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].

Utilization of Forecasting Global Trends in Fashion and its Applications: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers


Considering the importance of technology and the human health in the advanced levels and several emergency medical and clinical issues associated with it, the key attention is given towards biomedical research. Thus, asserting the requirement of a common evoked and enriched information sharing platform for the craving readers. And there are sectors where the use of models is very important; in fact they can help in the comprehension of the surroundings and in the discovery of the natural laws in different sciences: textiles Design, Chemistry of textiles, Biology, Genetics of fibers, Physics. Among sectors where this forecasting knowledge modeling can be very interesting, we find the field of fashion, in particular the sphere of trends' valuation.

Fibre Reinforced Composites: Multiplicity of Application: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers


Today, at the age of developing newer materials, it is needed to relook all textile fibers and materials by introspection of it in depth the strength and weakness of different fibers to be used alone or in combination with other materials as composites. The development of newer composite materials and to find their newer application potential, are still very attractive subjects of research investigation. Among different category of composites being made, fibre reinforced composites i.e. polymer matrix composites containing fibres as further sub-category under the broad heads-(a) fibre reinforced composites having high performance fibres as reinforcing material such as glass, Kevlar, carbon and boron, etc., in an appropriate polymer matrix system, (b) fibre reinforced composites incorporating low-cost natural fibres as reinforcing materials such as jute, hemp, sisal, coir and ramie etc. in an appropriate blend using more than one fibre as reinforcing materials i.e., incorporating one high polymer resin matrix, and (c) fibre reinforced composites having high performance fibre in combination to get advantages of both in the resultant two fibres hybrid composites e.g., jute-glass fibre hybrid composites.

Extraction of Pectic Acid from Citrus Fruit Peels and its Application as Textile Printing Thickener: (LTTFD) - Lupine Publishers


Extraction of pectic acid by acid hydrolysis from citrus fruit peels and its conversion in to textile printing paste thickener in order to use it as an alternative substitute of sodium alginate thickener in reactive printing was studied in this research. Printing with the alternative thickener, sodium pectate, printed fabric characteristics; color yield, color brightness and wash fastness were improved. Pectic acid is extracted from the identified citrus fruit peels i.e. orange peel, lemon peel and bitter orange peels. Extraction time, type of solvent and extraction pH was standardized based on pectin yield obtained. The research found environment friendly extraction of pectic acid by sodium carbonate instead of acid hydrolysis with HCL or H2SO4.
