Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims at developing conceptual and methodological tools in order toadapt sound within the textile design area. Occupational groups working with soundare to a large extent problem driven. Accordingly, textile designers working withsound- affecting properties of textiles concentrate on their dampening qualities. Theambition with this research project is to make suggestions how textile designers canwork practically with textile sound design, in a more nuanced way.The overall aim of the thesis is to develop a vocabulary to make textile designersable to express the sound affecting qualities of textiles in a language full of nuances.As a starting-point the thesis briefl y describes commonly used methods andprocesses used to describe the expressiveness of a design, followed by a morethoroughly analyze of the textile design process illustrated by a practical example.These studies constitute a foundation to make it possible to see in what way thesemethods and processes will be affected when sound is added as new design tool.By studies of two sound design models, the fi rst attempts to develop a vocabularyconcerning how to describe sound affecting qualities of a textile are developed.Research focusing on language issues, especially on the development of conceptualtools done at the research institute CRESSON, provides descriptive soundconcepts, “sound effects”, embracing the interaction between human and his soundenvironment. These concepts are followed by a model of how to describe just asound or “sound object” in “itself” (not in relation to anything else), developed byPierre Schaeffer. These theoretical models have been complemented with empiricalstudies in form of a survey, named LISTEN. Interviews were performed from aphenomenological perspective. A number of informants were asked to tell aboutthe sound environment and single sounds occurring at their working places. Theinterviews were interpreted from a phenomenographic perspective. A number ofdesign projects are fi nally presented as practical examples of different ways to workwith textiles and sound.The theoretical models provided by Schaeffer have been used to make the fi rstsystematic attempts to describe sound environments; sounds and textiles soundaffecting properties.Since the model presented by Schaeffer is developed to be used within musicalcomposition the concepts have to be additionally modifi ed to be a useful tool withinthe textile design area. The thesis presents just the fi rst attempts to use this model.The next step to take in the research project is to adjust the theoretical systems ofCRESSON and Schaeffer to suit the special area of textile design. The interactiveideas of a sound-affecting textile will also be a subject of further development.

Full textAbstract:
Textiles of today are materials with applications in almost all our activities. We wear clothes all the time and we are surrounded with textiles in almost all our environments. The integration of multifunctional values in such a common material has become a special area of interest in recent years. Smart Textile represents the next generation of textiles anticipated for use in several fashion, furnishing and technical textile applications. The term smart is used to refer to materials that sense and respond in a pre-defined manner to environmental stimuli. The degree of smartness varies and it is possible to enhance the intelligence further by combining these materials with a controlling unit, for example a microprocessor. As an interdisciplinary area Smart Textile includes design spaces from several areas; the textile design space, the information technology design space and the design space of material science. This thesis addresses how Smart Textiles affect the textile design space; how the introduction of smart materials and information technology affects the creation of future textile products. The aim is to explore the convergence between textiles, smart materials and information technology and to contribute to providing a basis for future research in this area. The research method is based on a series of interlinked experiments designed through the research questions and the research objects. The experiments are separated into two different sections: interactive textile structures and health monitoring. The result is a series of basic methods for how interactive textile structures are created and a general system for health monitoring. Furthermore the result consists of a new design space, advanced textile design. In advanced textile design the focus is set on the relation between the different natures of a textile object: its physical structure and its structure in the context of design and use.

Full textAbstract:
Studien undersöker möjligheten att använda ledande partiklar bestående av silver- belagda kopparflingor, för att tillverka konduktiva ledningsbanor på textilsubstrat. Syftet med denna studie har varit att tillverka de banorna med hjälp av screentryck- teknik. Sammansättningen av beläggningsformuleringen har en stor inverkan på den be- lagda textilen och de ledande egenskaperna. Pastan bereddes genom att utvärdera den optimala kombinationen av pigmentpartikelstorleken genom att använda två olika partikelstorlekar. De partikelstorlekar som används i detta arbete är 42μm och 4μm med en variation i silverhalten från 4μ2 m med 10 % till den 4μm med 25% silver. Bindemedlet som används är en akrylatpasta som vanligtvis används för screentryck av färgpigment på textila material. Pastan används också som en pri- mer för den konduktiva beläggningen. Primern förbättrar vidhäftningen till tyget och gör beläggningen mer flexibel samt minska mängden ledande pigment som krävs för att ytan ska få goda konduktiva egenskaper eftersom ytan blir slätare. Bredden på den konduktiva beläggningen är en faktor som påverkar resistiviteten hos konduktiva ledningsbanor, tunnare ledningsbanor har högre resistans och bre- dare lägre resistans. Substratet som används är en monofilamentspolyester i två- skaftsväv med relativt slät yta. Arbetet resulterade i en LED-skylt för att visa de konduktiva ledningsbanorna och möjligheter för en flexibel elektronisk enhet och möjligheterna att realisera till- verkning av konduktiva ledningsbanor på ett textilsubstrat.Engelsk titel: Textile Electronics -Screen-printed conductive pathways on textile materialsEngelska nyckelord: textile electronics, conductive pathways, conductive pigments, smart textiles, coating, screen printingSammanfattning på engelska: This thesis is a study investigating the possibility using conductive pigments, a silver coated copper flake, to manufacture conductive pathways on textile substrate. The objective of this study has been to manufacture the pathways using screen-printing technology. The composition of the coating formulation will have a large impact on the coated textile and the conductive properties. The paste was formulated by evaluating the optimal combination of pigment particle size by using two different particle sizes. The particle sizes used in this paper is 42μm and 4μm with a variation in the silver content from 42μm and 10% to 4μm and 25% silver. The binder used is an acrylic, ready-made polymer paste commonly used for screen printing colour pigments on textiles. The acrylic polymer paste is also used as a primer for the coating. The primer should improve adhesion to the fabric and makes the coating more flexible. The primer should reduce the amount of conductive pigments as the surface of the substrate is smoother and thus influence the conductivity of the printed patterns manufactured from the conductive paste. The size of the conductive trace is a factor that influences the resistivity of the conductive trace, thinner pathways have higher resistance and wider pathways have lower resistance. The substrate used is monofilament polyester, plain weave. The work resulted in an LED-lamp sign to demonstrate the conductive pathways and the possibilities for a flexible electronic device and the potential to solve tProgram: Textilingenjörsutbildningen

Full textAbstract:
This master thesis studies the recycling prospects of textiles. The textile industry contributes negatively to the global environmentthrough the release of greenhouse gases and consumption of resources. In order to achieve a circular textile industry, textiles must be recyclable by both chemical and mechanical means. Here, the focus is on mechanical extraction of staple fibres, particularly cotton, for reentry into yarn production. Experiments show that used, but undamaged, cotton sateen and cotton twill responds differently to abrasion with stochastic surfaces. Previous studies on the conventional shredding processes have shown positive impact from lubricants on extracted fibre lengths, by reducing inter-fibre friction. In the present study on abrasion, variables such as alignment of the weave pattern, lubrication and load are shown to have little to no impact on extracted fibre length, but notable effects on overall fibre quality. These analyses are supported by manual length assessment, electron micrographs and tensile tests using load cells. Furthermore, simple tests and observations on structured diamond surfaces constructed through chemical vapor deposition are promising for mechanical fibre release directly from a woven fabric. Suggestions are made on continued research in this field.

