Abstract Based on polyphenols pigment of natural green cotton and its structural instability, the scavenging 1- diphenyl - 2 –picrylhydtazyl (DPPH) radical method was used to study the effects of temperature, light irradiation, acid-base condition on the antioxidant activity of green cotton pigment. The results showed that high alkali conditions had great influence on the antioxidant stability of natural green cotton. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of green cotton pigment fell to 2.97% ,when the pigment was treated in the alkali solution with the pH value of 13.When adjusted to neutral, green cotton pigment recovered to 81.38% of its original radical scavenging ability, indicating that most of radical scavenging ability lost resulted from the alkaline condition was recoverable. The ultraviolet spectra measurements demonstrated that the main structure of pigment was unchanged when in the alkaline condition, but the structure of some components of the pigment had changed irreversibly .Light irradiation had significant effect on antioxidant activity of the pigment of naturally green cotton. The radical scavenging ability of green cotton pigment dropped to 57.10% when the pigment was exposed to the sun light for 5 days. It was found that on significant change in radical scavenging ability of green cotton pigment was caused, when treating the pigment at 150 ℃ for 1 h.

The corn bracts and their fiber were tested in structure and properties with digital fabric thickness meter, electronic fabrics strength tester, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray crystal diffraction (XRD) in order to develop their application. Experimental results show that the thickness, horizontal and longitudinal strength of corn bracts all reduce gradually from outer layer to inner layer. Corn bract is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, and after chemical treatment the content of cellulose increases to 43.79% and that of hemicellulose and lignin decrease. The microscope images show that the surface of corn bract is rough and randomly distributed with holes. The single fiber in corn bract has irregular cross-section and high hollowness. In addition, its longitudinal surface is smooth. X-ray diffraction analysis show corn bract and its fiber both have the crystal structure of celluloseⅠ, with crystallinity of 38.9% and 57.85%, respectively.

in this paper, by means of self-made fiber compression device and current testing system based on LabVIEW, effect of volume density, voltage, relative humidity and temperature on random cotton fiber assembly current relaxation was experimentally investigated. It was found that: with volume density increasing, time of random cotton fiber assembly current from peak to stable value reduces to some extent; with the increase of voltage, time of current from peak to stable value decreases; with relative humidity and temperature raising, the time of current from peak to stable value shortens. In order to obtain the accurate fiber conductance, the testing time is considerably selected by cotton assembly status, testing voltage, relative humidity and temperature.

To investigate the moisture absorption property of the seed fibers of the wild Calotropis gigantea (C.gigantea) growing in Yunnan, China, the moisture regain of C.gigantea in standard atmosphere and water absorptive capacity were measured and compared with cotton fiber. The moisture adsorption/desorption curves and the moisture adsorption/desorption rate curves were analyzed. Experiment results articulate that C.gigantea fiber exhibits superior hygroscopicity compared to that of cotton; and under standard atmospheric conditions, the equilibrium moisture regain of C.gigantea is 11.4 %. The hysteresis between the sorption and desorption isotherms of C.gigantea fiber is higher than that of cotton across all relative humidity range. The C.gigantea fiber’s moisture adsorption-desorption behavior can also be described using an exponential model. Its moisture desorption rate and the difference of the moisture absorption and desorption equilibrium time are significantly larger than that of cotton fiber. The hygroscopic capacity and moisture absorption/desorption rate of C.gigantea fibers are higher compared with cotton fibers. Thus, C.gigantea fabric is more wearing comfort than cotton fabric. Both C.gigantea fiber and cotton fiber exhibit poor infiltration property, but the adsorption capacity of C.gigantea fiber, being 133.62 %, is significantly higher compared with cotton (74.98 %). It concludes that fibers extracted from C.gigantea pod can be an ideal source of absorbent materials.

