The goal was to derive over-arching concepts that cannot be seen by the individual studies alone. Equations of best fits suggest non-linear changes for fabric thickness, thermal and water-vapor resistance with changes in material blend ratio. Air permeability decreases with increasing fabric density and fabric weight wherein the degree of decrease differs among fabric materials, blend ratio, and fabric structure. Water-vapor transmission rates strongly depend on fabric thickness, material, and blend, but marginally depend on fabric structure as long as the fabric and material thickness remain the same.展开更多

Several secondary shear zones with NW-SE strikes have developed in this tectonic belt, and the deformation processes are of great significance to understanding the tectonic regime of the Altai Orogen in the Late Paleozoic. The Tuerhongshate ductile shear zone is located in the eastern Irtysh tectonic belt with obvious deformed structures. The felsic rocks are strongly mylonitized, exhibiting S-C fabrics, asymmetric rotational porphyroclasts, and bookshelf structures of the plagioclases, indicating a sinistral shear sense. The deformation mechanisms, lattice preferred orientations (LPOs) of quartz, and opening angles of quartz c-axis suggest that the deformation temperatures range from 400 to 500 ℃, consistent with higher-greenschist to lower-amphibolite facies conditions. The calculated kinematic vorticity values (W_(k)) of the studied samples range from 0.53 to 0.89 and indicate general shear to simple shear, based on rotational rigid porphyroclast method and oblique grain-shaped/quartz c-axis fabric method. The U-Pb ages of magmatic zircons in felsic mylonites indicate that the sinistral shear occurred after 296.7 ± 3.0 Ma (Early Permian) in the Tuerhongshate shear zone and persisted for approximately 13 Ma. Combined with the tectonic setting and the observed sinistral strike-slip shear indicators in the mylonite zone, these features demonstrate that the Irtysh tectonic belt was in a post-orogenic and strike-slip environment following the closure of the Irtysh Ocean.展开更多

This study explores the development of biocomposites and nanocomposite materials for UV protection and microbial resistance in clothing. Nanoscale UV-blocking agents enhance the protection of textiles against harmful ultraviolet radiation. Recent studies on composites such as ZnO/carboxymethyl chitosan, polyacrylonitrile with UV absorbers and TiO2 nanoparticles, and lignin-TiO composites have shown significant improvements in UV protection and some antibacterial activity. Techniques such as electrospinning, hydrothermal synthesis, and natural fibre welding were used to create these composites, focusing on ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles for dual functionality. Research on nanoscale UV-blocking agents could revolutionise sun protection in clothing and offer better safety against ultraviolet radiation. Multifunctional composites with UV-blocking and antibacterial properties could advance the use of protective clothing in various industries and outdoor activities. Emphasising natural fibres and sustainable materials aligns with the global trend towards eco-friendly solutions, leading to more environmentally friendly products. This literature review aims to comprehensively review and analyze current research on UV protective knit fabrics using nanotechnology, nanocomposites, and biocomposites.

The microstructures of A1203 fibers with and without PyC coatings were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The influence of deposition time of PyC on the DC conductivity （ad） of A1203 filaments and complex permittivity of fabrics at X band （8.2-12.4 GHz） were investigated. The values of Crd and complex permittivity increase with increasing deposition time of PyC. The electron relaxation polarization and conductance loss were supposed to be contributed to the increase of ε＇ and ε＂, respectively. In addition, the reflection loss （RL） of fabrics was calculated. The results show that the microwave absorbing properties of Al2O3 fiber fabrics can be improved by PyC coatings. The best RL results are for 60 min-deposition sample, of which the minimum value is about -40.4 dB at about 9.5 GHz and the absorbing frequency band （AFB） is about 4 GHz.展开更多

The influences of the number of Kevlar layers and pre-tension were discussed particularly. Test results were used to analyze failure modes and energy absorption characteristics of multi-ply Kevlar fabrics. Results show that there are two kinds of impact damage for fabrics： global deformation mainly involving stretching of yarns in the impact region and fabric wrinkle from both sides to the impact zone, and local damage characterized by yarn fracture, yarn pull-out, and yarn unraveling. The energy absorption capability of Kevlar 49 woven fabrics improves with the number of fabric layers. The energy absorbed by multi-layer fabrics increases slightly at the beginning and then decreases substantially with pre-tension. The work in this paper can provide guidance for designing light-weight multi-layer fabrics containment systems.展开更多

