      In order to obtain change material with high thermal stability of the phase, the morphologically stable phase change materials (PCMg) were prepared by nano hybridization firstly with poly (ethylene glycol) as phase change material and porous nanomaterials as carrier. Then polyamide 6 (PA6) was used as cortex, and blending material of PCMg / PA6 was used as core layer. The sheath-core mass composite energy storage and thermo-regulated fibers of polyamide 6 were prepared by melt spinning according to sheath-core ratio 3:7. The structure and properties of the fibers were characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analyzer, K-type thermocouple thermometer, field emission scanning electron microscope, multifilament strength tester and so on. The results show that strength of the energy storage and thermo-regulated fibers of polyamide 6 is 2.52 cN/dtex, and the elongation at break of fibers is 30.5%. The fiber can achieve intelligent thermostat in the temperature range of -10.71 - 22.87℃ and 38.96 - 58.33℃. When the addtion amount of PCMg is 10%, the enthalpy reached up to about 9.02 J/g

      In order to synthesis a new type of antibacterical fiber, chitosan grafted antibacterical viscose factor fiber was prepared using viscose fiber as raw material, chitosan as polynuclear antibacterical frament and epichlorohydrin as cross linking agent. The process was optimized, and the structure, bacterial resistance and dyeing property of the fiber were characterized. The results show that the optimum process conditions are the mole ratio of chitosan to epichlorohydrin of  1:0.3, the mass ratio of fiber to chitosan of 1:0.8, the temperature of 100℃, the reaction time is 5 h. 2.0% of chitosan is grafted to surface of the fiber under the conditions, and the grafted thickness of chitosan is up to 0.495μm. The fiber has inhibition ratio of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumonia and Candida albicans is up to 90%, 88%, 91% and 99%. respectively. Owing to the chitosan, the dyeing fastness and the color fastness of anionic dye are significantly improved, but the dyeing property of cationic dyes are reduced.

      In order to improve the indoor air puality, polypropylene (PAN) nanofibers were coated on conventional glass-fiber screen by electrospinning to prepare anti PM 2.5  window screen. The influence of spinning solution concentration and base material of the window screen on the microstructure of the electrospun nanofibers were studied, and the anti PM 2.5 effect, transparent and air permeability of the window screen were also investigated. The results show that when the concentration of PAN spinning solution is 10 %, the voltage is 20 kV and the time is 0.5 h, the well-distributed nanofibers with mean diameters of 170 nm can be formed. On the window screen surface, the PAN films are deposited on the warp and weft yarn with a thickness greater than those deposited on the gap of the window screen. This structure improved the connected force of the nanofiber film with the window screen and the permeability of the window screen. However, the transparency of the wondow screen decreases by 12% and air permeability decreases by 35% due to the deposition of PAN nanofibers. With the increasing of PM2.5 testing time, the adsorption effect is increased. Some organic functional groups are adsorbed on the screen surface. Then the indoor air quality became better. After 2 h testing, the rejection ratio of PM2.5 reaches 63%. With the increasing of PM2.5 adsorption, the transparency and air permeability of the window screendecrease correspondingly.

      In order to realize the objective evaluation for carding properties of different fibers, its carding was theoretically discussed from the analysis of fiber states in its assenbly, and the relationship with the fiber properties was statistically explored from material characteristics. It is provided that carding performance is an organic combination of the four dimensions, namely, separation, cluster, straightening and card-to fail of fiber. The property data of 20 kinds of fibers were obtained by instrument tests. These main factors were extracted by principal component analysis, and the four-dimension theory was confirmed. The results indicate that the separation factor, card-to-fail factor and straightening factor were positively correlated with carding performance, while the cluster factor was negatively related to carding performance. The computational model of the carding index was established according to the main factor contrebution ratio to realize the level evaluation on carding performance of different fibers. The larger the carding index, the better the carding performance. Moreover, the clasification model of carding performance was proposed, which was in good agreement with carding practice. According to carding difficulty, fibers were divided into five kinds of carding performance from easy to difficult.

      In order to solve the problem that the feeding location of three colored roving in different combinations bave different color effects while spinning melange yarn using three-channel ring digital spinning technology, a new method was proposed to measure the color proportion of each component fiber on the surface of melange yarn. By using white roving as tracing object and black roving as background object, a digital microscope was used for continuously sampling images of melange. Then, these images were analyzed by MATLAB, and the area proportion of the tracer fiber in each image was figured out. The area proportion of each component color fiber fed by the corresponding location was acquired. Three rovings of two black and one white were adopted to spin pure polyester yarn of Z twist and melange yarn of S twist at the same proportion by changing the feeding location of white roving. The color proportion of different feeding locations were acquired by the image process. The results show that those yarn with Z twist are 36.84% and 32.21%, reapectively, and those with S twist are 32.09%, 31.00% and 36.91%, respectively.

