AbstractThe digital transformation process entails the creation of new business models, processes, software, and technologically advanced systems. This study aims to analyze the barriers that businesses in the apparel sector face during the process of digitalization. So far, no comprehensive study has been found in the literature that analyses how these barriers interact with each other to make better decisions for digital transformation. This study initiates by conducting an identification of the barriers faced by companies operating in the apparel sector during their pursuit of digitalization. Then, prioritizing important barriers and the relationships between these barriers are analyzed using the Fuzzy DEMATEL method. Research results showed that lack of expertise, lack of management support, insufficient financial resources and lack of IT system are the four main barriers. It is thought that the development of digitalization in the apparel clothing industry will increase by keeping these barriers in focus.Keywords: Appareldigitalizationfuzzy DEMATELmanufacturing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

AbstractYarn breakage or ends-down in ring spinning adversely affects spinning efficiency. An ends-down event may continue for an extended period of time before it is detected and attended to. This study explored a novel approach to detect yarn breakage or ends-down in ring spinning, through changes in ring temperature after an ends-down. Numerical simulation and experimental verification were used to examine the ring temperature changes during the yarn breakage process. The results showed that higher ambient temperature, spindle speed and yarn count (tex) resulted in a higher ring temperature and a longer ring cooling time. But the rate of ring temperature decrease immediately after yarn breakage was quite high, dropping 50% between equilibrium and ambient temperatures in approximately 16 s for most spinning conditions. The model and results of this study offer the basis for a new yarn breakage detection option in ring spinning based on the temperature change of the ring.Keywords: Ring spinningyarn breakagering temperaturenumerical modelends-down detection AcknowledgmentWe would like to acknowledge support provided to the first author under the Deakin-WTU joint PhD program.Disclosure statementThe authors declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship and/or publication of this article.

Numerous solutions for pulse measurement by athletes exist, most commonly in the form of watches or bands. However, some athletes do not tolerate or do not want additional devices on their bodies during exercise. This work aims to replace the existing commercial solutions with textile sensors embedded in clothing. Such a solution would increase comfort and facilitate physical activity. To select the best solution, four knitted fabrics were tested to select the one with the best parameters as a substrate for the system. Three different densities of the embroidery with electrically conductive thread 100%, 85% and 65% were also tested and in two sizes for bands and belts. Mechanical and utility tests were performed such as resistance to perspiration or tensile stress. All tests were carried out in an accredited laboratory, in accordance with applicable standards and our own methodology. The results showed the best material, embroidery density and embroidery size to create an airy, heat-dissipating, and durable textronic system for athletes. Prototype of the solution was created, and its operation was tested during simulation. Conducted tests of the conductive properties of embroidered materials confirm the possibility of making textronic sensors responding to the pulse. The knitted fabrics selected for the tests meet the requirements of sports materials for the parameters of thermal resistance and air permeability. The results showed the correct operation of the prototype.

AbstractTo prepare functional cotton fabric with good electrical conductive property, tin oxide antimony (ATO) and polymer was alternately assembled on the cotton fabric for fabricating functional coating by dipping-assisted layer-by-layer assembly technique. The microstructure of ATO/polymer coated fabric was characterized by scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, the electrical conductivity and air permeability were measured by multimeter, four-point resistance tester and air permeability tester. The results showed that the addition of ATO imparted electrical conductive property to the ordinary cotton fabric, and the polyanionic waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was beneficial to the deposition of ATO and polycationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) and thus improving the conductive property of the fabric. With the increase of the number of assembly layers, the quality, thickness and electrical conductive property increased, but the air permeability decreased. When the number of assembly layers increased from 3 to 6 and 9, the resistivity of the fabric decreased from 41.8 Ω·m to 6.1 and 4.7 Ω·m. Meanwhile, the addition of ATO and PEI improved the fire resistance property of cotton fabric. The exploration of the conductive fabric provides a feasible strategy for multi-functional wearable textiles.Keywords: Antimony tin oxideconductive coatingcotton fabric modificationstep-by-step assemblyfire resistance Disclosure statementThe authors declare no competing financial interest.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province of China (No. ZR2022QE211), Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province of China (No. ZR2020QE095), Open Fund of Hubei Key Laboratory of Biomass Fibers and Eco-Dyeing & Finishing (Wuhan Textile University) (No. STRZ202107), Open Fund of State Key Laboratory of Biobased Fiber Manufacturing Technology (No. SKL202204), Opening Project of Key Laboratory of Clean Dyeing and Finishing Technology of Zhejiang Province, Project Number: QJRZ2113 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program for Shandong Students (No. S202210433061), Laboratory Construction Project of Shandong University of Technology (No. 2022018) and Doctoral Research Startup Foundation of Shandong University of Technology (No. 4033/721025).

