Dyes and Dyeing: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers


Dyeing in ancient times was conducted from natural animal and vegetable resources till artificial dyes were discovered in the middle of the 19th century in coal tar. Mordating using inorganic compounds to fix the dyes on textile material was responsible for the creation of alumina for the growing aluminum industry at the end of that century. Now inorganic material like asbestos can be dyed with synthetic dyes to render it less toxic and some minerals are dyed to enhance their beauty.

Creative Process in the Design and Creation of Textile Manufacture: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers


Man has his creative manifestations through his individual aspirations, thoughts and idealization. The need is a motivating factor that drives the search for knowledge, problem solving and satisfaction, Santis [1]. For Lobach [2] "The conduct of the human being is also driven by multiple and varied needs. The emergence of needs is not always logical, especially when other activities or processes have occasional preference. "Necessity seeks satisfaction; aspiration is the spontaneous will to obtain something that comes from idea or visualization. The aspiration consists in the desire to obtain something that can be reached or not. Needs and aspirations accompany the evolution of technology, information tools and economic development. Lobach [2] states that design consists of a systematized design, plan or method that includes problem solving incorporating ideas, innovation, sketching, samples, models to make concrete the solution found.

Future Prospect for Sustainable Luxury Textiles from Pineapple Leaf Fibre - An Agro Waste: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers


The treasure of Major natural fibres belongs to cotton, jute, wool, silk, flax, sisal and Manila hemp which are extensively used across the globe. Besides, a large number of fibres grown in lesser quantities throughout the world have local economic importance and are consumed locally. Utilization of underexploited, unexplored natural fibres from crop waste are not only critical issues in the international scenario but are also the need of the hour in developing countries like India to search out a suitable avenue for which separate spinning system is not widely available or established. Pine apple leaf fibre successfully tested as a base material for conveyor belts in the early eighties, could well have been the magic yarn of the day. Pineapple leaf fibre extracted from the green pineapple leaf, an agro waste reveals its immense potentiality in the field of textiles particularly due to the disposal problem after harvesting for cleaner and green environment.

Some Significant Advances in Yarn Splicing Technology: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers


The article reviews some of the significant researches in the yarn splicing technology. The effect of important factors on the breaking force of wet spliced yarns has been studied by means of a central composite design, which is a statistical tool. The impact of vent pressure on the quality of yarn splicing when twisting and untwisting has been investigated. Modelling, analysis, and simulation of the air splice is done with the integration of two software's, so as to analyse the flow field and obtain the effect of speed and pressure of the inside the splicing chamber when changing the speed and the pressure while maintaining the diameter of the splicing, the vent hole diameter and the relative angle unaltered. The influence of cotton/polyester fibre blend ratios on spliced portion diameter at various splicing air pressures has been studied. Studies have been directed regarding the influence of various yarn splicing parameters on the strength, elongation and the appearance of spliced cotton/flax yarn. A number of independent variables have been considered. A half factorial experimental design has been used with two levels of each variable. The design and analysis of experiments have been achieved with a specific software.

The Application Wearable Thermal Textile Technology in Thermal-Protection Applications: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers

The Application Wearable Thermal Textile Technology in Thermal-Protection Applications by Li Li in Latest Trends in Textile and Fashion Designing (LTTFD) in Lupine Publishers

The needs for better thermal protection exist in various fields of our life, like the better thermal treatment, outside chill sports field and freezing working condition etc. However, the traditional passive thermal insulated clothing is insufficient, too blocky and heavy to constrain the movement of wearers and uncomforted to wear. Thus, an innovative light, flexible and active wearable thermal protection needs to be developed. This article reviews the relevant wearable thermal textile technology by utilizing the latest conductive textile materials in three developing levels: the fiber level, the yarn level and the fabric level, to provide more possibilities for new products development in various fields, which will facilitate the transfer from research achievement into mass production to realize its commercial benefits.

A Combined Material Substitution and Process Change Approach to Sustainable Batik Production: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers



This paper empirically presents a batik production process optimization using sustainable production (SP) methods. The stages of batik production processes involve designing, methodology, dyeing, washing, and finishing. The cost of production is determined by the implementation efficiency and calculation of output to input ratio in the production process. The case study method is employed for production process optimization in two batik enterprises in the Kumasi metropolis. The main objective of this research, is to determine the impact of material sustainability, and the minimization of the production process cost in order to promote maximum operational economic benefits. The implications of this intervention shows that, in batik production process, there could be a saving cost of resisting material by GH₡ 31.00, with a process time of 290mins and an activity cost reduction of GH₡ 68.00 by just replacing paraffin wax with cassava starch. The identified intervention has also been found as significant to address the identified issues that bring a substantial change in the current manufacturing practices of the batik industry. It is recommended that much is to be gained in sustaining the practice when cultural themes are employed in the artifacts created.
