Interactive Textile Structures
2020Co-Authors: Lena T H BerglinAbstract:Textiles of today are materials with applications in almost all our activities. We wear clothes all the time and we are surrounded with Textiles in almost all our environments. The integration of multifunctional values in such a common material has become a special area of interest in recent years. Smart Textile represents the next generation of Textiles anticipated for use in several fashion, furnishing and technical Textile applications. The term smart is used to refer to materials that sense and respond in a pre-defined manner to environmental stimuli. The degree of smartness varies and it is possible to enhance the intelligence further by combining these materials with a controlling unit, for example a microprocessor. As an interdisciplinary area Smart Textile includes design spaces from several areas; the Textile design space, the information technology design space and the design space of material science. This thesis addresses how Smart Textiles affect the Textile design space; how the introduction of smart materials and information technology affects the creation of Future Textile products. The aim is to explore the convergence between Textiles, smart materials and information technology and to contribute to providing a basis for Future research in this area. The research method is based on a series of interlinked experiments designed through the research questions and the research objects. The experiments are separated into two different sections: interactive Textile structures and health monitoring. The result is a series of basic methods for how interactive Textile structures are created and a general system for health monitoring. Furthermore the result consists of a new design space, advanced Textile design. In advanced Textile design the focus is set on the relation between the different natures of a Textile object: its physical structure and its structure in the context of design and use.

an exploration of enhancing thermal protective clothing performance by incorporating aerogel and phase change materials
Fire and Materials, 2017Co-Authors: Hui Zhang, Guowen Song, Hui SuAbstract:Summary Thermal liners play a critical role in thermal protective performance for firefighter gear. Effective engineering of Textile material is necessary to enhance this protective performance. A modified thermal protective erformance (TPP) tester was used to study the influence of incorporating aerogel and microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) in thermal liners (including a traditional thermal liner, phase-change layer, and aerogel layer) and the relevant parameters associated with enhanced thermal liner performance. Two different phase-transition temperature (45°C and 50°C) of MPCM were selected. The samples were exposed to a medium intensity radiation of 15 kW/m2 for 240 seconds, and a skin burn model was applied for second-degree burn prediction. Given the selected, results showed that the best TPP in this study was achieved when the phase-transition temperature of MPCM was 45°C and the layering order consisted of the traditional thermal layer (closest to heat source), followed by an aerogel layer, and a final MPCM layer. The predicted second-degree burn time was 218.3 seconds and increased by 90% compared with only containing traditional thermal liner with a thickness of 5 mm. For all 3 materials contained in the thermal liner, the relationship between absorbed energy and predicted second-degree skin burn time indicated that they had a remarkable negative linear correlation (R2 was 0.9792). The experimental data and predicted results were in good agreement, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9911. The findings provide a scientific basis for Future Textile engineering and a novel approach to improve TPP.
