Since the 1930s, the dry-cured ham industry has used methyl bromide fumigation to control Tyrophagus putrescentiae (ham mite) infestations. However, due to methyl bromide being a class I ozone depleting substance and no longer being manufactured, alternatives to methyl bromide have been studied extensively. Direct contact food-grade coatings and coated ham nets of various materials have shown efficacy in controlling ham mite growth and reproduction. These coated nets, often including propylene glycol, can be dried to ease application and reduce shipping cost, but chemical and thermal treatments on fabrics may cause the fabrics to become more brittle, which negatively impacts stretchability and bursting strength, and ultimately the effectiveness of the net. Scanning electron microscopy can provide precise visual inspection of fabric surface morphology, allowing for a detection of potential damage to the fibers. This purpose of this review is to summarize the application of food-grade coatings on nets used in the dry-cured ham industry to control mite infestations. More importantly, the review provides comprehensive information on coated nets, covering various aspects such as the selection of netting materials, evaluation of fabric properties, techniques for coating nets, net drying method, all in relation to their efficacy for mite control. This review contributes to the broad area of this applied technology by highlighting efficacious treatments to control mites, ineffective treatments, a discussion of processes to evaluate their properties, and future prospectives regarding this area of study.

“…This process may cause the thermal shrinkage behavior of PET fibers. But the thermal shrinkage of PET fabric is so small that it can be ignored [26]. Finally, the fabrics were soaked in deionized water for 6 h at room temperature under stirring and transferred to an oven for drying completely.…”

Electric fabric heaters have demonstrated potential applications in a wide range of fields for medical electrothermal, human healthcare and athletic rehabilitation. Whereas, little attention has been paid to the resistance variations and the interface of electric heaters. Here, this paper focuses on the resistance temperature-sensitive behavior and interfacial electricity of reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/polyester (PET) fabrics, which are obatained through a facile and scalable dip-coating method. When a current of 0.055 ampere (A) is applied, the RGO/PET fabric can achieve an equilibrium temperature about 89 °C in 20 s, with a maximum heating rate of 11.78 °C/s. Besides, the relative resistance changes of RGO/PET fabric are linearly related to the temperature. When the RGO/PET fabric reaches its steady-state temperature of 89 °C, the value of ΔR/R0 drops by ∼30%, showing that the fabric is endowed with temperature sensitivity. These prominent results indicate that the RGO/PET fabric owns great promise in the field of wearable electric heaters. Notably, the contact resistance at the interface of RGO/PET fabric heater is investigated and the mechanism of the temperature in middle part of heater is higher than that of both ends is analyzed. This provides a qualitative decoupling analysis method for the study and analysis of interfacial electricity and electrothermal distribution of carbon materials.

“…This includes a shrinkage force and a bulking behavior using a thermoplastic fiber and a bicomponent fiber. Thermoplastic fiber shrinkage in knit fabrics is well-documented, and is characterized in its effect on washing, drying, or manufacturing of knit fabrics and garments (Perera and Lanarolle 2020). Bicomponent fibers combine two materials with contrasting properties that are extruded and fused together in cross section.…”

In this paper we outline a new workfl ow for textile customization through the design and fabrication of knit shape-changing masks that contain multi-material fi bers to create programmable transformation. We have created a process for producing standardized and scalable textile goods using a fl atbed industrial CNC knitting machine, which are then "tailored" to an individual's body measurements through a system of programmable textiles, custom multi-material fi ber, and robotic heat activation. Hybridizing the effi ciency of standardized textile production with unique geometric variation, the proposed strategy centers on the shape-change behavior of fi bers and precise knit structures to produce personalized textiles. This work focuses on the face mask as an example of a now-ubiquitous textile good that is often ill fi tting and yet can now be highly tailored to an individual's personal fi t and comfort. This paper outlines the materials, knit fabric development, mask design, digital workfl ow, and fabrication steps for producing truly customized masks for an individual's unique facial geometry.