AbstractPigment printing using screen technology has certain problems associated with the limited use of domestic raw materials. The expansion of the range of printing inks fills the need for small-circulation production of textile products with original artistic and color design and the use of modern printing equipment. In this work, the possibility of using new aqueous polyurethane dispersions as binders in pigment printing was explored for the first time. This will expand the range of thickeners through the use of polyurethane dispersions, ensuring the production of strong and elastic polymer films during low-temperature processing. Such dispersions are environmentally friendly products, since toxic solvents are not used. We propose the application of new polyurethane thickeners in compositions with polyurethane dispersions as a rheological modifier. The rheological parameters of printed compositions and the physical and mechanical properties of films of polyurethane dispersions were determined and it was found that the dispersions used are capable of forming a soft and plastic film. This confirms the suitability of these film-forming preparations for use in pigment printing. The new binders based on polyurethane dispersions make possible to create effective printing compositions, to improve the quality of prints and to impart improved performance properties.Keywords: Pigment printingpolyurethane dispersioneco-friendly bindersrheological propertiesperformance propertiesthickeners Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

AbstractThe need for thin and highly deformable textile reinforcements is constant in sectors like thin composites, catching nets, and complex construction designs (like dome-shape). The conventional rectangular-patterned meshed wovens are used in thin composite structures as reinforcement at the commercial level. These woven textiles are bidirectional and exhibit approximately the same strength along both axes. However, these conventional rectangular-patterned mesh designs show poor impact stress distribution capacity. Interestingly, very thin and fine mesh designs are available in nature. One such example is the spider web structure. These structures have evolved with time and optimised their mesh pattern design for better impact damage resistance and load transfer. In this study, the basalt fibre reinforced mortar textile composites are considered for the investigation due to their growing interest in civil and construction applications. To demonstrate how the mesh geometry in textiles significantly influences the stress transfer, energy absorption, and deformation of reinforcements under various impact situations, three different geometries, (a) square shape mesh, (b) diamond-shaped mesh, and (c) bio-inspired spider web mesh, are modelled and meshed based on the reference geometry’s meshing pattern and dimensions. The results of numerical simulations show that a meshed reinforcement design inspired by spider-orb-web has improved mechanical features compared to conventional square and diamond shape mesh designs under high velocity impact loading.Keywords: Basalt wovenbio-inspired designspider-orb-webhigh velocity impact Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingResearch reported herein was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 52208266), Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province (No. ZR2021QE068) and China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (No. 2023M732575).

AbstractThree-dimensional (3D) braided composites have a wide range of applications and are known for their flexible designability, structural integrity, high specific stiffness, high specific strength, and higher damage tolerance. However, the current production of 3D braided preforms primarily relies on manual labor, particularly when it comes to the special-shaped structures, resulting in limited capacity to meet diverse and large-scale demands. In order to swiftly and cheaply braid preforms of various structures, this research proposes a novel braiding machine model. The proposed machine is extendable, capable of changing patterns quickly, and incorporates multiple functionalities. So it is appropriate for automated manufacturing preforms with different cross-sections, including Τ-shaped, H-shaped, ∏-shaped, and other structures, while also facilitating the development of new braiding structures to satisfy various application requirements. More importantly, it can automatically braid a variety of shapes, such as tapered structures, branch pipes, variable thickness preforms and so on. Comparative analysis with existing machines highlights the superior mechanical structure, operational mode, and functional characteristics of the robotic arm braiding machine. This advanced machine contributes to the evolution of the braiding industry. By breaking the limitations of traditional equipment that can only produce a single type of structure, this advanced braiding machine has the potential to significantly reduce equipment costs for braiding factories.Keywords: 3D braiding machinebraiding structurespattern changecomposites Authors’ contributionJing Li (First Author): Conceptualization, Methodology, Investigation, Validation, Formal Analysis, Writing - Original Draft, Writing - Review & Editing; Yajun Yin: Conceptualization, Resources, Supervision; Qing Huang: Investigation, Formal analysis; Gui Yang: Conceptualization, Software; Feng Jiang: Project administrationDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractSilica aerogel is a remarkable material known for its exceptional thermal insulation properties and low density. The synthesis of silica aerogel involves a sol–gel process, which consists of gelation, aging, and drying steps.

AbstractExamination of natural quinone dyes and their dyeing properties exist in the literature. However, disperse dyeing of synthetic quinone dyes on textile materials and examination of these properties are quite rare. In this study, the derivatives of new N-,O-heteroatom-substituted-1,4-naphthoquinone dyes were synthesized with the reactions between 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with some aromatic and aliphatic N-nucleophiles according to Michael addition mechanism and the exact structure of dyes were specified by using various spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, and UV/Vis.) and microanalyses. In the second step of this work, the polyethylene terephthalate fabrics were dyed with these newly synthesized disperse dyes. Dyeing performances such as dye exhaustion (%), color, and color fastness (to washing, alkaline perspiration, acidic perspiration, water, seawater, wet rub, dry rub, sublimation, and light fastness) properties of these dyes on PET fiber fabrics were investigated and compared. The highest color yield (K/S) by 12.33 was obtained with dye compound 10 at a dyeing depth of 3% owf and displayed better dyeing performance than the other dyes studied. In conclusion, PET fibers dyed with dye 2-4-(4-Chlorofenoxyaniline)-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (dye compound 10) displayed the highest dye exhaustion (%) values, the highest color yields, and excellent washing, perspiration (alkaline and acidic), water and seawater and rub (dry and wet) fastness values with no staining whatsoever.Keywords: Quinonesdyeing propertiescolor strengthfastness propertiesdisperse dyescolor yield Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe authors would like to express their gratitude to the Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa for financial support (Project Number: FYL-2020-35257).
