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.

Electronic textiles (e‐textiles) are created by the amalgamation of electronics and textiles, where electronics are integrated into or onto fabric substrates. Woven textiles are specifically considered in this thesis to integrate electronics into textiles' orthogonal architecture. This thesis investigates 'How can the weaving process be manipulated to make woven e-textiles with integrated electronics?' The methodological approach taken is practice based research carried out via a technical materials approach and creative craft methods. An investigation of woven e-textiles through design led practice and woven expertise is presented. Previously, woven e-textiles have been investigated either via technical material approaches, (where the main emphasis remains on function) or via creative craft methods, (which emphasise experimental forms, manipulate integration methods and apply craft based knowledge). Both of these approaches have presented only limited investigation of unobtrusive integrated electronics in woven e-textiles, and woven structures have not been fully utilised to support the integration. The research applies reflective practice through a design process model; this is based on the researcher's previous weaving expertise and designing methods. The work investigates how woven construction may be manipulated to develop novel integrated woven e-textiles. It was found that five woven approaches were particularly of value for electronics integration. These were the use of double cloth, the integration of multiple functions into the textiles as part of the weaving, the use of complex weaving techniques to attach and integrate components, the use of inlay weft weaving and the manipulation of floats (free floating threads). The thesis makes original contributions to knowledge, including identification of key stages in the woven e-textile design process, identification and application of advanced weaving techniques to facilitate integrated woven e-textiles, and compilation of a systematic record of woven e-‐textile techniques as a technical woven repository. Underpinning design principles that influence the developed e-textile outcomes are identified. A range of woven e-textile samples are designed and made. Three specific examples including an actuator ('RGB colour mixer'), a circuit ('corrugated pleat LED v2') and a soft module ('battery holder module v4'), are described in detail to illustrate their development using the e-textile design process model. The knowledge gained has potential to be applied to industrial woven processes for e-textiles.

WARP and WEFT is a textile making guild, intricately woven into KNOOP, the proposed Clothing and Consumer Science building for the University of Pretoria. This building is situated in Hatfield next to the railway line, in close proximity to the Gautrain station and Rissik Station. KNOOP was designed in 2008 by Korine Stegmann in fulfilment of her MArch(Prof) at the University of Pretoria. Therefore, the building in which the intervention is proposed is, to date, only an architectural proposal and has not yet been built. The project was initiated due to a fascination with textiles and the relevance of textiles in interior architecture. This fascination with textiles is ascribed to the following: The first intriguing aspect of textiles is the structure and the underlying construction principles of textiles. The second aspect is the unique character of textiles compared to other building materials. Another interesting notion is the current international textile trend and current re-focus on textiles as a construction material after a long period of being neglected. The current hype about textiles is ascribed to the tactile qualities of textiles, which opposes an increasing movement towards virtualism. The raw and organic production process of handmade textiles is desirable and opposes automated production. Similarly to the Arts and Crafts movement, designers are once more interested in handmade products. Fourthly, textiles used in architecture has the intriguing ability to create an architecture which better relates to fashion in terms of fashion’s ability to easily change and adapt; fashion’s fleeting nature. Lastly, handmade textiles of a specific region have the ability to convey the identity of that specific region. This is a crucial ability to resist globalization and monotony in cultural identity. Appropriately, the fascination of this dissertation is with traditional African handmade textiles and its relevance in interior architecture. The contemporary unbuilt building was selected to demonstrate the value of a collaborative approach between an architect and interior architect prior to construction. The analysis of the architectural proposal shows that the interior architect can effectively recognize the strengths and weaknesses of a building from an interior perspective and enhance and improve these aspects. The aim is also to show that two programmes can function collaborative in one building and that intervention is possible within a building with a fixed programme. The site was selected due to the location and framework it falls within. The location of the site allows for exposure due to the pedestrian demand on the site. Also, the site is advantageously located within close proximity to main transportation nodes. The site falls within the extended Arcadia Arts and Cultural Corridor. The vision for this corridor is a lively and multicultural precinct which hosts a variety of arts and cultural facilities. The vision for these facilities is to portray the zest of local culture, especially to those disembarking the Gautrain. The textile making guild, WARP + WEFT is an important project within this precinct, due to the core concept of the guild to celebrate African textiles. The aim of the guild is to produce contemporary woven textiles which portray the identity of traditional African woven textiles. The vision for WARP + WEFT within the precinct is to exhibit textiles, expose the textile making processes and to create a unique African textile experience for both the public and the users of the guild. The interior intervention will celebrate African textiles by demonstrating how textiles are used to solve and embrace aspects identified through the analysis of the architectural proposal. These aspects include acoustic absorption, solar screening, adding softness, texture and colour to an environment predominantly defined by cold, hard, smooth and monotone surfaces, as well as providing versatile branding elements. The use of textiles in the interior intervention introduces the unique design question of how to design with textiles for a textile related programme, opposed to textiles being used for another programme, such as a theatre or a hotel. It is a matter of “textiles for textiles” instead of “textiles for music” or “textiles for sleeping”. The solution to this unique design problem is to differentiate between spaces which celebrate textiles by acting as a background or blank canvas for the exhibition and production of textiles and spaces which celebrate textiles by becoming textile-like. To create these spatial variations, the exclusive use of textiles is not sufficient. Textiles need to be translated into interior architecture which will be achieved through the following five methods: Translation through metaphor, translation through structure, interpretation of actual textiles, engagement through text and the translation of the unique qualities of textiles. Thus, the aim of the investigation is to celebrate textiles through the application of textiles and through the translation of textiles in interior architecture.Dissertation MInt(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2012

