Advances in Halogen-Free Flame Retardants by Asim Kumar Roy Choudhury in Latest Trends in Textile and Fashion Designing (LTTFD) in Lupine Publishers

The challenges of finding substitutes for banned halogen-containing flame-retardants (HFFRs) more specifically bromine-based FRs (BFRs) include lower flame retardancy, high cost, serious melt-dripping and deterioration in mechanical properties of halogen-free products. Phosphorous-based FRs (both additive and reactive types), silicon FRs, intumescent flame-retardants (IFRs), nano-materials including nano composites, bio macromolecules, use of catalysts provide some alternatives to halogen-based FRs.

Journal of Textile Science and Technology: Lupine Publishers



Gen Y's lifestyle is analogous to America's 20th century professional woman trying to live outside the traditional parameters of the society. The movements of Pre-Raphaelites, early 20th century Hollywood stars, Bohemianism in the early stages, Style preferences of BCBG: Bon Chic Bon Genre and current deconstructed silhouettes reveal the traits of free spiritedness, not just because it adds on personal flavour but rather free spiritedness evolution as a way of life and attitude.

Transition in Knitwear Design Education towards Professionalism: A Framework for Creative Knitwear Education Using Finger Knitting- Based System by Li Li in Latest Trends in Textile and Fashion Designing (LTTFD) in Lupine Publishers


Due to the fast-growing knitwear markets and revival of knitting, knitwear design became important elements in design. Nevertheless, knitting was perceived as an inferior subject under current curriculum due to the deep traditional rooted role of it. Thanks to the passive learning cultures and unbalanced proportion of design and technology teaching modules, there was lack of systematic training of the knitwear design professions. This study thus aimed to develop an innovative finger knitting-based educational method to link the fundamental knowledge, realistic application and service setting of knitting. Historical development of knitting, how its impact on knitting education and the newly developed education method was discussed. Survey and informal interviews the effectiveness of this method was done. Students felt satisfied with the subject teaching method and found it useful to understand the principles of knitting.

Fibonacci Circle in Fashion Design by Zlatina Kazlacheva in Latest Trends in Textile and Fashion Designing (LTTFD) in Lupine Publishers

Fibonacci circle is a pattern which is created on the base of Fibonacci spiral square tilling and Fibonacci spiral. Fibonacci circle is designed similarly to Fibonacci spiral using the frame of Fibonacci spiral square tilling. The difference between both designs is: The spiral is drawn with quarter-circle arcs inscribed in the squares and Fibonacci circle is constructed with whole circles [1]. The design of Fibonacci circle on the frame of Fibonacci spiral square tilling is presented in Figure 1. The pattern without frame is shown in Figure 2. Similarly to Fibonacci circle the Golden circle can be created on the base of the Golden spiral [2].
