“…On the other hand, the smaller the angle between the fiber and the roving axis is, the greater the component force of fiber in the direction of the roving axis, resulting in a better stress transfer effect. 26 Therefore, the properties of the composite can be slightly improved by the decrease of roving twists. The sequence of the different materials is logical, because higher twist angles lead to lower mechanical properties.…”

The finite length of natural fibers makes them frail and unable to perform and be engineered as excellent composite reinforcements. Hence, roving formations and weaving techniques have been employed to overcome these weaknesses and have been used as an alternative reinforcement in continuous quasi-unidirectional hemp composites (QUDHCs). Tensile, flexural, and water absorption tests were conducted on nine QUDHCs. It was concluded that adopting the warp consolidation weaving technique significantly improved the mechanical stability of the QUDHCs and negatively affected the water absorption properties. Nevertheless, adverse effects of a roving twist on the mechanical properties of QUDHCs were found when a 40 turn/m roving was used as the weft. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties of QUDHCs were strongly dependent on the fiber quality produced after roving twists. The roving twists numbers affected the water absorption of QUDHCs in different ways when there is/no warp yarn interweaving with the roving in the preform. In contrast, the moisture rate gain increased with the increment of roving twists in the case of the warp yarn and weft roving interweaving in the preform. The results in this study highlight the feasibility of improving the mechanical and water absorption properties by hemp roving fiber formations and weaving techniques, which is beneficial for the textile-structure composite industry.

“…A 3D orthogonal woven fabric (3DOWF) is a multilayer integral structure with strong designability and outstanding mechanical properties, [24] in which each layer is created by specific types of yarn. [25] In order to achieve excellent unidirectional water transport capacity and enhanced mechanical characteristics via the 3D weaving technology, a modified 3DOWF with an asymmetric wetting structure was produced in this work using three types of yarn with different hydrophilicities.…”

Unidirectional water transport performance is vital for maintaining human thermal and wet comfort in the field of garment materials. In this work, a 3D orthogonal woven fabric (3DOWF) with excellent one‐way transport capacity and mechanical properties is developed via 3D weaving and plasma treatment. The 3DOWF consists of polyester yarns (first layer), cotton yarns (second layer), and viscose yarns (third layer) with successively enhanced water absorption capacity. This allows droplets to penetrate spontaneously from the hydrophobic layer to the hydrophilic layer but not vice versa. Moreover, the Coolmax yarn with the core suction effect in the Z‐direction and the plasma‐treated polyester of the 3DOWF are shown to efficiently speed up the water transport process. In particular, the water penetration rate of the 3DOWF reaches 25 µl s‐1. In turn, the surface temperature after water absorption is increased by 2.6 °C compared with the cotton fabric, while the tensile strengths in the weft and warp directions of the 3DOWF are 49.62 and 18 MPa, respectively. These values represent the best insulation and mechanical characteristics thus far reported among unidirectional water transport fabrics. Therefore, the 3DOWF has great potential for use in watchbands, backpack belts, insoles, and other functional textiles.

“…[9][10][11][12] As well known, exploring the natural degradable materials as biomaterials has become a hot pot. 13 Alginate-based wound dressing with the outstanding hygroscopic properties can create a humid microenvironment for wound surface to facilitate the wound healing. It has been extensively investigated as candidates for wound dressing, drug-delivery carrier and tissue scaffold, owing to its high biocompatibility, negligible toxicity and safe gelation condition.…”

It is necessary for wound dressing constructed from fibers capable of overcoming external stretching and protecting injured skin. The limited mechanical performance of existing alginate fiber limits its biomaterial application. Herein, this issue can be addressed via incorporation of uniformly dispersed hydroxyapatite (HAP) and silica (SiO 2 ) nanoparticles (NPs) in alginate (Alg) by microfluidic spinning technique. These NPs serve as a reinforcing phase to help the alginate-based composite to develop outstanding mechanics. Both HAP-Alg and SiO 2 -Alg hybrid fibers exhibited excellent breaking elongation, 67.56 ± 6.85% and 52.08 ± 5.20% respectively, while that of breaking strength were 7.04 ± 0.58 MPa and 4.96 ± 0.59 MPa. Furthermore, in vitro cytotoxicity was explored by studying on the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes and fibroblasts, which illustrated no obvious cytotoxicity of the resulting alginate fibers loaded with HAP and SiO 2 NPs. The artificial scratch assay demonstrated that the resulting alginate-based composite fiber can assist the injured skin regeneration. This work provides a significant progress in the conception of developing NPs reinforced alginate-based hybrid fiber which can withstand the large strain behavior and facilitate wound healing, making it an ideal candidate as wound dressings and fibrous scaffolds.
