In order to obtain eco-friendly, flexible, permeable and piezoelectric materials and to widen applications thereof in nanogenerators, sensors and wearable electronic devices, the high piezoelectric ZnO/PVDF composite fibrous membranes were successfully prepared by electrospinning. The morphology, structure and piezoelectricity of samples were characterized by the scanning electron microscope, attenuated total reflectance fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and oscilloscope. The results demonstrate that the addition of appropriate contents of zinc oxide nano-particles (ZnO NPs) in PVDF fiber matrix contributes to improving crystallinity and electroactive β cuystal form concentration of PVDF fiber to some extent, leading to the increase of the total crystal form of PVDF. Meanwhile, ZnONPs have piezoelectricity, which further enhances the piezoelectric performances of the composites. The output voltage of the ZnO/PVDF composite fibrous membranes are improved dramatically. The output voltage of the composite membrane is up to 60V when the content of ZnONPs is 30%, which is increased by 200% in comparison with pure PVDF fibers.

In roder to solve the low oil absorption problem of comventional fibrous oil sorption mats, the polysulfone (PSF) and polylactic acid (PLA) superfine fibrous membranes were prepared by electrospinning to increase the oil absorption capacity of fibrous adsorption maerials. The influence of morphology structure of fibers, pore structure, oleophilicity and hydrophobicity of the fibrous membranes on oil absorption and oil retention wrer studied. The results show that the PSF and PLA superfine porous membranes have excellent oleophilicity and hydrophobicity, while the fiber diameter, pore diameter and porosity between fibers, oleophilicity and hydrophobicity, and volume expansion degree of membranes after oil absorption bave great influence on oilabsorption capacity. The mesopores (2 ~ 60 nm) on the surface of dibers have no obvious influence on improving the oil absorption. However, the high porosity and through-out pores of membranes do not facilitate oil retention. When the membranes contact with oil for 1 h, the oil absorption capacity of PLA membranes is 50.1 g/g for pump oil and 34.6 g/g for linseed oil, while the oil absorption capacity of PSF membranes is 147.8 g/g for pump oil and 131.3 g/g for linseed oil. The oil retention of PLA membranes is decreased by 42.04% for pump oil and 53.69% for linseed oil, while the oil retention of PSF membranes is decreased by 62.17% for pump oil and 50.61% for linseed oil, after natural draining for 1 h.

In order to further improve the piezoelectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles with ferroelectric properties were used as inorganic fillers in the PVDF matrix, and BaTiO3/PVDF nano-composite fibrous membranes were prepared by electrospinning method. The structures and properties of BaTiO3/PVDF fibrous composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, impulse voltage test. The influences of BaTiO3 on the crystalline structures and piezoelectric properties of fibrous composites were also investigated. The results show that both the electrostatic stretching during the electrospinning process and the nucleation function of BaTiO3 nanoparticles are beneficial to promote the formation of PVDF β phase.  When the addition of BaTiO3 is 10%, the content of β phase of fibrous composites is 90.8% and the output voltage of fibrous composites in creases from 20 V to 50 V. The prepared BaTiO3/PVDF nano-composite fibrous membranes have good piezoelectric properties.

In order to improve the conductivity of polyester (PET) fiber, a novel method based on in-situ polymerization of aniline for the continuous preparation of conductive yarn was presented, and conductive polyester/polyaniline (PET/PANI) composite yarns were prepared by this method. The influence of parameters of conductive treatment such as concentration of oxidant, doping acid and aniline and processing speed on the electrical conductivity of composite yarns was discussed, and the morphological structure, chemical structure, thermal-gravimentric performance and mechanical properties were also studied. The results indicate that the substrate yarns are coated and filled with conductive PANI. The concentration of reaction mixtures and processing speed greatly affect the conductivity of conductive PET/PANI composite yarns, and the conductivity can reach above 1.5 S/cm. The thermostability of the treated yarns is decreased due to the existence of PANI. Compared with the substrate yarn, the breaking strength and breaking elongation of the treated yarns are increased slinghtly while the initial modular decreases greatly.

In order to analyze the tensile property and failure mechanism of 3-D braided composites, three-dimensional five-directional (3D5d) and three-dimensional six-directional(3D6d) hybrid braided composites with carbon fibers and aramid fibers as axial and braiding yarns were designed and manufactured. A digital Image correlation (DIC) technique was used to record the surface full-field strain distribution of samples during tensile loading. At the same time, the Poisson’s ratios was also obtained by DIC. The test results show that Poisson’s ratio is mainly influenced by braided architecture. For the same braided architecture, the carbon-aramid  hybrid 3-D braided composites with carbon fiber as axial yarn maintain the tensile strength and modulus of carbon 3-D braided composites, while the ultimate tensile strain is higher than that of carbon -3D braided composites. the carbon-aramid hybrid 3-D braided composites with aramid fiber as axial yarn significantly improve the ultimate tensile strain of the composites, but seriousily losed the tensile strength and modulus of the composites. For the same hybrid braided structure, the tensile strength and modulus of 3D5d were higher than those of 3D6d. The ultimate tensile strain of 3D5d and 3D6d show few differences. The high strain regions of hybrid braided composites (axial yarns are aramid and carbon fibers, respectively) are appwoximately lattice and wave line distribution, respectively. The high strain regions of 3D5d and 3D6d are distributed uniformly and transversely, respectively.

