      In order to improve the piezoelectric performance of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), PVDF/ATO/TiO2 composite piezoelectric membrane was prepared by electrostatic spinning combined with filler blending. Influences of the antimony tin oxide (ATO)/TiO2 content on diameter, morphology, crystallization and contents of β phase and  γ phase of the monofilament of the membrane. The scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrum and differential scanning calorimeter were used to characterize the microscopic morphological structure and crystallization structure of the fibrous menbrane material. The piezoelectric performance testing results of the PVDF/ATO/TiO2 composite membrane show that electrostatic spinning is an effective method to impeove the content of β phase in the PVDF. Moreover, the addition of ATO/TiO2 not only induces the oriented crystallizatio to form more β phase and γ phase, but also stabilizes the conformation formed during electrostatic spinning, resulting in better piezoelectric performance. Besides, after the addition of ATO/TiO2, the mechanical properties of PVDF fibrous membranes are impeoved to a certain extent.

      Aining at the problem of inaccurate descripion of the theoretical model of the tensile mechanical behaviors of multi-component yarns, based on the Vangheluwe model, the tensile behavior of three-strand high performance composite yarn was analyzed, but the tensile behavior of three-strand high preformance composite yarn is not suitable for describing quasi-linear fiber, and the major disadvantage of the Vangheluwe model, however, is modified, that is, elastic modulus is equal to zero without strain to obtain a model accordingly. Taking the application of Jacobian matrix and Hessian matrix in nonlinear least square method (LSM) into cinsideration, the nonlinear regression equation was solved by MatLab, and the goodness of fit value reached 0.999 86. The physical meaning of the modified model was more precise, moreover, the accuracy of which was higher. In addition, one element model of the nonlinear and linear spring model was also employded to describe the tensile behavior of composite yarns. The results show that the two models has good fitting with the measured values of the composite yarns, and the theoretical analytec results on goodness of fit walue present at 0.999 85 and 0.99 04. Finally, the linear spring model of the element proposed can be used to characterize the average modulus of the tensile process of the composite yarns.

      To investigate flexible, wearable and stab-resistance materials, high-performance 1414-aramid fiber(48.2 tex) and 0.06 mm 304stainless-steel wires were employed to produce stab-resistant fabric by adopting core-spun yarn preparation process, and optimizing the spinning process parameters to obtain optimum yarn twisting number. The mechanical properties of yarns and the stab resistance of fabrics were tested. And the influence of number of laminated layers on stab-resistance performance was investigated by changing the number of laminated layers. The results show that when yarn is wrapped at 200 twists / m, its fracture strength is 77.99 cN/tex, and harmful hairiness index is 90.42, which are suitable for subsequent weaving of fabrics. The knife-stab and spike-stab performance of plain fabrics has positive correlation linear relationship with the laminated layer number of the fabrics. The damage mechanisms between knife-stab and spike-stab are different; and spike stab is caused by yarns slip, and knife-stab results from yarn cutting and fracture.

      In order to enhance the fixation rate and color build-up property of reactive dyes in the conventional pad-steam (P-S) dyeing process, a vacuum-dewatering  procedure was incorporated. Factors influencing the wet -steaming dyeing of reactive golden yellow SRE, such as the water content of the padded cotton fabric, the steaming time and sodium carbonate dosage were investigated. The color build-up property and rubbing fastness of the cotton fabrics dyed using the pad vacuum-dehydration steam (P-Vac-S) process and the P-S process were compared as well. The results show that cotton fabrics padded with 25 g/L dye liquor exhibited higher K/S value and dye fixation rate by reducing the fabric water content down to 20% ~ 30% by vacuum-dehydration prior to the steaming stage. The steaming time of 5 min and sodium carbonate concentration of 25 g/L were appropriate for dyeing of padded cotton fabrics with (25 ± 2)% water content. The K/S value of the cotton fabric is impeoved by 15% ~ 30% when dyed by the P-Vac-S process, compared with that by the P-S process, however, the rubbing fastness of the cotton fabric obtained by the former process was a bit poorer than that by the later process.