Worbin, Linda. "Designing dynamic textile patterns." Doctoral thesis, Högskolan i Borås, Institutionen Textilhögskolan, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hb:diva-3550.
Full textAbstract:
Designing Dynamic Textile Patterns Progress in chemistry, fibres and polymers technology provides textile designers with new expressive materials, making it possible to design dynamic textile patterns, where several different expressions are inherent in the same textile, textiles that, for example, could alternate between a striped and checkered pattern. Textiles are traditionally designed and produced to keep a given, static expression during their life cycle; a striped pattern is supposed to keep its stripes. In the same way textile designers are trained to design for static expressions, where patterns and decorations are meant to last in a specific manner. However, things are changing. The textile designer now deals also with a new raw material, a dynamic textile, ready to be further designed, developed and/or programmed, depending on functional context. This transformation in practice is not an easy one for the designers. Designers need to learn how to design with these new materials and their specific qualities, to be able to develop the full expressional potential inherent in “smart textiles design”. The aim of this thesis is to display, and discuss, a methodology for designing dynamic textile patterns. So far, something that mainly has been seen in different experimental and conceptual prototypes, in artistic expressions and for commercial efforts etc. In terms of basic experimental research this thesis explores the turn in textile design practice through a series of design experiments with focus on contributing to identifying and characterizing new design variables, new design methods and new design techniques as a foundation for dynamic textile patterns.Disputationen sker den 1:a juni 2010, kl. 13.00 i Textilmuseet, Druveforsvägen 8, Borås.

Full textAbstract:
Idag förbränns tonvis med textil i Sverige som aldrig har blivit använd. Detta som en effekt av att dagens textilindustri är uppbyggd som en linjär modell där nya råvaror ständigt går in i systemet och avfall lämnar det. Krav ställs nu på nationell nivå i Sverige att textilindustrin måste ställa om och bli cirkulär som en del i att klara klimatmålen. Detta ställer stora krav på svenska företag att hantera det textila restmaterial som uppstår i deras processer på helt nya sätt. För att textilt restmaterial ska kunna bli råvara till en annan produkt behövs nya system och ibland branschöverskridande samarbeten där den enas avfall blir den andres råvara. Denna studie bidrar med insikter om de utmaningar som svenska företag står inför när textila restmaterial ska bli råvara samt hur möjligheter kan tas tillvara genom nätverkande och kunskapsutbyte. Med observationer, en enkät och intervjuer undersöktes textila produktutvecklings- och produktionsföretags behov och hinder för användning av textila restmaterial som råvara. I studien har också de behov av resurser och nätverk företagen har för att kunna öka användandet av textila restströmmar utforskats. Studien visar på att attityden till att samla in textila restströmmar bland producerande företag är positiv och att det finns goda möjligheter för ökad insamling av industriella textila restmaterial med en hög grad av spårbarhet. Den visar också att det för företag som vill använda restmaterial efterlyses möjligheter för effektiv insamling samt bearbetning eller förädling av materialen. Alla delar i värdekedjan behöver ses över och för att möta utmaningen och det finns ett behov av att tänka annorlunda och våga prova nya vägar och samarbeten. Resultatet av denna studie visar på att en plattform för enbart handel av textila restmaterial inte är tillräckligt, företagen behöver också kunna knyta nya kontakter, få se på goda exempel och samverka kring logistiken kring insamling för att uppnå effektivitet.In today’s textile industry, tons of textiles are incinerated every year without being used once. This because the textile industry today is built like a linear system, in which raw materials enter the system and then leave it in the form of waste. Requirements are now set on a national level in Sweden that requires the textile industry to change its direction and become circular as a part of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This poses massive requirements on Swedish textile companies to handle their textile waste material in their processes in new ways. For textile waste material to become the raw material in a new product, new systems are necessary and sometimes cross-industry collaborations are needed. This study aims to contribute with knowledge about the challenges that Swedish textile companies face when textile waste materials are becoming the raw material in new products, and the opportunities to take advantage of through networking and knowledge sharing. With observations, a survey, and semi structured interviews the challenges and opportunities of Swedish textile product developing companies and textile production companies for collecting and using textile waste material was studied. The study also investigates the need for resources and expanded networks that the companies have, to increase the use of textile waste as a raw material. The study shows that the attitude among the production companies to sort and collect their textile waste is positive and that there are great opportunities for an increased collection of textile industrial waste material with a high level of traceability. The study also shows that for the companies that want to use textile waste material as a raw material in their products, new systems for effective collection and processes for refining the materials are asked for. To meet these requirements all parts of the value chain need to be reconsidered and new ways of thinking needs to be applied to try new collaborations and find new paths. The result of the study shows that a platform for just trading materials is not good enough, the companies are also in need of new contacts, inspiration, and solutions for efficient logistics in sorting, collecting, and distributing materials.

Full textAbstract:
Ledningsbanor syftar till att föra ström eller digitala signaler mellan elektroniska komponenter. Traditionellt brukar ledare av solid metall användas, då metall har låg resistans och lämpar sig bra som strömledare. I denna studie utforskas möjlig-heten för olika material att fungera som textila ledningsbanor. Textila ledningsba-nor behövs bland annat i medicinska plagg med sensorer. En ledningsbana som ska vara i ett plagg måste både vara tvättbar och flexibel. I denna studie har tre konduktiva garner testats; Bekinox VN 12/2*275 /175S, Shi-eldex 235/34 och Highflex 3981 7*1 Silver. Ett textilt band med fyra ledningsba-nor i, OHM-e-12-L-1, från företaget Ohmatex har också utvärderats samt har det undersökts om det är möjligt att använda konduktiv silikon, Elastosil LR 3162 A/B, som en ledningsbana. För att ta reda på hur de konduktiva materialen tål tvätt har tvättester utförts där resistansen efter tvätt har mätts. En metod har utvecklats som går ut på att undersöka om konduktiviteten försämras när materialet utsätts för mekaniskt deformation vid en böjrörelse. Det har även testats om en silikonbe-läggning med Dow Corning 3140 RTV Coating kan förhindra en eventuell höjning av resistansen efter testerna och resultaten har jämförts med de prover som inte varit belagda. Beläggningen isolerar även garnerna och därför har även det testats att använda Elastosil som kontaktpunkter för de belagda garnerna. Bekinox klarar både tvätt och böjningstest bra. Shieldex resistans höjs efter tvätt men silikonbeläggningen har en skyddande effekt. Shieldex klarar böjningstestet bra och resistansen ändras knappt. Highflex klarar tvättesterna och har väldigt låg resistans men är känslig mot mekanisk deformation och skadas i böjningstesterna. Där har inte beläggningen en skyddande effekt. Elastosil är inte lämplig som led-ningsbana och fungerar inte som kontaktpunkter. Elastosil visar sig däremot ha god härdighet mot både tvätt och böjning. Bandet från Ohmatex fungerar bra både efter tvätt och böjningstester och är lämplig som ledningsbana.Interconnections are electrical conductive tracks that aim to transport electricity or digital signals between components in a circuit. The conventional way of doing this is to use connections of solid metal, since they have low electrical resistance and are thereby suitable conductors. In this study, different materials have been investigated for their suitability to be used as textile interconnections. Textile in-terconnections are needed in for instance medical measuring equipment garments. A textile interconnection in a garment needs to withstand washing and bending. In this study three conductive yarns are tested; Bekinox VN 12/2*275/175S, Shieldex 235/34 and Highflex 3981 7*1 Silver. A textile interconnection narrow fabric with four copper wires within, OHM-e-12-L-1, by the company Ohmatex has also been investigated. The conductive silicon Elastosil LR 3162 A/B has also been investigated for its suitability to fit as textile interconnection and as electrical contact with conductive yarns. Washing tests have been made to investigate how the materials electrical resistance is affected by washing. To measure and under-stand the materials flexibility and how the resistance is affected by bending of the material, the materials have been bended in a bending apparatus that has been developed in this study. It has also been investigated whether or not a silicon coat-ing, Dow Corning 3140 RTV Coating, of the yarns may protect them from the chemical and mechanical wearing of washing and bending. The change in re-sistance has then been compared to values of the uncoated yarns. Since the coat-ing is electrically isolating the yarns, screen printed contact points of Elastosil has been added and investigated. Bekinox withstands both washing and bending well. The electrical resistance of Shieldex increases by washing, but the silicon coated yarns increase less than the uncoated yarns. Shieldex withstands the bending test well and the change in re-sistance is low. Highflex passes the washing test well and has very low resistance. But the Highflex yarn is sensitive to mechanical deformation and gets damaged by the bending test. The silicon coating has no protecting effect here. Elastosil is not suitable as an interconnection and the contact points by Elastosil are neither working well together with the conductive yarns. But Elastosil do withstands both the washing and bending test well. The conductive narrow fabric by Ohmatex withstands both the washing and bending test well and it is suitable as an inter-connection.