This thesis describes a new investigation into the relationship between the developed colour intensity of photochromic textiles and the time of UV exposure and also the time of relaxation. As a result of this relationship the potential of flexible textilebased sensor constructions which might be used for the identification of radiation intensity is demonstrated. In addition the differences between photochromic pigment behaviour in solution and incorporated into prints on textiles are demonstrated. Differences in the effect of the spectral power distributions of light sources on the photochromic response are also examined. Bi-exponential functions, which are used in optical yield (Oy) calculations, have been described to provide a good description of the kinetics of colour change intensity of photochromic pigments, giving a good fit. The optical yield of the photochromic reaction Oy is linearly related to the intensity of illumination E. The optical yield obtained from the photochromic reaction curves are described by a kinetic model, which defines the rate of colour change initiated by external stimulus of UV light. Verification of the kinetic model is demonstrated for textile sensors with photochromic pigments applied by textile printing and by fibre mass dyeing. The thesis also describes a unique instrument developed by author, which measures colour differences ΔE* and spectral remission curves derived from photochromic colour change simultaneously with UV irradiation. In this thesis the photochromic behaviour of selected pigments in three different applications (type of media – textile prints, non-woven textiles and solution) is investigated.

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.

Анотація:
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.

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.

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.

Notre but est de déterminer les propriétés physiques et mécaniques du cachemire, d'estimer l'influence des paramètres génétiques et non génétiques de la chèvre sur ces dernières et d'en déterminer la limite de filabilité. Les résultats expérimentaux ont montré que des paramètres génétiques et non génétiques de la chèvre exercent une influence significative sur la finesse ainsi que sur l'énergie spécifique à la rupture. 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. Nous avons mis en évidence le problème lié à la présence importante de jarres dans le filThe objectives of our study were to detennine the physical and mechanical properties and the spinnability of the cashmere and to investigate the influence of the goat genetic and non genetic parameters on the fiber properties. 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