文摘Inspired by the thermal stability mechanism of thermophilic protein,which presents ionic bonds that have better stability at higher temperatures,this paper proposes the introduction of electrostatic interactions by adding carboxyl-modified silica(C-SiO2),PAA,and CaCl_(2) to achieve higher viscosity over 25℃.The rheological behavior of C-SiO_(2)-based shear thickening fluid(CS-STF)was investigated at a temperature range of 25–55℃.Unlike SiO_(2)-based STF,which exhibits single-step thickening and a negative correlation between viscosity and temperature.As the C-SiO_(2) content was 41%(w/w)and the mass ratio of PAA:CaCl_(2):C-SiO_(2) was 3:1:10,the CS-STF displayed a double-thickening behavior,and the peak viscosity reached 1330 Pa·s at 35℃.From the yarn pull-out test,the inter-yarn force was significantly increased with the increasing CS-STF content.Treating UHMWPE fabrics with CS-STF improved the impact resistance effectively.In the blunt impact test,the U-CS fabrics with high CS-STF content(121.45 wt%)experienced penetration failure under high impact energy(18 J)due to stress concentration caused by the shear thickening behavior.The knife stabbing test demonstrated that U-CS fabrics with appropriate content(88.38 wt%)have the best stabbing resistance in various impact energies.Overall,this study proposed a high-performence STF showing double-thickening and enhancing shear-thickening behavior at a wide temperature range,the composite fabrics with the performance of resisting both the blunt and stab impact had broad application prospects in the field of personal protection.

文摘The Janus fabrics designed for personal moisture/thermal regulation have garnered significant attention for their potential to enhance human comfort.However,the development of smart and dynamic fabrics capable of managing personal moisture/thermal comfort in response to changing external environments remains a challenge.Herein,a smart cellulose-based Janus fabric was designed to dynamically manage personal moisture/heat.The cotton fabric was grafted with N-isopropylacrylamide to construct a temperature-stimulated transport channel.Subsequently,hydrophobic ethyl cellulose and hydrophilic cellulose nanofiber were sprayed on the bottom and top sides of the fabric to obtain wettability gradient.The fabric exhibits anti-gravity directional liquid transportation from hydrophobic side to hydrophilic side,and can dynamically and continuously control the transportation time in a wide range of 3–66 s as the temperature increases from 10 to 40℃.This smart fabric can quickly dissipate heat at high temperatures,while at low temperatures,it can slow down the heat dissipation rate and prevent the human from becoming too cold.In addition,the fabric has UV shielding and photodynamic antibacterial properties through depositing graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets on the hydrophilic side.This smart fabric offers an innovative approach to maximizing personal comfort in environments with significant temperature variations.

文摘Functional superhydrophobic coatings have attracted considerable attention because of their potential for a wide range of applications.In this study,a novel cyclotetrasiloxane-based hybrid superhydrophobic modifier(F-D_(4))was prepared for the first time using a mild thiolene click reaction of 2,4,6,8-tetravinyl-2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane(Vi-D_(4))with perfluorohexylethanethiol(PFOT)and mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane(MPTMS)as the raw materials.Then,F-D_(4) was introduced into the fabric via a sol-gel process,resulting in a superhydrophobic fabric(F-D_(4)-Fabric).The surface characteristics of the modified fabric were determined using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and water contact angle(WCA).The coated fabrics have outstanding mechanical,physical,and chemical stability,and exhibit excellent self-cleaning and anti-fouling properties.Owing to its superhydrophobicity,FD_(4)-Fabric could efficiently separate a range of oil/water mixtures with a separation efficiency of up to 99.99%.The study showed that the modification strategy used in the dip-coating process greatly affected the superhydrophobicity of the cotton fabric,which is useful for oil/water separation and self-cleaning applications.

文摘Thermotherapy,renowned for its non-invasive alleviation of musculoskeletal pain,faces constraints due to the scarcity of flexible and lightweight wearable heating solutions.In this study,we introduce an innovative flexible wearable film designed for effective thermotherapy.The film is engineered by in-situ immobilization of copper sulfide(CuS)nanoparticles onto a bicomponent PET@PE nonwoven fabric,subsequently enhanced through a straightforward hot-pressing process.This method results in an all-in-one integrated PET@PE/CuS film that possesses intrinsic self-enhancement and remarkable photothermal conversion capabilities.Upon exposure to near-infrared(NIR)laser,infrared(IR)therapeutic light,or simulated sunlight,the film maintains stable and precisely regulated temperatures,catering to the optimal thermotherapy temperature range.Its high mechanical robustness and chemical stability,as evidenced by rigorous mechanical and chemical testing,ensure the film’s suitability and long-term serviceability in wearable thermotherapy applications.Our study provides an affordable and sustainable strategy for the development of comfortable wearable thermotherapy devices,offering a promising avenue for pain management and rehabilitation.

