I had been interested in yarn spinning technology since I worked in Department of Yarn formation at China Textile Institute in 1988, particularly, in Staple/Filament Composite Yarn Spinning, to improve the yarn strength, handle, and esthetic properties. I had involved in research and development project on automation in Blow room, Carding, and Yarn spinning frame. After I was promoted to be a deputy manager in Department of Textile Testing in 1995, I had been working on the evaluation of functional fiber and their application in textile products, which included anti-bacterial fiber, UV-cut fiber, spandex fiber, breathable fabric, etc. After four years of learning in Textile Testing Department, I was appointed as Manager of Apparel and Clothing Accessories in September 1999. I spent most of time setting up the apparel automation section, and exploring the possible research areas for three-body scanning technology. E-business has been the hot issue in apparel production field and our team has successfully implemented an on-line monitoring system in Eclat Textiles Co. Ltd. Most recently, I have been interested in clothing comfort. I try to measure the fabric properties with Skin-Model, based on ISO 11092, to predict their clothing comfort properties at various activities simulating the actual wear.