      In order to enhance three dimensional(3-D) effects of woven fabrics, this paper presented an integral pleated structure with 3-D characteristics. In terms of technical difficulties in warp tension variation in the weaving process, the paper analyzed shaping principles and the shaping process of integral pleated woven fabrics, and identified key techniques of weaving pleated structures. Additionally, the paper designed an innovative warp let-off mechanism with self-adaption function. A case study of the warp let-off device design and pleated woven fabric development indicates that in pleated area weaving, lower warp beam is stopped but the tension deviation of lower warp yarns is increased because of the reed friction, and its yarn tension is 45 cN, while the tensionof upper warp yarns is around 20 cN. This tension situation can meet tension requirements of warp yarns and realize effective and stable weaving of pleated fabrics; moreover, the length of each pleat can vary from 0 to 23 cm with significantly 3-D effect.

      In order to discover the relationships between auxetic property and energy absorption of warp-knitted spacer fabrics under uniaxial tension, warp and weft tensile were exerted respectively to fabrics with four different knitting structures reconstructed from rotating hexagonal models, and stress-strain curves were obtained and processed so as to evaluate their auxetic properties and energy absorption. Results show that energy absorption of fabrics is determined by both structural deformation capacity and yarn loading capacity in which the latter plays a dominant role while the former has little influence. The effects of auxetic properties on energy absorption are included in the structural deformation capacity. Higher energy absorption comes with better auxetic performance under uniaxial tension with the same yarn loading capacity.

      In order to solve the problem on constant cover factor of the braided protective layer of mandrels with a rotary curved surface such as torpedoes and projectile, this paper proposed a method for realizing braiding of constant cover factor by controlling the proportional relation between the spindle speed and the pulling speed. A mathematical model of the braiding cover factor related to the braiding angle, mandrel radius and cone angle was built based on the analysis of local braiding structure. By the inverse solution method, the local fabric pulling speed and the spindle rotation speed were acquired firstly, and then model were extended to all length range of the variable diameter fabric by integral principle. By using MatLab, the variation of braiding point height, braiding angle and pulling speed about the mandrel radius was calculated, and the density of the different part of the fabric were tested by the Solidworks model. The results show that the braiding cover factor of each part of the mandrel is equal, verifying the correctness of the newly built mathematical model.

      In order to explore the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) stab-resistant composite with a dendritic structure, a dendritic stab-resistant composite with  UHMWPE filaments sandwiched between PET/PA6 hollow segmented-orange bicomponent superfine fiber layers were prepared by of combination needle punching and spunlacing. The stab resistance and moisture permeability of the samples were characterized. The results show that superfine fibers exist in the UHMWPE filament layer in the form of fiber clusters to form superfine fiber channels, the UHMWPE filament layer and the superfine fiber layers are tangled with each other to form the samples with a dendritic structure under the impact of needle punching and spunlacing. Needling density and needling depth have significant influence on the moisture permeability, and the moisture permeability of the samples is 889.20 g/(m2·24h) when the needling density is 274.37 punches/cm2 and the nedling dipth is 7.70 mm. Furthermore, the quadratic models have high confidence, and can be applied in the theoretical analysis of the moisture permeability of the UHMWPE flexible stab-resistant composites with a dendritic structure.

      In order to investigate the influence of degumming to silk dissolution and fibroin properties, silk degummed by Na2CO3 and urea was dissolved in CaCl2-CH3CH2OH-H2O ternary system, respectively. The degumming rate, structure of degummed silk, dissolution process and rheological property, film-forming and microsphere properties of fibroin were tested by color spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, gel electrogphoresis, scanning electron microscope.  Results show that some fibroin will be dissolved in Na2CO3 degumming, resulting in a higher degumming rate, while the whiteness of silk degummed by Na2CO3 is lower, compared with urea degumming. In addition, Na2CO3 degumming had a great influence on the crystallinity of silk, and the heavy chain molecular unit of silk fibroin was damaged seriously in Na2CO3 degumming, facilitating the penetration of Ca2+ ion to fibroin to cause the degummed silk fiber easier to be dissolved. However, the molecular weight of silk fibroin is lower, and the structural viscosity of fibroin liquid is smaller, the mechanical properties and transmittance of silk fibroin membrane are reduced by Na2CO3 degumming process, and the particle size of blank microspheres from Na2CO3 degumming is smaller and the particle size distribution is more concentrated, compared with urea degumming.

      In view of the problem of low production efficiency, uneven dyeing in cold pad-batch dyeing process, the cotton fabrics and Tencel/cotton fabrics were dyed with reactive dyes salt-free continuous pad-steam dyeing process. The stability of padding solutions were measured using AGS analyzer. The special alkali was used in pad-steam dyeing with the SNE reactive dyes, and the dyeing effect was compared with that of pad-batch dyeing. The results show that the stability and diffusion properties of dye solutions were affected by alkali composition and time. When the dyeing solution with mixed alkali is placed for 10 min, the stability index is 0.72, which are 2.6 and 2.1 times higher than that of dye liquors with special alkali and Selilao. The special alkali and Selilao can improve the diffusion performance of padding solutions. The Integ values of the dyed cotton fabrics (army blue, coffee) obtained from the salt-free continuous pad-steam dyeing process are 2.9 and 2.7 times higher than that of dyed fabrics using cold pad-batch dyeing process, respectively. The color fastness of dyed fabrics is more than 3 grades, which is in accordance with the production requirements. The salt-free continuous pad-steam dyeing process can also be used in reactive dyeing for Tencel/cotton union fabrics with the advanages of high productivity and darker color depth.

