Research in new antimicrobial materials is becoming more important to meet the increasing challenge of arising bacterial infections diseases in the world. Poly (methyl mecthacrylate-co-methacryllic acid) (PCMAA-co-MAA) with different monomer ratio synthesized by emulsion polymerization were electrospun into nanofibers, the carboxyl groups of which was used to adsorb cationic photosensitizers to fabricate photodynamic antimicrobial nanofibrous membrane. Scanning electron microscope and differential scanning calorimeter were utilized to analyze the surface morphology of the P(MMA-co-MAA) nanofibrous membrane as well as its thermal properties. And finally the antimicrobial behavior of the as-prepared material was evaluated. The results indicated that the fiber diameter increased with the increase of relative molecular weight, and the uniformity decreased with the increase of polydispersity index. The glass transition temperature, adsorption capacity of the photosensitizer and antibacterial effect were improved with the increase of MAA. Furthermore, the photodynamic antimicrobial nanofibrous membrane showed good antibacterial effects on the S. aureus and E. coli. The sterilization rate can reach 99%.

In order to obtain higher strength sodium alginate/antarctic krill protein (SA/AKP) composite fiber, a series of SA/AKP/PVA composite fibers were prepared from blend PVA by wet spinning. The hydrogen bonds of SA/AKP composite fiber was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The FT-IR test results show that the existence of intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds in SA/AKP system. Moreover, with the increase of the PVA content, the free hydroxyl groups of the SA/AKP/PVA composite fibers are from 1.2% to 3.6%, as the same time, the intermolecular hydrogen bond are from 57.8% to 54.8%, however, no change exists in the number of intramolecular hydrogen. SEM image result show that the surface grooves of SA/AKP/PVA composite fibers become thin and distribute uniformly. XRD results demonstrate that the composite fibers have lower degree of crystallization with PVA content increasing. With the increase of PVA content, the mechanical properties of SA/AKP/PVA composite fiber first increased and then decreased. Moreover, when PVA content is 3.5%, mechanical properties reached the maximum value of 2.43cN/dtex.

To promote the recycling of waste wool, keratin was extracted from the waste wool using L-cysteine as reducing agent, and spinning solution was prepared by dissolving the regenerated keratin in the sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with 4-substituted benzoic acid by direct Friedel-Crafts acylation. Regenerated keratin/functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes  (F-MWCNTs) composite fibers were wet-spun from the mixed solution of F-MWCNTs suspensing and keratin solution. The results show that F-MWCNTs were homogeneously dispersed in keratin matrix without any aggregation.  With the addition of F-MWCNTs, the composite fibers present crystallinity and content of β-sheet gerater than pure keratin fibers. The low addition of F-MWCNTs enhanced the mechanical properties of composite fibers, and the highest breaking stress of the composite fibers reaches 91.5±12.6 MPa with 0.15% F-MWCNTs, which is improved by 139% in comparison with that of pure keratin fibers.

Aiming at the problem of the continuous conductive treatment method of yarns prepared by In-situ polymerization on low utilization ratio of raw materils, an improved process was presented to prepare conductive polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) / PANI  composite yarns, and the electrical and mechanical properties thereof were studied in detail. The results indecated that high conductivity PTT/PANI composite yarns can be continuously prepared by the improved process. The conductivity of PTT increased first and then decreased, but the conductivity of the composite yarns increased and finally trended to be stable approximately, with the increase of the oxidant APS concentration. The resistance increased exponentially with the stretching of composite yarn in large-strain. And the resistance change is complicated during the small-strain stretch-recovery cycles. The breaking strength and breaking elongation of PTT yarns decreased and the initial modulus increased after the conductive treatment.

In order to obtain a more reasonable approach to estimate staple yarn strength, based on idealized assumptions of yarn structure and definition of critical slipping length, the expression of fiber critical slipping length during yarn breaking process was deduced, as well as the actual contributions that breaking and slipping fibers made to yarn strength. Considering variation of fiber number in each yarn cross section, yarn strength was then calculated by simulating fiber random arrangement in the yarn based on the calculated critical slipping length. Viscose and polyester yarns of various yarn counts and twist multipliers were spun and their strengths were tested for calculation and verification. It could be seen from calculated results that the critical slipping lengths declines with the increase of the yarn twist multiplier. Meanwhile, as the twist multiplier increases, the calculated yarn strength increases to the highest point and then decreases, which is in good agreement with tested results.