Des textiles de ce type fonctionnant à la lumière naturelle peuvent grandement améliorer le niveau d’hygiène dans les pays en développent. L’assemblage couche par couche est bien adapté à la fonctionnalisation de textiles, cette technique permet de construire des revêtements composites hybrides avec un control nanométrique de la composition et de l’architecture, et cela indépendamment de la nature ou de la géométrie de la surface. Ce travail décrit la fabrication de revêtements photo-catalytiques composés de nanoparticules de TiO2 et de polyélectrolytes pour des applications d’auto-décontamination. Nous avons montré qu’il était possible de fabriquer des revêtements poreux et homogènes dont le contenu en photo-catalyseur est ajustable en fonction du nombre de couches et des paramètres de dépôts. Les textiles obtenus montrent des résultats prometteurs pour la dégradation de colorants et de polluants gazeux. La spectroscopie EPR nous a aussi permis d’investiguer les mécanismes de formation et la réactivité des radicaux sous illuminationPhotocatalysis can be efficiently utilized for obtaining self-decontaminating properties of different surfaces. Production of sun driven self-decontaminating textiles can highly improve level of hygiene, especially in undeveloped countries. To prepare coatings on textiles, the Layer-by-Layer assembly method seems to be very attractive as it allows to build multifunctional hybrid materials with controlled nanoscale composition and architecture, regardless of surface type and geometry. This work describes the preparation of photocatalytically active coatings composed of TiO2 nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes for self-decontaminating applications. The quantity of deposited catalysts within the films can be precisely controlled by adjusting the number of layers and the deposition parameters. Coated textiles showed promising results in degradation of dyes and gas pollutants. In order to better understand degradation mechanisms, radical production in films during illumination have been investigated by EPR spectroscopy

Анотація:
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.

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.

The aerodynamic drag force acting on a circular cylinder clad with knitted wool and polyester textiles has been investigated in wind tunnel experiments in this study. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was utilized to determine the flow field, both around the separation point and a wake profile in the close wake. The drag forces and the characteristic CD curves were determined over a range of Reynolds numbers expected to contain flow transition, for a number of knitted textiles having different surface roughness characteristics. The effects of knitting parameters and type of yarn on the flow field were investigated. The parameters of interest to be examined were critical Reynolds number, separation point, growth of the wake and wake profile. The wool and polyester textiles examined showed dissimilar effects on the flow field. Both were clearly adding surface roughness, and hence tripping transition to turbulence at a lower Reynolds number than for the smooth cylinder. The wool textile did however turn out be a more effective turbulence trigger than expected.

The huge advancement in the textiles industry and the accurate control on the mechanization process coupled with cost-effective manufacturing offer an innovative environment for new electronic systems, namely electronic textiles.
The abundance of fabrics in our regular life offers immense possibilities for electronic integration both in wearable and large-scale applications.
Augmenting this technology with a set of precepts and a simulation environment creates a new software/hardware architecture with widely useful implementations in wearable and large-area computational systems. The software environment acts as a functional modeling and testing platform, providing estimates of design metrics such as power consumption.
The construction of an electronic textile (e-textile) hardware prototype, a large-scale acoustic beamformer, provides a basis for the simulator and offers experience in building these systems.
The contributions of this research focus on defining the electronic textile architecture, creating a simulation environment, defining a networking scheme, and implementing hardware prototypes.Ph. D.

Living as a human being in the 21st century is a more or less constant three-dimensional textile experience. Textiles have a continuous proximity to our bodies as clothing but also as an essential material in our dwellings, both with practical and emotional functions. The Everyday Performing Textiles derives from my deep interest in the qualities and embedded connotations of textiles, the stuff that affectively shapes our material reality. These soft things play different roles in our lives, as parts of a web of function and meaning. In this thesis I focus on the unobtrusive position of everyday textiles, searching to reflect upon the significance and substance they have within our homes. I predicate that our wellbeing is deeply dependent and connected to the comfort of textiles – it being an emotional material as much as a physical. I use the expectations of materiality as a method, balancing between the familiar and the strange, to challenge and expand our perception of cloth, both as a statement and a query of its value in modern society. I depict everyday textiles in a skewed way, mixing the realistic and the unrealistic, to create an expanded perception of them – playing with their immanent, possibly unspoken, expectations. The Everyday Performing Textiles is an acknowledgement of our textile reality – the existence of this interactive, interdependent relationship in our everyday practice of living.

