The ancient fireweed textile technology for obtaining textile fibers is a cultural heritage of ethnic minorities. In order to study systematically the fiber and realize its popularization and application in the textile field, the basic structure and properties of wild fireweed fiber of Yunnan area and its network stripped from the back by hand were characterized by experiments. The studies show that the diameter of fireweed fiber is 1.05-5.76 μm, and it belongs to microfiber category. The longitudinal morphology of the fiber is characteristic of banded curvature, with folds and grooves on the surface, and the cross section is irregular elliptic with a cavity structure. The main components of the fiber are cellulose and hemicellulose with crystallinity of 55.52%. The thermal decomposition temperature of the fiber is 240 ℃, which has a good heat resistance. The content of lipid and wax is 6%, and the wetting angle with water is about 129.5° with good water-repellent ability. The moisture regain rate of the fiber is 11.69% and the moisture containing capacity is 10.47%, which is higher than that of cotton. Fireweed fiber has good resistance to acid and alkali at normal temperature, and the pH value of fiber water extract is 7.23, which is friendly to human skin.

Aiming at the improvement of hemostasis properties of silk fibroin materials fabricated by salt hydrolysis and enzyme hydrolysis method, the silk fibroin materials were prepared via a freeze-drying method. The molecular weight, water solubility and hemostatic effect of the resultant material were analyzed by gel filtration chromatography, water solubility test, coagulation factor test, platelet adhesion test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and rat liver injury model. The results showed that compared with the salt hydrolysis method, the enzyme hydrolysis method could endow a lower molecular weight and better water soluble, which is conducive to activating the coagulation factor XII to promote endogenous coagulation. Moreover, the platelet adhesion and platelet factor 4 content increase significantly, the amount of bleeding from the rat liver is reduced with shortened bleeding time, indicating better hemostatic effect than that of Yunnan white medicine.

In view of the destruction of disulfide bonds by increasing chemical reagents or high temperature treatment, resulting in the hydrolysis of amide bonds to generate small molecular polypeptides, ultrasonic treatment combined with reduction method was used to extract the keratin from the rabbit hair. The effects of ultrasonic treatment on the chemical composition and structure of rabbit hair keratin were investigated by protein electrophoresis meter, infrared spectrometer, fluorescence spectrometer and particle size analyzer. The results show that with the increase of ultrasonic treatment time, the amino acid composition of rabbit hair keratin remained constant, but the amino acid content decreased. The loss rate of cystine increased and the content of free sulfhydryl group firstly increases and then decreases, and the molecular weight increases gradually and mainly distribute in the range of 31-43 ku. The secondary structure changes from α-helix structure to β-sheet structure and random coil structure, and the particle size of the keratin decrease. The fluorescence spectra show that keratin has fixed structure and is not easy to agglomerate.

In order to identify cashmere and wool fibers accurately, this paper proposes a classification method based on sparse dictionary learning. Firstly, the fiber image is preprocessed to achieve data enhancement to achieve a fiber image feature matrix. Secondly, dictionary learning is performed on the feature matrix to obtain a complete dictionary and sparse coding. Finally, based on sparse coding and dictionary, the classification and identification of cashmere and wool is implemented. This method uses optical microscope images and scanning electron microscope images as data sets. Experiment results show that compared with support vector machine classifiers and sparse representation-based classifier algorithms, the classification accuracy of this method can be improved by 5%-10%, and the classification accuracy can reach up to 91%. It can be used for subsequent actual classification and identification of cashmere and wool fibers.