A special hierarchical model was proposed to overcome the bottleneck on the fiber length distribution analysis by a random-beard image method, which is a new method for fiber length determination. Based on the two-end characteristic of random-beard, this model can figure out the proportion of fibers shorter than certain thresholds, and derive out a series of formulas for converting fibrogram to cumulative diagram and length frequency histogram via discontinuous point operations, avoiding the previous differential operations which magnified the measurement noise and lead to serious measurement errors. Both cotton and wool ware tested, respectively with the gauge of 2 mm and 6 mm, using these formulas and a single fiber measurement method. The histograms show that the mean differences of the weight frequencies of each length group from the two methods, are 0.31% and 0.26%, respectively, and the differences are all less than 1%, which means the measurements from the two methods have a good agreement. The new calculation method in this paper is highly precise and valuable for the data processing of fiber length measuring instruments.

With the metallic yarns as the conductive structure unit material, the new frequency selective fabrics based on U velvet were papered by velvet weaving method to explore the frequency response characteristics of flexible frequency selective surface. By testing and analyzing transmission coefficient of samples, influence factors of frequency response characteristics were studied. With the increase of unit structure size, line spacing, velvet height or inclination angle of testing, the resonant frequency shifts to low frequency, the density of the conductive yarns is increased, and the resonant frequency is moved to the high frequency, with the same unit bottom length, the resonant frequency of different U connectins has little change. The increasing of the number of the same U connecting leads to the lower frequency. When silver fiber is used as the unit conductive material, the resonance peak and bandwidth of the sample are larger. And the resonant peak of bare copper wire samples is sharper and steeper. U type velvet fabric has the stability performance of the angle of incidence, but has a great influence on the way of polarization.

Yarn strength efficiency is one of the indexes whether the performance of raw materials is fully utilized. On the premise of unchanging the material, adapting a new spinning means to adjust yarn structure is one of the ways to improve its strength efficiency. This paper studied the strength efficiencies of single yarn, plied yarn and wrapped yarn. The theoretical model can depict the single-yarn strength efficiency coefficients of the three yarns under different twist factors. The single yarn and plied yarn are spun on ring spinning frame, and the wrapped yarn is spun on fancy twisting frame. Considering the growth of yarn linear density and twist factor caused by twisting, the single-yarn strength coefficients are used for comparison. The results are similar to the theoretical prediction. Therefore, the model can be used to quantitatively determine the change trends of strength efficiency coefficients, which can be applied to find optimum twisting parameter before spinning, and play a guiding role in production practices.

In order to reduce the serious reactive dye hydrolysis ascribed to high pick-up and slowly heating of the wet fabric in the conventional pad-steam (P-S) dyeing process, a vacuum-dehydration procedure was employed for the padded cotton fabric prior to steaming (low-water content-wet steaming (L-W-S) dyeing process). Reactive blue 19 was adopted as an example to investigate the influences of fabric water content, steaming time and Na2CO3 concentration on the steaming fixation of padded fabrics with low water content. Comparisons of the color strength ( K/S value) and dye fixation rate (F) of the cotton fabrics dyed with the L-W-S dyeing process and the conventional pad-(dry)-steam [P-(D)-S] dyeing process was made. The results show that both K/S value and F of the dyed cotton fabrics obtained from the former process are higher than those from the later process. Incorporating vacuuum-dehydration procedure in the P-S dyeing process offers a potential way to improve reactive dye fixation.

For producing multifunctional ecological cotton fabrics, cotton fabrics were selectively oxidized by HNO3/H3PO4-NaNO2 mediate system to introduce the carboxyl groups in cellulose, and then fibroin was bonded with oxidized cotton fabric by the amide reaction. The influence of oxidation time of HNO3/H3PO4-NaNO2 on carboxyl content and tensile strength of oxidized cotton fabrics was studied, and the influence of oxidation time, mass concentration and treatment time of fibroin on graft yield of oxidized cotton fabric was investigated and the fibroin graft yield of 10.43% was obtained when the oxidation time and graft time were chosen as 1 h and 2 h, respectively. The analysis of NMR, FT-IR, SEM and XPS illustrated that the primary hydroxyl at C6 position in glucose units of cotton fiber was selectively oxidized to carboxyl group by HNO3/H3PO4-NaNO2 system, subsequently the amido bond of C-N was formed by the reaction between amino groups in silk fibroin and carboxyl groups in oxidized cotton fabric and the fibroin film covered on the surface of oxidized cotton fabrics by the covalent crosslinking. The breaking strength and whiteness of fibroin grafted cotton fabrics slightly decreased, whereas the properties of wrinkle recovery and moisture adsorption of modified fabrics markedly increased. 3.45 times as much honeysuckle extract adsorbed on the fibroin grafted cotton fabric was released than original cotton fabric. Furthermore, the fibroin grafted carboxylic cotton fabric treated with honeysuckle extract had a good antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli after 30 washes by water.

