In order to study the sound absorbing properties of activated carbon fiber, viscose-based activated carbon fiber felt with different specifications are prepared in the same condition, and the sound absorbing properties of porous materials are tested by employing the transfer function method in the 250-1600Hz middle and low frequencies acoustic range. Thereafter, the impact of such parameters as specific surface area, thickness, density and thickness of airspace on back on sound absorbing properties is analyzed. The result shows that porous materials like activated carbon fiber felt have better sound absorbing properties, sound absorbing properties in middle frequency are superior to those in low frequency; moreover, as specific surface area, thickness, density and thickness of airspace on back increase, sound absorbing properties improve ,but the average sound absorbing coefficient show different degrees of increase. The research can serve as reference for enterprises when developing sound absorbing materials like activated carbon fiber.

In this research, the effect of light excitation conditions on the afterglow and thermoluminescent performance of luminescent polyester fiber have been studied. The afterglow decay laws and thermoluminescent characteristics of the fiber were measured by afterglow tester and TL dosimeter. The results indicated that light excitation conditions had impacts on the initial intensity and decay time of the fiber, which had not showed linear change yet. The higher the excitation intensity is, the faster the decay speed is and the shorter the decay time attaining to the same luminescent illumination is. Increasing the excitation time did not prolong the decay time of materials. The light excitation conditions did not change the trap level depth of SrAl204：Eu2+，Dy3, but increase the electronic concentration of the trap level obviously.The greater the excitation intensity and the longer the excitation time are, the higher the relative intensity of thermoluminescent peak is.

Quality control for feather and down depends mainly on the category and peculiar smell of feather and down. To establish a quick and exact identification for the feather and down category, Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy technology was employed for goose feather and duck feather, goose down and ducks down. Though analyzing the near-infrared diffuse reflection spectrum, the recognition model of feather and down category was set up. At the same time, extracts from the different feather and down were measured by using the Gas chromatography-mass (GC-MS) spectroscopy analysis. The NIR results have shown that the mean spectrum of goose down and duck down was in the 4000 to 12000 cm-1 NIR range, particularly in 8700–8100 cm-1, 7500–6000 cm-1 and 5600–6000 cm-1 region. The similar reflectance further clarified that the downs include the common major chemical components, such as proteins. By normalized and second-derivative treatments, three-D principal component score plot demonstrated that all four feather and down were distinguished because of their chemical and structural difference. These results suggested the feasibility of using near infrared spectroscopy for the identification of the feather and down category. In addition, GC-MS detection indicated that Carboxylic acids and Lactones are main components in the extracts. These data might be helpful to analyze and identify some volatile odor components. This study might provide some new clues for further investigation about down odor ingredients and gas sensor's selection.

TiO2 photocatalysts doped with different metal ions were prepared by adsorption phase synthesis. Then, photodegradation experiments of methyl-orange were employed to evaluate the influence of different metal ions and different ion quantities on the activity of these photocatalysts. The results from TEM and UV-visible spectra showed that metal ions doping affected little the morphology and light absorbance of TiO2. XRD indicated that the replacement of Ti4+ in TiO2 lattice structure by other metal ions restricted the crystallization of TiO2. The restriction on the crystallization became stronger, when ions radius was close to Ti4+ or quantities of doping ions increased. The results in photodegradation experiments suggested that there was an optimum dopant quantities appeared during preparation of TiO2 doped with Cd2+ and Fe3+. Due to various ion radiuses, the optimum dopant quantities of Cd2+ and Fe3+ were also different. Co2+ doping under low quantities influenced little on the activity of photocatalysts. The activity of photocatalysts was obviously depressed after doping by metal ions under high quantities, since the photo-induced carriers would annihilate easily.

This paper used chloro acetic acid to treat Seacell active fibers. Carboxymethylated Seacell active fibers with high absorbency were obtained by reacting the hydroxyl groups in the fibers with chloro acetic acid. The swelling ratios, silver releasing properties and antimicrobial properties of the fibers before and after treatment were studied. Experimental results showed that the carboxymethylation treatment can effectively increase the absorbency and gelling performances of the fibers., with the swelling ratio for the treated fibers more than 10 times that of the untreated fibers. Because the fibers after the carboxymethylation treatment swell greatly when in contact with water, silver ions in the fibers can be released more easily. Experimental results showed that the modified fibers have better antimicrobial performances than the untreated fibers.

To figure out ATY’s stretching characters and its featured structure concerned, two kinds of ATY were designed and spun. The result of testing to them showed that, comparing with filaments of similar linear density, ATY suffered obviously both loss of strength and loss of elongation at break, this seemed to be the result of the forming of disordered structure when the flat smooth filaments were texturing. Farther multi-texturing would grow the disorder structure up, thus bigger loss of strength and loss of elongation at break were to be tested out. There was an obvious difference in stretching curve between ATY and ordinary filaments, ATY’s curve showed a straight line all in all, it was not smooth with many zigzag tiny waves, that was the reflecting of featured snarling structure of ATY.

The photocatalysis N/TiO2 doped with different amount of urea was prepared by sol-gel method. Doped urea has little impact on the mean particle size which is about 30-50nm. The doping of urea doesn’t make the absorption threshold wavelength have an obvious red-shift. However, it leads to an increase in optical absorption intensity in the visible-light region. FI-IR spectra indicate that urea involves in the hydrolysis process of tetrabutyl titanate and forms a new covalent bond with TiO2 0.01% and 0.1% doped urea can increase visible-light photoactivity of the catalyst. The activity decreases as the doping amount continues to increase. The high initial concentration of the dye solution results in a decrease in the decolorization ratio. 0.01% N/TiO2 decolors methylene blue solution (4mg/L) under visible light and the performance of 92.8% for color removal reaches.

Introducing the concepts of contour error and branch point, a new approach was put forward and applied to contour extraction from a certain garment images with printing patterns. Firstly, the original contour is extracted based on the morphology, and then the original contour is divided into several single-value branches. Finally, the texture noises are eliminated based on the contour error computation. The results indicated that original contour extraction algorithm based on the morphology can effectively remove image pixels within the garment, the shadow and watermark outside. The contour error computation technology can effectively identify the texture noise data in the branch and repair the effects of printing pattern to garment contour. Meanwhile contrasting to other methods, the proposed algorithm can realize the contour extraction in high efficiency.