In order to develop a novel fibrous electromagnetic wave absorbing material, natural loofah was used as the base material of a carbon mesh, with Fe₃O₄ loaded onto the surface and internal pores of the loofah fiber through in-situ hybridization. The material properties were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, vibrating sample magnetometer hysteresis loop analysis and electromagnetic parameter analysis. Results show that loofah-based carbon material preserves the special hollow structure, Fe₃O₄ particles are uniformly distributed on the fiber surface and internal pores, and the synergy between dielectric loss, magnetic loss and fiber structure enhances the electromagnetic wave loss of the material. When the solubility of FeCl₃ is 2 mol/L and the processing temperature is 700 ℃, in the range of 2-18 GHz, and the sample has a thickness of 3 mm, the electromagnetic wave loss reaches -24.37 dB at 9.97 GHz, and at 7.33-10.33 GHz the electromagnetic wave loss in the frequency band is less than -10 dB. The loofah fiber can be prepared into electromagnetic wave absorbing material with excellent performance through suitable carbonization and Fe₃O₄ loading process.

In order to study the mechanical properties and parametric influence of yarn pull-out from aramid plain woven fabrics, an analytical model was proposed to provide the theoretical bases for subsequent numerical modeling. The micro-geometry of the plain woven fabric was generated through weaving process simulation using the digital element approach. On this basis, the yarn pull-out behavior of a single yarn was simulated by ABAQUS. One solid element is used through the thickness of the yarn and the yarn material properties were defined. The effect of transverse pre-loading and yarn-to-yarn friction on pull-out behavior and energy transfer mechanism were obtained. The simulation results show that the differences between the simulated peak pull-out force and the peak transverse force compared to the experimental ones are 5.96% and -8.51%, respectively. The external energy is mainly dissipated in the form of frictional energy. When the transverse pre-loading and yarn-to-yarn friction coefficient increases, the growth rate of the yarn peak pull-out force gradually decreases. The proposed model is capable of predicting the yarn pull-out performance with reasonable accuracy.

Eight types of bionic knitted fabrics with different structures were developed according to the microstructure characteristics of feathers by combining bionics and jacquard design techniques. Based on the comparison of thermal resistance, heat preservation rate, moisture permeability, air permeability and warp and weft core suction height, the gray near-optimal matrix was established to further evaluate the thermal and wet properties of the fabrics. The application suggestions of each fabric were put forward based on the thermal and wet map of male lower extremities. The results show that groove-like type Ⅰ, bionic feather sheet fabrics have good water absorption, and bionic feather twig, bionic pinnule, and groove-like type Ⅱ fabrics have excellent warmth retention. The air permeability of hollow bubble-like type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ fabrics is outstanding.

To solve the problem of poor toughness of polyphenylene sulfide, glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfide composites were prepared by mixing glass fiber fabrics with polyphenylene sulfide through hot pressing. In order to obtain better interfacial bonding properties, silane coupling agent KH560 was used to modify the surface of glass fiber. By means of scanning electron microscope, pendulum impact tester and universal tester, the changes of surface morphology of glass fiber treated with different concentrations of silane coupling agent KH560 and its effect on the mechanical properties of the composites were studied. The results show that when the mass fraction of the silane coupling agent KH560 is 2%, the glass fiber and the polyphenylene sulfide matrix achieves the best bonding, and the tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength of the modified glass fiber reinforced composite reach 51.9 MPa, 78 MPa and 39.6 kJ/m² respectively, representing increases of 57.8%, 51.8% and 48.3% compared with untreated.

As the number of looms exceeds 300 with more than 1 000 weaver's beams in the weaving workshop, the genetic algorithm is easy to fall into local optimal solution when solving such large-scale scheduling problems, and the traditional dynamic scheduling mechanism is not adaptable enough for complex production scenarios such as order insertion and proofing. An improved NSGAII algorithm was proposed in the paper. Considering the facts that the scheduling of a large-scale weaving workshop involves large numbers of looms, weaver's beams and products, and the unique inverse process scheduling relationship between weaving and drawing-in, a multi-objective large-scale scheduling model for weaving was constructed, aiming at the minimization of overdue loss, makespan, and idle time of loom. The encoding of heuristic rules was improved to reduce the solution space, and a greedy evolution operator was used in local and global correlation optimization to avoid falling into local optimization. A dynamic scheduling mechanism based on dominance relationship evaluation was adopted to improve the poor dynamic response mechanism and low ability against disturbance during production. Experiments show that the scheduling ability of the algorithm remains superior over other algorithms in a situation where there are 500 looms with 4 000 weaver's beams in a weaving workshop.

