Abstract:
Wearable E-textile systems should be comfortable so that highest efficiency of their functionality can be achieved. The development of electronic textiles (functional textiles) as a wearable technology for various applications has intensified the use of flexible wearable functional textiles instead of wearable electronics. However, the wearable functional textiles still bring comfort complications during wear. The purpose of this review paper is to sightsee and recap recent developments in the field of functional textile comfort evaluation systems. For textile-based materials which have close contact to the skin, clothing comfort is a fundamental necessity. In this paper, the effects of functional finishing on the comfort of the textile material were reviewed. A brief review of clothing comfort evaluations for textile fabrics based on subjective and objective techniques was conducted. The reasons behind the necessity for sensory evaluation for smart and functional clothing have been presented. The existing works of literature on comfort evaluation techniques applied to functional fabrics have been reviewed. Statistical and soft computing/artificial intelligence presentations from selected fabric comfort studies were also reviewed. Challenges of smart textiles and its future highlighted. Some experimental results were presented to support the review. From the aforementioned reviews, it is noted that the electronics clothing comfort evaluation of smart/functional fabrics needs more focus.

Abstract:
With the advent of wearable electronic devices in our daily lives, there is a need for soft, flexible, and conformable devices that can provide electronic capabilities without sacrificing comfort. Electronic textiles (e-textiles) combine electronic capabilities of devices such as sensors, actuators, energy harvesting and storage devices, and communication devices with the comfort and conformability of conventional textiles. An important method to fabricate such devices is by coating conventionally used fibers and yarns with electrically conductive materials to create flexible capacitors, resistors, transistors, batteries, and circuits. Textiles constitute an obvious choice for deployment of such flexible electronic components due to their inherent conformability, strength, and stability. Coating a layer of electrically conducting material onto the textile can impart electronic capabilities to the base material in a facile manner. Such a coating can be done at any of the hierarchical levels of the textile structure, i.e., at the fiber, yarn, or fabric level. This review focuses on various electrically conducting materials and methods used for coating e-textile devices, as well as the different configurations that can be obtained from such coatings, creating a smart textile-based system.

Abstract:
In last decades, increased attention is paid to comfort properties of textiles and garments. The most important parameters characterizing the called physiological comfort of textile structures are the evaporative resistance and water vapour permeability. Contrary to common textiles, protective and functional garments and, also some technical textiles, are also used in wet state, which affect their comfort properties. In this paper, PERMETEST commercial instrument is described, which provide reliable non-destructive measurement of evaporative resistance and water vapour permeability of fabrics in dry and wet state. By means of this instrument, evaporative resistance and water vapour permeability of cotton, polyester and cotton/polyester knitting fabrics, in the wet state, were experimentally determined and results were discussed. The effect of count yarn and composition of the above mentioned properties of these fabrics has been investigated as well. Some surprising results were achieved: with increasing fabrics moisture, the water vapour permeability also increases, especially with the presence of hydrophilic textile material.

Abstract:
The focus of this study is to analyze heating and insulating properties of textiles utilized in the construction industry. Research regarding textile heating composites typically centers around their use in the fashion industry and personal thermal comfort. Therefore, the study focuses on the application of textile heating composites as a method for improving the local thermal comfort of the user. The aim of this project was to analyze and describe the heating and insulating properties of electroconductive yarns and insulating textiles used in the construction industry. This goal was achieved by building physical samples that underwent heating tests. The next step was to compare the examined properties and select the best combination of yarn and fabric, which was then tested in the target environment. It was concluded that the best heating results are achieved with steel thread embroidered on fiberglass mesh and combined with extruded polystyrene that can be used to improve the local thermal comfort of the user.