This thesis considers the impact of fabric properties on the electronic textile (e-textile) design process. Specifically, properties such as weave pattern, drape, tinsel wire placement and weight are evaluated as physical aspects of an e-textile system within an expanded design flow and fabric synthesis. A textile's physical properties are important for creating e-textiles that look and feel like normal clothing and thus are truly wearable. A more detailed assessment of the weave of an e-textile and its effect on the electrical resistance of networks of uninsulated conductive fibers is also considered in both single weaves and complex pocket double weaves.Master of Science

Sculptural Textiles is a material investigation exploring sculptural possibilities for machine woven textiles. Two important factors are yarn combinations and textile construction, and how these two together can result in fabrics that can be manipulated by hand into shapes and thus adaptable to various settings. The essence of this project is in the meeting between contrasts such as shiny-dull, elastic-stiff, transparent-opaque, natural and synthetic and how these meetings can create sculptural qualities. The project is aiming to create a range of sculptural textiles as well as being an exploration in material. Construction and density are tools to bring forth the beauty and function of the materials. The result is a range of textiles showing that small changes in material and construction can lead to different sculptural characteristics.

Cette thèse vise à caractériser des polymères imprimés tridimensionnellement (3D) sur des matériaux textiles PET via une méthode de dépôt de polymère fondu connu sur le nom de Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) utilisant à la fois des polymères non conducteurs et conducteurs. Les propriétés mécaniques et électriques ont été optimisées par le biais de modèles statistiques et améliorées grâce à des pré et post-traitements ou le développement de mélanges de polymères. Ce travail de recherche apporte de nouveaux résultats sur le développement de textiles techniques par l'impression 3D de polymères fonctionnels. Le procédé FDM a été considéré dans cette thèse pour son fort potentiel en termes de flexibilité, d'efficacité des ressources, de production sur mesure et d'écologie par rapport aux procédés de finition textile conventionnels existants, par exemple, les impressions numériques et sérigraphiques. Le principal enjeu de cette technologie est de garantir des propriétés électriques et mécaniques optimisées (flexion, flexibilité, traction, abrasion, etc.) du polymère imprimé en 3D sur les textiles afin d’être utilisé dans l'industrie textile. Par conséquent, le développement de nouveaux polymères imprimés en 3D sur des matériaux PET avec des propriétés améliorées est nécessaire.Dans un premier temps, de l’'acide polylactique (PLA) non conducteur et du PLA contenant 2.5% de noir de carbone ont été imprimé en 3D sur des tissus en PET. Les polymères conducteurs ont été fabriqués par le procédé d'extrusion à voie fondu. Les propriétés mécaniques, notamment d’adhésion, de traction, de déformation, de résistance au lavage et d’abrasion ont été déterminées. Ensuite, la relation entre les caractéristiques structurelles et thermiques du textile et la température du plateau de l’imprimante 3D et ces propriétés par le biais de modèles statistiques a été déterminée. De plus, différents pré-traitements sur textiles incluant le plasma atmosphérique, le greffage d'acide acrylique et l'application d'adhésifs ont été suggérés pour améliorer les propriétés d’adhésion du PLA imprimé en 3D sur les tissus en PET. Enfin, de nouveaux mélanges biophasiques utilisant du polyéthylène basse densité (LDPE) et un élastomère à base de propylène (PBE) contenant de nanotubes de carbone à parois multiples (CNT) et de noir de carbone à haute structure (KB) ont été développés et fabriqués pour améliorer la flexibilité, le la contrainte et la déformation à la rupture et les propriétés électriques du PLA imprimé en 3D sur le tissu PET. La morphologie, les propriétés thermiques et rhéologiques de chaque mélange sont également determinées afin de comprendre le comportement du matériau et l’amélioration de ses propriétés mécaniques et électriques.Les résultats ont démontré que la structure textile définie par sa densité en trame, son motif et la composition des fils de trame et de chaîne a un impact significatif sur l'adhésion, la déformation, l'abrasion et les propriétés de traction du PLA imprimé en 3D sur les tissus en PET. Des compromis doivent être trouvés car les textiles poreux, rugueux possédant de faible conductivité thermique ont montré de meilleures propriétés de lavage, d’adhésion et de traction et une moins bonne résistance à la déformation et à l'abrasion. Des modèles statistiques entre les propriétés textiles et le PLA imprimé en 3D sur des matériaux PET et les propriétés ont été développés avec succès et utilisés pour les optimiser. L'application d'adhésifs sur des tissus en PET traité avec de l'acide acrylique greffé a considérablement amélioré la résistance d'adhésion. Par ailleurs, les mélanges LDPE / PBE de phases co-continues et contenant du CNT et de KB localisés à l'interface ou dans la phase LDPE a révélé améliorer considérablement la déformation et les propriétés de traction et électriques des imprimés 3D sur textilesThis thesis aims at characterizing tridimensional (3D) printed polymers onto PET textile materials via fused deposition modeling (FDM) that uses both non-conductive and conductive polymers, optimizing their mechanical and electrical properties through statistical modeling and enhancing them with pre and post-treatments and the development of polymer blends. This research work supports the development of technical textiles through 3D printing that may have functionalities. The FDM process was considered in this thesis for its strong potential in terms of flexibility, resource-efficiency, cost-effectiveness tailored production and ecology compared to the existing conventional textile finishing processes, for instance, the digital and screen printings. The main challenge of this technology is to warranty optimized electrical and mechanical (bending, flexibility, tensile, abrasion, etc.) properties of the 3D printed polymer onto textiles for the materials to be used in textile industry. Therefore, the development of novel 3D printed polymers onto PET materials with improved properties is necessary. First of all, 3D printed non-conductive Polylactic Acid (PLA) and PLA filled with 2.5wt% Carbon-Black filled onto PET fabrics were purchased and manufactured through melt extrusion process respectively, to characterize their mechanical properties including adhesion, tensile, deformation, wash ability and abrasion. Then, the relationship between the textile structural characteristics and thermal properties and build platform temperature and these properties through statistical modeling was determined. Subsequently, different textile pre-treatments that include atmospheric plasma, grafting of acrylic acid and application of adhesives were suggested to enhance the adhesion properties of the 3D printed PLA onto PET fabrics. Lastly, novel biophasic blends using Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) / Propylene- Based Elastomer (PBE) filled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) and high-structured carbon black (KB) were developed and manufactured to improve the flexibility, the stress and strain at rupture and the electrical properties of the 3D printed PLA onto PET fabric. The morphology, thermal and rheological properties of each blends are also accessed in order to understand the material behavior and enhanced mechanical and electrical properties.The findings demonstrated that the textile structure defined by its weft density and pattern and weft and warp yarn compositions has a significant impact on the adhesion, deformation, abrasion, tensile properties of 3D printed PLA onto PET fabrics. Compromises have to be found as porous and rough textiles with low thermal properties showed better wash-ability, adhesion and tensile properties and worse deformation and abrasion resistance. Statistical models between the textile properties and the 3D printed PLA onto PET materials and the properties were successfully developed and used to optimize them. The application of adhesives on treated PET with grafted acrylic acid did significantly improve the adhesion resistance and LDPE/PBE blends filled with CNT and KB that have co-continuous LDPE and PBE phases as well as CNT and KB selectively located at the interface and in the LDPE phase revealed enhanced deformation and tensile and electrical properties

