Wearable smart textiles are fabrics that provide the wearer with enhanced functionality by displaying a set of favourable properties or by sensing, reacting, and/or adapting to stimuli in the environments to which they are exposed. Electronics are often integrated into these fabrics and the integration provides enhanced functionality to the wearer’s clothing. Functionality enhancements can be engineered for specific applications, thus permitting the development of smart textiles for many specific requirements such as enhancing the safety of the wearer, sensing and reporting of the biometrics of the wearer, heating or cooling of the body based on external requirements or contributing to enhanced performance in sports and related activities. This paper focuses on smart textiles that are worn by the user.

Surface attributes of a textile product i.e. yarn in this case, have crucial importance as they matter the most for an end product, especially in conjunction with the apparel textiles. To quote an example when a customer goes to a boutique to buy an outfit, what does he look for? Importantly the Appearance and the Feel of the fabric. These surface attributes are harnessed in the apparels from the fabrics used. Study of surface properties of a fabric starts from its basic component i.e. yarn.

Liposome technology is applied in numerous fields, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods, detergents, textiles and other applications, because of the ability to liberate the encapsulate slowly. Application of this technology’s result is the energy saving by reducing time and temperature which should be higher in conventional wool-dyeing method and avoiding the use of any other synthetic auxiliaries. In this study, the effect of liposome, which is constituted from soya lecithin and cholesterol, on dispersion dyeing of PET fabric was investigated. Thin lipid layer method was performed for the liposome production. On the other hand the effect of the commercial liposome was also investigated. PET fabrics were dyed using different dispersion dyes and color measurement values, tensile strength, light, rubbing, washing and perspiration fastness analyses were carried out. Fastness results were evaluated according to ANOVA statistical analysis. Different temperatures (between 115°C-130°C) were compared by performing color dyeing yields to examine the effect of liposome addition to the temperature in the dying process. The results were showing that PET fabrics which were dyed with liposome had better fastness, color strength values as compared with non-liposome dyed fabrics. In addition, the energy saving by reducing temperature was obtained.

Conventionally, dyeing of cotton with reactive dye can be done in the presence of salt to improve exhaustion by reduction the repletion forces in between the anionic dye and hydroxyl functional groups of cotton. But after dyeing salt and hydrolysed reactive dye effluent becomes directly disposed to the environment and critically affect human health and biodiversity live inside water bodies. To eliminate salt consumption and enhance wool waste utilization, the present study focused on an eco-friendly approach of salt free dyeing of cotton with reactive through cationization using extracted keratin hydrolysed from Ethiopian sheep wool waste. Keratin protein was successfully extracted from wool waste using different combinations of NaOH Concentration, Temperature, pH and Time. The optimum extraction parameters were selected by investigating the maximum absorption obtained at λ max under UV/Vis Spectrophotometer. The dyeing efficiency of keratin treated cotton was compared with untreated cotton. The dye bath exhaustion percentage for cationized by pad-dry, pad –dry-cur and untreated cotton fabric was evaluated using UV/Vis spectrophotometer and recorded as 70 %, 63.3% and 56.6% respectively. The chemical composition of the cationized fabric was investigated under FTIR. The color strength (K/S), CIE L*a*b* was examined under Color eye - 300 spectrophotometer and the cationized fabric shows better K/S value as compared with untreated fabric. The color fastness for both cationized and untreated dyed fabrics also evaluated and investigated using international standards. The cationized cotton fabric shows very good-excellent color fastness property which is better than that of untreated fabric.

In this work, we report on the study of undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films prepared by sol-gel spin coating technique using the ammonium hydroxide as an additive. The effect of the precursor concentration and the annealing temperature on the optical and structural properties of the produced films is analyzed; we changed the precursor concentration and the annealing temperature from 0.1 M to 0.2 M and 400°C to 500°C with steps of 0.1M and 100°C, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that ZnO thin films are polycrystalline with a hexagonal structure and preferred growth orientations along the a-axis (100) and c-axis (002) from the substrate surface. The elaborated films have shown a high transparency (more than 75%) in the spectral range from 400 nm to 2000 nm. The optical band gap energy values of the ZnO thin films elaborated are located around 3.22 eV. Room temperature photoluminescence is dominated by a strong luminescence peak around 378 nm and a low-intensity peak around 477 nm.

Thermoplastic Laminates of Polycarbonate (PC)/Polyetherimide (PEI) blend with glass fibers were prepared by solution blending of PC & PEI in different ratio of 100/0, 95/5, 90/10, 85/15 and 80/20 using Dichloromethane as solvent followed by applying the resulting blend solutions over the cut sheet size (30 × 25 cm) of woven mat glass fibers & dried overnight, then stacked up 12 flies of the impregnates and consolidated in a hot press at 300oC and 3-4 ton (30 kg/cm2) pressure for a duration of one hour & cooled. The laminates of PC/PEI blends/woven mat glass fibers were studied for their mechanical properties viz: Tensile, Flexural, Impact and Inter Laminar Shear Strength and thermo-mechanical properties viz: TGA, DSC, DMA as well as examination of morphology by SEM. The mechanical properties of laminates of PC/PEI blends/woven mat glass fibers shows an increasing trend in Inter Laminar Shear Strength, Tensile and Flexural Strength upto 20% PEI while Impact Strength shows an increase upto 10% and decreases while the percentage of PEI increases. Glass transition temperature of the laminates increases with increasing content of PEI and the degradation kinetics of TGA reveal that the decomposition temperature decreases with increasing content of PEI. DMA of laminates shows that the thermo-mechanical properties get improved at a higher temperature with the presence of PEI.

Durable nonwoven fabrics have been developed that can be used in the apparel industry and the classic example is Evolon®. Beside with other mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural rigidity, the thermo-physiological properties are also very important because these properties are directly linked to the wearer’s comfort. Thermal comfort has a significant relationship with the moisture management, air permeability, water vapour permeability and the structure of the fabric. The moisture management in the fabric determines the cooling effect and therefore gives comfort to the wearer. Wearer comfort of clothing has continually assumed great importance during the last few decades. During exercise or working conditions, the human body wets because of sweating of the liquid (sweat), which does not evaporate from the skin to the atmosphere, as a result the wearer feels uncomfortable and tends to lose the working efficiency. Therefore, moisture transmission of the fabric is very important in order to optimise the wearer’s comfort and for this, the wicking property of a fabric plays an important role in moisture transmission [1]. Wicking is an effective phenomenon that plays a pivotal role in maintaining the body comfort in sweat condition. Fabrics with higher wicking properties offering a dry feeling by spreading the moisture within the fabric structure coming from the body and tends to evaporate to the environment [2]. Fabric’s higher moisture transmission is linked with the air permeability of the fabric.