Abstract:
Comfort is a state of mind affected by many factors, and clothing has contributing to the well being of man, changing in some cases his customs. Since the origin, the primary functions of clothes have been of protection against cold or in general against environmental stimuli. New functions are required to modern textiles: wearing comfort, durability, cleaning properties, optimized functionality for specific applications (workwear, sportswear, medical wear). Smart and interactive textiles represent a budding interdisciplinary field that brings together specialists in information technology, micro systems, materials engineering, and production technology. The focus of this new area is on developing the enabling technologies and fabrication techniques for the economical production of flexible, conformable and large-area textile- based information systems that are expected to have more applications for different end users. The smart and interactive textiles will be highly applied in the next generation of fibres, fabrics and items produced from them. Application of smart textiles can be now found everywhere. The market and the business of wearable, interactive and smart textiles are presently changing the basis of the textile industry. The changes are dynamic knowledge transfer, innovative systems, new employment opportunities in the smart industries and others. Business possibilities are not limited to the textile industry, but they can be found in almost any line of business. The European textile sector is one of the mainstays of the European Manufacturing Industry. The market for smart textiles is one of the most dynamic and fast growing sectors and offers huge potential for companies.

Abstract:
A textile patch antenna is an attractive package for wearable applications as it offers flexibility, less weight, easy integration into the garment and better comfort to the wearer. When it comes to wearability, above all, comfort comes ahead of the rest of the properties. The air permeability and the water vapor permeability of textiles are linked to the thermophysiological comfort of the wearer as they help to improve the breathability of textiles. This paper includes the construction of a breathable textile rectangular ring microstrip patch antenna with improved water vapor permeability. A selection of high air permeable conductive fabrics and 3-dimensional knitted spacer dielectric substrates was made to ensure better water vapor permeability of the breathable textile rectangular ring microstrip patch antenna. To further improve the water vapor permeability of the breathable textile rectangular ring microstrip patch antenna, a novel approach of inserting a large number of small-sized holes of 1 mm diameter in the conductive layers (the patch and the ground plane) of the antenna was adopted. Besides this, the insertion of a large number of small-sized holes improved the flexibility of the rectangular ring microstrip patch antenna. The result was a breathable perforated (with small-sized holes) textile rectangular ring microstrip patch antenna with the water vapor permeability as high as 5296.70 g/m2 per day, an air permeability as high as 510 mm/s, and with radiation gains being 4.2 dBi and 5.4 dBi in the E-plane and H-plane, respectively. The antenna was designed to resonate for the Industrial, Scientific and Medical band at a specific 2.45 GHz frequency.

Abstract:
The main objective of the present study was to determine the relative role and importance of worsted suiting fabric fibre blend vis-à-vis fabric structural parameters, on the comfort related properties of 12 clothing ensembles, each comprising a different man’s suit, but the same wool/nylon underwear and cotton shirt. To achieve the objective, the comfort related properties, namely thermal resistance (Rt) and water vapour resistance (Ret) and water vapour permeability index (Im), of the clothing ensembles, as determined by means of WalterTM, a thermal sweating fabric manikin, were subjected to multi-linear and multi-quadratic analysis, as dependent variables, with the various suiting fabric parameters, namely weight, thickness, density, porosity, air permeability and wool content, as independent variables. It was found that the multi-quadratic regression analysis was able to best explain the observed differences in the clothing ensemble comfort related properties, in terms of the differences in suiting fabric properties. The regression analyses were used to isolate and quantify the effects of the various fabric and fibre content variables on the above mentioned comfort related properties of the various clothing ensembles. This study indicated that the suiting fabric structural properties (notably air permeability), had a more significant influence than either fibre blend or suiting fabric, as measured on WalterTM, a thermal sweating fabric manikin.

Abstract:
This paper describes a practice- based research project in which physical and emotional comfort and discomfort is experienced by the human body. A variety of different Comfort Zones are presented. All of them deal with the relationship between filling material and cover, in which knitted structures and materials play a central role in order to create comfort. The elasticity of the knit is challenged when creating volume and emphasizes the idea that comfort is elastic in material/physical way, as well as well in emotions. The use of filling materials gives a new dimension, sensitivity and offers new opportunities. This form exploration discusses the potential of knit to serve as a cover and decorative element, but most importantly the possibility of a textile to create its own filling. By rolling up a knitted tube, volume is built up layer by layer; a torus appears and captures a void in the center of the form, required by the tube, the fundament. Hints of discomfort are given and emphasized by either surface/structure, volume or garments on the body.