In order to the fiber configuration in the airflow of the rotor spinning channel, especially the transfer channel, which has a great influence on the rotor spun yarn properties. The airflow characteristics in the rotor spinning channel were obtained by numerical simulation, then the fiber dynamical equations were developed. The motion of straight and leading hooked fibers in the transfer channel were discussed. The simulation results shwo that vortices exist at the transfer channel inlet, and the distribution of the air velocity in the transfer channel cross section is uneven, and the air velocity in the transfer channel center is higher than that near the wall, however, the air velocity is increasing from the transfer channel inlet to the outlet. The fiber tends to move along the transfer channel center which has higher air velocity. The accelerating air helps the straight fiber to maintain its form and straighten the hooked fiber. The time to straighten the hook increases with the increasing of the bending degree, while increasing the air velocity in the transfer channel is conducive to decrease the time.

Aining at the problems of less research on the gradient colored yarn at home and abroad, and incapability of realizing the accurate control of yarn surface color and segmentation length during the production process, the mechanism of the control on the blending ratio by three-channel digital ring spinning drawing was studied. The forming principle of gradient colored yarn having the color gradient characteristics of hue, brightness and purity and spun from three rovings of magenta, yellow and green was analyzed, which were fed by three channels and drafted in gradient ratios. The sample gradient colored yarn is 27.76tex and has 10% color gradient of magenta, yellow and green. The appearance, yarn evenness and tensile mechanical properties of the sample gradient colored yarn were studied. The results show that the control on the blending ratio of magenta, yellow and green rovings by the three-channel digital ring spinning gradient draft achieve the color gradient characteristics of the gradient yarn. The breaking strength and yarn evenness of the gradient yarn are slightly lower than those of pure colored yarn, with the same specification.

Aiming at the lack of evaluation method of dynamic tension of warp knitting yarn obtained by high frequency testing instrument, an index, i. e. , the probability density curve and kurtosis, skewness used to evaluate the overall fluctuation of warp knitting yarn tension was proposed. In order to test the feasibility of the index, warp yarn tension within 30 s under five different machine speeds were tested by high frequency testing instrument. The probability density curve and kurtosis and skewness were used to analyze the tension data. The research results show that the krutosis of warp yarn tension under five different machine speeds are smaller than 0, and the skewness are greater than 0. The kurtosis and skewness decline with the increase of machine speed. Combine with the probability density curve, the research results show that with machine speed increase, the fluctuation of yarn tension decrease, which means yarn tension is more balanced. The results verify the feasibility of this evaluation method because it’s consistent with the actual knitting situation.

In order to investigate the silver-resistance sensing performance of warp -knitted conductive fabrics silver-plated nylon and spandex or polyester were ured to knit four different fabric structure samples on the tricot warp knitting machine. These four samples were characterized by varied knit strures and elasticity. The change in resistance in the four of fabric samples under tensile condition had been recorded. Analyses of the influence of the microstructure and elasticity proffered by spandex content on the strain-resistance sensing properties had been analyzed. The results show that the silver-plated nylon conductive yarns employed possess good knittability. The resistance of the inelastic warp-knitted fabrec decreases with the application of strain. The piezoresistive response shows an initial declining in resistance, following by a smooth momentum and then acconpaning by an upward transition. The sensitivity increases under small strain. Conversely, the resistance of the elastic warp-knitted conductive fabric increases with the increase of strain at the beginning and then tends to stabilize midway and then reduce in the final phase.

In order to enhancing the dye fixation rate of reactive dye in pad-steam dyeing process, the influence of the fabric heating rate on the dyeing properties of reactive dye was investigated to search the method of salt-free dyeing with high fixation rates. The temperature of fabric in the steaming process was calculated using the thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity measured. The influence of dye liquor composition and fabric pickup on the variation of fabric temperature was investigated. Besides, the colour performance and fastness of the dyed fabrics as well as the dye fixation rates were studied. The results indicate that the fabric heating rates are increased by adding the Na2SO4 into padding solutions, thereby enhancing K/S value and dye fixation rate. However, it does not meet requirements of the salt-free dyeing. Increasing the pickup resulted in increasing the thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity of fabrics, but decreasing the temperature of fabric. The K/S values of dyed fabrics and the dye fixation rates increased as the fabric pickups decreased, which is substantially in accordance with the variation of the fabric heating rates. The phenomenon confirmed that enhancing fabric heating rates is conducive to improving the dyeing properties of reactive dye. Reducing the fabric pickup can increase the fabric heating rates, which is an effective way to realize salt-free dyeing in pad-steam dyeing.

