angle decreased and the tenacity din not change. The contact angle and IFSS did not obviously decrease and increase as the environmental moisture content increased. It was demonstrated that the moisture in the APP environment did not have a significant influence on effects of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of hydrophobic fiber.

      Nanoscale titanium dioxide (TiO2) functional films were prepared on the surface of nonwoven polyester fabric at room temperature by DC reactive magnetron sputtering process. The surface morphology and the structural properties of TiO2 films deposited under different sputtering powers were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and atomic Force Microscope. The deposition rate and photocatalytic properties of the fabrics with TiO2 films prepared under different sputtering powers analyzed. The test results showed that the deposition rate and sputtering efficiency increased with increasing sputtering powers within a proper range, although it had little influence on the chemical structure of coated film. Furthermore, the sputtering powers increased led to the uniformity and compactness increasing of TiO2 films. The potocatalytic activity of the polyester nonwoven fabric with TiO2 films were enhanced by increasing the sputtering powers. But overhigh sputtering power led to overheating of target, not only decrease the deposition rate and the uniformity of TiO2 films, also damage the target.

      In the spinning process of pneumatic compact spinning with lattice apron, the existence of a wrap twisting phenomenon has been approved via high-speed photography technology. The additional twists in the fiber strand in the condensing zone, which are considered to be real twists, are also approved to exist through yarn spinning experiment. Based on these results, a ‘semi-open-end twist insertion’ model is proposed. The model can well explain the formation mechanism of the additional twists in the fiber strand in the condensing zone of the pneumatic compact spinning and enriches the yarn spinning theory.

      In this paper, taking the pure cotton pure yarn for example, a method based on digital image processing for yarn fineness visual measurement was proposed. The yarn image captured with video microscope was treated sequentially with 2-D adaptive Wiener filtering, segmentation using 2-D maximum entropy algorithm optimized with genetic algorithm, and morphology operation. Then, the yarn diameter and fineness are calculated from the clear and complete binary image after the above operations. The test data extracted from the yarn images that are taken as carriers can describe the yarn diameter and fineness more intuitively. Furthermore,when the fineness of the sample can not be measured by standard skein method, the sufficient fineness information still can be provide by splitting a certain number of yarns from the sample and carrying out the proposed method The experimental results indicate that the method for measurement the yarn diameter and fineness based on image processing and data analysis is feasible.

      In order to know the drapability of seamed knitted fabrics, four representative samples were selected. Influence of seam type and seam direction on the drape behavior of knitted fabrics was investigated through experiment. The results show that seamed knitted fabrics have greater drape coefficient, less number of folds, stable minimum amplitude of folds, and higher maximum amplitude of folds and poor uniformity of the distribution of folds. A comparison of seam types and the drape coefficients of fabrics show that drape coefficient for samples with overlock and flat-lock stitch type together is higher than for samples with overlock alone. Seam type and seam direction both have significant effect on thin knitted fabrics, however, only seam direction has significant influence on drape coefficient for thick fabrics, and the influence of seam type is insignificant.

      Thermal radiation makes a great contribution to heat transfer within protective fabrics under high temperature conditions. The thermal attenuation within the high-temperature fabric is investigated under high flux conditions in the present study. A numerical model analysis of thermal protective fabric is given by using one-dimensional finite differential technique. The governing heat transfer equations are solved numerically and effective thermal conductivity is calculated from the steady-state results. Predicted results are in good agreement with experimental data and the results are helpful to the optimum design of thermal protective fabrics and thermal protection system (TPS).

      Rutile and anatase TiO2 and its poly(butyl acrylate) composites latexes were used to finish cotton fabric. The aging resistance, ultraviolet resistance and sterilization properties of finished cotton fabric under UV-irradiation were measured, in order to understand the response mechanism of different crystal TiO2 particles to UV-irradiation and its effect on the performances of finished cotton fabric. It was found that, rutile TiO2 finished cotton fabric exhibits excellent ultraviolet resistance, outstanding aging resistance and bad sterilization properties attributing to the strong optical absorption and diffuse scattering of rutile TiO2 particles, while anatase TiO2 finished cotton fabric excellent ultraviolet resistance, outstanding sterilization and accelerated aging properties attributing to the strong photocatalytic effect of anatase TiO2 particles. The strong photocatalytic effect under UV-irradiation can induce many strong oxidizing free radicals, which can effectively kill bacteria and simultaneously break the molecular chain of fiber inevitably. Thus, the crystal of TiO2 and its negative effects should be careful considered during function finishing of fabric.

      Abstract Based on the analysis of the electromagnetic shielding clothing for pregnant women, the anti-electromagnetic property of two electromagnetic shielding vests for pregnant women are tested through specific experiment. According to the actual testing conditions, a simulation model is established by the three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation software Ansoft HFSS to obtain the shielding effectiveness (SE) of clothing. The effects of changes in body shape for pregnant women during pregnancy on the anti-electromagnetic property of clothing are analyzed through the simulation model. The results show that the simulation results are basically identical with the actual measurement results, and the model of testing clothing can be applied for the researches on the protective function for electromagnetic radiation. The study also shows that the changes in body shape for pregnant women will directly cause the increase of bottom opening, and then the anti-electromagnetic property of clothing shows a downtrend. When the bottom opening of clothing increases to a certain degree, the SE values of clothing under the irradiation of electromagnetic waves at different frequencies are very small, that is to say the protective clothing has no function to protect pregnant women from electromagnetic radiation.

      To improve the intelligent analysis and design technology of warp knitting jacquard fabric, a new way of texture segmentation and contour extraction based on wavelet-transform and canny operator is proposed in this paper. Firstly making use of the wavelet-transform which has the ability of orientation and multiresolution, the algorithm decomposes the low frequency part of the fabric image in a way of pyramid-structure. Secondly from the biggest level after decomposition, the image is automatic clustered and segmented with the information at the next level. Lastly the texture’s contour of image is traced and extracted through the method of canny operator. The results show that this algorithm is a feasible way for jacquard fabric, and it supplies a theoretical platform for subsequent research.

      Virtual garment simulation and display involves a combination of a large range of techniques, including modeling techniques, numerical methods, collision detection and user interface techniques. From the late 1980s, the virtual clothing simulation techniques have developed from early fabric draping to complex haute couture garments. Simulation of the complex cloth deformation and fashion garments can only be reached through an optimal combination of modeling techniques and numerical methods. There is, however, no universal solution for integrating the equations of a mechanical model of cloth. In this paper, the history of the visualization for the fabric deformation and the display for the virtual clothing are introduced respectively. Furthermore, the key issues of three-dimensional virtual clothing display, such as challenges, research hotspot and trends, are discussed.
