: Mg(OH) 2 particles are immobilized onto the surface of cotton fiber by simple physical heat pressing method with the aid of swelling in ionic liquid and shrinkage in water. The effect of eco-friendly surface pretreatment of cellulase, UV and plasma on Mg(OH) 2 immobilization for thermal stability and flammability of cotton fabric is discussed. Improved swelling effect of cellulose after surface treatment is beneficial to contact of Mg(OH) 2 particles with cotton fiber. Due to good adhesion of Mg(OH) 2 particles to fiber surface after partial dissolution and resolidification of fragmented fibril, the flame retardancy of cotton fabric is significantly enhanced under plasma pretreatment with the afterflame time of 1.0 s and afterglow time of 2.0 s. It is found that cellulase treatment is a mild treating method while plasma pretreatment improves flame retardancy at a cost of damaging fiber in a reasonable range.

: Chicken eggshell membrane (ESM) is composed of a non-woven fibrous biopolymer fabric cross-linked by collagen (mainly types X and V), lysyl oxidase, and other molecules, including glycoproteins and lipids, which are secreted by cells in the henʼs fallopian tube. ESM has been reported to improve osteoarthritic knee pain when taken as a supplement and to have anti-fibrotic effects in rodents. ESM has physiological effects in vivo after digestion, absorption, and metabolism, but the mechanism of ESM efficacy remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether ESM is digested and absorbed by the body, although its metabolic mechanism has not been described. Although it is possible to create compounds labeled with single molecules, ESMs are insoluble, fibrillar, natural composite materials, and the molecular form of digested and absorbed ESM is unknown, so it is not possible to prepare synthetically labeled compounds. We developed a method for direct tritium labeling of ESM and investigated the absorption of the labeled ESM. Organic compounds, such as proteins, were mixed with lithium carbonate and then irradiated to label with 3 H produced by the 6 Li (n, α ) 3 H reaction. Mice were orally administered tritium-labeled ESM, and blood and tissue radioactivity were measured using a liquid scintillation counter. Tritium-labeled ESM was distributed in the blood and all tissues after oral administration. Our method enabled successful tritium labeling of fibrous ESM, which allowed for metabolic evaluation of the labeled ESM product as it was digested and absorbed by the organs of experimental mice. This advanced tritium recoiling labeling method can be used for in vivo tracking of complex acellular extracellular matrix bioscaffolds used in biomedical research.

: In order to investigate the washing effect of alkaline electrolyzed water (SAEW) on three soil components adhering to cotton fabrics, the detergency of oil and protein-based soil components adhering to wet-type artificially soiled fabric washed with SAEW was evaluated by using ATR-FT/IR method. In addition, influence of dilution ratio on detergency of SAEW for soils on clothing was examined by using this method. The detergency of oil- and protein-based soils components at each dilution ratio of SAEW was significantly higher than that of solid particle soil component, suggesting that SAEW is superior to not only the detergency of solid particle soil, but also that of oil- and protein-based soils. The detergency of oil- and protein-based soil components washed with 75-fold diluted SAEW was found to be higher than a commercial liquid detergent (standard usage). From these experiments, it was clarified that the washing using SAEW was not only effective methods of reducing the environmental load and damage to the fabric, but also removing oil- and protein-based soil components adhering to cotton fabrics.

Recently, particles of polymer composites including polymer-polymer blends and hybrids with inorganic materials with various functionalities have been applied to biomedical fields [1], optical devices [2], and so on. The particles of polymer composites have been prepared by several techniques. Especially, a microfluidic device has received considerable attention because of the simple procedure to fabricate multiple-phase emulsions utilizing the laminar flow inside narrow capillaries, and multiple phases can be formed in the interiors of the emulsion droplets, resulting in the formation of multi-phased polymer microspheres [3, 4]. Nisisako et al. reported that a microfluidic system which involves a binary mixture of monomer droplets containing different pigments produces the polymer particles of Janus types [5]. In contrast, the approaches using the self-assembly of multi-components, i.e., the phase separation of polymers, can also afford microspheres with internal and surface nanostructures. Nanostructured microspheres exhibit a potential for applications in the next generation such as the optical and photonic 【Transaction】

The particles of polymer composites have been prepared by several techniques. Especially, a microfluidic device has received considerable attention because of the simple procedure to fabricate multiple-phase emulsions utilizing the laminar flow inside narrow capillaries, and multiple phases can be formed in the interiors of the emulsion droplets, resulting in the formation of multi-phased polymer microspheres [3, 4]. Nisisako et al. reported that a microfluidic system which involves a binary mixture of monomer droplets containing different pigments produces the polymer particles of Janus types [5].

: Fabrics woven with paper yarns show the higher cool touch feeling rather than conventional cotton yarn fabrics. We evaluated semi-quantitatively the transverse heat conduction of a single paper yarn to elucidate its high cool touch feeling and discussed the origin of the high heat conduction on the context of the inner structure of the yarn comparing with the cotton yarn. Thermo-sensitive inks show chromatic changes depending on temperature and we applied the ink on the single yarn as a thermo-indicator. The time depending temperature of the single paper yarn after contact on a heated metal plate showed a faster increase than that of the cotton yarns indicating the higher transverse heat conduction of the paper yarn. The observations of the microstructure of the yarns were investigated by Scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was inferred that the less anisotropy of the fiber orientation and the tight packing of the fibers in the paper yarn should be the structural origin of the higher transverse heat conduction of the paper yarn giving rise to the higher cool touch feeling.

: The study of the mechanical deformation behavior is indispensable for endowing more excellent mechanical property to the fibers. In particular the information on the behavior of the crystalline region is basically important. One typical experiment is to trace the structural change in the crystalline (and amorphous) region of the fiber subjected to a tensile force by measuring the change of the X-ray scattering pattern, for example. In principle, the mechanical property of the crystalline phase should be constant as an ultimate property of the semi-crystalline polymer materials. However, the actually detected mechanical deformation behavior of the crystalline region is not constant always but it changes sensitively depending on the sample preparation condition or the higher-order structure. This apparently curious behavior comes from the heterogeneous stress distribution in the fiber, which is speculated to be caused by the existence of the highly-tensioned tie chains in the amorphous region passing through the stacked lamellae. In the present article the important roles of the taut tie chains are reviewed concretely from the various aspects including the quantitative evaluation of the Youngʼs modulus along the chain axis (crystallite modulus), the clarification of the stress-induced phase transition, the improvement of the stress cracking property, the interpretation of fracture phenomenon and so on.

: Black fabrics with different surface textures generated from the weave structure and yarn type were selected to examine how viewing distance affects changes in impression. Participants evaluated 16 fabrics draped over the spherical stand from a distance of 150 cm, then evaluated their visual-only and visual̶ tactile impressions from a distance of 15 cm. Semantic differential scaling of ±3 points for 12 bipolar adjective pairs word were used. It was found that the fabric impression of transparency and gloss were influenced by the viewing distance. When the gloss was perceived at 150 cm, the impression did not change at the shorter distance for samples F8 (shantung) and F15 (lawn). Regarding aesthetic components such as beautiful, like was perceived more visually at 150 cm than with a visual̶tactile evaluation at 15 cm. The mechanical and surface properties of the fabrics were measured using the KES-FB system. An obvious change in perception of hardness/softness between two viewing distance were observed for samples with low bending rigidity. Surface morphology characteristics such as surface roughness (SMD) and mean deviation of surface friction (MMD) and air resistance are useful parameters for understanding the changes in impression according to viewing distance.
