Everyone concurs in recognising inkjet printing’s great potential in speeding up and per- sonalising printing in the development of samples as well as providing answers to pro- ductions that are increasingly determined by personal taste, as required by the market. But how much does this technology contribute to reducing the environmental impact of textile productions? The water and energy savings, the reduced wastage, the reduction of contaminants in the refuse make digital printing an important resource in developing a productive and economic system that is more attentive to the environment. The issue ‘Digital printing and sustainability’ means to analyse these aspects in depth, starting from an analysis of the economic and cultural setting in which this technology is integrated, from its connections with the fashion system and with the dynamics of a market in constant evolution. The technological aspects of the printing processes are therefore analysed in function of the effects of technology on the environment and the trends of future developments are thus delineated. The results of this study are encouraging but certainly not conclusive. The culture of sustainability, intended as the ability of satisfying needs without prejudging current and future environmental equilibrium and as a constant improvement of the environ- mental performances of human activities, requires continuous commitment and in- vestments in technical and scientific research. In is in this spirit that in 2014 we created the Textile Solution Center and started the re- search and dissemination activities promoted by the Center. We therefore hope that this new publication will contribute to stimulate further efforts towards innovation in the textile industry and to diffuse the value of its culture.

In this study, different half-finished preforms are made π-beams. Then the preforms are unfolded to make a 3D shape with integrated structure of fibers, providing easier handling in the further processing of composites. Several 3D textile preforms are made using weaving technique and are examined after resin infusion for mechanical properties such as inter-laminar shear strength, compressive strength and tensile strength. Considering that the time and labor are important parameters in modern production, 3D weaving technique reduces the manufacturing steps and therefore the costs, such as hand-lay up of textile layers, cutting, and converting into preform shape. Hence this 3D weaving technique offers many possibilities for new applications with efficient composite production. Key Words: 3D weaving, weave pattern, π-beam, T-joint 1.

The art tradition is however preponderant in a few Yoruba towns to the extent that the names of these towns are traditionally inseparable with the Adire art tradition. With Western education, introduction of foreign religions, influence from other cultures, technique and technology, there is a shift in the producers of Adire, the training pattern, and even an evolution in the production centre. While Western education resulted in a shift from the hitherto traditional Copyright© IAARR 2013: www.afrrevjo.net 350 Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info Vol. 7 (2) Serial No. 29, April, 2013 Pp.350-370 apprenticeship method to the study of the art in schools, unemployment gave birth to the introduction of training drives by government and non governmental parastatals.

ASINYO 3 1 Key Laboratory of Eco-Textiles, Jiangnan University, Ministry of Education, Wuxi, Jiangsu, China 1, 2, 3 Department of Industrial Art (Textiles), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, PMB - Kumasi, Ghana ABSTRACT Inkjet inks are the most important component in inkjet printing. The formulation and chemistry of inks determine the printing quality as well as jetting characteristics. Digital printing technology has transformed textiles printing with significant success in terms of print speed, print head technology and color gamut. Nonetheless, ink penetration and its related quality problems are still receiving a high level of attention by researchers around the globe to develop superior inks that can surpass the quality of prints obtained by the conventional methods of printing. This review seeks to take a perfunctory look at the various ink chemistries being developed to address the color related problems in digital textiles inkjet printing and the various pretreatment technologies available for ensuring excellent K/S and color fastness as well as jetting behavior of Newtonian inkjet inks in DOD drop formation. In addition, various issues relating to quality of digital inkjet printer fabrics and ink development have been highlighted. Significant strides have been made in the quest for environmentally friendly universal inks that can print all textiles substrate. KEYWORDS: Inkjet Ink, Dye, Pigment, Digital Printing, Textile INTRODUCTION Inkjet printing has become the new frontier in textile printing, offering advantages in process efficiency, ease of use, cost effectiveness and environmental impact (Pekarovicova 2016a, Magdassi 2010).

  • French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830
    French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830: An Analysis of Some Travel Journals. Elizabeth Anne McFarlane Submitted according to regulations of University of Stirling January 2015 Abstract. This study examines the value of travellers’ written records of their trips with specific reference to the journals of five French travellers who visited Scotland between 1780 and 1830. The thesis argues that they contain material which demonstrates the merit of journals as historical documents. The themes chosen for scrutiny, life in the rural areas, agriculture, industry, transport and towns, are examined and assessed across the journals and against the social, economic and literary scene in France and Scotland. Through the evidence presented in the journals, the thesis explores aspects of the tourist experience of the Enlightenment and post - Enlightenment periods. The viewpoint of knowledgeable French Anglophiles and their receptiveness to Scottish influences, grants a perspective of the position of France in the economic, social and power structure of Europe and the New World vis-à-vis Scotland. The thesis adopts a narrow, focussed analysis of the journals which is compared and contrasted to a broad brush approach adopted in other studies. ii Dedication. For Angus, Mhairi and Brent, who are all scientists. iii Acknowledgements. I would like to thank my husband, Angus, and my daughter, Mhairi, for all the support over the many years it has taken to complete this thesis. I would like to mention in particular the help Angus gave me in the layout of the maps and the table. I would like to express my appreciation for the patience and perseverance of my supervisors and second supervisors over the years.