Full text
Abstract:
This project investigates the experience of physiological discomfort during travel through an urban environment such as London or New York in winter. The over and underground networks that lace a current metropolis, form vital passages that lead the traveller though a multitude of spaces each defined by unique temperature, humidity and activity level. It is impossible to predict possible eventualities and consequently accommodate in a selection of clothing to ensure physiological comfort. Modular clothing assemblies are currently employed for the management of physiological comfort to adjust the insulation and ventilation properties of a clothing system and rely on combinations of behavioural methods and textile properties. This method is compromised by factors such as limited availability of space and wearer’s ability to detect and respond to the onset of discomfort sensations. Current smart systems rely on temperature as a stimulus for actuation. Experimental work suggests that humidity is a more suitable trigger. Botanical mechanisms that employ hygroscopic expansion/contraction for seed and spore deployment were identified as paradigms for the development of a smart textile system. Biomimetic analysis of these natural mechanisms inspired the design of a textile prototype able to adapt its water vapour resistance in response to humidity changes in the microclimate of the clothing system. The resulting structure decreases its permeability to air by 20% gradually as relative humidity increases from 60% to 90%.

Abstract:
The relationship between the fabric parameters, as independent variables, and the comfort related properties, as dependent variables, of commercial suiting fabrics, containing both natural and man-made fibres, have been studied. The fabric parameters measured in the study were mass, thickness, density, and air permeability. The comfort related properties, tested on a Permetest instrument, included water vapour permeability, water vapour resistance, and thermal resistance, with the moisture permeability index being derived. A total of 26 commercial suiting fabrics, covering a wide range of mass, as well as different fibre types and blends and fabric structures, was tested. The fibres covered, included wool, polyester, viscose, and cotton, while the fabric structures covered were 1x1 plain weave, 2x1 twill and 2x2 twill weave. The objectives of this study were to determine the empirical relationships between the measured fabric properties and the measured comfort related properties, and to determine the role, if any, of fibre type and fabric structure, since many claims are made in practice concerning the relative advantages, in terms of comfort, of a specific fibre type or blend, or fabric structure, over others, some of which being supported by research results. Since the fabrics covered, were commercial and were not engineered so that the different fabric parameters (independent variables) and fibre type and blend, as well as fabric structure could be varied independently of each other, the effects of the various fabric parameters on the fabric comfort related properties were determined and quantified by multiple regression analyses (multi-linear and multi-quadratic), and the best fit regression equations, and contribution of each parameter to the overall fit established. It was found that fabric thickness and fabric mass had the largest effect on the comfort related properties as measured here, fabric mass determining, to a large extent, water vapour permeability, and fabric thickness, thermal resistance. The rest of the fabric parameters included in the study had only a relatively small effect on the measured comfort related properties. The influence of fabric parameters, with particular reference to mass and thickness, on the measured comfort related properties, were much greater than that of fibre type or blend, or fabric structure. It was, therefore, concluded from this study, that the fabric parameters, as opposed to the intrinsic characteristics of a particular fibre, whether natural or man-made, largely determined those fabric comfort related properties measured here.

Abstract:
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a modality of electrotherapy which is aiming to restore and improve muscle function by injecting small levels of current into the muscle using different types of electrodes. Advantages are seen in using textile electrodes which can be integrated into wearables. Previous research has been done for the development of textile stimulation electrodes. However, the focus has not been on the electrode construction itself. Therefore, the influence of electrode construction parameters of knitted electrodes as well as of the electrode condition, i.e. wet or dry, on the skin-electrode impedance and on the perceived stimulation comfort were analysed. Further, the application of pressure to the electrode was investigated. It was found that the electrode condition is the most important parameter for the electrode performance as a wet electrode showed a lower impedance and an improved stimulation comfort with a better skin contact. Followed by this, the pressure was the second most important factor, especially for dry electrodes. A higher pressure reduced the skin-electrode impedance and improved the skin contact in dry condition. Nevertheless, dry electrodes with a high applied pressure still performed worse than wet electrodes. Regarding the electrode design, the most important factor was the electrode size. A bigger size reduced the impedance. Nevertheless, for the application in NMES, a smaller electrode size is to be preferred as it improved the stimulation selectivity and thus, a lower NMES level was required to induce a plantarflexion without affecting the stimulation comfort. The other investigated construction parameters (binding, yarn density, shape) only showed minor influences on the electrode performance. Therefore, the possibilities of applying pressure to the electrode to improve the performance of dry textile electrodes should be further investigated.

