With the development of the Internet, consumers began to pursue personalised services and products. However, little systematic research on consumers’ online garment customisation behavior has been conducted. Garment customization enterprises rely on consumer behaviour which is difficult to accurately judge. In order to better understand online consumers’ purchase intention of garment customization, this paper studies consumers’ perceived value. Through literature reading, group discussion and other methods, this paper constructed a theoretical model of eight measurement dimensions, and conducted factor analysis on the 321 questionnaires collected. Five key dimensions were obtained: the website comprehensive function, personalised service, product quality, emotional demand and social value. To test the comprehensive attitude of consumers to the results of this model, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was carried out. The results show that consumers have a high degree of recognition of the research results and acceptance of the research model, among which the recognition of product quality and website comprehensive function are the highest.

Zhuanghua is a representative variety of Nanjing Yun brocade, symbolising the highest achievement of ancient Chinese textile technology. It has been widely used as a clothing fabric since its appearance. This paper firstly explored the characteristics of weaving materials, fabric weaves, and fabric weaving of Zhuanghua based on a literature review, manufactory visiting, and a market survey. To preserve the textile application, the permeability, shape preservation property, and appearance preservation property of fabric were tested for wearability. Specifically, six pieces of Zhuanghua satin were selected as the primary samples, along with six pieces of customised plain satin as the matching samples. Influenced by the <italic>Zhuangzhi</italic> technique, the Zhuanghua satin presented the following features. The thickness and air permeability of the Zhuanghua satin varied between patterned and non-patterned parts. The Zhuanghua satin in the weft direction showed higher tensile strength, stronger stiffness, and weak crease recovery ability. The average weft elongation at break of Zhuanghua satin increased by 25% and the weft flexural rigidity by 3–8 times, while the average weft crease recovery angle decreased by nearly 30°. The performance of anti-fuzzing and anti-pilling was improved, and the grades increased by 1 and 2, respectively. The study is conducive to a more scientific understanding and development of Yun brocade.

In current society, smart clothing technology has become a critical way to improve the life quality of the elderly. This work conducted a category product evaluation and user demand system through the bibliometrics method, product evaluation analysis, focus group interviews and questionnaires. Based on the system, we designed smart clothing from the aspects of the clothing structure, hardware, software program and intelligent terminal platform to meet the needs of disabled elderly people and their caregivers in multiple scenarios. According to the test results of the smart clothing, the average error of temperature and humidity monitoring is 0.20°C and 2.88%RH. The time of putting on-taking off clothing in 6 representative daily scenarios was reduced by 51.67%. The daily body checking times, uncomfortable behaviours, and the anxiety of caregivers was decreased by 42.31%, 28.52% and 74.37%. Compared with ordinary clothing, six of the eight comfort performances are basically the same, and two are slightly worse.

In the work presented, effective methods of biomass processing for its reuse in the framework of the circular economy were determined. Based on various sources, a definition of biomass was obtained. The review covers preliminary operations, i.e., screening and grinding, as well as the methods of pressure and non-pressure agglomeration of plant and animal biomass, as well as the process of torrefaction of plant biomass. The analysis of the literature indicates various process and technological solutions for biomass processing, as well as provides numerous examples of the use of biomass in combination with other types of industrial waste and mineral additives. The activities undertaken as part of the work are consistent with the assumptions of the European Green Deal and are carried out in order to improve the management of waste streams (green productivity) and to increase the amount of recovered energy produced.

Origami has various manifestations and rich production techniques, and it is regarded as one of the indispensable contemporary art forms. In order to enrich the creative expressions of fashion design, this paper summarises the creative application forms of origami art in fashion design from the external and moulding characteristics of origami, studies the fabric characteristics through experimental verification, and summarises the applicable techniques of expression. The results show that the folding application forms of origami art and clothing modelling can be realised by using the expression methods of ironing and crimping, stitching texture moulding and repeated combination moulding, that is, pattern deformation folding application, fabric transformation folding application and modular combination folding application. The application of the folding form in clothing three-dimensional modelling and surface texture can give full play to the unique modelling beauty and artistic style of origami art and provide a reference for creative ideas in clothing design.

This study aims to obtain an accurate prediction model of mechanical properties of woven fabric to achieve customer satisfaction. Samples of plain woven fabric were produced from different yarn counts and blend ratios of cotton and polyester of weft yarn at different weft densities. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, bending stiffness and elongation% in both the warp and weft directions were tested. The prediction model was based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). For each model, thirty-nine samples were used for training and fifteen for testing prediction performance. Findings indicated that the ANN achieved a perfect performance in predicting all properties.