Full textAbstract:
The medical field has been a part of the smart textile area for quite some time. With time come technological advancement and the two fields converge on more and more areas. One such area is that of using textile electrodes, textrodes, for measuring bioelectrical activity, such as heart rate for ECG analysis. There are many components that make for a successful textile electrode and though many studies have been made in the subject there are several aspects that still are difficult. By using textile electrodes the problem with skin irritation from electrolyte gels, commonly used for conventional electrodes, is avoided, however dry textrodes create disturbances in the output signal (heart rate) while subjected to movement and internal dimensional changes. The addition of moisture to a textrode has shown to decrease these intermittent disturbances but the knowledge about fundamental textile structural influence in the matter has not been fully investigated. This study investigates a flat, a 2-thread fleece and an open structure, and their relation to moisture both as textile structures and as textrodes. This way the possibilities of utilising moisture to increase performance in a textrode purpose can be examined and to what extent the textile structure plays a part in that exploitation. The material composition of textile structures also affects their properties The introduction of assistive materials, polyester and viscose, into the Shieldex (conductive yarn) structures is done to test core moisture management properties such as surface tension, absorption and moisture content, and correlate them to electrical properties necessary for textrode function. In the end the gap between textile structure and end product in form of a textrode is closed as the impedance and microclimate of the textrodes are studied. This is mainly to tie together the fundamental textile structures with a complex textile construction. In conclusion the complexity is also confirmed as structural, materialistic and external influences has an impact on the results. The influence of moisture on lowered resistance and impedance in the structures is confirmed but the impact of textile structure can also be seen. The 2-thread fleece and open structures often has a more positive impact on results and therefore has the possibility of enhancing performance of a textrode for bioelectrical signal monitoring. With these results a more effective way of producing long-lasting, patient-friendly, textrodes can be derived and in the future lead to better care in the medical areas.

Full textAbstract:
The study is focused on the roles and principles of textiles, textile manipulation and its potential relationship with landscape architecture. Tactility bonds the two worlds of fashion and landscape together. It changes in scale, intimacy and movement. The study explores how textiles perform in relation to the following principles; movement, climate, reaction, light, transformation, scale and communication. The etymology of the word TEXTILE is derived from the Latin 'texre' meaning to weave or to construct. The word text is related to communication and the word 'tek' is related to building or architecture. The study has been conducted via various different media upon a range of different materials. These consist of film and media, light and shadow studies, projections, etching and transferring of textures, pattern cutting, stitching, and the making of paper and textile from plant material, to name a few. The act of textile manipulation and the product of these techniques is then used in the conventional site analysis that a landscape architect would conduct. These techniques being, a pleat, knot, veil, seam, weave, drape, dart and skirt. Each of these are broken down into their structural, functional and landscape roles. For example, a Veil is structurally light and semi opaque. Functionally it is aimed at concealing that which is behind it, yet it is not completely enclosed, thus revealing the object behind. In landscape design, a veil can be translated into a row or cluster of trees that is aimed at concealing objects in the background. Taking this process, a step further, these textile manipulation terms are then translated into verbs. These verbs of weaving, pleating, knotting etc. is then used as tools to analyze the site and its context in context of the act -of textile manipulation itself. From this, the area of study is broken up into pattern pieces. This unlocks a new perspective on how each of these pieces' work -or do not work- together. This then begin to set out a set of opportunities and constraints for the site and its surroundings. Are there potential seams or connections that have not yet been realized? Are there opportunities in the converging topographic darts?. As previously mentioned many of the design principles and ideas we know in architecture have been influenced and have influenced textiles and fashion. This study is focused on the act of textile manipulation and the properties of different materials.

Full textAbstract:
The manufacturing and characterisation of piezoelectric textile fibres are described in this thesis. A piezoelectric material is one that generates an electric voltage when deformed, a property which exists in a number of materials. The polymer with the strongest known piezoelectric effect today is poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), however it must be processed under certain conditions to become piezoelectric. This study shows that piezoelectric bicomponent PVDF-based fibres can be produced by melt spinning, which is a common and relatively simple fibre spinning method. The melt spinning process must include cold drawing, as this introduces a polar crystalline structure in the polymer. The fibres must also be electroded, which is done by producing bicomponent fibres with a core-and-sheath structure. The core is electrically conductive and constitutes an inner electrode consisting of a carbon black/polymer compound, whereas the sheath is PVDF and constitutes the piezoelectric component. Being sensitive to both deformation and temperature changes, these fibres are anticipated to be useful in a number of sensor applications. The flexibility and small size of the fibres makes it possible to include them as miniature-sensors in structures or garment without affecting the shape or comfort.

Full textAbstract:
The consumption of textiles is increasing more and more, meanwhile there are vigorous efforts both from the textile industry and controlling companies to promote sustainable consumption. A significant amount of textiles discarded in household waste, which is an untapped resource that should be taken advantage of. Two methods to use textile waste is to reuse and recycling it. The reuses of textile materials are today well developed in Sweden, however, there are currently no existing system for recycling textiles. The purpose of this study is to investigate Borås Stad’s textile waste and the textile recycling. The reason I chose Borås is because the city has an old history in the Swedish textile industry and today strives to be in top of the textile innovations. The methods being used in this study are a literature studies and a interview. Borås Stad actively works to encourage the citizens to reuse and recycle their textile waste. The opportunity to recycle textiles is today only in the special collecting boxes.

