      To investigate the structure and properties of polyester/polymer (PET-A) fiber, the structure and thermal stability of PET-A fiber were studied by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) , X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). At the same time, fiber’s tolerance under different conditions of alkali、acid、oxidizing agents and reducing agents were analyzed. Result shows that PET-A fiber is composed of polyester and polyamide two components and its crystallinity is 46.95% . The thermal stability of PET-A fiber is better, and the glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature and melting temperature are 70℃、150℃ and 233℃, respectively. The tolerance of PET-A fiber in sodium hyddroxide solution is poor and the weight loss rate of fiber more than 97% under the conditions of NaOH 80g/L, 90℃ and 60min. But PET-A fiber has better tolerance in sodium carbonate solution, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and sodium dithionite solution. However it has poor tolerance in nitric aced solution.

      Biodegradable bolylactic acid (PLLA) and collagen were chosen as raw materials. PLLA and  polylactic acid/collagen (PLLA/Coll) nanofibrous scaffolds with different morphologies (randomness and alignment) were prepared by electrospinning to study the properties and the guiding function of aligned nanofiber for the cell growing. Firstly, the morphologies, chemical and mechanical characterizations of different nanofibrous scaffolds were carried out. Then mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were culred and the attachment and proliferation of cells on different scaffolds were evaluated. The results show that aligned nanofibers possess thinner fiber diameter, anisotropic morphology and performance, and the wettability and mechanical properties in parallel direction are better than those in perpendicular direction. Composite PLLA/Coll scaffolds have cell-recognition moieties, which can improve the attachment and proliferation of cells. Hence, MSCs cultured on aligned PLLA/Coll scaffolds express aligned spindle phenotype, more similar to the phenotype of native MSCs.

      In this paper, the factors influencing the polypropylene (PP) fibers diameter prepared by melt electrospinning were discussed. The influencing factors, such as flow rate, temperature of polymer melt, applied voltage, distance between nozzle and target and electric field force were considered. The molten polymer deposited on the target at 0.05 mL/h was fibrous shape and the diameter of elecrospun fibers was in direct proportion to the flow rate. After polymer melt temperature reached up to 260C° (temperature of molten polymer)/280℃(temperature of spinneret), the diameter did not decrease any more. When the electric field force was constant, as the voltage and spinning distance before 30 mm increased, the average fiber diameter decreased. The flow rate was 0.05 mL/h, temperature was 260 °C/280C (polymer melt/nozzle), voltage was -24.6 kV and distance was 30 mm. The electrospun fiber under the parameters above was 6.23 μm, and standard deviation was 1.42.

      In order to evaluate the yarn apparent evenness more precisely and continuously, a method based on sequence images of yarn was developed and applied to measure the yarn evenness. At first, an image acquisition system was adopted to acquire the sequence images of yarn. Then, the images were segmented to binary images based on FCM ( Fuzzy C-mean ) clustering. Finally, a threshold value was set to remove the isolate points and burr points in the binary image and acquire yarn core image. The number of pixels of each row was accumulated in the yarn core image to calculate the yarn diameter value. To verify the accuracy of the proposed method, seven kinds of compact-spinning pure cotton yarns with different counts were measured and the results compared with those by USTER® Tester 5-S800. It shows that the results of yarn evenness measured by sequence images are highly correlated with those by the USTER tester, proving the proposed method is accurate and feasible.

      In order to study on the reincarnation properties of PU-coated multi-axial warp knitted fabric, five directions with 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5° and 90° of this material were cut for uniaxial tension experiment. The tensile curves and the elastic modulus were analyzed. The deformation behaviors were observed and Poisson’s ratios were calculated by utilizing the digital image correlation (DIC) system. Lastly, orthotropic model was used to predict the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio in 22.5° and 67.5° directions. It is found that this coated fabric has a great elongation with more than 400% in five directions. And the closer to 67.5° is,  the greater of the elastic modulus is. At the beginning of tensile, it can be obtained by the DIC system that the transverse shrink deformations are inhomogeneous, it shrink faster in the center but slower at the edge of the specimens, but the longitudinal tensile deformation is relatively uniform. There is a good prediction of the initial modulus and Poisson’s ratio by using orthotropic model, and the absolute error value is less than 23.69%.