Cette étude s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet européen Interreg entre la Haute de France et la Belgique. Le projet s'appelle Photonitex.L'objectif de ce projet est de développer un textile intelligent de régulation thermique personnelle qui contrôle dynamiquement la température de la peau. Ce travail a été réalisé en collaboration entre le Centre Européen des Textiles Innovants (CETI) et l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Industries Textiles (ENSAIT).L'objectif de cette thèse est de développer une fibre bi-composant pour un textile de confort thermique. La revue de la littérature a été faite pour sélectionner les matériaux polymères les plus appropriés qui sont couramment utilisés dans l'industrie textile. De plus, sur la base de la revue de la littérature, la conception des fibres trilobées bicomposantes a été finalisée pour réaliser le textile de confort thermique dynamique. De plus, les matériaux polymères utilisés doivent présenter une différence hydrophile pour obtenir les propriétés thermiques dynamiques des tissus. Le matériau intérieur de cette fibre trilobée bicomposant doit être plus hydrophile que le matériau extérieur. PA6 et PA6-6 ont été sélectionnés comme noyau hydrophile et matériau extérieur hydrophobe en PET pour les filaments bicomposants trilobés. Cependant, PA6 et PA6-6 sont incompatibles et non miscibles au PET. L'enjeu majeur pour obtenir les fibres bicomposants recherchées est d'acquérir une adhérence suffisante à l'interface pour éviter le pré-clivage ou la séparation entre ces deux matériaux polymères. Afin d'améliorer leur miscibilité à l'interface, PA12 a été ajouté dans PA6 et PA6-6 à 5, 10, 15 % en poids via un procédé de mélange de polymères. les matériaux polymères jouent un rôle important. Afin de sélectionner les matériaux les plus appropriés pour la fibre bicomposant trilobée, des études rhéologiques ont été menées sur des mélanges purs et polymères à l'aide d'un rhéomètre capillaire. De plus, les propriétés hydrophiles de chaque polymère et de leurs mélanges ont également été testées sur des tissus tricotés avec des mesures d'angle de contact et de mèche. Pour évaluer l'effet du PA12 sur l'adhérence interfaciale du PET et du PA6, des fibres bicomposants PET/PA6 gaine/cœur ont été produites via un procédé de filage à l'état fondu et l'adhérence interfaciale a été étudiée par des techniques (test de traction, analyse thermique mécanique dynamique (DMTA), diffraction des rayons X à grand angle (WAXD), calorimétrie différentielle à balayage (DSC) et microscope électronique à balayage (SEM)). Sur la base des résultats obtenus à partir des techniques mentionnées ci-dessus, la composition la plus appropriée a été produite en fibres bicomposantes trilobées pour les tissus de confort thermique. Des études de simulation ont également été réalisées à l'aide du logiciel Compuplast 3D FEM pour optimiser les paramètres du processus de filage à l'état fondu et produire des fibres bicomposantes trilobées.Le textile fabriqué à partir de ces fibres bicomposantes innovantes montrera un phénomène d'auto-actionnement autonome, auto-responsabilisé et adaptatif à l'environnement. Cela contribuera à atténuer les consommations d'énergie plus élevées des systèmes de chauffage, de refroidissement et de ventilation intérieurs conventionnels et, à terme, à minimiser les consommations d'énergie globales et les problèmes climatiques
This study is part of Interreg European Project between Haute de France and Belgium. The project is called Photonitex. The aim of this project is to develop a personal thermal regulation intelligent textile that dynamically controls skin temperature. This work was done in collaboration between Centre Européen des Textiles Innovants (CETI) and School National Superior of Textile Arts and Industries (ENSAIT).The objective of this thesis is to develop a bicomponent fibers for thermal comfort textile. The literature review was done to select the most suitable polymer materials that are commonly used in textile industry. In addition, based on the literature review, the design of the trilobal bicomponent fibers was finalized to realize the dynamic thermal comfort textile. Moreover, used polymer materials must exhibit hydrophilic difference to achieve the dynamic thermal properties in fabrics. The inner material of this bicomponent trilobal fiber must be more hydrophilic than the outer material. PA6 and PA6-6 were selected as hydrophilic core and PET hydrophobic outer material for trilobal bicomponent filaments. However, PA6 and PA6-6 are incompatible and immiscible to PET. The major challenge to achieve the desired bicomponent fibers is to acquire a sufficient adhesion at the interface to avoid the pre-splitting or separation between these two polymer materials. In order to improve their miscibility at the interface PA12 was added in PA6 and PA6-6 at 5, 10, 15% wt % via polymer compounding process. In order to produce trilobal bicomponent filament via coextrusion melt spinning process, rheological behavior of the used polymer materials play an important role. To select the most suitable materials for trilobal bicomponent fiber, rheological studies were conducted on pure and polymer blends using capillary rheometer. In addition, hydrophilic properties of each polymer and their blends were also tested on knitted fabrics with contact angle and wicking measurements. To evaluate the effect of PA12 on PET and PA6 interfacial adhesion, bicomponent PET/PA6 sheath/core fibers were produced via melt spinning process and interfacial adhesion was investigated through techniques (tensile test, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), Wide Angle Xray Diffraction (WAXD), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)). Based on the obtained results from the above mentioned techniques, the most suitable composition was produced in trilobal bicomponent fibers for thermal comfort fabrics. Simulation studies were also performed using Compuplast 3D FEM software to optimize the melt spinning process settings and produce trilobal bicomponent fibers.The textile made out of such innovative bicomponent fibers will show a self-actuation phenomenon are autonomous, self-empowered, and adaptive to the environment. This will help to mitigate the higher energy consumptions by conventional indoor heating, cooling, and ventilation systems and eventually minimizes the global energy consumptions and climate issues