To analyze the question of raw materials consumption of knitted sweaters, sweaters with five basic structures were studied. On the basis of some  assumptions, the loop models of common structures were established according to relevant parameters of knitting state of the needle bed, and then the length geometrical model of five basic structures were deduced. According to the number of the number of coils and the linear densities of the five structures, the relevant parameter vectors were illustrated by mathematic matrix to conclude expressions of the sweater consumption model. With the proposed model, the weight of sweaters with basic structures can be predicted, and by the experimental results, the accurac of model is verified to reach forecasting consumption error within 3%. With the proposed model, the weight of sweaters with basic structures can be predicted, which provides enterprises with references for cost.

The warp knitting machine control system is a nonlinear system at a time of change for the warp production. It is required to have fast response, high control accuracy and stability, particularly to high-speed warp knitting machine. The ststem was designed on the basis of the closed loop control of the let-off system of a warp knitting machine. The principle, method and components were introduced in this paper. The DSP digital controller is created as a warp core component of the control unit. It is showed that the beam motor speed for the next period is obtained by measuring wia a feedback roller. Besides to achieve the let-off system of real-time online adjustments, it is calculated and corrected in intelligent PID controller according to the deviation of amount of let-off. When a is made, it is concluded the system possesses the nature of high accuracy, response and stability.

To study the noise produced in the 3-D braiding process of 3D circular braiding machine, a 3-D model of its head section was established. By importing this model into ANSYS Workbench, the modal analysis was carried out and the natural frequencies of the head section were obtained, as well as the modal vibration modes. According to the principle of avoiding natural frequencies, the working conditions were determined. With the multi-body dynamics model of gear transmission set up by Adams, the time-varying force data of both gear mesh and bearing reaction were obtained. And then, the time-varying forces data were converted into frequency domain data by FFT method, which was used as the exciting forces in the model built by LMS Virtual Lab. Combining the modal analysis data with the frequency domain data of bearing reaction forces, the vibro-acoustic coupling model was investigated. Finally, the noise fields under different loads and speeds were obtained, verifying that the designed working conditions could meet the requirement, and the results could provide a reference for the vibro-acoustic research of braiding machine and the field management of practical engineering.

In order to obtain mechanical behavior and volumetric characteristic of weft knitted fabric, a loop model was built on the improved mass-spring model. The problem that the non-uniform rational B spline curve (NURBS) can not pass through all bonding points was solved by using the interpolation algorithm which can form new bonding points and the points are linked by NURBS. In order to simulate the twist of folded yarn, the NURBS is regarded as the geometric center with four cylinders around. Three relative Euler angles were calculated by the spatial coordinates of adjacent points. The relationship between the variables of the loop and the displacement of the mass was analyzed by measuring the variables of the loop. The displacement of the mass and mechanics equations were calculated by velocity-Verlet numerical integration methods. Based on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 integrated development tools and OpenGL 3-D graphics library, 3-D simulation of weft knitted fabrics can be realized visually on the computer screen.

In order to overcome drawbacks of the conventional yarn evenness tester in predicting fabric appearance quality, this paper presents the characterization of the individual yarn deformation and its influence on the resulting quality of the fabric appearance. In the model, the yarn deformation parameters such as the cross-secional area, the yarn cross-sectional perimeter, the void ratio, the yarn flattening ratio f and yarn density were evaluated. Using mathematical modeling, the cross-sectional area and perimeter were presumed as the critical yarn cross-sectional parameters for predicting the fabric appearance quality. Then the finite element modeling (FEM) method and experiment verification were performed to analyze the variation of the cross-sectional area and perimeter in the process of weaving. The results show that the cross-sectional area varhes almost 2 to 3 times greater than the cross-sectional perimeter. The corrilation analysis among the major ellipse radius, the cross-sectional perimeter, and the cross-sectional area are further conducted. The findings reveal a weak correlation between amjor ellipse radius and cross-sictional perimeter, while major ellipse radirs and cross-sectional area are uncorrelated.