      It seems that only stone tools/hard tools existed in human civilization. No soft tools especially any twist- formed and flexible tools with some tying, hanging, fixing function had ever beendiscribed. Therefore, by the existing historical material objects and using the method of trace exploring analysis, from the aspect of pictogram record, pottery and hard tool it is proved the twist formed tools in paleolithic already exists and has achieved the evolution from the old twist formed tools to the new twist formed tools before the neolithic. It is concluded that old spinning tools appeared the same time as psleolithic and new twisting tools appeared 100 000 years ago. Human's tool history has not been a lonely one stone and there is more wisdom and complex, but it seems to be ignored and date wrong, that is twisting tool. At the same time, the new and old twist formed tools are defined and classified. As a kind of soft tools, their form and/or function traces on the Neolithic stones are discussed and explained. Fabric is not narrow as modern understanding of the scope. Twisting tool has an irreplaceable role for the evolution of the progressof human civilization and tools.

      Tieguanyin tea extract was used as natural dye to dye wool fabrics directly at pH vallues of 3.5, 5.5 (pH of original tea extract), 7.5 and 9.5. The antibacterial properties of dyed wool fabrics were studied. The results indicated that dye solution pH value has great influence on K/S value and color of wool fabrics. When the pH value of dye solution was 5.5, the dyed wool fabric exhibited the maximum K/S value. The dyed wool fabrics have good rubbing and washing fastness, but poor sunlight fastness. The fabrics became darker under light, and the effect of light decreased as dye solution pH value rose. When dye solution pH value was 5.5, the antibacterial rate of dyed wool fabrics to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was highest, at 98.9% and 93.2%, respectively. The antibacterial rate decreased when dye solution was more acidic or alkaline, especially the dye solution was alkaline.

      As industrial workers may be threatened by hot water splashes, the study investigated the heat transfer of fabric upon hot water splashes. The orthogonal experiment was designed to test performance of 11 kinds of fabrics under conditions different water temperatures, splash angles and splash heights. The experiment was conducted by a hot water protective performance tester, and the 2-grade burn time was adopted to characterize the thermal protective performance of fabric. The effects of the fabric property and splash condition on the thermal protective performance were analyzed. The results show that water-proof finish can improve the thermal protective performance of fabric. The splash condition and fabric peoperty influence the thermal protective performance in different position of fabric. The temperature of hot water is the most important factor influencing the thermal protective performance. The thermal protective performance of upper position of fabric is primarily related to the splash condition. The protective performance of the lower position is influenced mostly by the fabric property.

      Based on the significant influence of warp tension on warp knitting production, the KARL MAYER type warp knitting machine was used to carry out the experiments. Firstly, the elasticity coefficient of elastic element for the compensation device was tested, and then three groups of tension spring installation density and tension spring specifications were selected, the warp tension test experiments were carried out by changing the elastic coefficient. The experiment data analysis shows that by changing the tension compensation device related parameters, the slastic properties of compensation device could be changed, which can adjust the compensation on warp knitting tension. The results show that the maximum dynamic tension of warp increases with the elasticity coefficient of tension compensation device, and the minimum value first increases then decreases. The average dynamic tension of warp rises, and the variation coefficient increases. This indicates that with the elastic coefficient increase of tension compensation device, the compensation effects decreases.

      The exisiting fabric defect detection methods based on image processing is poor in real-time performance and low in accuracy. In order to solve this problem, an algorithm consisting of two stages of learning and detection was proposed. By means of learning the gradient energy features and their distribution properties of non-defect model images, parameters in the detection stage were obtained automatically. On the one hand, by using integral image theory, summation operation in the image patch with arbitrary size was simplified to three addition operations, and gradient energy features in fabric images were extracted very quickly, so that fabric defects can be detected in real time. On the other hand, kernel functions were used to fit the distribution of feature parameters, mean shift method was used to solve the peak value in the distribution, and an adaptive threshold was obtained, so that fabric defect can be segmented precisely. In the experiments, the proposed algorithm was compared with the other three methods, respectively, based on local binary pattern features, wavelet features and regular band features. Tests on fabric image datasets including three kinds of textures and six kinds of defects show that the proposed method has an average running time 56 ms and the accuracy rate is 97%.