Full textAbstract:
Presently, designing with living systems such as insects, fungi and bacteria has become an area of extended interest, proposing collaborative processes of designing and manufacturing - as a solution for symbiotic ways of living. On the scale of the interior, modern systems for interior gardening, combining both functional, e.g., food supply, purifying the air, and aesthetic values, experience exceptional popularity, ensuring a complementary perspective on horticultural landscapes indoors. As a result, the spaces where people live and crops grow increasingly intersect and therefore open up for developments that bridge both areas and where aesthetic perspectives become equally important. However, modern indoor gardening systems are shaped by commercial horticultural practices, bringing reservoirs such as buckets, tubs or tanks, mostly built of plastic, into the homes. Textile Farming aims to explore alternative forms of plant organisation by blending seeds and textile structures into a hybrid material for textile interior scenarios. Consequently the materials’ performative capacity becomes part of the textile design process. A foundational part are forms of human management, e.g. activation of the seeds, maintenance of the plants, interaction with the hybrid textile structures within and beyond interiors, that leads to experiences and expressions. By practice based design research and through a series of design examples that explore the transformative potential of seeds in textile structures, alternative forms of plant organisation and methods for the textile design process lead to scenarios that propose alternatives to how we live with and organise plants today.ArcInTexETN

Full textAbstract:
The primary goal of this study is to investigate the combination of concrete merged with textiles. Furthermore, it investigates exchanging the characteristics of these contrasting materials. Consequently, the work shows the reciprocal influence of both textile and concrete to each other. The resulting final collection presents six pieces with the main intention to present different expressions of flexibility. These appear through the interaction of textile and concrete, with the textile providing the flexibility. Depending on the precise characteristics of the used textiles, the flexibility can be shown through the tension in a fabric, the ability to be squeezed or the movement. A subsequent range of experiments investigates techniques, methods and material qualities to prove, that the required effects of the end result can be fulfilled. The crucial factors are the textile materials, the connection between concrete and textile and the treatment of the resulting surface or object. Depending on which way the crucial components are fused, a variety of expressions in the results can be accomplished. These can be described as rather organic through to geometric, and also depends whether the piece is in motion. The outcomes provide an overview of design possibilities, of incorporating such contrasting materials to create different properties and unexpected characteristics in each piece. Based on the final results, it can be concluded that the major objective, to explore design possibilities through a reciprocal interaction of textile and concrete, gives a strong and impressive expression. The approach of this relatively broad research is nevertheless important for the textile field. Therefore, it suggests further exploration, using the results as a foundation and narrow it down by focusing on specific factors.

Full textAbstract:
Textile materials and textile design are a part of countless products in our surroundings, as well as of diverse design fields and industries, with very different material traditions and working methods. Textile materials and industry have undergone many changes during recent decades, in terms of how and where textiles are produced, and what textiles can be and do; in much the same way, the design practices that textiles are involved in have also developed. What these diverse and evolving design contexts in which textiles are involved in have in common is that textile materials and textile design decisions somehow meet the rest of the design during a design process. The aim of this thesis is to add to our understanding of the relationship between textiles and products in the design process, and to explore the roles that textile design plays when designing textile products, the roles they can come to play when textiles become more complex and offer new means of functionality and expressiveness, for example through smart textile technology. This thesis presents two types of result: Firstly, descriptions of textile product design processes that highlight the wide range of roles that textiles can play in the textile product design processes of today, accentuate how textile materials and design decisions can influence both what can be designed and the design process, and describe some of the additional complexities that come with designing and designing with smart textiles. These examples are presented in the appended papers, and are the outcome of an observation of students who were designing textile products and collaborative, practice-based design research projects. Secondly, this thesis presents a theoretical framework which aims to offer a broad perspective on the relationship between textile design and the product design process, with the intention of opening up for reflection on how we design, and can design, with textiles. The framework focuses on how textile design decisions and textile materials participate in the process, and to what degree they influence the development of the design; this includes methods, questions, etc. that can be used to explore and define this dynamic. One of the main points of the framework is the importance of the textile influence in textile product design processes; the specific qualities of textiles as a design material - the considerations, possibilities, and challenges, which influence both the design of the product and the process of designing it. This includes not only the textiles in the final design, but also the textiles that, in other ways, feature in this process.

The thesis aims at developing conceptual and methodological tools in order to adapt sound in a “designerly” way within the discipline textile design. Occupational groups working with sound are to a large extent problem driven. This implies knowledge regarding sound and sound design mostly focuses on defensive strategies, not creative possibilities. The ambition with this research project is to make suggestions how textile designers can work practically with textile sound design, in a more nuanced way. /br As a starting point the thesis describes commonly used methods and processes used in the design process within an industrial context, followed by a more thorough analyze of the textile design process. These studies constitute a foundation to make it possible to see in what way these methods and processes will be affected when sound is added as new design tool./br By studies of two sound design models, the first attempts to develop a vocabulary concerning how to describe sound affecting qualities or sound expression of a textile are presented. Research focusing on language issues, especially on the development of conceptual tools done at the research institute Cresson, provides descriptive concepts, “sound effects”, embracing the interaction between human and his sound environment. These concepts are followed by a model of how to describe a “sound object” in “itself” (not in relation to anything else), developed by Pierre Schaeffer./br The theoretical models have been applied on the outcome of an phenomenological study named Describe. A number of design examples are finally presented as methodological examples of different ways to work with textiles and sound./br Keywords: sound, design, textile design, sound effect, sound object.Thesis to be defended in public at 24 May 2011 at 13.00, at the Gallary floor 2, The Swedish School of Textiles, Bryggaregatan 17, Borås, for the degree of Philosophy.

Full textAbstract:
Designing with non-visual attributes challenges ways of representation. This research explores methods for designing with invisible materiality within the research practice, as well as ways of representation through textiles when designing spaces. Exploring textiles and smells within a space, the research program investigates spatial interactions. This research focuses on designing embodied experiences using tangible materials as expressions of smells. Through the spatial installations and performances Sight of smell, Touch of smell, and Smell, space, and body movement, haptics were explored as one of the methods of interaction with smells through textiles. Through the sense of touch, this research also investigates ways of revealing, activating, and disseminating smells within a space. Smells were purposely added through the methods of dyeing, coating, and printing to the textile materials that did not inherently embody any smells, As a result, tactile surfaces create non-visual expressions of smell. Further ideas of research in this area would explore another perspective of designing with smells in spaces. As an example, by designing textiles being smell absorbers, dividers, and re ectors, could compliment the spatial concepts and deals with the already existing smells in a living environment. In this licentiate thesis thinking through the olfactive dimension to design textiles is not only novel for the textile design eld; but also, its proposal for application in the spatial design is quite unique, and o ers a new dimension for spatial design.Horizon 2020 MSCA ITN