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.

Thesis (MTech (Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2008This thesis argues that the story of hemp is one of mistaken identity and focuses on the potential of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in a social and economic context. It also asserts how hemp with the application of appropriate technologies can be developed nationally 'new' material, with reference to examples from abroad. The current proliferation of raw material shortages means that designers have a social responsibility to seek new ways to source and process materials for a sustainable future. Designers are the "future creators" and should prescribe materials that are not only healthy in the cycle of production, but also ensure an afterlife (recycling). The methodology employed is a combination of qualitative (such as interviews) and quantitative methods (such as statistical analysis). Life Cycle Analysis is used to study the ecological impact of substituting hemp for current materials and processes. The study interrogates the historic significance of hemp in various societies across the world with particular focus on Europe, Japan, the United States of America, Ireland and Australia. Such information is analysed within the realities of the South African context. A vast amount of information on hemp has been published but practical information is hard to obtain in South Africa necessitating a search for definite answers abroad, mainly in Europe where there is a strong development in this field. After researching the production of the hemp raw materials and the manufacture of viable hemp products abroad, lessons could be assessed for application to the local market. The findings endorse the view that hemp is a sustainable zero-waste material; the whole plant can be used when harvested, which makes it an ideal material on which to base an eco-design system. Hemp can be processed by utilizing either high technology equipment or by the use of locally available equipment and manual labour. It can be converted into a multi-diverse range of viable products such as paper, thatching, building material and ceiling panels. The main reason for the isolation of hemp in South Africa is the mistaken assumption that it is a drug and outlawed by our legislation. Since hemp (Cannabis sativa L) is perceived as a vilified cousin of marihuana it has lead to a blanket ban on both plants. This is certainly not warranted as hemp produces an extremely low value of the controversial hallucinogenic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)properties which is negligible.