Conventional dyes are difficult to add color to ultra-high molecular weight poly-ethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. To address this problem, 1-hydroxy-4-p-toluylaminoanthraquinone and halogenated hydrocarbons were selected as raw materials, and three high hydrophobicity purple dyes, i.e. 1-p-toluylamino-4-anthraquinone hexyl ether, 1-p-toluylamino-4-anthraquinone decyl ether and 1-p-toluylamino-4-anthraquinone tetradecyl ether were prepared through Williamson etherification reaction. The target product was characterized and analyzed by infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Chem3D Ultra 8.0 software. The UHMWPE fabric was dyed through a high-temperature and high-pressure dyeing process, and the dyeing properties were discussed. The results show that with the increase of alkyl substituents, the hydrophobicity of modified dyes gradually increases, and the affinity with UHMWPE fabric is significantly enhanced. When the substituent carbon number is 14, the affinity between the dye and the fiber becomes 11.18 kJ/mol, and the rubbing color fastness and soaping color fastness reach grade 4-5.

In order to make polyester fabrics have differential dyeing effect, CO₂ laser was used to modify a polyester fabric. Taking the color depth value(K/S) as the index, the effects of laser treatment conditions such as power, speed and step distance on the dyeing properties of the polyester fabric were studied. The laser modification process was determined to be 5 W laser power, 150 mm/s laser speed and 0.2 mm step distance. The thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of Disperse Red E-FB dyeing modified polyester fabric were analyzed, and the color fastness of the modified fabric was tested. The results show that the K/S value of modified polyester fabric dyed with Disperse Red E-FB was 17.81, 54.24% higher than that of untreated, and the soaping fastness and rubbing fastness of dyed fabrics were both above grade 4. Laser modification can cause etching on the fiber surface, and result in increase in oxygen content, decrease in crystallinity and slightly increase in grain size, with little effect on the dyeing affinity of Disperse Red E-FB for modified polyester fabric. The dyeing heat (exothermic) is increased and the dyeing entropy (negative value) decreased. The half dyeing time and diffusion activation energy of Disperse Red E-FB dyeing modified polyester fabric are both decreased, and the diffusion coefficient demonstrates an increas.

In order to identify the influencing factors affecting the process of cyanotype exposure, a photocatalytic reactor with stable conditions was experimented as a new exposure method. The influence of printing factors such as photosensitizer concentration, cotton fabric type, ultraviolet(UV) lamp power and exposure time on the image effect of cyanotype process was investigated, and the optimized printing conditions of the cyanotype process were obtained. The properties of cotton fabrics were characterized by the scanning electron microscope, universal tensile tester and others. The results show that cotton fabrics with an areal density of 180 g/m² has the best cyanotype image effect when exposed to 600 W UV light for 30 min, with much improved efficiency. The lamp power is proportional to the exposure time, and both are found to be the main factors affecting the quality of cyanotype image. Comparing to the raw cotton fabric, the mass of plain dyed fabric (without pattern) and that of the printed fabric (with pattern) under the optimized conditions were 7.26% and 5.57% respectively, and the tensile strength was increased by 66.89 and 46.78 N, respectively.

In order to study the influence of clothing with different opening position and wind speeds on the volume, thickness and distribution of air layer under an air ventilation clothing, three-dimensional scanning method was adopted to obtain geometric models of human body and clothing. The model was then processed by reverse engineering software, Geomagic Control, to analyze the difference in thickness and volume of air layer and obtain the distribution regularities of air layer under different conditions. The results show that the influence of wind speed on the average air layer thickness is more obvious than that of the opening mode. The wind speeds of the fans have a significant effect on the overall and local air layer thickness. The higher is the wind speed, the thicker is the air layer in body part, and more evenly distributed is the air layer. From the two-dimensional comparison of the air layer in the chest and waist areas, it can be seen that the thickness of the air layer in the chest does not change significantly with the changes of the wind speed and the opening, while the air layer in the waist is affected significantly.