Full textAbstract:
Electrically conductive fabrics are one of the major components of smart textile that attracts a lot of attention by the energy, medical, sports and military industry. The principal contributors to the conductivity of the smart textiles are the intrinsic properties of the fiber, functionalization by the addition of conductive particles and the architecture of fibers. In this study, intrinsic properties of non-woven carbon fabric derived from a novel linear lignin, poly-(caffeyl alcohol) (PCFA) discovered in the seeds of the vanilla orchid (Vanilla planifolia) was investigated. In contrast to all known lignins which comprise of polyaromatic networks, the PCFA lignin is a linear polymer. The non-woven fabric was prepared using electrospinning technique, which follows by stabilization and carbonization steps. Results from Raman spectroscopy indicate higher graphitic structure for PCFA carbon as compared to the Kraft lignin, as seen from G/D ratios of 1.92 vs 1.15 which was supported by a high percentage of graphitic (C-C) bond observed from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Moreover, from the XRD and TEM a larger crystal size (Lc=12.2 nm) for the PCFA fiber was obtained which correlates to the higher modulus and conductivity of the fiber. These plant-sourced carbon fabrics have a valuable impact on zero carbon footprint materials. In order to improve the strength and flexibility of the non-woven carbon fabric, lignin was blended with the synthetic polymer Poly acrylonitrile (PAN) in different concertation, resulting in electrical conductivity up to (7.7 S/cm) on blend composition which is enough for sensing and EMI shielding applications. Next, the design of experiments approach was used to identify the contribution of the carbonization parameters on the conductivity of the fabrics and architecture of the fibers, results show carbonization temperature as the major contributing factor to the conductivity of non-woven fabric. Finally, a manufacturing procedure was develop inspired by the architecture of plant fibers to induce controlled porosity either on the skin or core of fibers which results in stiffness and flexibility in the fibers. Coaxial Electrospinning and Physical foaming (CO2 foaming) techniques were utilized to create the hierarchical fiber architecture. Finite Element model was developed to design for mechanical properties of the bioinspired fiber mesh. Results show the polymers contributes less in a coaxial design as compared to the individual fibers for mechanical properties. This manufacturing method can use for hierarchical functionalization of fibers by adding conductive nanoparticles at different levels of fiber cross-section utilized for sensing applications in sports and medical industry.

The work presented in this thesis investigates through practice a new field of textile design exploring the visual effects of moving light as a continuous time-based medium. Thereby, the textile design pattern reveals its composition, not in one moment of time any more, but in fact over time. The thesis consist of four parts: a solo exhibition at the Textile Museum in Borås from 17th February- 28th March 2015, five posters, an interactive thesis including 48 films (download file) and present thesis book. The artefacts displayed in the thesis show a varying range of examples which explore aesthetical possibilities of how light can be integrated as an active part into textile structures, ranging from weaving to braiding techniques, both hand crafted, as well as industrial produced. Thereby three main groups of experiments: colour flow, rhythm exercise, sound_light experiment explore and discuss a range of different time-based expressions. Thus define and establish relevant new design variables and notions, whilst working with time-based design processes. In the following descriptions of these experiments two forms of writing have been used to describe the experiments. One is purely descriptive, neutral form to describe the experiments as such, whereas text titled Research Diary Notes includes reflections and personal comments on the experiences during work on the experiments. The interactive thesis and the exhibited artefacts are an invitation to view new textiles expressions and are an initial guide on the road toward future time-based design works, particularly in the area of light emitting textiles.Disputationen sker den 17:e mars 2015, kl. 10-12 i Textilmuséet, Textilhögskolan, Skaraborgsvägen 3, Borås.

Full textAbstract:
Today, textile products are designed with a “built-in obsolescence” to only last for a shorttime. The intention of this is to allow or even to encourage the customer to get rid of it assoon as possible and buy a new item. This has led to the discussed matter of increase indemand and hence overconsumption of textiles causing a lack of raw materials. Upcycling oftextile materials is a possible solution to this problem, where textile waste is re-used to makea new product. The purpose of this thesis is to view the penetrating power of upcycling oftextile materials and to define the potential of solely selling upcycled textile products. Up-todatetheoretical data has been collected together with three qualitative interviews withretailers and a manufacturer, all selling upcycled textile products. The potential of solelyselling upcycled textile products lies in the mind of the consumer and the dedication of thevendor. The younger generation makes a challenging potential and the emotional attachmentto the products generated by story telling and surprising factors contribute to this potential.The fact that the textile industry is facing severe challenges is also seen as a potential to covernew and substantial market shares.Textila produkter designas idag med ett inbyggt föråldrande med en kort livstid som syfte.Avsikten med detta är att tillåta eller till och med uppmuntra kunden att tröttna och göra sigav med produkten så snart som möjligt för att därefter köpa en ny. Den här processen harresulterat i det diskuterade ämnet om efterfrågeökning och överkonsumtion av textilier, sominnebär en råvarubrist i textilindustrin. Förädling (upcycling) av textila material är en möjliglösning till det här problemet, då textilavfall återanvänds och görs till en ny produkt. Syftetmed den här uppsatsen är att studera genomslagskraften upcycling av textila material har ochatt genom det kunna definiera vad det finns för potential att enbart sälja upcyclade textilaprodukter. Aktuell teoretisk information har samlats in tillsammans med tre kvalitativaintervjuer med två återförsäljare och en producent av upcyclade textila produkter. Utsikterna iatt enbart sälja upcyclade textila produkter ligger i kundens sinne och hos säljarens hängivelsetill fenomenet. Den yngre generationen utgör en utmanande potentiell målgrupp, och denkänslomässiga relationen till produkten som erhålls genom att förmedla historien bakomprodukten samt produktens överraskningsförmåga innebär möjligheter.

This research has its basis in developments within the field of inductive powering and wireless power transfer, WPT, and more specifically one the branch within this field, which is called magnetic resonance coupling. This principle enables efficient power transfer from a transmitting unit to a receiving unit at a distance of some times the unit diameter. The developments within magnetic resonant coupling are together with the possibilities and challenges of today’s smart textile industry the starting point to investigate a novel textile-based product concept for WPT by combining both technologies. Multiple textile samples, consisting of cotton and electrically conductive copper yarns, were produced by weaving technique, additional assembling of electronic components were performed manually and several measurements were carried out to investigate the sample characteristics and the sample performance in terms of power transfer. The produced samples showed to behave similarly to conventional inductors and were able to transfer power over some distance.

The agriculture and manufacturing sectors have been identified and prioritized by the Zambian government as sectors that could contribute significantly to poverty reduction through industrialization and creation of employment. The cotton textile industry is one such industry that cuts across the two sectors. This research paper focuses on the cotton textile industry in Zambia, with specific emphasis on Mulungushi Textiles Limited that was reopened by the Republican President, His Excellency, Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu in August 2016 after having been closed for about a decade. To this end, the main objective of the research paper is to analyze the economic viability of revamping Mulungushi Textiles Limited by focusing on determinants of viability which included; production cost, government policies and strategies, and institutional arrangements, among others. The study analyzes mainly qualitatively both primary and secondary data. Primary data was principally sourced through interviews and observations, while secondary data was through online and physical sources such as books, reports and other written publications. From the research findings, Mulungushi Textiles Limited factory machinery is obsolete and dilapidated to fully operationalize the business strategic units of ginning, spinning, weaving, dyeing and printing, garment production and cooking oil processing. The study recommends that the factory should undergo a complete overhaul in the long run and in the short run, resume garment production which was identified to be a low hanging fruit. The study concludes that, with the right investment, policies, strategies and concerted efforts from both the public and private sectors, revamping Mulungushi Textiles Limited is economically viable and has great potential to contribute to the government's efforts in promoting inclusive growth through poverty reduction, particularly in rural areas where poverty is mostly prevalent.