文摘The pyrolytic carbon （PyC） coatings were fabricated on A1203 fiber fabrics by the method of chemical vapor deposition （CVD）. The microstructures of A1203 fibers with and without PyC coatings were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The influence of deposition time of PyC on the DC conductivity （ad） of A1203 filaments and complex permittivity of fabrics at X band （8.2-12.4 GHz） were investigated. The values of Crd and complex permittivity increase with increasing deposition time of PyC. The electron relaxation polarization and conductance loss were supposed to be contributed to the increase of ε＇ and ε＂, respectively. In addition, the reflection loss （RL） of fabrics was calculated. The results show that the microwave absorbing properties of Al2O3 fiber fabrics can be improved by PyC coatings. The best RL results are for 60 min-deposition sample, of which the minimum value is about -40.4 dB at about 9.5 GHz and the absorbing frequency band （AFB） is about 4 GHz.

文摘Hetero-structured thermally conductive spherical boron nitride and boron nitride nanosheets(BNN-30@BNNS)fillers were prepared via electro static self-assembly method.And the corresponding thermally conductive&electrically insulating BNN-30@BNNS/Si-GFs/E-44 laminated composites were then fabricated via hot compression.BNN-30@BNNS-Ⅲ(fBNN-30/fBNNS,1/2,wt/wt)fillers presented the optimal synergistic improvement effects on the thermal conductivities of epoxy composites.When the mass fraction of BNN-30@BNNS-Ⅲwas 15 wt%,λvalue of the BNN-30@BNNS-Ⅲ/E-44 composites was up to0.61 W m^(-1)K^(-1),increased by 2.8 times compared with pure E-44(λ=0.22 W m^(-1)K^(-1)),also higher than that of the 15 wt%BNN-30/E-44(0.56 W m^(-1)K^(-1)),15 wt%BNNS/E-44(0.42 W m^(-1)K^(-1)),and 15 wt%(BNN-30/BNNS)/E-44(direct blending BNN-30/BNNS hybrid fillers,1/2,wt/wt,0.49 W m^(-1)K^(-1))composites.Theλin-plane(λ//)andλcross-plane(λ_(⊥))of 15 wt%BNN-30@BNNS-Ⅲ/Si-GFs/E-44 laminated composites significantly reached 2.75 W m^(-1)K^(-1)and 1.32 W m^(-1)K^(-1),186.5%and 187.0%higher than those of Si-GFs/E-44 laminated composites(λ//=0.96 W m^(-1)K^(-1)andλ_(⊥)=0.46 W m^(-1)K^(-1)).Established models can well simulate heat transfer efficiency in the BNN-30@BNNS-Ⅲ/Si-GFs/E-44 laminated composites.Under the condition of point heat source,the introduction of BNN-30@BNNS-Ⅲfillers were conducive to accelerating heat flow trans fe r.BNN-30@BNNS-Ⅲ/Si-GFs/E-44 laminated composites also demonstrated outstanding electrical insulating properties(cross-plane withstanding voltage,breakdown strength,surface&volume resistivity of 51.3 kV,23.8 kV mm^(-1),3.7×10^(14)Ω&3.4×10^(14)Ω·cm,favorable mechanical properties(flexural strength of 401.0 MPa and ILSS of 22.3 MPa),excellent dielectric properties(εof 4.92 and tanδof 0.008)and terrific thermal properties(T_(g)of 167.3℃and T_(HRI)of 199.2℃).

文摘The Ailaoshan-Red River（ASRR） shear zone is one of the major Southeast Asian tectonic discontinuities that have figured the present tectonic framework of the eastern Tibet.Several metamorphic massifs are distributed linearly along the shear zone,e.g.Xuelongshan,Diancangshan, Ailaoshan and Day Nui Con Voi from north to south.They bear a lot of lines of evidence for the tectonic evolution of the eastern Tibetan at different crustal levels in different tectonic stages.Controversy still exists on the deformation structures,microstructures and their relationship with metamorphisms along the ASRR.In this paper detailed microstructural and EBSD（Electron Backscattered Diffraction） fabric analysis of some highly sheared granitic rocks from different massifs along the ASRR are conducted.High temperature structures and microstructures are preserved in unsheared gneisses,in weakly sheared xenoliths or in some parts of the highly sheared rocks（mylonites）.Several types of high temperature quartz c-axis fabrics show symmetrical patterns or transitions from symmetrical to asymmetrical patterns.The former are attributed to coaxial deformation during regional shortening in an early stage of the Indian-Eurasian tectonic interaction and the latter are related to the transitions from coaxial compression to noncoaxial shearing during the post-collisional ASRR left lateral shearing.