SiO2 nanoparticles and non-ionic surfactant tween 80 were filled into PVDF so that PVDF ultrafiltration membranes were prepared through the phase inversion method, SiO2 emulsion was dispersed by ultrasonic and nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed through ultrasonic cavitation. The effect of different ultrasonic time on the degree of crystallinity was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), using total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) studied the crystal structure of the membranes. Surface and cross-section morphology of the membranes were observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that different ultrasonic time did not change the crystalline state of the membranes and the microstructure was different with the ultrasonic time. At last, hydrophilic, mechanical strength and permeability of membranes were also characterized. The experimental datas showed that the hydrophilic and mechanical properties with the increasing of ultrasonic time appeared the best values, but after that, the properties were becoming weaken. The result of pure water flux was the same as above, but the ultrasonic time had no significant effect on the retention of bovine serum albumin.

Non-isothermal degradation properties of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate were studied and compared by multiple linear regressions (MLR). Kinetic parameters, such as activation energy Ea, pre-exponential factor Z and reaction order n, were calculated by kinetic analysis software. And on this basis, relations between the extent of conversion, temperature and time of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate were predicted. The results show that polyethylene terephthalate exhibits good thermal stability, which initial degradation temperature is higher than polybutylene terephthalate at the same heating rate. However, its rate in thermal decomposition is faster. All of those are related with the chain structure and the oligomers produced in thermal degradation.

In order to study the sound absorption properties of discarded wool fiber, a novel wool nonwoven material was prepared by a traditional non-woven technique with discarded wool fibers as the main raw material. Using the transfer-function method and standing wave tube method, the sound absorption properties of wool nonwoven materials in a frequency range of 250–6300 Hz were studied by changing the thickness, density, and cavity depth. Results indicated that wool nonwoven materials exhibit excellent sound absorption properties, which at high frequencies are better than that at low frequencies; at the sound waves of low frequencies, as thickness, density and cavity depth increase, sound absorption properties improve. The thickness and cavity depth are the main factors affecting the sound absorption properties of the material, moreover, it is an economic and reasonable way to increase the sound absorption properties of the material by enhancing the cavity depth.

To overcome the drawbacks of conventional peroxide bleaching of cotton fabric such as high energy consumption and extensive fiber damage, N-[4-(triethylammoniomethyl)benzoyl]caprolactam chloride (TBCC) was synthesized for use as a peroxide bleach activator in this paper by one-pot method, which allowed cotton fabric to be bleached under near-neutral pH conditions at low temperatures. TBCC synthesized by the one-pot method was confirmed with proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR). Experimental results showed that, compared to the conventional synthesis method, the one-pot synthesis method could increase the final yield of TBCC by 35.2%. TBCC prepared by the one-pot synthesis method had the same bleaching effect as the the one synthesized by the conventional synthesis methods. Compared to the conventioal peroxide bleaching, the TBCC-activated peroxide system could provide cotton fabric withh equivalent degree of whiteness and slightly inferior water absorbency, but caused no apparent damage to cotton fibers. The one-pot synthesis of TBCC had advantages such as simplified operation, shortened process, reduced energy consumption, increased product yield, and as such lowered cost.

To enhance the photostability, silk fabric was treated with the benzotriazole structure ultraviolet absorber UV-FAST W (UVFW for short). The photoyellowing course of silk was measured and analyzed during the ultraviolet irradiation. Effects of concentration of UVFW on photoyellowing and on phototendering of silk fabric were analyzed. Then, the wet fastness of silk treated with UVFW was discussed. At last, the UVFW was used to the dyed silk with acid dye and its impact on the color index and light fastness was discussed. The results show that the photostability of silk treated with 1% (owf) UVFW was improved obviously, but the photostability was no longer improved obviously when the UVFW concentration continued to increase, and the whiteness of treated silk will be reduced with the increasing of UVFW concentration. The wet fastness of silk treated with UVFW need to be improved further, because the photostability of silk treated with UVFW was reduced significantly after washing same times. The color index and light fastness of dyed silk will be affected by UVFW, but effects were different and related to dye structure.