Full textAbstract:
This project combines industrial tuft with handmade embroidery in order to explore various combinations of textured surfaces, materials and colors. The purpose is to investigate a meeting between craft and design by focusing on the encounter between the compact and the loose, the assembly of materials, as well as variations in levels and heights. The works are mainly based on recycled materials. Three textiles pieces were designed: a First Piece focuses on the meeting between craft and design; the Second Piece relates to different textures and the Third Piece addresses growth. The combination of hand embroidery and tufting create diversity and nuances in expressions, forms and textures. The small-scale of hand-embroidery permits the use of materials difficult or impossible to handle in machines and thus break the monotony of tuft. Through the tufting technique, larger compact pieces are produced that have depth and are sound-absorbent. This project aims to create a bridge between craft and design in the field of textile design.

With continuing advancements in the area of electronics, there are more ways in which they are utilized in order to improve the lives of humans. These advancements have to led to the incorporation of electronic components into fabric structures, creating electronic textiles (e-textiles). As it has become possible to place small electrical components within clothing without the performance of the electronics being hampered, research has been conducted in the use of e-textiles in measuring aspects of the human body, such as the heart rate and perspiration rate. In the area of skin temperature, research has been conducted in the past using e-textiles for skin temperature measurement, but past efforts have been unsuccessful in incorporating useable temperature sensors into a fabric substrate. This study compared three types of sensors incorporated into woven and knitted fabrics, using insulated thermocouples, un-insulated thermocouples, and resistance temperature directors (RTDs). Three incorporation methods (weaving, interlacing into knit, and stitching) were used in six fabric samples, with the three sensor types woven and stitched into three woven fabric samples, while the sensors were interlaced into knitted fabric and stitched into the three knitted samples. Fabric hand washing and temperature measurement tests were conducted, and the temperature readings were analyzed statistically for comparison. The analysis conducted showed that the thermocouples that were interlaced or stitched onto the knitted fabric samples were best for temperature measurement due to their accuracy and durability, while the RTDs were unusable as a temperature sensor, as the removal of the electrical connectors during washing eliminated the calibration that was established before washing. This research was supported in part by the Institute for Environmental Research at Kansas State University.

A partir de ces résultats, une nouvelle classification de la matière première est proposée. La limite de filabilité de notre matière est de 1 0 tex à 10,7 tex en fonction du type de filature. Par ailleurs nous avons montré que le procédé à compactage est le plus adapté pour la production de fils de cachemire de faible titrage.

The statistical analysis showed that the influence exerted by the goat breed, gender and age on the fiber fineness and specific energy at rupture was significant. The new classification of raw cashmere was proposed thanks to the results of the statistical analysis. The spinnability of the Mongolian cashmere was 10 Tex for the compact yams and 10. 7 Tex for the ring spun yams. The compact spinning is undoubtedly more suitable to produce the ultra fine cashmere yams. The spinning trial showed that the standard value (0. 2 %) of the coarse hair content in the combed cashmere tops was not acceptable for the production of the fine yams

Full textAbstract:
The production of textiles, focusing on cotton and polyester, carries with it major environmental concerns such as significant water and chemical use as well as the use of non-renewable resources. Measures need to be taken to decrease those environmental burdens. The present study investigates four different recovery techniques in terms of specific environmental factors. The investigated recovery methods are the Re:newcell method, polyester recycling, textile to insulation material and biogas production from the digestion of textile waste. Incineration is also included as a reference alternative. Waste flows in Sweden are estimated through a literature review of conducted waste analyses and estimations as to the amount of secondary product that can be produced from that input are duly made. Further, the environmental implications of three potential locations for a sorting facility are investigated. Converting cotton into biogas was found to be an unrealistic approach since it is economically inviable and little or no energy is actually gained when transportation costs are taken into consideration. Further studies on the benefits and costs of recycling cotton into insulation material are needed. The unavoidable transportation related to collection, sorting and recycling are not to be underestimated and could in some cases hinder future environmental improvements. Finally, the study found that fiber material recycling is the only treatment method that has the potential to decrease the environmental burdens related to primary production although, despite the fact it requires the most water and chemicals. However, the data reliability in the current study is a matter of concern and further research in the form of standardized data collection and the use of analytical and strategic tools in further assessments is recommended. Although the recovery of textile material is crucial for decreasing the environmental burdens from primary production of textiles, the work in preventing textile waste is even more vital. In the long run, the prevention of waste is far more important as recovery processes demands their own share of resources.Den primära produktionen av textilier för med sig enorma miljömässiga påfrestningar. Omfattande mängder kemikalier och vatten samt icke-förnybara resurser används vid tillverkningen av bomull och polyester. Det är nödvändigt att vidta åtgärder för att minska dessa negativa effekter på miljön. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka fyra olika återvinningstekniker för textilt avfall med fokus på bomull och polyester. Förbränning med energiutvinning inkluderas som ett referensfall och återvinningsteknikerna jämförs med hjälp av utvalda miljöfaktorer. De återvinningstekniker som jämförs är Re:newcells metod för återvinning av bomull (och andra cellulosa material) till viskosfiber, kemisk polyesteråtervinning, återvinning av bomull till isoleringsmaterial för byggnader samt rötning av bomullstextilier för utvinning av biogas. Avfallsströmmarna i Sverige uppskattas med hjälp av litteraturstudier av framförallt genomförda plockanalyser. Alla faktorer jämförs med avseende på 1 ton blandat textilavfall från hushåll i Sverige och hur mycket av det som kan användas som potentiell råvara i återvinningsprocesserna. Vidare undersöks även de miljömässiga effekterna som uppstår vid transport av det textila avfallet till en sorteringsanläggning och till återvinnigsanläggningar. Tre potentiella placeringar av sorteringsanläggningen undersöks: Stockholm, Vänersborg och Wolfen, Tyskland. Studien fann att endast fibermaterialåtervinning har möjlighet att motverka de miljömässiga påfrestningarna från primärproduktionen även om de också innebär den största användningen av resurser såsom vatten och kemikalier. Rötning av bomull till biogas anses vara ett orealistiskt alternativ då metoden är ekonomiskt oförsvarbar och lite eller ingen energi egentligen utvinns när man inkluderar de nödvändiga transporterna. Vidare studier behövs för att uppskatta nyttan och kostnaderna för återvinning av bomull till isoleringsmaterial. De transporter som oundvikligt behövs vid återvinning pga. insamling, sortering och återvinning bör inte underskattas och kan i vissa fall förhindra att miljönyttan ökar. Resultaten i studien bör däremot användas kritiskt då tillförlitligheten i det data som har använts i vissa fall kan ifrågasättas. Detta beror på att många antaganden och uppskattningar har gjorts pga. brist på data av sekretesskäl. Mer forskning och undersökningar rekommenderas i form av standardiserade metoder för plockanalyser av textilt avfall. Användningen av analytiska och strategiska verktyg såsom LCA och EIA/SEA rekommenderas för att ta hänsyn till alla intressenter vad gäller end-of-life för textilt avfall. Fastän återvinning är en nödvändig del i arbetet att minska på de miljömässiga påfrestningarna som primärproduktion bidrar till är det ännu viktigare att arbeta med åtgärder för att minska avfallet. Återvinning kräver sin andel resurser i from av energi, vatten och kemikalier bland annat.