Abstract:
Au cours des dix dernières années, les nanostructures photoniques ont représenté un paradigme pour le contrôle des radiations thermiques, offrant un panel de propriétés passionnantes pour les applications énergétiques. En raison de leurs capacités à contrôler et à gérer les ondes électromagnétiques à l'échelle de la longueur d'onde dans l’infrarouge moyen (Mid-IR), les nanostructures photoniques ont démontré leur capacité à gérer les propriétés des radiations thermiques d'une manière radicalement différente des émetteurs thermiques conventionnels. Les progrès fondamentaux du contrôle du rayonnement thermique ont conduit à différentes applications dans le domaine de l'énergie, comme les dispositifs thermophotovoltaïques ou à travers le concept de refroidissement radiatif diurne pour diminuer passivement la température des installations terrestres. Récemment, un autre domaine d'application est apparu dans le contrôle du rayonnement thermique, avec l'introduction de nanostructures photoniques dans les textiles. Le but de la thèse est d’étudier différentes membranes photoniques passives qui modulent le rayonnement optique du corps humain dans l’IR moyen pour assurer la thermorégulation individuelle. Pour cela, nous avons étudié les propriétés optiques de membranes polymères, en fonction de leur structuration. Nous avons montré que la membrane photonique est capable de moduler l'amplitude de transmission de 28% au profit ou au dépend de l'absorption et de la réflexion. Nous avons déterminé le bilan thermique entre le corps humain et le milieu environnant à travers la membrane photonique, en tenant compte des mécanismes de rayonnement, de convection et de conduction. Nous avons trouvé que la température de la peau est supérieure de presque 2 °C lorsque le corps humain est revêtu d'une membrane photonique structurée. Cette étude a été réalisée à partir de calculs analytiques et de codes de simulation numérique par la méthode des éléments finis (FEM). L’étude numérique a été accompagnée par des expériences de fabrication en salle blanche à l’IEMN et de caractérisation par spectroscopie infra rouge (FTIR) à l’école d’ingénieur HEI
For the past ten years, photonic nanostructures have represented a paradigm for the control of thermal radiations, offering a panel of exciting properties for energy applications. Because of their abilities to control and manage electromagnetic waves at the Mid-Infrared (Mid-IR) wavelength scale, photonic nanostructures demonstrate their ability to manage thermal radiations properties in a way drastically different from conventional thermal emitters. The fundamental advances in controlling thermal radiation led to different applications in the energy domain, as thermo photovoltaic devices or through the concept of daytime radiative cooling to passively decrease the temperature of terrestrial structures. Recently, another field of application has appeared in the thermal radiation control, with the introduction of photonic nanostructures in textiles for personal thermoregulation. The goal of the thesis is to study different passive photonic membranes that modulate the human body optical radiations in the Mid-IR for personal thermoregulation. We have investigated the optical properties of different polymer membranes, considering the effect of their structuration. We showed that a photonic crystal membrane is able to modulate the transmission coefficient by 28% in benefit or deficit of both the absorption and reflection. We analyzed the thermal balance between the human body and the indoor environment through the photonic membrane, considering the radiation, convection and conduction mechanisms. We found that the temperature of the skin is almost 2°C higher when the human body is clothed with a structured membrane. The study was carried out on analytical calculations and numerical simulation with the help of the finite element method (FEM). The numerical study was supported by experiments in fabrication in the IEMN cleaning room and in characterization by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) at the HEI engineering school

