This study investigates the application of textile electrodes using PANI (Polyaniline) conductive material for motion sensing, specifically aimed at motion monitoring for the elderly. By depositing a PANI conductive layer on the base of warp-knitted fabric through in-situ polymerization and plasma treatment, a PCCWKF (Polyaniline Coated Conductive Warp-Knitted Fabric) with enhanced electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility was developed. The research optimized the electrical resistivity and durability of PCCWKF by incorporating Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) as a toughening agent, improving the adhesion of the PANI conductive layer to the textile substrate. The sensor’s efficacy in accurately recording and monitoring motion amplitude and frequency in real-time was demonstrated through its application in smart clothing, focusing on respiratory, elbow, and knee motion monitoring. This study holds significant implications for the advancement of wearable technology and smart textiles in the health monitoring of the elderly.

This research aims to undertake a comprehensive analysis of Li ethnic clothing rooted in five major dialects and investigates its relevance in modern fashion design. With the progression of contemporary society, traditional Li ethnic attire has progressively lost societal attention, resulting in fewer individuals proactively engaging with it. However, can infusing the distinctive features of Li ethnic clothing from these five major dialects into contemporary fashion design rekindle an allure for this heritage? Through diverse channels and approaches, this study endeavors to address this inquiry and illuminate often-overlooked facets. By judiciously melding traditional Li ethnic clothing with contemporary fashion design, we can attain objectives that are more rational, meaningful, and valuable.

Textile signal lines are some of the more significant parts of an electronic system incorporated in modern smart garments. These applications often need to make lines that are disconnectable. The article presents the construction of two textile connectors that can connect direct current textile electro-conductive lines. These connectors are mostly made of textile materials and are an alternative to conventional connectors or connectors using snap fasteners. The article presents basic research on the electrical properties of the connectors proposed. The present research examined the influence of the size and shape of the connector contacts on their resistance, measured after each disconnection and reconnection of both parts of the connectors. The article also presents research on the dependence of the electrical resistance of the connectors on the pressure force of their textile contacts. The test results presented, and their statistical analysis confirmed the suitability of the connectors presented for applications in e-textiles.

Folk textile is important part of tangible heritage in Lithuania and Western Ukraine. Comparable analysis of folk bedspreads is relevant for visual representation of the national identity of both countries. The aim of the paper is to analyse and compare structural parameters and colour combinations of folk bedspreads from Western Ukraine and Lithuania, seeking to find and highlight their universal and unique parameters. The materials, techniques, patterns and colouring of Western Ukrainian and Lithuanian bedspreads were compared. In some cases, very similar principles of decoration were discovered, but some Lithuanian and Ukrainian bedspreads were completely different.

Combined with Laplace transform and creep stress conditions, an accurate expression of the viscoelastic Poisson's ratio calculated from the transverse strain and relax modulus is derived. From creep and relax tests data, Prony series of the transverse strain and relax modulus of nonwovens with time were obtained, and the time-varying curve of the viscoelastic Poisson's ratio of nonwovens was simulated by 1stOpt software. The method proposed can effectively obtain the viscoelastic Poisson's ratio of nonwovens and provide a reference value for calculating mechanical indexes involved in its subsequent production and processing.

In this study, denim fabrics were produced using weft yarns obtained from mechanically recycled fibers after consumer use, and the breaking strength, tearing strength, thermal resistance, water vapor permeability, air permeability, and fabric stiffness of these fabrics were determined according to the standards. A life cycle analysis of the recycled denim fabrics was made using the SimaPro software program, and the environmental effects of the production were also revealed. Within the scope of the study, it was observed that the structural properties of the fabrics produced and the composition of recycled cotton used affect the performance and comfort properties of the fabric. The effect of the cotton recycling rate on the recycled denim fabrics was evaluated by LCA (life cycle analysis). As a result of the LCA evaluation, with the use of cotton with a high percentage of recycling additives instead of the conventional cotton, as in the reference fabric, resource depletion (fossil fuels), global warming, depletion of the ozone layer, the toxic effect on human, freshwater and terrestrial life, the total water use, and other categories were observed to undergo a significant improvement.

This study explores the innovative application and design of smocking technology in local Chinese clothing brands, emphasizing the technique’s evolution from a functional necessity to a decorative art form. It delves into the integration of smocking with modern fashion design, highlighting its significance in enhancing fabric texture, silhouette, and overall aesthetic appeal. Through comprehensive analyses of case studies and craft types, the paper reveals how local brands creatively adapt smocking, merging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design principles. The findings suggest that smocking technology not only enriches the textile design repertoire but also contributes to the global identity and innovation of local Chinese clothing brands, bridging heritage crafts with modern design innovations.
