The influence of common textile finishes on cotton fabrics on the generation of microfibers
during laundering was assessed. Microfiber release was determined to be in the range of …

In this article, the vulnerability of the soft tissues of the heel to pressure ulcers (injuries) is
explained from a biomechanical engineering perspective, and emerging technologies for …

The original appearance and physical properties of smart clothing as well as the electrical
properties of the conductive fabric applied, despite utilization and the management …

Measuring friction coefficients between cloth and an external body is a longstanding issue in
mechanical engineering, never yet addressed with a pure vision-based system. The latter …

Purpose Friction is considered to be one property of cloth that has considerable importance
in the fields of both technological and subjective assessment for surface properties of textile …

Comfort is a qualitative feature and one of the requirements that modern garment buyers
place on their purchases. The purpose of this work is to study the effect of weft yarn type …

Meticulous selection of storage bags is vital to optimize grain preservation, mitigate losses,
and improve rural income. A comprehensive comparative evaluation of four different …

Tapestries represent a key but fragile component of many historic collections, as well as a
complex challenge for textile conservators who aim to ensure their preservation. Indeed, the …

Measuring contact friction in soft-bodies usually requires a specialised physics bench and a
tedious acquisition protocol. This makes the prospect of a purely non-invasive, video-based …

The surface characteristics of fabrics are important from the point of view of the sensorial
comfort of clothing users. Surface friction and surface roughness are the most important …
