Summary: The study focused on the development of conductive textiles with high electromagnetic shielding performance. Through testing and analysis, it was found that Cu/Pc-80 conductive woven fabrics exhibit the best electrical conductivity and EMSE, with different metal wires providing varying levels of surface resistance. The air permeability of conductive fabrics is correlated with thickness and the number of lamination layers, and adjusting lamination angles can enhance the completeness of the conductive network and EMSE.

Summary: In this study, yarn samples with different ratios of Tencel, cotton, polyester, and recycled polyester fibers were prepared through ring spinning. These yarns were then converted into knitted fabrics, and their mechanical and comfort properties were investigated. It was found that Tencel/cotton and virgin polyester/recycled polyester with blended ratios of 40/20 and 20/20, respectively, exhibited superior mechanical and comfort properties compared to other blends and a conventional cotton/polyester blend. Additionally, these blends offer the potential to reduce the consumption of unsustainable virgin polyester and cotton fibers by 60%.

Summary: The study aims to eliminate pilling in fleece fabrics made of three-thread polyester cotton blends by using singeing with heat setting to increase pilling resistance. The experimental results showed an improvement in pilling resistance properties from grade 1 to grade 4. This method can effectively solve the pilling problem in polyester cotton blended fleece fabrics in the textile knitting industry.

Summary: This study examined the impact of different treatments on the low-stress mechanical properties of MDP/C-65/35 fabrics. The use of sericin and glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent resulted in higher bending rigidity. However, it was found that the tensile resilience of blend fabrics deteriorated following sericin treatment. Additionally, sericin treatment led to increased shear rigidity and hysteresis. The compression properties of the fabric also suffered deterioration, particularly in harder samples. Surface properties such as friction coefficient and surface contour deviation were generally higher in some cases compared to the control and sericin-treated fabrics.

Summary: The study aims to objectively evaluate the properties of polyester woven fabric after several cycles of tumble-drying by examining drying practices. The evaluation includes SEM analysis, smoothness appearance, dimensional stability, and strain tests to assess abrasion damage to the fabric. The results showed various damages on the polyester fiber surface after multiple drying cycles, but overall, drying had little effect on the fabric's physical and mechanical properties. The moisture loss patterns during drying provide insights into minimizing dryer abrasion damage by reducing unnecessary drying time.

Summary: The present study was conducted on blended fabrics made from Calotropis/cotton-blended yarns with different ratios. The results showed that Calotropis blends had higher shrinkage and lower crease recovery angle compared to cotton blends. Moreover, the 25:75 blend exhibited higher GSM weight, air permeability, and tensile strength.

Summary: Currently, in Malaysia, the disposal of wastes into poorly managed systems without pollution protection measures is a major issue. Hospitals and health care centers generate large amounts of waste, such as textiles. However, the improper management of these wastes poses risks of environmental pollution and fire hazard. This study aims to explore the potential of subcritical water hydrolysis and fermentation for the complete conversion of cotton textile waste to ethanol.

Summary: An intumescent coating called DAM was constructed by modifying 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane with amino phosphonates and melamine through neutralization reaction, and then deposited on the fabric surface as a homogeneous coating using the sol-gel technique. DAM exhibited good flame retardancy in both horizontal and vertical flame tests.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of warp and weft densities and blend ratio on the liquid transport behavior of cotton and polyester/cotton blended fabric. The results showed that the blended fabric had better overall moisture management capability and higher accumulative one-way transport index than the 100% cotton fabric. Moreover, an increase in polyester content in the fabric improved the moisture transport, while fewer warp and weft yarns enhanced the overall moisture management capability.
