      Dodecanedioic acid, decamethylene diamine, decanedioic acid, hexamethylene diamine and caprolactam were selected to prepare serial polyamides with low melting point, which contained different proportions of diamines, through the direct melt polymerization, characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The typical characteristic peaks of polyamide almost appeared in all the FTIR spectra .DSC indicated that the melting point and crystallinity of polymers decreased significantly when the ratio of decamethylene diamine and hexamethylene diamine was close to 1:1. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the thermal stability of the samples was improved with the increase of decamethylene diamine content. The results of the boiling water extraction demonstrated that the contents of two amine monomers and the oligomers in the polyamides with lower melting point were less than 0.63%, which can be directly used in the subsequent processing.

      In order to study the influence of spinning parameters on the orientation of nanofiber, the modified gap conductive plate method was adopted to fabricate PCL aligned nanofiber membrane. The mass fraction of PCL was set at 12% in this study, and a mixture solution, DCM/DMF (5/1,v/v) was used as solvent. The orientation degree of PCL nanofiber was observed by POM microscopy, and analyzed according to the definition of orientation degree. The effect of two spinning parameters, spinning distance and copper gap, on the orientation of PCL nanofiber was discussed in detail. The results showed that the orientation degree of PCL nanofiber was decreased with the increasing of spinning distance, while too small spinning distance would reduce the nanofiber orientation degree. Moreover, the orientation degree of PCL nanofiber also increased with the enlargement of copper gap in the receiving device, when the copper gap increased to a certain distance, the orientation degree of PCL nanofiber membrane trended to keep a fixed data.

      In order to detect the influence of yarn evenness on the fabric appearance, a new method was proposed for constructing digital woven fabric (DWF) using sequence yarn images. The yarn diameter was combined with the gray texture distribution of elementary interlacing points based on the woven structure model and curve model of light intensity. And then the mathematical model of digital woven fabric was constructed. In experiment, the diameter data of yarn, which was obtained by processing the yarn sequence images based on image segmentation and morphology operation, was applied to the mathematical model for constructing digital woven fabric. Different digital woven fabric images were discussed by changing the relevant parameters. The proposed mathematical model can really reflect the effect of yarn evenness on the fabric appearance and accurately predict the surface effect by selecting the reasonable parameters.

      To evaluate the accuracy of the fabric model used in virtual cloth, it is necessary to compare the bending properties between the virtual fabric and real fabric. A new method is proposed to test the bending property of woven based on image processing. An instrument has been made to collect the bending shape of woven fabrics under the cantilever beam tests. The real fabric bending under its own weight consists of warping which is inevitable in most cases. Therefore certain curve a mid-curve selected from five candidates has been proved to be the suitable bending curve to represent the bending shape of the fabric. An approach of the mid-line representing the fabric’s bending properties has been developed after calculating the bending stiffness of fabric’s five different curve. This calculation and test method have been validated by experimental observations and correlation with KES test method.The results of tests on 45 degree and 41.5 degree inclined plane also reached a good consistency.

      The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of a series of stainless fabrics are tested by the Flange coaxial method(30 MHz~1.5 GHz) and the shielding chamber method(1~18 GHz,18~26.5 GHz). Under the two different testing methods, the distribution of the electric field component and the magnetic field component on the sample surface is obviously difference. The shielding chamber method could reflect the directivity of the anisotropy fabrics and the Flange coaxial method could not. Because the electromagnetic wave length is longer in the Flange coaxial method, the same metal fiber distance and the aperture of the same size would affect the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness tested with the Flange coaxial less than with the shielding chamber method. Only the electromagnetic shielding fabrics, with the same metal arrangement spacing in the warp and weft yarn, with macro isotropic electric properties, would follow the same regularity tested with two kinds of test methods, and also is the economic and effective optimum structure form to the unknown direction electromagnetic waves.

      In order to improve the versatklity of detection algorithm on varying fabric defect types, an algorithm for woven fabric defect detection using dictionary learning (DL) is proposed. Firstly, normal fabric image is divided into small image patches and unfloded into a column vector, then all the column vectors are combined into a matrix. Secondly, the matrix composed of column vectors is solved by DL, and then the optimal dictionary(basis vectors) are extracted. Finally the dictionary is applied to reconstruct testing samples, where the reconstruction error between original and reconstruction image is used for defect detection. Effect of the patch size and number of dictionary is also investigated. Experiments on 4864 samples show that the proposed method can achieve 90% of detection rate with false detection rate below 10%.

      The projection transformation and the local weighted mean conversion method based on polynomial fitting is proposed to correct the deformation of weft knitted loop image, perspective and lens distortion which influences automatic identification accuracy of stitch structure. Combined with the need of the development for hand-held device, the standard templates were designed and feasible correcting process was set. A general scheme correction of the perspective distortion and lens distortion are designed in the paper. The correction scheme for fabric stitch distortion are also been discussed. The experiment results showed that the presented approaches have satisfactory effect for distortion correction of weft knitted fabric image.

      In order to monitor and evaluate of corporate carbon emissions, quantitative analysis and model establishment of carbon emissions in garment production process are quite important. Based on rules and definitions of carbon emission, the paper analyzed organizations of garment production lines and emission factors of cutting, sewing and finishing processes from production equipment, transfer process, waste emissions and labor consumption respectively, establishing the corresponding calculation model. All the energies are transformed into carbon dioxide equivalent in order to assessment carbon emissions conveniently later. In addition, the theoretical model provides a reference for analysis of carbon emissions in garment production processes, applicable to tracking analysis of corporate carbon emissions as well as the reference of organization in production optimization.