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.

Les textiles sont des biens de première nécessité et des objets de valeur en Mésopotamie, au Ier millénaire av J.-C. L'objet de cette étude est de comprendre comment les matières premières étaient produites, quelles étaient les techniques de fabrication des textiles et leurs diverses utilisations dans la société. Les matières premières étaient en partie produites sur place, et en partie importées. La laine, fibre textile principale, provenait de troupeaux appartenant en majorité aux institutions (temples et palais). Elles la redistribuaient dans toute la société par le paiement de salaires, la vente ou l'échange. Diverses personnes étaient en charge de la fabrication des textiles : artisans professionnels travaillant pour les temples ou pour une clientèle urbaine, femmes travaillant à domicile pour le profit d'une autorité supérieure ou de leur propre famille. Les nombreuses étapes de la chaîne opératoire de fabrication des textiles révèlent une spécialisation des artisans plus importante qu'aux époques précédentes. l'étude terminologique des termes akkadiens de textiles permet de mieux saisir la diversité de leurs usages. Les vêtements sont des marqueurs essentiels de l'identité. enfin, les textiles ont une valeur économique. Ils circulent dans la société, à travers des échanges sociaux et commerciaux. Leur étude révèle des traits fondamentaux de la société babylonienne au Ier millénaire av. J.-C. : l'ouverture de l'économie aux échanges extérieurs, une production artisanale plutôt décentralisée entre les mains d'acteurs individuels que totalement contrôlée par les institutions, et des conventions sociales fortes visibles à travers l'habillementThe textiles belonged to the basic necessities and were also valuable properties in Mesopotamia, during the Ist millenium BS. The purpose of this study is to undersand how the textile fibres were produced, what were the technics of manufacturing of these objects and their various uses in the Babylonian society. The raw materials were partly produced locally and partly imported through long distance trade. The wool, the main textile raw material, came from sheep herds belonging in majority to the institutions (temples and palaces). These institutions were redistributing the wool in the society by the payment of salaries to workers, by sales or exchanges. A lot of people were involved in textile production : professional craftsmen working for the temples or for the urban customers, women working at home for the profit of an institution or for their own family. The "chaîne opératoire" of textile manufacturing was following several steps, and reveals a specialisation of the craftsmen more important than before. The study of the textile terminology in Akkadian shows the diversity of the uses of these objects in the Babylonian society. Clothes were markers of identity. Lastly, the textiles had an economic value. They circulated inside the society through social exchanges and economic transactions. The study of the textiles reveals some fundamental aspects of Babylonia's history during the Ist millenium BC, for instance the openness of its economy to external trade, a craft production decentralised into the hands of individuals and not controlled exclusively by the institutions, and strong social conventions expressed by the apparel

Giving textiles form is a project in textile design exploring how textiles can create self-supporting three-dimensional forms with after finishing techniques. The project focuses on the textile to be self-supporting, by working against and challenging the properties of a textile fabric. The motive for the project is to widen the definition of what a textile can do. The methods of origami and traditional Japanese wood joinery are used to find a functioning and durable construction, as well as manipulating the textiles with colour and after finishing techniques. The result of this work is three coloured textile forms that are three-dimensional and self-supporting, the use of colour strengthens the depth and adds a spatial dimension. This work contributes to broaden the field of textile design by expanding the use of textile.