Abstract:
Advancement in nanotechnology brings a revolutionary change in the field of textile finishing. Textile finishing is a chemical or a mechanical process to impart functional properties to the textile to provide comfort for wearer. Today’s textile manufacturers focus on the manufacture of smart and functional textiles that are equipped with antifouling, anti-wrinkle, crease-resistant, water-repellent, flame-retardant, and soil-repellent properties for consumers’ safety and well-being. A wide variety of functional chemical finishes are available in the market to meet the ongoing challenges in the textile sector. Nano-emulsions significantly contribute to a wide variety of functional finishes to provide advanced hi-tech applications for present and future textile consumers. Both natural and synthetic polymers have been utilized for the synthesis of functional finishes by employing polymeric nano-emulsions on cotton, wool polyester fiber as well as textile. Thus, nano-emulsions provide an inherent property to textile and stimulate the economic growth of functional textile market.

Abstract:
When an astronaut transitions out of the weightless environment of space (e.g., landing on Earth, Mars, or the Moon), they can experience balance and co-ordination issues due to sensorimotor dysfunction. This paper details the development of the base layer garment for a Sensorimotor Countermeasure Skinsuit (SMCS), and test ideas to improve comfort and mobility through considered patternmaking techniques. A Version 1 (V1) SMCS base layer was made-to-measure for one participant. The garment was assessed for comfort and mobility through a series of tests: sit and reach (S&R), active range-of-motion (ROM) joint angles, and timed up and go (TU&G), etc. The SMCS V1 caused a restriction to mobility, and scored high discomfort ratings, when compared to a baseline of loose gym clothing. A Version 2 (V2) SMCS base layer was developed with an objective of improving upon the discomfort and mobility ratings. The SMCS V2 base layer garment was assessed and was found to have improved discomfort ratings (= ‘Minor discomfort if worn all day’) when compared to the SMCS V1 (≥ ‘Too uncomfortable to wear all day’). The SMCS V2 base layer garment was found to have improved mobility during S&R tests and TU&G tests when compared to the results from SMCS V1. The SMCS V2 base layer garment was also found to have improved active ROM during shoulder extension, shoulder abduction, hip flexion, and knee flexion, when compared to the SMCS V1. However, active ROM decreased during hip-extension and hip-abduction.The results of this study can be used to advance the design of compression garments that are used within the sports and medical industries.

