“…Generally, the mechanical strength of natural fbers such as cotton and fax obtained from plant sources is mostly infuenced by so many factors such as moisture content, amount of cellulose, microfbrillar angle, temperature, and amount of defect present on the fbers [17][18][19]. Te mechanical performance of the cotton and fax fbers is enhanced when the fbers are exposed to wet condition and lose their strength in dry moisture content while the mechanical strength of wool fbers is decreased in wet condition and increased in dry conditions [20].…”

In this study, a new method to prepare polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel-based woven fabric composite is presented. In this method, the woven fabric was first stitched with PVA yarn and then subjected to the borax solution for simultaneously dissolving and crosslinking PVA. The prepared PVA hydrogel-based woven fabric composite was chemically, mechanically, and thermally characterized. FTIR analysis was performed to confirm the crosslinking of PVA on the reinforced fabric surface. X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out to investigate the crystallinity of the composite. An optical microscope was used to investigate the surface morphology of the composites. Moreover, a DSC analysis was done to investigate the thermal characteristics of the composite. The mechanical and fluid absorbency characteristics of the composite were analyzed to investigate the effect of the concentration of PVA yarn on the tensile strength and water absorbency of composites. The results showed that the tensile strength and rigidity of the composite increased by increasing the PVA yarn content in the composite.

“…In parallel with the developments in the agricultural sector, technological developments and an increase in quantity should be expected in the textile products used in agriculture. Such textile products, which are called agricultural textiles, are a subclass of technical textiles, and are the textile materials produced due to their technical performance, and functional properties rather than their aesthetic, and visual properties [5]. Greenhouse textiles covers the category of technical textile materials produced for agriculture, horticultural (including floriculture), aquaculture, and forestry requirements.…”

The increase in food production due to the need for food brought by the increasing world population from year to year necessitates production at high quality and in much larger quantities in every season. In order to grow fruit and vegetables efficiently, sensors that measure ambient temperature and humidity are needed in greenhouses. Two different flexible and resistant textile-based humidity sensors that can measure the humidity at higher levels (80%, 90%, and 100% RH) were designed and printed directly on the four different greenhouse fabrics using silver and carbon conductive inks. Fabric thickness, weight, tensile, tear strength, elongation, abrasion, air permeability, water permeability tests for evaluating various physical and mechanical properties of specimen fabrics to be used for the sensor were carried out. In addition, depending on the humidity value in the environment, the sensor performance was tested based on sensor electrical resistance measurements with respect to repeated bending/cyclic tests, rubbing, UV exposure/ weatherability (against UV and raining) tests. Moreover, some important features of the sensors such as hysteresis, repeatability, response time have been also examined. Statistical analyses showed that the sensor designs and type of conductive inks had significant effects on the performance of the humidity sensors and the best sensor performance was obtained with the polypropylene coated fabric using design II and silver based conductive ink. The fabricated textile based flexible humidity sensors detect the change in relative humidity levels from 80%RH to 100%RH accurately and achieve good durability, and repeatability even after prolonged UV exposure and raining. Thus, the developed textile-based flexible humidity sensor might be useful for future smart agricultural applications.
