“…The materials used for insulation and thermoregulation are typically made of multi-layer materials consisting of two outer layers and an inner padding traditionally made from goose or duck feathers [1]. These are light and compressible products in which thermal insulation is obtained by exploiting the feather's ability to trap the air, which is widely known as one of the best thermal insulators [2].…”

Materials used for creating fabrics featuring insulation and thermoregulation are typically made of multi-layer materials consisting of two outer layers and inner padding, traditionally made from goose or duck feathers or even with synthetic materials. In this context, the development of a fabric in which the insulation is carried out directly thanks to the structure of its weave, i.e., where the thermoregulation function is entrusted to one of the yarns (suitably volumized to reduce its density and trap the air) may be an important improvement compared to the state of the art. Accordingly, the present work describes the development of a new kind of triple-layer thermo-insulated innovative fabric (named T4Innovation), in which the thermal insulation is not obtained by means of a padding but rather through the use of appropriate volumized yarns, able to ensure thermal insulation in a reduced thickness. This fabric is manufactured in a single weaving phase, greatly facilitating the subsequent operations of the garment maker. The designed and manufactured fabric was extensively tested to assess its performance. The test demonstrated the effectiveness of such a new class of textile product in terms of thermal performance, which is comparable to the ones of a padded material. Since T4Innovation demonstrates aesthetic properties very close to that of traditional unpadded fabrics, its future commercialization could open new horizons in terms of design, fashion, and style, which are cornerstones of the fashion textile industry.

An approach is developed to characterize the failure initiation behavior of a textile composite through the use of meso-scale analysis. Failure initiation is determined for various combinations of stress components and thermal loads using a meso-scale model. An approach is then developed that utilizes the results of these analyses to quickly determine whether failure occurs for an arbitrary loading state corresponding to a volume average stress acting on the textile unit-cell. The inclusion of thermal loads and resulting residual stresses leads to additional complexities with regards to the application of failure criteria to the meso-scale constituents. These complexities are explored along with an investigation into the effect that thermal loads have on the strength of the textile composite. Finally, characteristic failure initiation behaviors are examined, and it is observed that there are a very few characteristic behaviors which exist relative to the total number of sample loading cases examined.

“…In general, the long and short fibers improve the properties of materials. The short fibers are used in the material processed using the extruder and injection machine, but in the case of long fiber it is possible to fabric the materials as film, such as textile composite; these composites presents several advantages when it provides inherent reinforcement in multiple directions especially when they are suitable for polymer reinforcement. For several years, these two dimensional structures have been used in maritime craft, air craft, high performance automobiles, and civil infrastructure .…”

In this work, the development and the mechanical characterization of a doum textile composite based on a polypropylene matrix were carried out. Mechanical and rheological tests were effectuated, to illustrate the effect of woven fibers on the mechanical and viscoelastic properties at 0 , 15 , 30 , and 45 directions. The woven fibers were treated and the matrix was melted to a coupling agent to assure compatibility between the fibers and the polymer. The composites with long fiber are generally used as film and the main properties is the tensile. In this study, our goal was to improve the tensile properties. Results have shown that tensile properties exhibited a significant increase when compared to the polypropylene. However, it was observed that the stress direction has no influence on the thermal properties of the composite. Also, this article evaluates models that predict the stiffness of the composites at different stress directions to be compared to the experiments.