Ce travail est basé sur une approche pluridisciplinaire des sources antiques ; les informations issues des sources écrites, de l’iconographie, des outils de tissage et des fragments textiles conservés, sont comparées pour créer une image aussi complète que possible de l’activité textile en Attique de l’époque classique. Cette étude révèle une activité textile très soutenue, divisée entre l’espace domestique et l’espace artisanal, occupant un grand nombre d’hommes et de femmes. Les Grecs anciens avaient hérité d’une grande tradition textile et d’un savoir-faire qui, comparé à la bonne connaissance du milieu naturel environnant, leur permettait de faire des choix (de matière première, de techniques de fabrication et de techniques d’ennoblissement) pour arriver chaque fois au résultat désiré. Des différences de qualité aux matières premières, aux techniques de fabrication et d’ennoblissement, évoquées dans la littérature de l’époque, indiquent l’existence de textiles de différentes qualités, qui répondaient aux besoins de toutes les couches socialesThis study examines the textile production in classical Attica with an interdisciplinary method, which combines information from the written sources, the classical iconography, the textile production tools and the classical textile remains, in order to establish the most complete image possible of the textile activity in the classical period. The sources inform us of an elaborate textile industry and a high specialization of the professional technicians working in this domain. The Greeks have inherited a great textile tradition and technical knowledge, which, combined to their familiarity with the natural environment made them to be able to choose between raw materials, production and embellishment techniques in order to achieve the desired result. Differences in the quality of the raw materials, the production and embellishment techniques, as references in the literature, suggest the production of a great variety of textiles of different qualities in order to respond to the needs of all social classes

Анотація:
The axilla is a major source of human body odour from which the characteristic musky, urinous or acidic odours emanate, and are predominantly due to bacterial metabolism of the protein-rich fluid secreted by the apocrine and sebaceous glands located in this area (Senol and Fireman, 1999). Clothing has been implicated in contributing to body odour intensity, possibly even increasing the intensity (Dravnieks, et al., 1968; Shelley, et al., 1953) by the transfer of secretions, skin debris and bacteria from the body to the fabric substrate. Despite much anecdotal evidence indicating that some fibres and fabrics are better at limiting odour intensity than others, there appears to be no published research confirming this. The purpose of this study therefore, was to determine whether fabrics varying in fibre content (cotton, wool, polyester) and fabric knit structure (interlock, single jersey, 1x1 rib) differed in the extent to which they retained and emanated axillary odour following wear, and whether the intensity of odour was linked to the number of bacteria transferred to the fabrics. A procedure for collecting odour on fabrics was developed as was a method for evaluating odour through use of a sensory panel. Total aerobic bacteria and aerobic coryneform bacteria extracted from the fabrics were counted to determine if an association between bacterial counts and fabrics existed. Sensory analysis recognises the unique capability of humans as odour-detecting instruments whereas, instrumental analysis has the potential to offer information on the concentration and identification of axillary compounds, which a human assessor cannot. To investigate a new method for detecting axillary odour on apparel fabrics, proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) was used to analyse volatiles emitted from fabrics differing in fibre type.
After removal of garments from the human body, axillary odour can be detected on fabrics, with the intensity of odour being strongly influenced by the fibre type from which the fabrics had been made. Polyester fabrics emanated odour of high intensity, cotton that of mid-low odour intensity, and wool fabrics were low odour. Fabric structural properties such as thickness, mass per unit area and openness of knit structure also had an effect on odour intensity. However, as the principal factor influencing odour intensity was fibre, only fabrics characterised by a high intensity (i.e. polyester) were influenced by structural properties. Differences in odour intensity among fabrics were not necessarily related to bacterial numbers, and no �inherent antimicrobial� properties were evident for any of the fabrics. Bacterial populations persisted in all fabrics up to 28 days. A decline in numbers was apparent for high-odour polyester fabrics, while numbers in low-odour wool fabrics remained relatively stable. PTR-MS detected compounds likely to be short-chain carboxylic acids which increased in the headspace above the polyester fabrics after 7 days. However, this increase was not evident for either the wool or cotton fabrics. Therefore, bacterial numbers per se cannot be a predictor of the odour intensity emanating from fabrics at least on the basis of these fabrics and fibres. The intensity of axillary odour emanating from fabrics was found inversely related to fibre hygroscopicity.

