“…From Table 7, chrome-tanned waterproof cow upper leather and plain nylon canvas four-thread upper material have an average tensile strength of 42.82 ± 1.21 and 33.62 ± 0.78, tear Te diference in tensile strength is due to the type of material used for the upper material, which can signifcantly afect its strength. For instance, leather is a common material used for shoe uppers as it is strong and durable [24]. Textile materials such as nylon, polyester, and mesh are also used, but they are not as strong or long-lasting as leather [25].…”

Military combat boots require materials that balance thermo-physiological comfort in hot and cold climates. The aim of this research was to analyze the thermo-physiological comfort properties of military combat boot materials in extreme hot and cold conditions to maintain optimal functionality. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s pairwise comparison statistical tests were conducted, resulting in a p value less than 0.05, indicating statistically significant differences between the materials’ air permeability, water vapor permeability, and thermal resistance. For hot climates, plain nylon canvas four-thread upper and warp-knitted lining fabrics had thermo-physiological indexes of 8.15 and 119.5, respectively. The high airflow and moisture wicking of these materials kept feet cool and dry. For cold climates, chrome-tanned waterproof upper leather and sheepskin lining leather had thermo-physiological indexes of 33.33 and 24.18, respectively. Their waterproofing and insulation maintained warmth and dryness. The thermal properties of the sample uppers were determined to evaluate breathability and insulating ability for hot and cold climatic conditions. The selection of proper materials for military combat boots in different climates is the main approach to reducing foot heat, foot pain, and foot injuries under any condition, providing comfort for wearers, and protecting feet against harsh conditions.

“…Several studies have shown that PPE is inconvenient to use, limits mobility, 8 , 9 and makes people feel uncomfortable owing to thermal stress. 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 Ice hockey pads are a type of PPE that may also hamper normal activities owing to differences in material, size, and suitability for the wearer. As the primary purpose of these pads is to better protect players, they may not have been designed with much regard to how they would affect mobility and comfort.…”

“…Textiles are some of the most used materials in the world with a wide range of applications. Their diversified use in domains such as medicine [1], clothing [2], and electronics [3] have transformed the textile industry. Classic methods of production are insufficient to satisfy the demands, so new techniques and apparatuses are needed to comply to the increased needs.…”

In this work, cotton textile materials were impregnated by immersion with three different nanocomposites: Ag/chitosan, Ag/polyvinylpyrrolidone, and ZnO/polyvinylpyrrolidone and irradiated with a 60Co gamma source. After the nanoparticles impregnation, the cotton materials were irradiated in a dry and wet state at 5 and 20 kGy radiation doses. The following methods were used for the characterization of the obtained cotton materials to reveal the modification of the textile materials: Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and thermogravimetry (TG). The obtained materials have good antibacterial properties. The microbiological tests have shown the best material results for the gamma irradition and Ag nanoparticles combined treatment. The objective was to create a more environmentally friendly approach for textile functionalization by eliminating toxic chemicals-based technology and replacing it with the eco-friendlier gamma technology.