Abstract:
A strong and current research concern aims at the development of sustainable processes and products made from natural materials, such as natural fabrics and natural dyes. Ecological dyeing with natural dyes is a topical issue in the field of textile finishing. Currently, the role of finishing in textile dyeing has become increasingly demanding, requiring a careful balance between the compatibility of different finishing products and the application of the processes used, having the purpose of offering textiles important comfort characteristics. In this context, the problem to be solved concerns finding the balance regarding the compatibility of textile materials with different finishing products and processes used for this purpose. The experimental research carried out in this paper aims at analysing the parameters of thermosphysiological comfort in case of linen and hemp fabrics after the dyeing process with natural dyes Madder Rubia, Logwood, Weld, Cochenille, Chlorophylle. The paper suggests the development of a software system composed of an online MySQL database server, and a desktop application, running on the Windows operating system, developed on the .NET platform, using the C # programming language. This software system aims at storing and determining comfort features such as resistance to vapor passage, resistance to air passage, by saving and using the necessary values through the database created. The database is designed in such a way that it can be extended to other types of textiles and dyes, as well as to other experimental values for comfort features. The final results will appear in the "data" table for the observation, interpretation and choice by users, in order to be used for developing sustainable clothing products. The software system was created both with the purpose of calculating and storing the experimental results obtained, in order to be used by researchers, students and specialists in the field, as well as of finding fabrics dyed with natural dyes, which are optimal in choosing the best options to be suggested for the development of textile products in a sustainable and ecological context. At the same time, this software system can be used both in research activities the results of which would result in the obtainment of sustainable products, and as an e-learning tool in teaching-learning activities.

Abstract:
Supplemental heating systems for the distal extremities often require a tradeoff between wearability and thermal comfort. Textile-based thermal actuation helps manage this tradeoff by increasing comfort of on-body systems. However, textile-based thermal actuation also presents important limitations in the form of current requirements, control structures, and thermal flux afforded. Further, on-body active thermal control is affected by three intersecting thermal systems: the environment, the human body, and the active heating system. Here, we present lessons learned from iterative development of textile-based wearable systems (V1, V2) designed to heat the distal extremities. Experimental characterization of textile actuator power/temperature relationships and limits; actuator performance in cool ambient temperatures and in on-body conditions; and efficacy of closed-loop duty cycle control of actuated skin temperature are presented, and implications of these characteristics for garment system design are discussed.

Abstract:
One of the most important applications of textile materials is in the medical textile industry. This new field is a combination of textile technology and medical sciences with several functional applications. Nowadays, due to the increase in the aging population and hazards of human activities such as traffic accidents, chemical injuries, diseases, sports, etc., the demand for textile-based medical devices has grown rapidly. These parameters have led to the rapid development of the medical textiles market by using novel materials, techniques, and technologies to produce advanced textile-based materials as medical devices [1]. For surgical applications, implantable and topical biotextiles are now readily available and offer a wide range of structural complexities and advantages. They can be designed to perform multiple functions, including maintaining comfort and hygiene, preventing injury and infection, treating injury and disease, and even replacing injured tissue. Examples include vascular grafts, heart valves, ligaments, hernia meshes, and hemostatic dressings. These applications require careful consideration of biocompatibility and biostability. The desired properties of biotextiles vary depending on the application. Biodegradable or bioabsorbable textiles are important for devices that serve temporary functions, such as injury repair. These properties are influenced by the manufacturing process of the biotextiles, including the choice of material or polymer, as well as the structural design of the engineered textiles [2]. The paper presents an interactive learning tool that enables textile PhD students to approach the interdisciplinary field of medical devices and the associated technologies used to manufacture them. The learning content is supported by technical specifications of fabrics, specific applications, textile technologies, various product examples. This online guide is designed to familiarise the reader with textile fabrics and enhance their knowledge in developing new products. A challenge for the learner is to become familiar with and consolidate technical data on yarns, fabric structures, and properties of medical devices. The interactive e-learning tools presented in this paper represent the result of the process of innovation of the working methods applied in the knitting laboratory of the Faculty of Textiles, Leather and Industrial Management of Iasi, within "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi.

