Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are emerging as a novel method for constructing electronic systems in wearable and large area applications. This new type of processing system merges textile and electronic technologies. This paper studies the communication requirements between the computing and sensing elements of an e-textile. This communication is studied through the construction of a prototy...

OBJECTIVES Lung exposures including cigarette smoking and silica exposure are associated with the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We investigated the association between textile dust exposure and the risk of RA in the Malaysian population, with a focus on women who rarely smoke. METHODS Data from the Malaysian Epidemiological Investigation of Rheumatoid Arthritis population-based case-cont...

Indian textile industry occupies a unique position in the Indian economy. Over the period, it has gone through several changes. In the present paper, an attcmpt has been made to present an overview of Indian textile industry in terms of its structure, associated problems, its impact on environment, pollution control strategies, German ban on azo dyes, response of textile ministry to cope with t...

In general terms a fabric filter system consists of a porous flexible layer of textile material through which a dusty gas is passed to separate particles from the gas stream. Deposits on the textile are removed periodically by powerful moving and thereby cleaning of the cloth to maintain the pressure drop across the filter within practical operating limits. There are several methods to make the...

Unit cell homogenization techniques are applied on multiple length scales to compute the macroscopic hyperelastic stiffness characteristics of textile-reinforced polymer matrix composites. On the smallest scale (~50μm) the effective transversely isotropic properties of tows (or yarns) are computed based on both fiber and matrix properties. These position-dependent transversely isotropic effecti...

Color is defined as “ the sensation experienced or caused by light reflected from or transmitted through objects”. In the strict sense, we cannot directly measure perceived color, however we can measure and subsequently calculate certain factors which are responsible for producing this sensation of color. The quantification of the color properties of textile materials is of great economic value...
