“…Despite the extremely hydrophilic characteristic of BC, Wood (2019) noted that this property is not suitable for use under conditions of high humidity, which can increase with proximity to human skin. Therefore, bacterial cellulose cannot be used for domestic cleaning, for example, but research in this eld continues to explore this aspect (Wood 2019).…”

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has been studied as an alternative material in several segments of the food, pharmaceutical, materials and textile industries. The importance of BC is linked to sustainability goals, since it is an easily degradable biomaterial of low toxicity to the environment and is a renewable raw material. For use in the textile area, bacterial cellulose has attracted great interest from researchers, but it presents some challenges, notably hydrophilicity due to its porous structure. This bibliometric review article gathers studies and methods related to minimizing the hydrophilicity of bacterial cellulose in order to expand its applicability in the textile industry. The databases consulted were ScienceDirect, ProQuest and Web of Science, the documents investigated were scienti c articles and the time period investigated was between 2015 and 2021. The discussion is focused on the applicability of BC in the textile industry, highlighting the research needs, especially with regard to reducing wettability.

“…Consequently, the study of the structural component appears as a fundamental element in the addition of innovative properties to materials in a context where the fashion designer resembles an engineer, in an attempt to create portable environments in clothing [19]. Innovation with inspiration in Nature emerges as a support for the creation of new textile products adapted to various purposes, as illustrated by the example of Velcro ® , inspired by structural principles from the burdock plant burrs [20]. In the animal world, we can observe the exploration of the adhesion mechanism in the foot of the gecko (in its ability to scale different surfaces vertically), in the development of the vast field of nanotechnology and modern engineering, being some examples the following scientific studies/articles [21][22][23][24].…”

Textile Pattern Design in Thermal Vision—A Study on Human Body Camouflage

2021

This paper reports on a new approach to the creation process in fashion design as a result of the exploitation of thermal camouflage in the conceptualization of clothing. The thermal images’ main variation factors were obtained through the analysis of their color behavior in a (diurnal and nocturnal) outdoor beach environment, with the presence and absence of a dressed human body (through the use of a thermal imaging camera), such as the analysis of textile materials in a laboratory (simulating the captured outdoor atmospheric temperatures and those of the model’s skin using the climatic chamber and the thermal manikin). The combination of different patternmaking, sewing and printing techniques in textile materials, along with the study of the camouflage environment and the human body’s variation factors, as well as the introduction of biomimetic-inspired elements (chameleon’s skin), enabled the creation of a clothing design process with innovative de-sign elements which allow us to thermally camouflage the human body and take clothing beyond the visible spectrum in a functional and artistic way.

“…But if several brands are being supplied by the same workshops, they cannot reliably have a presence in each of them nor can additionally controls by NGOs be provided whenever necessary. Consequently, research shows that in developing countries, the minimum wage by law is far below what is needed to live [5].…”

“…Textile products can make a substantial contribution to increasing quality of life, particularly through products related to the safety and protection of people's lives. However, most garments are not currently biodegradable [5] and do not contribute to caring for the planet [6]. Therefore, the garment industry needs to develop products which take account of the social and environmental impact of the industry, such as those using natural materials, in order to offer consumers products in accord with the principle of social responsibility.…”

Fashion is a widespread cultural phenomenon which supports cultural attitudes and proposes new ways of acting. This study considers how ecological goals can be applied in the fashion industry through an awareness of its effects on the environment with the aim of conducting the process of designing and manufacturing fashion garments. To understand this needs practically, this study investigates on few industries in Hatyai municipality (Thailand) for knowing their practice on eco-fashion approach to support MSW management properly. The study adopts as its methodology a systematic review of relevant literature covering the twin problems of the degradation of the environment and the shortage of natural resources currently caused by the fashion-garment industry, in search of feasible solutions centred on the concept of eco-fashion. The study also addresses how the concept of ecological clothing can generate a new mentality among consumers. The study identifies concepts, techniques and processes which can economically be applied in producing fashion garments from a more ecologically sound starting point. This paper also sheds light on how corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be practiced within the fashion supply chain. This study contributes to the existing literature by assisting the understanding of the current situation of waste in the fashion-garment industry and the methods necessary to ensure eco-fashion designing and a responsible fashion supply chain.