Abstract:
Abstract: The course of ''Comfort and function of clothing and leather products'' delivered at Faculty of Textiles, Leather and Industrial Management, is dealing with the thermo-functional design of the clothing, which is a complex approach. The paper proposes a software application, the use of which facilitates the thermo-functional design of the clothing and can be exploit as a tool in teaching activity, as well in research activities (http://www.moodle.tex.tuiasi.ro). For the calculations, two groups of factors were taken into account: factors related to the destination (environmental factors and the state of the body) and factors related to the textile materials that are part of the analyzed clothing. The two groups of factors are synthesized in two thermo physiological indicators: the total heat transfer coefficient imposed by Kimp [Kcal/m2hoC] and the total heat transfer coefficient calculated on the basis of the Kcalc [Kcal/m2hoC] textile materials. A clothing product is considered thermo-functional when the Kimps - Kcalc difference is lower or the ideal case when the two indices have equal values. The calculations follow algorithms specific to the field of thermo physiological comfort and require high work and time. Two options are available for the users after opening the application, envisaging the two mentioned indicators. The application is conceived with the possibility of memorizing the working steps, as well as with the possibility of modifying them. Another advantage of the application is that starting from the knowledge of certain values of the textile materials characteristics, the thermo- physiological evaluation of the product clothing can be achieved.

Abstract:
This study presents the applicability of ergonomics in clothing for bodies in transformation, namely for elderly women aged 65 and over. The proposal focused on an audience that deserves attention with regard to a design product for everyday use, namely clothing that is suitable for a new physical constitution. The purpose of this article is to present the ergonomic, technical and aesthetic factors, considering the physical, psychological and social needs of this target group, for the development of clothing products. Considering the identified needs, materials and methods were suggested for the development of models with specific particularities, appropriate to the real condition of these elderly women. In addition to the bibliographic research carried out, specific methods were used to collect anthropometric measurements, surveys were implemented, and direct observation was also carried out with the target group. The results obtained demonstrated that the methods and techniques applied in the development of a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing clothing were effective, having been observed that the ergonomic variable of comfort was the one that most impacted at the time of the product development process. It was possible to conclude that the complete assessment of body transformation contributed significantly to the development of clothing with characteristics of comfort and protection that respond to the needs of this segment of the population.

Abstract:
Temperature is an important influencer of homeostatic comfort for humans, and its influence extends beyond life-preservation functions into cognitive and emotional effects. To augment metabolic processes in cold climates, many on-body heating solutions are currently available in the commercial market, ranging from chemical heat packs to electrically heated accessories and clothing. These products typically prioritize heating the body core in extreme conditions. By contrast, the experience of thermal comfort in the band around homeostatic comfort temperatures is much more strongly driven by experience of temperature in the body’s periphery: the hands, feet, and face [1]. Thermal sensitivity is highest in the distal extremities and has been established as the best correlate of overall perception of thermal comfort [2], [3]. In the medical context, this is especially significant in treating vasospastic disorders such as Raynaud’s Syndrome, where a spastic vascular response in peripheral vessels results in an over-reaction to cold temperatures proximal to the thermoneutral zone [4].

Abstract:
Abstract Convection, diffusion, and phase change processes influence heat and mass transfer through textile materials used in clothing systems. For example, water in a hygroscopic porous textile may exist in vapor or liquid form in the pore spaces or in bound form when it has been absorbed by the solid phase, which is typically some kind of hydrophilic polymer. Phase changes associated with water include liquid evaporation/condensation in the pore spaces and sorption/desorption from hydrophilic polymer fibers. Certain materials such as encapsulated paraffins may also be added to textiles; these materials are designed to undergo a solid-liquid phase change over temperature ranges near human body temperature, which influences the perceived comfort of clothing. Additional factors such as the swelling of the solid polymer due to water imbibition, and the heat of sorption evolved when the water is absorbed by the polymeric matrix, can all be incorporated into the appropriate conservation and transport equations describing heat and mass transfer through clothing layers. These physical factors, nonlinear material properties, and complex multiphase flows make the task of modeling and predicting levels of protection and comfort of various clothing designs difficult and elusive. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has proven to be useful at several levels of material and system modeling to evaluate and design protective clothing systems and material components. This paper summarizes current and past work aimed at utilizing CFD techniques for protective clothing applications.
