Summary: In the apparel industry, recycling cutting waste to produce yarn is an important but underexplored area. This study aims to utilize a higher proportion of recovered cotton fibers with virgin cotton fibers in rotor spinning to manufacture recycled yarn and analyze its quality. The results show that the 60:40 blend of recycled and virgin fibers has better uniformity and less imperfection, while the 70:30 blend is more cost-effective and allows for better material recovery.

Summary: Perceptions of yellowing, aging, and dirtiness in textile products have a significant impact on consumer satisfaction and sustainable use. This study investigates consumers' perceptions of various colors associated with yellowing, aging, and dirtiness, and examines the applicability of the commonly used yellowness index (YI). The results reveal similarities and differences in perceptions among yellowish, yellowing, and yellowed colors, and emphasize the importance of understanding these color perceptions for creating sustainable products that meet consumers' long-term needs.

Summary: The dynamic adsorption and desorption behaviors of rosin colloids onto and from CNFs and TOCNFs in aqueous media were investigated using QCM-D measurements. The effects of maleic anhydride modification, anionic surfactant, and Alum addition on the adsorption were studied. The results showed that maleic anhydride modification contributed to particle size reduction, an increase in Tg, and enhanced stability, while using an anionic surfactant increased the particle size and ionicity. The adsorption of rosin colloids was affected by the surface charge of CNFs and the presence of Alum.

Summary: Moisture sorption and diffusion processes of plant fiber materials have a significant impact on their properties and product quality. This study utilized a multi-scale imaging approach to identify the heterogeneous structure of plant leaves and the impact of fiber structure and pore channels on water adsorption. The mechanisms of water adsorption, osmotic diffusion, and hygroscopic swelling were illustrated. The effects of temperature and water activity on water diffusion and the water-blocking effect of the waxy layer interface were also investigated.

Summary: This study quantitatively analyzes the data of 3D seam shapes that alter according to easing conditions. It suggests a new method for analyzing changes in 3D surface area, volume, and seam shape. The study found that when seam lines are short, the area increases dramatically with an increase in ease amount, while it is relatively unaffected when seam lines are long. Furthermore, the study shows that the radius of curvature for curved seam lines is related to waveform height, but the peak value doesn't increase with an increase in ease amount.

Summary: Textile uppers made from fitted knitted fabrics are becoming increasingly important in commercial footwear production. This study analyzed twelve different textile uppers and two reference leather materials, and characterized their structural properties and physiological comfort parameters. The thermo-physiological properties of the upper parts of the footwear were analyzed through measurements of air permeability, thermal insulation properties, water vapor permeability, and sorption properties. Among the textile uppers analyzed, knitted fabrics made on large diameter cylindrical crochet machines exhibited the most desirable functional properties. The varnished cowhide leather variant showed the worst hygienic properties.

Summary: This study investigates the flame retardancy of Aramid/alginate blended nonwoven fabrics by incorporating alginate fibers into aramid fibers. The results show that alginate fibers effectively inhibit the combustion performance of aramid fibers and improve the flame retardancy and fire behaviors of the blends. The incorporation of 80% alginate fibers notably reduces the peak-heat release rate, total heat release, peak-smoke production rate, and total smoke production of the blends. This study suggests that alginate fibers can be used as a biological smoke inhibitor and a flame retardant for aramid fiber, reducing the risk of secondary injury in fires.
