In order to obtain the wool keratin solution with high fiber dissolution ratio and large protein molecular weight, the dissolution method of wool fibers was studied and optimized. On the basis of using organic phosphonic compounds (LKS-610) to effectively cleave the disulfide bonds in fibers, the dissolution state of pre-treated wool fibers in formic acid solution was studied. The fibers dissolution ratio, keratin solution viscosity and protein molecular weight distribution were tested as evaluation criteria, the optimal process for preparing keratin solution by using reducing agent-formic acid method was obtained, and the stability performance of keratin solution was also analyzed. The optimal dissolving process of wool fibers is that the mass of the pretreated wool fibers is 5 g, the volume of formic acid is 100 mL, the temperature is 50 ℃ and time is 5 h. Under the conditions, the dissolution ratio is about 65% and the molecular weights of keratin are distributed at 40-50 ku, 26 ku and 14.4 ku. In addition, the keratin solution shows good stability at normal temperature.

In order to enhance the mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) fiber, polypropylene(PP) was melt blended with PLA, then PLA/PP blend fiber was prepared by melt spinning. The thermal property, heat stability, tensile property and orientation degree of the PLA/PP fiber were tested using differential scanning calorimeter, thermal gravimetric analyzer, universal testing machine, fiber birefringence meter, respectively. The results show that the addition of PP has no significant effect on the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of PLA, but the crystallization behavior of PLA is improved, and the degree of crystallinity enhances by 585.9%. With the increasing of PP content, the heat stability of PLA is decreased, especially the initial decomposition temperature is decreased obviously, but the carbon yield is increased. Meanwhile , the degree of orientation and mechanical properties of the PLA/PP fiber are enhanced. When the PP mass fraction is 20%, the orientation degree, breaking strength and elongation at break of the PLA/PP fiber increase 55.6%, 98.2% and 44.4%, respectively.

Aiming at the poor heat resistance of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), excellent heat resistance and poor dyeing property of polysulfone amide (PSA), a series of nanoyarns were prepared at different spinning voltages and collector rotating speeds by using a self-made dynamic electrospinning machine, with the concentration of spinning solution and the receiving distance kept constant. The structure and properties of the composite nanoyarns were studied by using scanning electron microscope, single yarn strength tester, capillary effect tester, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and thermogravimetric analyzer. The experimental results show that the morphology of nanoyarns are significantly affected by spinning voltages and the collector rotating speeds. In addition, the mechanical properties of nanoyarns are also affected. It is found that the nanoyarns could achieve a better performance in morphology, strength and heat resistance at spinning voltage of 25 kV and collector rotating speed of 40 r/min. The nanoyarns show a better wicking performance at collector rotating speed of 60 r/min and spinning voltage of 30 kV.

In order to prepare novel selective adsorption fibers containing calixarene, calixarene polyamide acid (CPAA) fibers were firstly prepared by amidating and electrospinning. Subsequently, the calixarene polyimide (CPI) fibers were obtained by thermal imidization of the CPAA fibers. The CPI and CPAA fibers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, scanning electron microscope and thermogravimetric analysis. The adsorption selectivity and adsorption kinetics of the CPI fibers were also investigated. The results show that calixarene is successfully incorporated into the CPAA and CPI fibers. The CPI fibers possess smaller diameter and higher thermal degradation temperatur by comparison with the CPAA fibers. Only the CPI fibers can adsorb Pt(IV) selectively from the mixture of Pt(IV) and Ag(I). The maximum Pt(IV) absorption capacity of CPI fibers is 28 mg/g at pH 7, and its adsorption behavior fits well with the first-order adsorption kinetics model. The adsorption rate constant is 0.003 9 min^-1 at 20 ℃ and increases with the elevating adsorption temperature. The required activation energy for adsorption is only 12.24 kJ/mol, which indicates the CPI fibers adsorbing Pt(IV) is easy to occur.