The role of the interior designer in providing for fire safe interiors is an important one. The textile end-products they specify play an important part in the start and/or spread of interior fires. Furthermore, the rate of developments in textile testing and products makes it difficult for designers to keep abreast of the latest information. This thesis provides a program for updating interior designers on fire safe interior textiles. A one hour update program was developed as part of the thesis and delivered to members of the Southwest Regional Chapter of ASID in Roanoke, Virginia.
An analysis of data from a survey showed that participants believe there is a need for an educational program such as this course and that they would attend a five hour CEU course developed on this subject. Responses to questions on textile fibers, standard tests, and new products on the market supported the perceived need for continuing education on the subject of fire safe textiles. The course evaluation in turn, determined that some areas of the program needed to be revised. This thesis provides a packaged program which can be easily updated. Furthermore, anyone with a textile background can use this program in preparing and delivering a CEU course on fire safety and interior textiles.Master of Science

This research project aims to explore how art therapists use textiles in clinical practice and personal artmaking and to learn about the perceived benefits and challenges of this type of work. The study utilizes a Qualtrics survey, with 70 participants, and a focus group methodology, with 4 art therapists. Through the analysis of the participants’ conversations, artwork, and survey information, emergent themes were identified related to examining biases of gender identity, challenges related to considerations of time, the repetitive and slow nature that are particular mindful qualities of textile making, potentially heightened benefits of textile work with children and adolescents, and a call to reexamine boundaries of technique with the inclusion of unstructured textile exploration. Art therapists described benefits for clients particularly related to trauma work, grounding, and sense of mastery. These themes emphasized findings that illuminate the value of working with textiles in personal artmaking and in art therapeutic environments.

L'objectif de ce travail est d'analyser et interpreter les figures textiles mayas (c'est a dire, les representations de certains decors textiles), de l'epoque classique. Ayant-disparu physiquement, les tissus existent sous la forme de representations sur les monuments et les ceramiques. L'interet est de connaitre la fonction et la signification de leurs decors en tant qu'ils font partie de la representation dans son ensemble. J'ai choisi des exemples qui me permettent d'etudier les figures textiles dans un contexte epigraphique. La these comprend six chapitres organises conformement au reperage et a la classification des figures. Chaque chapitre est centre sur des figures repetees selon un patron specifique. Dans chacun des chapitres j'examine le cas des figures qu'il comprend et les materiaux iconographiques, stela, linteau, ceramique, qui leur sont rattaches. J'analyse ces representations en tant que plan et tableau et je signale les donnees historiques. Par consequent je puis lire ou rapporter les figures aux entites divines, aux toponymes et aux rituels, indiques dans l'iconographie et l'epigraphie correspondantes. Dans la conclusion a chaque fin de chapitre je reprends les resultats des enquetes specifiques et ebauche ce qui constituera un lexique de figures textiles. Une conclusion commune aux six chapitres preconise l'etude particuliere de chaque site de provenanceThis work takes as its central objective the interpretation and analysis of mayan textiles figures (that is, representations of various patterns of textiles), of the classic epoch. Not having survived as actual fabrics, the textiles appear primarily in the form of monumental and ceramic representations. My interest is to know what are the function and the meaning of the textiles figures within the representation as a whole. Have selected examples which permit me to study the figures within an epigraphic context. The dissertation comprises six chapters which are organized according to the location and classification of the figures. Each chapter focuses on designs repeated in a specific pattern. In each one examine the case of the respective figures and the iconographic materials-stela, lintel, ceramic, which pertain to them. Analysed these representations as a plan, as a picture and as an object having historical significance. Consequently am able to read or reference the figures in terms of their relationship to the divines entities, toponymes and rituals, indicated in the iconography and epigraphy to which they correspond. In the conclusion of each chapter review the results of these specific studies and then outline what will constitute a lexicon of textiles figures. A comprehensive conclusion of the six chapters recommend the particular study of each site of provenance