In order to solve problems of easy breakage and low heat transfer efficiency when phase change microcapsules (microPCMs) were prepared for heat-storage and thermo-regulated textile, MicroPCMs were prepared based on noctadecane core and melamine-urea-formaldehyde shell with O2 plasma modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by in-situ polymerization. The influene of addition modified CNTs on mechanical and thermal properties of microPCMs were investigated. MicroPCMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscope, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal constant analyzer. SEM images show that the microPCMs with CNTs are spherical and have relatively smooth surface. The results indicated that the mechanical and thermal properties of microPCMs can be remarkably improved by addition of moderate modified CNTs. Especially, when 2% of modified CNTs are added, the elasticity modulus and thermal conductivity of microPCMs are improved by 190% and 187%, respectively; and the heat enthalpy and encapsulated efficiency of microPCMs still can reach 224.4 J/g and 74.07%. Addition of modified CNTs into microPCMs is beneficial to enhance mechanical and thermal properties of microPCMs and facilitate temperature regulating performance of heat-storage and thermo-regulated textiles.

In irder to improve the cytocomtatibility of polyester (PET) materials, polypyrrole (PPY) with good biocompatibility was coated on PET fabric.  in situ polymerization using different solvents was used to prepared polypyrrole coating with different surface performances. The performance of dynamic blood clotting test was carried out to characterize anticoagulant properties of composited materials. The reaults show that defferent surface morphologies and K/S values can be acquired using different solvents and different ratiosfor the mixed solvents. The K/S value is smallest in the water as the solvent. For ACN/water solvent, with the increase of ACN/water ratio, the K/S value increases and the surface of PPy/PET is smoother when ACN/water ratio is smaller. BCI is the best when CTAB/Py is 1：2, improvwes about 140% at 5 min compared to the uncoated PET fabrics. Anticoagrlant peoperties are related to micromorphology and surface properties of PPy.

To solve the problem of warp knitting electronic shogging system optimization caused by the difference of electrical and mechanical characteristics, the variors parts of system were modeled on the basis of overall control principle, which covered servo drive and motor model, signal conditioning and feedback model, mechanical transmission mechanism, and the whole system simlation model was connected according to the input and output relations of transfer function. The model was verified and compared by MatLab/Simulink. The simulation oscillation gradually converges and quickly stabilizes through the system step response, which verifies the accuracy of the model and the stability of the system. In ouder to further study the dynamic and static characteristics of the system, the speed controller parameters were taken as an example, the system step response of different speed proportional gain was analyzed. The results show that increasing the speed proportional gain is beneficial to the system dynamic response of the electronicshogging system, while the gain increases to a certain value, the system will oscillate and even can't be used.

In order to establish a scientific and effective evaluation standard of colorimetry indexes for colored spun yarns, a large-area macro image acquisition system,  based on digital color measurement theory, was designed and implemented to solve the problem of conventional macro image acquisition on limited vision field, providing large area macro images for extracting and analyzing chromatic features. According to the specific coloring mechanism and process of colored spun yarns, a model combined global color features with local texture features for colorimetry index was established, consequently. Extracted third-order color moment features and color local directional pattern features can not only make full use of the complementarity between global and local features, but also combine diversities from different color spaces. Experimental results indicate that the extracted diversity features can accurately and steadily characterize the tiny changes of colorimetry indexes, and demonstrate ideal effectiveness and robustness of the fusion algorithm. Meanwhile, compared with conventional spectrophotometry, the designed novel systemis more adaptive and practical.

In order to wel adapt the woven fabric texture and reduce the algorithm running time, three basic weave patterns (plain, twill and satin) were chosen as trained samples to learn an adaptive dictionary by K-means singular value decomposition (K-SVD) dictionary learning approach. In order to select appropriate sparsity cardinality T for different applications, peak sognal to noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measurement  (SSIM) wer chosen as evaluating preformance indexes. For regular fabric texture image reconstruction, T=6, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method not only can approximate fabric samples well, but also can improve the quality of reconsturcted image (in terms of PSNR and SSIM), in comparison with discrete cosine transformation dectionary. In addition, for fabric flaw detection, T=4, the K-SVD can well adapt samples with defects, and has stronger capability of identifying defects, compared with discrete cosine transformation dictionary.

In order to improve simulation of warp knitted plush fabrics, an approach based on fractal noise and geometry shader was proposed to solve the roblem of stiff or messy plush when defining the direction as consistent tangential or completely random. The randomness of plush using fractal noise was calculated, and then the  generated fractal noise was as a texture to feed the GPU for further adjustment. A set of chips along the tangential direction of plush were used to represent a plush. According to the relation between the tangential direction of the plush and the observation, two different chips were defined to ensure displaying continuous plush at any viewpoint. 3-D simulation of warp knitted plush fabric was realized by using a geometry shader of GPU. Comparison with real fabrics, the approach is proved superiorly naturalistic with real-time efficiency.