Electrospun polyacrylonitrile/boron nitride (PAN/BN) composite nanofibrous membranes with different mass ratios were used as supporting materials to overcome the problems of poor thermal conductivity and the leakage problems of capric acid-palmitic acid-stearic acid (CA-PA-SA) ternary eutectic acting as solid-liquid phase change materials. And then innovative CA-PA-SA/PAN/BN composite phase change fibrous membranes were prepared by physical adsorption. The influences of BN nanoparticles with high thermal conductivity on their morphological structure, thermal performance, as well as thermal energy storage and release rates were studied. The scanning electron microscopy images reveals that the morphological structure of CA-PA-SA/PAN/BN composite phase change fibrous membranes are unaffected by the addition of 10 % BN nanoparticles. The differential scanning calorimetry results suggest that the melting temperatures and enthalpies of the prepared composite phase change fibrous membranes are about 25 ℃ and 136.4-138.6 kJ/kg, respectively. Heat transfer test results indicate that the integral heat transfer performance of CA-PA-SA/PAN/BN composite phase change fibrous membranes are improved by virtue of the addition of BN nanoparticles with high thermal conductivity, and their melting and freezing times are shortened about 38% and 41%, respectively.

In order to identify fresh cocoon raw silk and dry cocoon raw silk, the surface morphology and structure properties of the two kinds of raw silk were characterized and compared by using electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermal gravimetric analysis and contact angle test, respectively, and then on the basis of the difference between their surface properties, an relatively simple and accuracy identification method for the two kinds of raw silk was established. The results indicated that the two kind of raw silk have the similar chemical composition, p-sheet conformation and thermal decomposition curves. However, compared with dry cocoon raw silk, fresh cocoon raw silk has a more uneven surface and a bigger gap between single fibers. Additionally, it showed less crystallinity and better hydrophilicity than dry cocoon raw silk. The two kinds of raw silk were efficiently identified using a method based on determination of their settling times in sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate aqueous solution. The accurate rates of this method are as high as 100% for fresh cocoon raw silk and near 80% for dry cocoon raw silk, respectively.

In order to explore the blending effect of multi-channeled rotor spun, the color matching model was established by Friele theory. Model parameters of the Friele model of digital mixed color mixed yarn was calculated by the reflection of the two-component and three-component samples spun by roving of red, yellow and blue, respectively, two-component and three-component model parameters were obtained and compared with model parameters calculated by other researchers. The results show that the four model parameters calculated by this experiment are better to predict the color characteristics of multi-channeled rotor spun color-blended yarn than those recommended by the other researchers for both the two-component and three-component samples. Among them, compared with the model parameters calculated by the assignment method, the model parameters related to wavelengths for predicting the average color difference value of two-component and three-component samples reduce by 0.42 and 0.48, respectively. When the tolerance range is 1, the sample qualification rate is improved by 33% and 50%, respectively.

Aiming to the difficult production of the warp-knitted three-layer and double color stereo jacquard shoe-upper in one-time for the ordinary double-needle bed jacquard warp knitting machine, a comparative analysis was made on the weaving institutions of double needle bed one/double-jacquard warp knitting machine and two-color sesame point effect and the pure two-color jacquard effect, and a new comb configuration method and jacquard control system and new jacquard method were proposed. According to the new comb configuration method, the double needle bed seamless warp knitting machine was modified, and the interval comb was installed. The new jacquard control scheme was adopted to control the Pre-Jaka comb to weave in front needle bed selectively. In combination with a new color block jacquard process that overcomes the drawbacks of the existing two-color process due to excessive dots or slices connections hard to line the spacer filaments, a two-color stereo jacquard shoe with a spacer layer was successfully woven on the upgraded RDJ6/2 warp knitting machine finally. The results show that the key for development of warp-knitted three-layer and double color stereo jacquard shoe-upper is the assembly optimization of knitting structure, control system and jacquard process.

For solving the easily-cracking and poor-integrated problem of laminated composites, the zigzag 3-D woven spacer fabric with the basalt fiber filaments tows as warp and weft yarns were fabricated on the common loom by reasonable design, which had three different spacer heights. The 3-D woven basalt fiber spacer composites were obtained from epoxy vinyl resin as matrix and 3-D woven basalt fiber spacer fabric as reinforced material by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process. Then, the three-point bending property of 3-D woven basalt fiber spacer composite was tested by using RGY-5 microcomputer to control electronic universal machine, and the load-displacement curves, absorption energy-displacement histogram and failure model were obtained. Results show that the main bearing direction is the weft of material. The more numbers of organization will have better bending property at the rang of certain heights, the values of the load and absoption energy are bigger with the higher spacer height. The failure model of zigzag shaped 3-D woven spacer composite is that the upper surface of the material is under pressure, the bottom surface is under tension, and the connecting layer is under pressure. Under the bending load, the material are not integrally destructed, but obviously deforms.