      In order to obtain optimized structural parameters of melt differential electrospining, finite element analysis software (ANSYS) was employed to simulate and analyze the distribution of the electric field intensity in multiple cone needleless melt differential electrospinning. The influence of design paramenters on the electric field intensity was anslyzed. The effect of inner diameter and extend distance on the electric field intensity distribution of spinning edge and spinning path was discussed respectively. The results indicate that the electric field intensity of the spinning edge was weakened with the increasing cone number, and for double cone needle-free melt differential electrospinning, the influence of inner diameter size on electric field intensity distribution of spinning edge is not obvious. While the extend distance of inner cone increase gradually, the difference value of electric filed intensity between inner and outer cone is found to decrease firstly and then increase. In particular, the electric filed intensity distribution of inner and outer cone is the most similar and the jet spacing of inner and outer cone is almost identical when the inner cone diameter is 26 mm, and inner extend distance is 6 mm. The experimtntal results are consistent with the simulation results.

      A low-cost testing apparatus used for testing the oil content of cellulose acetate fibers online was designed. Cellulose acetate fibers before and after oiling were tested, respectively, using two capacitance sensors (NO.0 sensors and NO.1 sensors). Then the oil content of fibers was calculated according to the voltages difference of two sensors. The test was divided into two phases: firstly calibrated the sensors; changed the revolving speed of the oiling roller to change the content of emulsion on cellulose acetate fibers, then measured the change of the output voltage of the sensors. The results show that a significant linear correlation esists between the output voltage of the cacitance sensors and the linear density of oilless fibers. For the emulsion of a certain concentration, the output voltage of the NO.1 sensor is positively correlated with the emusion volume on the fibers. Aquadratic function about the oil content and the output voltage was established. The differences between the oil content calculated using the function and that calculated using oven drying method are less than 5.2%.

To solve this problem, a method referring to the human visual perception mechanism for detecting yarn evenness based on saliency algorithm was proposed. Firstly, the color and brightness features were extracted from the collected yarn image saliency of for saliency analysis to highlight the yarn evenness area. Then the iterative threshold segmentation algorithm and the area filtering were adopted to obtain accurate and clear yarn evenness binary images. Based on the binary images, the diameter and yarn evenness were calculated, and the yarn defect was determined. The edge accuracy evaluation shows that the proposed method of saliency analysis can obtain the yarn evenness binary images with better segmentation. Compared with the evenness detection result of the Uster Classimat 5, the results obtained by the method are accurate and have a good consistency with those of the Uster Classimat 5.

      In order to analyze different factors influencing customer perceived service quality in clothing stores, with the classic service model of SERVQUAL as the theoretical framework, combined with industry characteristics, service quality characteristics and China's cultural background, an initial evaluation scale of customer perceived service quality in clothing stores was constructed in the paper. Based on the evaluation scale, data of 535 valid questionnaires collected were processed and key-factor dimensions of customer perceived service quality were obtained: service attitude , professional ability, reliable assurance and tangible evidence. And a four dimensional measurement model was constructed. Service attitude had the greatest influence on customer perceived service quality, professional ability had similar influence as reliable assurance, and tangible evidence had relatively smaller influence. The confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the model. The results showed that the model had reliable reliability and validity.

      To solve the problem of inadequate application of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibrous materials in the production of industrial textiles, several modification processes of the nitrile groups to coordinating groups including amidoxime, amido, carboxyl and other groups on PAN fiber were firstly introduced in this present work. The reaction models of different modified PAN fiber with transition metal ions or rare earth metal ions and properties of the resulting complexes were then compared. Moreover, the applications of modified PAN fibers in fields of heavy metal ions removal, trace metal ions detections, concentration of rare metal ions and novel metal ions, as well as green catalyst preparation were also reviewed. Finally, the introduction of new coordinating groups, recycle ability and usage of nano-fibrous membranes were regarded as the important developments for promoting the application of PAN fibrous materials in the production of industrial textiles in the future.

      In order to study the influence of the air gap in firefighters' protective clothing on thermal protective performance, the development progress, the latest developments and the existing problems of the research were reviewed from three aspects, including the thickness and location, the influence factors and the mesaurement methods of air gap in firefighters' clothing. The future trends in this area were predicted based on current research status. The thermal protective performance of firefighters' protective clothing are influenced by the thickness and pesition of air gap entrapped in firefighter clothing, which is mainly influenced by fabric mechanical properties, clothing fitness and body motion. Currently, the three-dimensional body scanning technology is widely used for measuring the distribution of air gap in firefighters' protective clothing. Future research should pay more attention to the mechanism analysis and the development of measurement methods of air gap in firefighters' clothing.
