In order to improve the silver releasing properties of chitosan fibers, acetic anhydride was used to modify chitosan fibers for converting the amine groups of fibers into acetamide groups, and consequently decreasing the binding force between the fiber and silver ions. The water absorption and silver releasing properties of the original and acetylated samples were compared. The experimental results showed that the ordered structure of chitosan dibers were damaged by the acetylation treatment, leading to easy penertration of water into the fibers. The partially acetylated chitosan fiber showed a high absorption capacity.Owing to the conversion of free amine groups into acetamide groups, the acetylated fibers can release more silver ions  with the increase in the degree of acetylation when wetting.

Influence of cylinder speed on fiber length distribution of flat strips was studied. The flat strips were produced at four different speeds of cylinder and their lengths were tested with Premier aQura, and the length distribution of different cylinder speeds was analyzed. The results show that fiber length distribution of flat strips is influenced by cylinder speed. The short fiber (less than 12 mm) content of flat strips tends to increase with the increase of cylinder speed. In view of fiber length distribution of flat strips, a cylinder speed of 450 r/min is the best, and at this speed, the fiber (less than 18 mm) the content of flat strips is higher than that of other cylinder speeds evidently. Furthermore, it may be more comprehensive and accurate to estimate carding effect by using of fiber length distribution in comparison with using fiber length parameters.

Some researchers proposed several thermal comfort models of sleeping bags. The predictions from these models were in poor agreement with experimental observations. In this paper, a new model is developed to predict comfort temperatures of sleeping bags on the basis of the elaboration and calculation of the heat exchange between the human body and the environment, in combination with the general heat balance equation. In order to verify this model, sixty subjects were divided into three groups. Each group was tested one of the three sleeping bags with thermal insulation of 4.3clo, 5.6 clo and 6.6clo. The results indicated the predictions of this model were very close to the actual neutral temperatures based on the analysis of thermal sensation data of subjects. Since this model were in good agreement with experimental results from subjects, it is applicable to predict comfort temperatures when people use sleeping bags for recreational activities in outdoor environments.

Based on the characteristics of the fact that China's textile industry to build regional association, this paper uses the provincial domain data from the 1999 to 2011 years to study China's textile industry's spatial autocorrelation and region correlation effects. The results show that, China's textile industry constructed regional correlation effect through industry correlation, spatial correlation and market correlation. With the continuous improving of China's textile industry's labor productivity, the negative effects of spatial autocorrelation become increasingly significant, and the difference of labor productivity in the eastern, central and western regions is becoming large. Increasing labor capital stock and decreasing employment density can significantly improve textile industry's labor productivity of the midwest and lower labor productivity of the eastern. Reducing government intervention, promoting industrial agglomeration, increasing foreign direct investment and accelerating high-class adjustment of industrial structure can improve China's textile industry labor productivity significantly.