Les composites stratifiés tridimensionnels (3D) sont de plus en plus utilisés dans différents secteurs industriels. Leurs caractéristiques mécaniques sont intéressantes, en particulier par leur résistance et leur rigidité supérieures dans le sens de l'épaisseur. Le piquage est une des technologie qui permettent un recherche et développement, qui non seulement s'adapte à divers matériaux, mais qui permet également de réaliser motifs et formes variés. Cette thèse est dédiée du développement de l'assemblage tubulaire par la technologie de piquage, d'analyse de l'influence des paramètres de piquage sur les performances mécanique du composite assemblé à plate est étudié. En plus les propriétés de cisaillement de la préforme piquée et du composite piqué, les comportements de dégradation du fil de piquage sont également étudiés. Alors, un mécanisme de piquage d'amélioration est proposé. Des configurations de produits piqués en 3D ont été conçues et les paramètres importants ont pu ajustés par la machine de piquage du GEMTEX. L'influence de la densité de piquage sur les propriétés de cisaillement mode II dans le plan de la préforme piquée et du composite piqué ont promis d'optimiser notre processus de piquage. L'étude de la dégradation du fil de piquage par l'essai de traction et l'observation d'image a conduit à la définition d'un processus de piquage amélioré. Ainsi, afin de discuter l'assemblage tubulaire, des essais à plat ont été menés . Ces travaux ouvert le developpment de cette technologie d'assemblage avec de nouvelles utilisationsThree-dimensional (3D) laminated composites are increasingly used in different industrial areas. Their mechanical characteristics are advantageous, in particular by their better through-the-thickness strength and stiffness. Tufting is an ongoing technology, which not only adapts to various materials but also easy to achieve various patterns and shapes. This thesis is dedicated to the development of tubular assembly composite by tufting technology, the analysis of the influence of tufting parameters on mechanical performance by the plate assembly composite instead of the tubular assembly is to simplify the experimental study. In addition to the shear properties of the tufted preform and the tufted composite are introduced, the degradation behaviours of tufting thread are also studied. Then,an improvement tufting mechanism is proposed. The configurations of 3D tufted products have been designed and the significant parameters can be adjusted on the home-designed tufting device by GEMTEX. The influence of tufting density on Mode II in-plane shear properties of the tufted preform and the composite promised to the optimisation of the tufting process. Tensile test and the image-observation methods of tufting thread are carried out to determine the degradation behaviours, meanwhile to improve a novel tufting mechanism. Moreover, in order to discuss the tubular assembly, the tests on the plat assembly are carried out. These works open up the development of the new applications under this assembly technology

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, textiles were dried outdoors with the wind and the sun enhancing the drying process. Tumble dryers offer a fast and convenient way of drying textiles independent of weather conditions. Tumble dryers, however, consume large amounts of electrical energy. Over 4 million tumble dryers are sold each year in Europe and a considerable amount of energy is used for drying of clothes. Increasing energy costs and the awareness about environmental problems related to a large energy use has increased the demand for dryers with better energy efficiency. The aim with this thesis is to show how to improve the energy efficiency of domestic tumble dryers.
Two types of tumble dryers are available on the market today: the open cycle dryer and the closed cycle dryer. In the open cycle dryer room air is heated and led into the drying drum. The exhaust air leaves the dryer and is often evacuated outside the building. In the closed cycle dryer an internal airflow is recirculated inside the dryer. When the hot air has passed through the drying drum it is led through a heat exchanger where the water vapour is condensed before the air is heated again and led to the drum. The heat exchanger is cooled with room air.
Drying at low temperature has been shown to reduce the specific energy use for an open cycle tumble dryer. In Paper I a correlation between the specific energy use, the drying time and the heat supply was established for a specific load by using the exhaust air temperature. It was shown that the total drying time and specific energy use could be predicted from data during the first hour of the process. This result indicated a possibility to create a control system that makes it possible for the user to choose between low energy use or short drying time.
The focus of Paper II is to reduce the energy use for a closed cycle tumble dryer. Energy and mass balances were established in order to determine feasible improvements. Energy and mass flows in the dryer indicated that reducing leakage from the internal system of the dryer gave the largest reduction of specific energy use. Insulation of the back cover of the dryer and opening the internal system during the falling drying rate period also gave positive results on the energy use. In total a feasible reduction of the energy use of approximately 17% was calculated.

Full textAbstract:
L'industrie marocaine du textile occupe une place importante dans l'économie nationale ainsi que dans les échanges internationaux. Le Maroc produit peu ou pas de matières premières textiles, ce n'est donc pas au processus de la descente de la filière que le secteur doit son développement. Au Maroc précolonial le secteur textile était artisanal. Avec le protectorat français, on a vu s'installer une industrie textile mécanisée et rénover le secteur du tapis. Actuellement l'industrie marocaine du textile est constituée d'une activité amont (filature et tissage) qui produit pour le marché national dont elle ne satisfait les besoins qu'en partie, et d'un secteur aval (habillement et tissage du tapis). Le secteur habillement couvre les besoins nationaux et exporte 70% de sa production, ces exportations sont le résultat de la sous sous-traitance internationale commerciale, elles comportent donc peu de valeur ajoutée locale. Le secteur du tapis a un caractère intermédiaire entre l'artisanat et l'industrie. Il reste sensible à toute conjoncture internationale puisque 80% de sa production est exportée. La main d'œuvre dans le secteur aval textile est essentiellement féminine, d'âge jeune et mal rémunérée. Géographiquement l'industrie textile se trouve en quasi-totalité à Casablanca, Tanger, Rabat-Sale et FèsThe Moroccan textile industry takes up an important place in the national economy as well as on the international exchange. Morocco produces little or nothings of raw textiles materials, there, the sector haven’t the down till process of the network for its development. In morocco pre-colonial the textile sector was made by craftsmen. French protectorate installed an industrial textile mechanism and renovated the carpet sector. At present the textile sector consist of spinning and weaving and clothing and carpet. The former satisfying only a small part of the nations needs. The sector of clothing covers all the nations’ needs and exports 70% from its production which includes a little local added value. The carpet sector in sensitive to the international circumstances 80% of its products are exports. The workforce is feminine, young and badly-paid. The near total of this activity is situated in Casablanca, Tanger, Rabat-Sale and Fès. The Moroccan textile industry has the characters of the second stage of the uphill process of the network. Until now it doesn’t get over the third stage because of the externals factors notably the international circumstances and the others internals in the case of the Moroccan economy

Full textAbstract:
The research is concerned with ’textile semantics’ and explores the communicative capacity of printed textiles in public spaces. The research investigates the influence of content, cloth and context on the reading of textiles, exploring the semiotic sign systems that enable textiles to function as a channel for the production and exchange of meaning between designer as encoder/producer and viewer as receiver/ consumer. The research examines historical precedents for textiles functioning as a communication medium and considers the designer’s role as encoder of cultural meaning through the visual image in textiles, identifying modes of communication in both historical and contemporary examples. A critical theoretical framework based in semiotics and communication theory is adopted as a generative and analytical tool in the research to explore the communication process through textiles. The development of this critical framework is supported by existing research from areas such as product semantics, consumer behaviour studies and material culture studies, and the application of semiotic theory in related art and design disciplines such as fashion is discussed. Methodologies developed from this framework were implemented in two practical case studies where printed textiles encoded with specific meanings were installed in public spaces and responses to the work evaluated. This enabled testing of communication intent and effect, comparing the practitioner’s communication intentions with the meanings viewers ascribed to the visual content but also determining the influence of medium and site on their readings, demonstrating variation and commonality of responses.