In order to obtain long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites with high weight ratios and high degrees of orientation, a stretch-breaking process was adopted to prepare glass fibers (GF) and polypropylene (PP) filaments into bi-component slivers. The slivers were aligned in two perpendicular layers, and the resulted hybrid-fiber was subjected to hot pressing to form GF/PP long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. The morphology of the composites was observed, and their static and dynamic mechanical properties were characterized by using the tensile test, bending test, impact test, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The test results show that glass fibers with an average length of 22.9 mm has high straightness, highly oriented and dispersed in the PP matrix, and accounts for 45.73% of the composites. Glass fibers are fully saturated in the matrix, which provides the composites with a porosity of 1.58%. In comparison of composites prepared by extrusion molding and stretch-breaking process, the latter obtain greater mechanical properties. DMA results show that the glass transition temperature of composites is 73.4 ℃, and the composites retain good thermomechanical properties at 150 ℃ and maintain high storage modulus and small loss factor.

In order to further improve the handle feeling, permeability and other performance of the fabric printed by the organic pigment submicron capsules, vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (ViPDMS) was co-polymerized with acrylic monomer (Acr) by miniemulsion polymerization, and a series of P(DMS-Acr)/PB submicron capsules were prepared. Then the P(DMS-Acr)/PB submicron capsules with high viscous flowability were used for the pigment printing of polyester plain weave fabric, and the air permeability, stiffness, dry and wet rubbing fastness and K/S values of the printed fabric were tested and compared. The results show that when the mass fraction of ViPDMS is 30%, a uniform and stable dark latex with an average particle size of 318 nm can be obtained. The K/S values and the dry and wet rubbing fastness of the fabric printed by the P(DMS-Acr)/PB submicron capsules are similar with these of the PAcr/PB printed fabric, while the air permeability and the fabric stiffness are much better than the later. It is considered that the introduction of the silicone composition into the submicron capsule wall material can significantly enhance the viscous flowability and the phase separation capability of the coating on the fabric surface during the baking process.

Then, the self-purifying removal formaldehyde material of Mn_x/Ag_y-TiO₂-l-ACm-g-PAH (photocatalyst Mn_x/Ag_y-TiO₂ loaded PAH grafted activated carbon) was further assembled to eliminate the possibly secondary pollution by loading Mn_x/Ag_y-TiO₂(Mn and Ag co-doped nano-TiO₂) on the surface of ACm-g-PAH. The morphology and chemical composition of Mn_x/Ag_y-TiO₂-l-ACm-g-PAH were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. And then the catalytic formaldehyde data was fitted to the kinetic equation by software Originpro 8.5 and the dynamic law of catalytic formaldehyde for Mn_x/Ag_y-TiO₂-l-ACm-g-PAH was studied. The influences of activation time, activation temperature and N,N-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide(DCC) concentration on the formaldehyde removal rate of Mn_x/Ag_y-TiO₂-l-ACm-g-PAH materials were compared . The test results show that when the activation time is 2 h, the activation temperature is 650 ℃, DCC is 2% of the mass of activated carbon, and PAH is 11 mmol/L, its removal formaldehyde rate of the Mn_x/Ag_y-TiO₂-l-ACm-g-PAH is 99.6%. When the formaldehyde concentration loading is in the range of 5-28.2 mg/g, the formaldehyde removal rate of Mn_x/Ag_y-TiO₂-l-ACm-g-PAH show a tendency to decrease. After cleaning for 10 cycles, the self-purifying capability of the material is reduced to 12%.

