“…The resultant fiber has improved dimensional stability, abrasion resistance and appearance. 8,9 Treatment of cotton with acids and salt solutions to swell fibers has also been investigated. For example, examinations of inter and intra crystalline swelling of cotton fiber after treatment with phosphoric acid showed that the swelling was dependent on both the concentration and temperature of the solution.…”

The treatment of cotton fibers using different chemicals, such as alkalis, acids and salt solutions, has captured the attention of researchers because of their important effects in dyeing, cross-linking and mercerizing processes. However, these agents are difficult in terms of process application and the requirement for major effluent treatment prior to discharge. In this paper, we report on the treatment of cotton in aqueous glycine solutions that were moderated, utilizing glycine’s amphoteric nature at different pH values, to enhance the morphological and moisture regain properties of cotton fiber. Treatment in an aqueous glycine solution buffered to pH 11 increased fiber ribbon width by 4.5%, cross-sectional area by 53% and moisture regain by 16%. Changes were dependent on the treatment solution pH value. This paper describes the glycine treatments and their influence on the cotton fiber cross-sectional morphology and regain properties. The results suggest that at suitable pH values aqueous glycine solutions have the ability to enhance cotton fibers in ways very similar to mercerizing.

“…Liquid ammonia finishing has been reported as an effective method to improve the wrinkle resistance property of fabrics, [27][28][29] resulting in an increase in WRA and thereby being expected to contribute to smaller curve parameters. In order to study the sensitivity of the ISRES with the selected system parameters in evaluating the change of wrinkle recovery of fabrics, two sets of fabric samples before and after liquid ammonia finishing are tested by the ISRES.…”

Measurement methods based on the visual testing principle have been widely used for evaluating the wrinkle recovery property of fabrics; however, the cumbersome testing process and poor adaptability for various fabrics are the main shortcomings of these methods. Here, a facile mechanical testing method named the integrated shape retention evaluation system (ISRES) was developed, providing an alternative approach to assess the wrinkle recovery, as well as the compression recovery and elastic recovery of fabrics. The optimal system parameters of the ISRES in measuring the wrinkle recovery angle were determined using an orthogonal experiment design based on correlation analysis between the curve parameters from the force–displacement curves of the ISRES and the wrinkle recovery angles tested by a standard Shirley crease recovery tester. Moreover, the sensitivity of the ISRES for the differences of the wrinkle recovery of fabrics was analyzed. The results showed that the selected optimal system parameters were a good combination, and the ISRES with the optimal system parameters provided a feasible method to differentiate the wrinkle recovery of fabrics.

“…The Transformative Prints theme enabled the advancement of a well-established CAD process and consideration of an advanced IDP approach by integrating scientific enquiry into functional textile surfaces via hydrophobicity experiments. Relevant existing scientific studies include: Vasiljević et al (2013); Dornyi et al (2008); Lei and Lewis (1991); Mahltig et al (2010); and Abbas et al (2017). This investigation considered the potential to embed additional properties into digitally printed apparel, particularly for outerwear apparel such as jackets and other water-resistant garments within a fashionable contemporary design, sportswear and athleisure context.…”

With an emphasis on reinventing dress histories through a CAD approach, fashion and textiles archive, The Collections Resource Centre in Leicestershire, United Kingdom, was utilised as the springboard for a visually rich and materially vibrant exploratory investigation. The project married historical artefacts with creative digital technologies in order to redefine fashion/textile objects from the past through practitioner-research. The study focused on textile design research from an Integrated Digital Practice perspective within Higher Education, in relation to learning and teaching at undergraduate level. The archive was employed as a fundamental pedagogical basis to aid research-visual, historical and contextual; observational; hands on experimentation; and design demonstration by investigating archives as pedagogy. The overarching aim was to tease out novel findings by exploring a palette of digital tools, methods, techniques, processes and parameters that may lead to the acquisition of new knowledge, skills and design innovation relevant to academia and industry. This was achieved through a 10-week student bursary scheme at Loughborough University that enabled: institutional and external collaboration between the student-and-staff and the studentand-archive; student-staff co-creation; and by the student engaging with outside organisations, institutions, places, people, events and media relevant to the project. Employing a collaborative and interdisciplinary methodological framework supported the concept of the archive as 'having life', based on the initial study, exploration and digital interpretation of selected archival items which resulted in a comprehensive portfolio of artistic ideas, CAD developments, technical enquiry and scientific experimentation. As such, an environment which enabled a dynamic design-research study within a scholarly context was established. The research process was substantiated by the involvement, experience and expertise of academic and technical staff whilst encouraging autonomy from a student perspective. This steered the research and helped to identify potential areas for further work beyond the scope of this project.