Targeting at multi-variety, small-batch and short cycle features in garment production, a garment intelligent production scheduling algorithm based on modularization is proposed to facilitate rapid production of multiple garments on a hybrid assembly line. On the basis of garment modules, the joint optimization model was established including ordering production tasks and assigning modular garment production process. The target tracking genetic algorithm was designed to set up the model, to achieve the optimization of the production sequence and the automatic arrangement of the garment manufacturing process on the assembly line. Taking two similar shirts for examples, the smoothness index and line efficiency of the designed modular garment hybrid assembly line reach 3.359 and 97.9% respectively. Compared with single-piece flow production of small batch, the modular production has significantly improved the balance of the assembly line, providing theoretical guidance for the promotion of garment intelligent manufacturing and lean production.

In order to analyze the influence mechanism of clothing color perceived value on brand loyalty, through literature review and theoretical basic research, a four-variable theoretical model of color perceived value, proactive improvement, brand identity, and brand loyalty was constructed. Then, relevant hypotheses were put forward. The empirical analysis of the 207 collected valid questionnaires was carried out by regression model. The results of the research show that the theoretical model of clothing color perceived value has good reliability and relevance, and three hypotheses have been verified. The higher the value of consumers' clothing color perception, the higher the brand identity and brand loyalty formed. The proactive improvement actions taken by clothing brands can positively affect the formation of consumer brand identity. Consumers who understand the fashion color trend have higher color perceived value and are more likely to form brand identity, which translates into brand loyalty.

The on-line detection process of polyester filaments hinders intelligent manufacturing in the whole production process. In order to solve the problem in inspecting polyester broken filament yarns and to improve the on-line quality detection system, a method of identifying broken filament yarns and counting the number by means of machine vision intelligent detection technology is proposed. Based on LabVIEW image processing technology,the yarn length is taken as the judgment basis. Image enhancement,binarization,digital morphology and other methods are used to obtain the filament image and to extract the length information. Through experiments, the detection threshold of filament length is obtained. When the filament length in the image exceeds the detection threshold,the existence of the filament will be recognized,and the number of such filaments can be accumulated. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the detection scheme is over 90%,the design is reasonable,the cost is low,and it has great practical value for improving polyester filament quality and reducing enterprise cost.

Based on Kansei engineering and quantification theory I (QTI), the proposed paper took the drawing frame as an example to carry out design and experimental research in order to meet users' perceptual needs for textile machinery modeling and improve modeling design efficiency and optimize recommendation. Representative samples and Kansei antonym words of the drawing frame were selected and determined, and the users' Kansei evaluation data were obtained through experiments. Based on QTI, the mapping models between Kansei image of the drawing frame and the modeling design elements were established. Taking the "cumbersome-simplicity" semantic dimension as an example, modeling design recommendation strategies were obtained. Through design practice and user evaluation, the accuracy and reliability of the correlation model were verified. The results show that the drawing frame correlation model based on Kansei engineering and QTI has prediction accuracy and reliability, and it can provide designers with more accurate and specific design strategy recommendations, improve design efficiency and users' satisfaction.

In order to keep the tension stable in yarn winding system, in view of the nonlinear and time-dependent parameters in the system, this paper proposed a sensorless tension control method based on tension monitoring and parameter self-adaptation. According to the principle of torque balance, a mathematical model of the yarn winding system was established, a reduced-order tension monitoring device was designed, and the data obtained were used as the system pre-feedback compensation value to avoid measurement delay caused by the tension sensor. The Landau discrete-time recursive algorithm was then used to identify the moment of inertia of the winding system, and the identified moment of inertia was used to modify the PI parameters of the speed controller, which was used to improve the dynamic performance of the winding system. Comparison between the general PI parameter control and proposed sensorless parameter adaptive control shows that the proposed control method significantly reduces the influence of the change in the moment of inertia on the tension, and has good robustness, dynamic response performance and high steady-state accuracy.
