ORIGINAL_ARTICLEThermal comfort using microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) in innovative textile products and are widely investigated for their highly added value and processes related to microcapsule application to textiles are rapidly increasing to get the optimum performance. This study is focused on the preparation, characterization, and determination of thermal properties of microencapsulated n-hexadecane with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (PMMA-co-MA) to be used in textiles with heat storage property.https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2014_1_01.pdf2014-06-30613Ruhan AltunAnayurt1AUTHORAlevArslan2AUTHORDöğüşcü DeryaKahraman3AUTHORCemilAlkan4AUTHORSennur AlayAksoy5AUTHOR

ORIGINAL_ARTICLENeedle-punched non-woven filter fabrics made of polyester fibres have been studied for dust filtration by measuring the filtration properties on a fabricated filtration apparatus. The effect of fabric gsm, needle density and needle penetration on filtration characteristics has been studied. The fabrics with higher gsm show higher filtration efficiency and collection capacity but at the cost of increased pressure drop. With the increased needle density and needle penetration value, the filtration properties improved initially up to a certain extent and thereafter reduction takes place.https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2014_1_02.pdf2014-06-301427R.

ORIGINAL_ARTICLEFit of a garment on a body model is an important factor for designing comfortable, functional and well fitted garments. The aim of the research was to research and estimate the fit of women’s garments to the body. Within this study, we designed and developed a number of styles of skirts and jackets. The conventional and virtual prototype development process was carried out first. Next, we defined the method for assessing the fit of real and virtual women’s garments to various body models. Finally, the assessment of how virtual and real garments fit to different body models was performed and a comparison between the conventional and virtual fit to the body was performed.https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2014_1_03.pdf2014-06-302838SimonaJevšnik1AUTHORZ.Stjepanovič2AUTHORA.Rudolf3AUTHORDraganaGrujić4AUTHORT.Pilar5AUTHOR

ORIGINAL_ARTICLEIn this study, fabrication of nanofibers with antibacterial property was aimed to obtain biopolymer-based nano-fiber product that is used for wound healing. For this aim, natural rosemary oil was used to give antibacterial activity to the nanofibers and gelatin polymer was used to produce nanofibers. According to literature survey, rosemary oil has antibacterial activity and it is also used in aromatherapy, topically to sooth muscles, and medicinally thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Gelatin is a natural biopolymer and extensively used in medical products such as wound dressings, drug delivery systems etc. Therefore, the combination of inherently beneficial effects of gelatin material with enhanced properties of nanofibers mats and rosemary oil was aimed at. In the study, gelatin nanofibers containing rosemary oil were fabricated by an electrospinning method. Gelatin was dissolved in distilled water/acetic acid at concentration of 10 % at first step. Then, rosemary oil and surfactant (Span 20) was added to solution and stirred for 6 hours. To get a cross-linked nano-fibrous mat, two different cross-linking methods and different cross-linkers were applied. In the first method, glutaraldehyde or tannic acid as a cross-linker was added to polymer solution before electrospinning. In the second method, nanofibers were spun from rosemary oil/gelatin solution and then cross-linked by GA and tannic acid, separately. Morphology and fiber diameter were investigated using SEM. FT-IR spectroscopy was used to identify cross-linked fiber structure and the presence of rosemary oil in electro spun mat. The solubility of cross-linked fiber mat was also investigated.https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2014_1_04.pdf2014-06-303948NazifeKorkmaz1AUTHORSenaDemirbağ2AUTHORM.

ORIGINAL_ARTICLEInlayers secure both aesthetic qualities and stiffness against creasing of clothing laminates. Laminate is created by thermoplastic glue between inlayer and clothing material which is softened by heat. State variable is temperature. Temperature distributions within laminate can be determined by numerical simulation for different temperatures of heating plates. Impact of different material parameters on temperature distribution is analysed.https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2014_1_05.pdf2014-06-304958RyszardKorycki1AUTHORHalinaSzafranska2AUTHOR

ORIGINAL_ARTICLEThe main aim of this contribution is to present some special results in the field of textile material science and their transfer into practice. Selected example is utilization of side emitting optical fibers for creation of safety textiles with active illumination in conditions of reduced visibility. Illumination intensity of polymer side emitting optical fibers measured in straight and bend state is described. Prototypes of textile structures with embedded optical fibers were created by the Faculty of Textile Engineering of the Technical University of Liberec with collaboration with a Czech company STAP a.s. These works were supported by research project FR-TI1/242 “High Visibility Protective Textiles”. The project was sponsored by the Czech Ministry of Industry”.https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2014_1_06.pdf2014-06-305968DanaKřemenáková1AUTHORJiříMilitký2AUTHORJanaHolovková3AUTHOR

ORIGINAL_ARTICLE Aim of this article is to highlight principles of proportionality and proportionality assessment of the human body on the basis of 3D digital image obtained by scanning the surface of the human body. Measurements made on the figure in digital form based on the principles applied in the standard CSN 80 0090 and octo-segmentation of the body height. The results of measurements realized on a group of thirty young women express the statistical characteristics, correlation and normal Gaussian distribution together with a graphical representation. Research has shown that the octo-segmentation can be used for clothing purposes only indicatively. In the plains eighth division it is not possible to measure the perimeter dimensions because it does not match the anatomical points on the body and the results would affect a standardized typology of characters. However, it can be oriented for creating clothes with ideal proportions of the human body, but also artists, designers and specialists. https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2014_1_07.pdf2014-06-306980MarieNejedlá1AUTHOR

ORIGINAL_ARTICLECompression is a decrease in intrinsic thickness with an appropriate increase in pressure. The compressibility of the terry fabric depends on fibre properties, yarn parameters, weaving parameters, loop length, loop density, loop geometry and post weaving treatment. In this research, all the factors responsible for fabric compression are studied. It has been observed that loop density, loop length, loop shape factor, pile yarn twist, pile yarn count, fibre length and pile yarn structure has a significant effect on the compression behaviour of the terry fabric. With increase in the loop shape factor, loop length and loop density, the linearity of compression curve, resilience increases and specific compression energy reduces which depict that the fabric is getting better in terms of softness to touch.https://acc-ern.tul.cz/archiv/PDF/ACC_2014_1_08.pdf2014-06-308192J.