Firstly, the dynamic characteristics of the four-bar linkage beating-up mechanism are analyzed. And the influence of the four-bar linkage beating-up mechanism on the vibration of the loom wallboard is analyzed based on the finite element method. Through analysis, the relationship of the crank angle of rotation and the forces of beating-up mechanism, the maximum vibration stress and acceleration of loom wallboard are established. Lastly, the location of the maximum vibration and the maximum stress are determined. The results show that the resonance frequency of the wall wallboard is about , which is very close to the main vibration frequency of the air jet loom. The maximum vibration of the loom wallboard is mainly concentrated near the beating-up mechanism. However, the maximum stress is mainly concentrated near the middle and lower part of the loom wallboard, not the largest vibration of the loom wallboard.

Abstruct: In order to make a primary research in the relationship between the quality of drawing sliver and the quality of vortex spinning yarn. Support vector regression machine prediction model optimized by GA is built up. 19.7tex and 11.8tex vortex spinning blended yarn of polyester and viscose（the blending ratio is 67:33）is selected as the experiment object. Yarn strength and CV of yarn unevenness are predicted while four quality parameters of drawing sliver (CV of yarn unevenness, moisture regain, quantification of sliver and unevenness of quantification) are used as the input parameters of prediction model. BP neural network model is also built to make a comparison with the aforementioned model. After a comparison between these two models, the result shows that the model of the optimized support vector regression machine performed a more powerful reliability and accuracy and it can describe the non-linear relationship between the quality of sliver and the quality of vortex spinning yarn more appropriately than BP model.

Inversion model of traditional worsted spinning process parameters is defective because of unsatisfactory convergence and stability, poor generalization performance and low inversion accuracy. Besides, standard genetic algorithm (SGA) shows premature convergence in the application of complicated optimization problem. Therefore, the paper put forward an inversion model of mixed population genetic-artificial neural network (MPG-ANN) on the basis of BP neural network. First of all, the author established the prediction model by optimizing the weights and threshold of BP neural network through mixed population genetic algorithm. On this basis, the author created the inversion model of mixed population genetic algorithm according to the CV value of yarn and used it for the inversion of process parameters during worsted spinning production. Next, by taking lots of test data of field process in spinning workshops as the object, the author conducted inversion verification with the wool top oil content and spinning draft multiple of process parameters. The results show that the inversion accuracy of MPG-ANN model reaches 97% and increases by 4% relatively to SGA-ANN model. In addition, the fluctuating margin of the inversion results of MPG-ANN model reduces by 6.28% at most relatively to SGA-ANN model. Finally, the author predicted the CV value of yarn on the basis of inversion results. The average prediction accuracy increases by 4.25% relatively to SGA-ANN model, showing MPG-ANN model is superior to SGA-ANN model in terms of generalization performance.

Aiming at solving the shortage of weft knitted facquard fabric in 3-D simulation speed and realistec simulation aspects, a computer simulation system of 3-D weft knitted jacquard fabric is established based on the 3-D virtual fabric Unity3D platform with curved surface model. Firstly, the estalishment and import of 3-D model and textuer data were realized by data acquisition and union for the curved fabric surface. Secondly, a three factors simulation algorithm for complex jacquard fabric was put forward to control the effect of the fabric model.Three factors including subsidence depth, number of iterations and sphere of influence were determined to maximize fitting with the real data of actual fabric. Based on this and combined 3-D engine Unity3D platform, the integration of 3-D model data woth2-D spatial data and 3-D virtual simulation was realized. In comparison with the simulation of the loop model, this experiment based on the real data of fabric and could be proved to be more effective for the prediction and simulation of 3-D weft knitted jacquard fabric.

The silk fibroin degumming from silk, which have the advantages of good biocompatibility, high biodegradable, weak inflammation after implanted into body, is a natural polymer fiber protein. Thus, wound dressing based on SF would have broad application prospects. However, wound dressings made of native silk fibroin are insufficient to meet the several functional requirements of ideal wound dressing, limiting its clinical application. Therefore, many research focus on improving its function nowdays. This paper reviews the research progress of different functional dressing types based on silk fibroin at home and abroad in recent years and the application prospects of wound dressing based on fibroin have also been expected, in order to provide beneficial reference for the research on the clinical application of wound dressings.