The catalytic performance and mechanisms were evaluated by catalytic ozonation of hydroquinone. The results show that the catalytic efficiency of CoAl₂O₄/CH is the highest under the conditions of coating for 6 times, calcination temperature of 700 ℃, calcination time of 6 h and molar ratio of Co to Al of 0.4∶5. The specific surface area and pore volume are the highest and reach 45.47 m²/g and 0.05 cm²/g, respectively. Removal rate of hydroquinone is 84.51% and removal rate of COD is 50.60%. The prepared catalysts belong to the spinal structure and the coating has a sponge-like structure. The catalysts maintain high catalytic activity and stability after repeated use for more than 5 times. Therefore, the application is promising.

In view of the heaviness and stuffiness of current fireproof clothing, a honeycomb sandwich structure with heat insulation, high temperature resistance, moisture absorption and ventilation was proposed to improve its performance of functional protection and heat and moisture comfort. By analyzing the inherent heat transfer mechanism of honeycomb sandwich structure, 7 different kinds of honeycomb sandwich structures were designed and fabricated. The current typical layers of fabrics were chosen as the experimental samples. Taking into account of the fabric weight and the sorts of honeycomb sandwich structure, 21 kinds of experimental schemes were designed. Thermal protection performance (TPP) tester was used to evaluate the thermal protection performance, and further the effect of side length, wall thickness and core thickness of honeycomb sandwich structure on thermal protection performance of fireproof clothing was investigated. Experimental results show that the honeycomb sandwich structure is light and can meet the requirements of thermal protection performance. The smaller the side length, the larger the wall thickness and the larger the core thickness, the larger the TPP value of the fabric and the better the thermal protection performance.

In view of inaccurate subjective evaluation and difficult relation with objective evaluation of apparel fabrics color visual evaluation, the application of an eye tracker in this field was studied. Firstly, the simulated fabrics and 3-D simulated garments were designed with color scheme and lightness as the single variables. Then the fabrics and garments were adopted to carry out eye tracking experiments for fixation data, and questionnaires for subject's subjective preference were carried out. Finally, the correlation analysis of objective fixation data and subjective preference on fabrics and garments with the same color elements was carried out. It is found that the correlation coefficient between the fixation time and the subjective preference of the garments color scheme is 0.744, which is greater than that of the fabric color scheme 0.448, consistent with the results of the lightness variable. Therefore, the eye tracker can be adopted to establish a correlation between objective fixation and subjective preferences, and garments can more effectively reflect the overall effect of the apparel fabrics in the subjective consciousness of consumers, and has greater visual marketing value.

For rapid identification of wool and cashmere, a method based on the multi-feature fusion for the fiber identification was proposed. Firstly, the images of wool and cashmere fibers were captured by an optical microscope and a digital camera. Secondly, two kinds of preprocessing operations were carried out respectively, and the binary images of single fiber image and background free fiber were obtained. Then, the texture parameters of the first kind of cashmere and wool fiber images were extracted by the gray level co-occurrence matrix algorithm and the diameter parameters of the second kinds of fiber images were extracted based on the central axis algorithm. Finally, the texture and morphological feature parameters were fused into multidimensional array and the clustering analysis was carried out by the K-means algorithm. The experimental results show that the average identification rate of the algorithm proposed can reach 95.25%. Compared with the conventional single fiber feature extraction algorithm, the recognition rate is high, which confirmed that this method can be used for automatic classification and identification of cashmere and wool fibers.

Aiming at the modeling in digitalized innovation of blue calico patterns, a model for structuring blue calico elements was proposed based on cardinal splines, in which the rigidity of shape was expressed by the tension coefficient, and the concavity and variety were realized by configuration of the knots. Also the expressing of more complex elements by generalization of the model was discussed. The contour tracing technique was employed to extract pattern elements from the images, and the closest model instance was found out based on invariance of the Hu moments, then the model instances were transformed respecting to gravity, acreage and coincidence to meet the pattern elements so as to achieve digitalization of the whole pattern. The mapping function was introduced to create new patterns by filtering the model parameters, and the element model was applied to the pattern skeleton to modify it and bring about more outstanding innovations. The results show that the proposed methods have fine accuracy and efficiency in modeling and reconstruction as well as rich creativity in blue calico pattern innovation.