文摘In this paper, ballistic impact tests on wrapped multi-layer Kevlar 49 woven fabric systems were carried out with a flat blade projectile to investigate the impact response during a fan blade out event. The influences of the number of Kevlar layers and pre-tension were discussed particularly. Test results were used to analyze failure modes and energy absorption characteristics of multi-ply Kevlar fabrics. Results show that there are two kinds of impact damage for fabrics： global deformation mainly involving stretching of yarns in the impact region and fabric wrinkle from both sides to the impact zone, and local damage characterized by yarn fracture, yarn pull-out, and yarn unraveling. The energy absorption capability of Kevlar 49 woven fabrics improves with the number of fabric layers. The energy absorbed by multi-layer fabrics increases slightly at the beginning and then decreases substantially with pre-tension. The work in this paper can provide guidance for designing light-weight multi-layer fabrics containment systems.

文摘Developing flexible sensors with high working performance holds intense interest for diverse applications in leveraging the Internet-of-things(IoT)infrastructures.For flexible piezoresistive sensors,traditionally most efforts are focused on tailoring the sensing materials to enhance the contact resistance variation for improving the sensitivity and working range,and it,however,remains challenging to simultaneously achieve flexible sensor with a linear working range over a high-pressure region(>100 kPa)and keep a reliable sensitivity.Herein,we devised a laserengraved silver-coated fabric as"soft"sensor electrode material to markedly advance the flexible sensor's linear working range to a level of 800 kPa with a high sensitivity of 6.4 kPa^-1 yet a fast response time of only 4 ms as well as long-time durability,which was rarely reported before.The integrated sensor successfully routed the wireless signal of pulse rate to the portable smartphone,further demonstrating its potential as a reliable electronic.Along with the rationally building the electrode instead of merely focusing on sensing materials capable of significantly improving the sensor's performance,we expect that this design concept and sensor system could potentially pave the way for developing more advanced wearable electronics in the future.

文摘Due to Visible light and Near-Infrared(Vis–NIR)stealth play an important role in the commercial,military,and scientific fields,camouflage materials related to it attracted increasing attention in decades.Green plant leaves,as the most extensive background materials on the earth,were widely simulated in the camouflage materials.However,difficult full-spectrum simulation(380–2500 nm),low-similarity simulation and the complex preparation have been great challenges for Vis–NIR Camouflage Materials(Vis–NIR-CMs).Herein,basing on the color-matching principle,two novel Vis–NIR-CMs including Dark Green Materials and Light Green Materials(DGM and LGM)were facilely fabricated by simple printing organic disperse dyes including C.I.Disperse Blue 291,C.I.Disperse Yellow 114,and C.I.Disperse Orange 30(B-291,Y-114 and O-30),and titanium dioxide(TiO_(2))on the viscose fabrics.Based on the excellent red edge property of B-291 and high scattering ability of TiO2,DGM and LGM exhibited generally high spectral correlation coefficients r_(m)(>0.95)with green plant leaves.Moreover,with the great color performance,excellent objects covering performance,low areal density(<146.3 g cm^(−2)),high tensile strength(>7.7 MPa),high softness(>81.27),high air permeability(>45.848 mm s^(−1)),DGM and LGM showed good simulation performance and wearing comfort to satisfy the application needs.This work presents a high-similarity Vis–NIR-CMs as a reference for full-spectrum camouflage materials,as well as low-cost and efficient preparation method is beneficial to the development of camouflage field.

文摘The film morphology of dodecyl/carboxyl modified polysiloxane(RCAS) on cotton fabric or the silicon wafer was investigated and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM),atomic force microscope(AFM),and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR).Experimental results indicate that RCAS is a good film forming material on different substrates.Relatively smooth film was formed on cotton fabric surface,on which the grooves disappeared.In addition,RCAS formed a micromorphology inhomogeneous and unsmooth film on the silicon wafer.Many high or low bright peaks distributed randomly on the film surface,especially as the field was 2μm×2 μm and the date scale was 5 nm in AFM observation.Then RCAS was emulsified with nonionic surfactant alkyl polyoxyethylene ether in order to achieve a transparent organosilicon emulsion-RCAS emulsion(RCSE),which possessed good stability.The properties of RCSE and its application performance on cotton fabrics were investigated and characterized by transmission electron microscope(TEM),particle size analysis,and voltage test instrument.The results show that the average particle size of RCAS emulsion is 28.32 nm,while the ζ voltage is-37.88 mV.Compared with untreatd cotton fabric,the softness of treated fabric can be improved with RCSE to a certain extent.At the same time,the fabric treated with RCSE acquires unique fluffy and soft handle.
