  • The Fine Art of Layering (Provided By: Highcountryexplorations.Com)
    The Fine Art of Layering (Provided by: HighCountryExplorations.com) Staying comfortable outside is a matter of dressing to outwit Mother Nature. It's a balancing act between the climate, your activity level, exposure time and tolerance to heat and cold. Choosing the right clothing and layering it properly can make the difference between a pleasant outdoor experience and an uncomfortable (or even dangerous) situation. —REI.com Expert Advice, “How to Layer Outerwear” Why do I need all this fancy stuff just to go running, blading or biking? Fair question. Like the introduction of Gore-Tex years ago, all this fabric and fiber mumbo jumbo has its skeptics, but they are fast falling by the wayside. You don't have to opt for this aerobic function/fashion statement, but why on earth would you not want to? It works and it works leagues better than anything that has come before. With an appropriate layering system of advanced materials, weather is no longer a discomfort or nuisance—it’s just a pleasurable change of pace. —Michael Hodgson, from unknown website Central Issues Addressed in This Article Is there an ideal layering system for most wilderness travelers and, if so, what is it? Is the traditional three-layer system or some other layering system most effective for my needs? Can the principles of layering be applied to the extremities and to sleeping systems? Am I interested in developing layering into a “fine art” or science? Introduction The concept of “layering” is one of the foundational principles of safe and comfortable backcountry travel, especially when traveling in cold, wet and mountainous climates.

  • ABSTRACT ROSS, KELLY ANN. Energy Flow
    ABSTRACT ROSS, KELLY ANN. Energy Flow in Multilayer Clothing Systems. (Under the direction of Trevor J. Little). Clothing has a large part to play in the maintaining the body’s heat balance especially during exercise. This research investigated how to build a layered clothing system that would optimize moisture management and performance during athletic end use. During physical activity muscles burn nutrients which releases energy in the form of heat. The human should maintain a constant core temperature of about 37 degrees Celsius, from which only a small change (+/-) ~4°C can lead to serious injury or death. There are four mechanisms that allow the body to lose heat to the environment in order to maintain its thermal balance: conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. This research utilizes a test method where multiple fabric layers are tested simultaneously as a person would wear multiple garment layers together. Typical existing testing procedures for the measure of heat and moisture transport in textile materials are successful in measuring one layer of fabric at a time. However, people typically wear more than one layer of clothing especially on their upper torso which could include a foundation garment such as a sports bra, undershirt or t-shirt, and an additional layer consisting of a shirt or jacket. As part of this research, a fabric testing kit was designed in order to test three different fabric layers at the same time while mounted on a human subject during exercise. This fabric testing kit measured coupled heat and moisture transfer in relation to temperature and humidity across the microclimates, the interaction between clothing to skin, and the layer to layer interactions of a clothing system.

  • Textile Recognition and Sorting for Recycling at an Automated Line Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
    recycling Article Textile Recognition and Sorting for Recycling at an Automated Line Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy Kirsti Cura 1,*, Niko Rintala 1, Taina Kamppuri 2, Eetta Saarimäki 2 and Pirjo Heikkilä 2 1 Department of Technology, LAB University of Applied Sciences, Mukkulankatu 19, 15210 Lahti, Finland; niko.p.rintala@lab.fi 2 VTT Technology Research Centre of Finland, P.O. Box 1000, FI-02044 VTT Espoo, Finland; taina.kamppuri@vtt.fi (T.K.); eetta.saarimaki@vtt.fi (E.S.); pirjo.heikkila@vtt.fi (P.H.) * Correspondence: kirsti.cura@lab.fi Abstract: In order to add value to recycled textile material and to guarantee that the input material for recycling processes is of adequate quality, it is essential to be able to accurately recognise and sort items according to their material content. Therefore, there is a need for an economically viable and effective way to recognise and sort textile materials. Automated recognition and sorting lines provide a method for ensuring better quality of the fractions being recycled and thus enhance the availability of such fractions for recycling. The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding of NIR spectroscopy technology in the recognition of textile materials by studying the effects of structural fabric properties on the recognition. The identified properties of fabrics that led non-matching recognition were coating and finishing that lead different recognition of the material depending on the side facing the NIR analyser. In addition, very thin fabrics allowed NIRS to penetrate through the fabric and resulted in the non-matching recognition. Additionally, ageing was found to cause such chemical changes, especially in the spectra of cotton, that hampered the recognition.

  • Fashion Design
    Fashion is a general term for a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body piercing, or furniture. Fashion refers to a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style with which a person dresses, as well as to prevailing styles in behaviour. Fashion also refers to the newest creations of textile designers.[1] The more technical term, costume, has become so linked to the term "fashion" that the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while "fashion" means clothing more generally and the study of it. Although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine, some trends are androgynous.[2][3] Fashion design Fashion design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social latitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories; and, because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, must at times anticipate changing consumer tastes. Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They must consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions, such asevening wear or party dresses.

  • Radiant Heat Protective Performance of Clothing Assemblies with Flexible Aerogel-Nomex Nonwoven Composite As Thermal Insulation
    Indian Journal of Fibre & Textile Research Vol. 44, December 2019, pp. 396-403 Radiant heat protective performance of clothing assemblies with flexible aerogel-Nomex nonwoven composite as thermal insulation Supriyo Chakraborty1,a, A Venkateswara Rao2, V K Kothari1 & A A Pisal2 1Department of Textile Technology, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi 110 016, India 2Air Glass Laboratory, Department of Physics, Shivaji University, Kolhapur 416 004, India Received 21 April 2018; revised received and accepted 8 August 2018 In order to achieve a superior level of heat protection, aerogel-Nomex nonwoven composite felts have been prepared and used as middle layer in 3-layered fabric. To study the effect of precursor concentration on the radiant heat protection, methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) precursor to methanol molar ratios are varied for making the flexible aerogel-Nomex nonwoven felt. The heat protective performance of three-layered clothing assemblies, with aerogel-Nomex nonwoven felt as the thermal insulating middle layer [outer layer Nomex IIIA woven and inner layer modacrylic-cotton (60:40) woven fabric] has been determined by exposing the clothing combinations to pure radiant heat fluxes by using Stoll’s criterion. The use of aerogel-Nomex nonwoven fabric shows more than 100% increase in the heat protection time as compared to the conventional multilayered heat protective clothing assembly. The aerogel-Nomex nonwoven fabric samples produced using MTMS precursor are found to be soft and flexible as compared to the conventionally produced pure silica aerogels, by using tetra-alkoxysilanes, which are normally fragile in nature.