Full textAbstract:
Textilindustrins miljöpåverkan är hög, samtidigt som efterfrågan på textilfibrer ständigt ökar. Inom de kommande åren förväntas textilåtervinningen i Sverige att öka vilket skulle skapa en mer cirkulär resursanvändning som på så sätt kan minska tillverkningen av jungfruliga fibrer. För att återvinningsprocessen för de förbru- kade textilierna ska fungera optimalt krävs en sorteringsmetod med hög säkerhet i materialurskiljning. Inom kriminaltekniska områden används märkvätskor för att märka upp värdefulla föremål. Märkvätskorna baserade på metallsalter skapar unika sifferkoder som kan avläsas med en laserteknik kallad LA-ICP-MS. Om ett märkt föremål blir stulet och sedan återfinns av polisen kan märkvätskan avläsas och kopplas tillbaka till ägaren via en databas. Genom att applicera den osynliga forensiska märkvätskan på textilier var projektets förhoppning att skapa spårbarhet i det textila ledet med fo- kus på att underlätta sorteringsprocessen i återvinningsstadiet. Detta genom att skapa en säker märkning som sitter kvar under textilens hela användarfas. Märk- vätskan som användes i projektet kom från SmartWater Technology Ltd som är det ledande företaget i England inom forensiska märkningar. För att simulera en användarfas för ett bomullsplagg har testmetoder för färghär- dighet mot tvätt samt nötningshärdighet utförts. En extern analys utfördes på Smar- tWaters laboratorium i Telford, England, för att kontrollera om koderna gick att avläsa efter de utförda testerna. Testmetoderna har utförts utefter antagandet att metallkoderna har bättre härdighet än den fluoroscensiska färgen. Vid slitage inne- bär detta att färgen avlägsnas vid ett tidigare skede än metallsalterna, vilket resulte- rar i att kodens placering blir omöjlig att hitta utan dess färg. Under detta projekt har därför den fluoroscensiska färghärdigheten varit i fokus. Resultatet som erhölls från nötnings- och tvätthärdighetstestet analyserades under UV-ljus i ljusskåp genom att jämföra färgförändringen mot ett referensprov. En 5- gradig grå-grå-skala användes för att omvandla färgavvikelsen till numeriska vär- den, vartefter matematiska beräkningar utfördes för att kontrollera statistisk signi- fikans. Studien visade att märkvätskans fluoroscensiska färg försämras i takt med antal tvättar. Färgen försämrades något i jämförelse med referensprovet efter nöt- ning, men ingen signifikant skillnad kunde utläsas mellan provkropparna efter ökat antal varv i Martindalemaskinen. Analysen genom LA-ICP-MS kopplade samtliga provkroppar till korrekt applicerad kod vilket tyder på en säker avläsningsteknik. Baserat på tidigare nämnda resultat förväntas märkvätskan därför klara av en an- vändarfas för exempelvis ett ytterplagg eller en möbel i bomull. Fler tester krävs dock för att säkerhetsställa hur vätskan håller efter tid och ytterligare antal tvättar. Lasertekniken som användes för att avläsa koden är säker, men behöver utvecklas eller bytas ut för att en snabbare sorteringsprocess ska erhållas.The environmental impact for the textile industry is already high and with an in- creasing demand for textile fibers something has to change within the industry. The textile recycling in Sweden is expected to increase in the coming years, which would create a more circular resource utilization, thus reducing the production of virgin fibers. In order to create an optimal recycling process, a secure sorting method is required in material separation. To be able to track valuable objects within the forensic area, a compound based on metal salts is used to mark the objects. The metal composition can be translated into a specific and unique code with a laser method called LA-ICP-MS. The code can later be connected to a person or an organization registered within a database. This thesis examines the possibility to apply the forensic marking compound on a textile carrier to create a trustworthy traceability within the textile chain that is difficult to remove. Instead of register a person or an organization to a code, the vision was to connect a code to a material or a chemical content within the textile product. The forensic marking system used in this thesis came from SmartWater Technology Ltd, which is the leading company in England within forensic coding. A quantitative study was made to research how the forensic coding system based on metal salts acted on a textile carrier. The researched problem was based to ana- lyze the suitability to use a forensic marker system on a textile carrier with the aim to create traceability within the textile industry and to ease the sorting process. To be able to investigate the problem a simulated phase of use was made. Test methods were performed to analyze the impact of abrasion and the ability to with- stand washing for the forensic marking. An external analysis was made at Smart- Waters laboratory in Telford, England, to examine if the metal salts were de- codable, even when the forensic marking was in a bad condition. All the tests and analysis was made with the supposition that the metal salt coding had a better ad- hesion to the carrier than the fluorescence color. Since the coded area cannot be found without the color, the results have been based on the change in color of the fluorescence marking solution. The conclusion shows that the fluorescence colorfastness was decreasing with the number of washing cycles. Number of cycles in Martindale was not significant for a decrease in colorfastness. The LA-ICP-MS method was able to decode all of the samples and connect them to the applied codes. This indicates that the forensic marking system is durable and can be used to mark a garment or a piece of furni- ture that’s not washed a lot. However, more tests are required to ensure how the solution lasts over time and additional amounts of laundry. The LA-ICP-MC meth- od is secure, but one problem is that it’s stationary and therefore difficult to use in a sorting process.

Full textAbstract:
With the technological progress of materials science, the palette of colours with which to print on textiles has expanded beyond those with previously known properties and expressions to a new generation, with more advanced functionality and expressive properties. This new range of colours is characterised by their ability when printed on textiles to change colour in relation to external factors and internal programmes; for example, leuco dye-based thermochromic inks generally change colour in response to temperature fluctuations. This research explores the design properties and potentials of leuco dye-based thermochromic inks printed on textiles, with regard to creating a wider range of colour-changing effects for textile applications. The significance of this for textile design is related to the development of a methodology for designing dynamic surface patterns. The research was conducted by creating a series of design experiments using leuco dye-based thermochromic inks, which resulted in different recipes and methods, along with a pedagogical tool. The results highlighted the diverse colour-changing properties of leuco dye-based thermochromic inks, which have the potential to create more complex patterns on textiles. The outcome of this research proposes a foundation for textile designers with which to approach new ways of thinking and designing.