      In order to improve the physical properties of cotton yarn to adapt to the high speed warp knitting production, the preteratment technology of cotton yarn were studied. Taking three kinds of cotton yarn with different fineness and indigo dyed cotton yarn as the experimental objects, the low temperature starch, low temperature PVA, lipuid-wax and white oil as the pretreatment agent, the influence of 4 kinds of pretreatment agents on sizing ratio, breaking performance and hairiness properties of 4 kinsa of cotton yarn was studied, and the yarn surface was observed by scanning electron microscope. The results show that the low temperature PVA and liquid wax can decrease the hairiness and improve the stuength of cotton yarn. The low temperature starch can improve the hairiness and the sprength, but reduce the elongation of yarn. White oil can cause the decreases of yarn strength and elongation. The change of the surface properties of indigo yarns due to indigo dyeing make them different from the other three kinds of cotton yarns after the pretreatment.

      In order to research diffusion process of ink droplets on silk woven fabric during jet printing, taking the micro reactive dye ink droplets as the research object, diffusion behavior of droplets with different droplet volume and on different silk woven fabrics was researched. The effect of pretreatment agent on the diffusion shape and area were analyzed. The results show that diffusion shape for micro reactive dye droplet on silk woven fabrics is cross shape on fabric with larger compactness and oval shape on fabric with too small compactness. The central length of diffusion is linear related to droplet volume. Diffusion periphery length holds steady after rapidly increased with increasing volume of ink droplet. Excessive amount urea would make diffusion area increase, and a small amount urea is able to narrow the area spread on silk fabric. Sodium alginate and cationic modifier reduced the degree of diffusion, and sodium alginate can change diffusion shape, which transforms cross shape into oval.

The data analysis shows that the leakage and energy consumptio increase with the increase of the pressure drop and the temperature change. Through the experiments, numerical and theoretical analyses, the influence mechanism of the comperssed air in the air jet loom is revealed. On this basis, the leakage was discussed and the repair was optimized. The test results show that it can effectively reduce or even eliminate the leakage through the regular management, maintenance and reair of the weft in sertion of air-jet loom.

      In order to remove the texture information from the textile pattern while preserving the main structure information, a penalty operator was proposed to smooth the main structure and texture of the textile pattern differently in the process of weighting the least square method. The main structure sample database and the texture sample library of the textile pattern were established to verify the validity of the penalty operator. In order to solve the problem of large time cost of large sparse matrices in the solving the process of the least squares method, a hierarchical preprocessing model was adopted to reduce the time consumption of sparse matrix solution to speed up the extraction of the main structure. Using the textile pattern sample library, it is verified that the hierarchical preprocessing can reduce the time of main structure extraction by about 50%.

      Focusing on problems that the pattern design of cardigan is complicated and existing CAD software designs the pattern only by the weave plan and thus can not show the actual effect, the loop structure model of knit loop, tuck stitch, cross stitch and floating line baesd on weft knitting was established, and yarn connection modes after different types of loops were combined, and the logical relation between the organization collocation principle and yarn arrangement was put forward. Combined with spring-mass model, the deformation due to the pulling among fifferent loops of cardigan was investigated, the mass point stressing was analyzed, and the loop deformation was simulated. With the present loop model, the cardigan basic CAD design was realized by VC++. By the rendering of OpenGL, the two-dimensional  model has a three-dimensional simulation effect. Therefore, the pattern of cardigan can be designed directly by the coil diagram, and the resulting patterns are real.

      Aiming at the problems of serious distortion in the body deformation of 3-D garment simulation, an algorithm of left-right section structure of human body was provided. The body wasdivided into front and rear parts and deformed, respectively. First of all, the processed point cloud body was used to identify the feature of the body, and the points on the shoulder line and side seam were selected and designated as the feature points. The 3-D coordinates of these points were marked and obtained. Secondly, the space quadric equation was introduced and constructed as left-right section model by analysing coordinate data from these feature points. Thirdly, based on the surface reconstruction of reverse engineering, the 3-D coordinates of specified feature points were substituted into the quadric equation, the system of non-homogeneous linear equations was constituted, and the parameters of the system were solved and the quadric equation coefficients were obtained. In the end, the quadric surface equation constituted the left-right section was applied to the simulation of human body, and a left-right section containing the feature points was built. The algorithm accurately constructs the left and right section of the body which divides the body into two parts. The section a good effect when the section is applied to the body deformation of the garment simulation.
