• Relationship Between Cotton Varieties and Moisture Vapor Transport of Knitted Fabrics Technical paper, reporting on a study focused on the moisture vapor transport properties (MVTR) of cotton fabrics knitted from 31 different cotton fibers with different pedigrees grown over a three year period in three major cotton growing areas of the US. Authors: Seshadri S. Ramkumar and others.
• Decolorization and Detoxication of Textile Dyes with a Laccase from Trametes Hirsuta Extensive scientific paper about the process of decolorization and detoxification of textile dyestuff effluents with the T. Hirsuta enzyme. Authors: Elias Abadulla and others.
• Functionalisation of Textiles - Furure Perspectives Technical paper about the development of surface modifications and finishing technologies of textiles, aimed at imparting value adding functional effects, and the development of specific test methods able to measure the effectiveness, durability and toxicity of the claimed functionalities. Author: Louis Almeida.
• Measuring White Specks in Dyed Cotton Fabrics Using the Optimas Imaging System Technical paper presenting systematic procedures for the evaluation of clusters of immature fibers (white specks) on dyed woven and knitted fabrics using image analysis equipment. From the Journal of Cotton Science. Authors: P. Bel and T. Von Hoven.
• White Speck Detection on Dyed Fabric Using Image Analysis Technical paper reporting on the development of an image analysing system for counting and sizing white specks on dyed fabrics, which showed to be faster and more efficient in comparison with the manual counting method. Authors: Young J. Han and others.
• White Speck Quantification: A Human Inspection Technique Technical paper on the development of human inspection techniques designed to quantify and compare white specks present on dyed yarn and on cloth made from that yarn, to form an accurate and repeatable method of quantifying white specks. Authors: James L. Simonton and others.
• The Ultraviolet Protection Factor of Naturally-pigmented Cotton Technical paper presenting a study aiming to determine the ultra-violet protection values (UPF) of naturally pigmented cotton in the shades green, tan and brown, and the effect of light exposure and laundering on the sun blocking properties of naturally pigmented cotton. From the Journal of Cotton Science. Authors: Gwendolyn Hustvedt and Patricia Cox Crews.
• Using the Reactive Dye Method to Covalently Attach Antibacterial Compounds to Cotton Technical paper, presenting a study on the potential of making anti-bacterial fabrics to act as barriers against specific diseases or wound infections, by attaching well described anti-bacterial drugs to cotton fabric. From the Journal of Cotton Science. Authors: D.T.W. Chun and G.R. Gamble.
• Engineering the Design Attributes of Woven Interior Textiles Using Shape Memory Polymer Technical paper about research conducted into the development of interior textiles with shape memory attributes by engineering shape memory polymer (SMP) into a woven structure, which enables it to easthetically change shape and interact with its users and surroundings. Authors: Yvonne Y.F. Chan and George K. Stylios.
• Velocity Control of Weft Insertion on Air-jet Looms by Fuzzy Logic Technical paper presenting a study of the effects of yarn properties on weft yarn velocity along the tube in a fuzzy logic controlled weft insertion system of an air-jet weaving loom. Authors: M. Cengiz Kayacan and others.
• Utilisation of Linear Textile Wastes with Use of a Rotary Loom Technical paper presenting a novel method of utilising linear textile wastes as direct warps in multi-shed rotary weaving looms to produce apparel quality fabrics and cloth for composite reinforcement applications. Authors: Janusz Szosland and others.
• Seamless Textiles with Inherent Shape Doctor of Philosophy dissertation about research aiming to investigate new methods in which a shaped seamless woven product could be produced using current technology. Author: Kim Suzanne Anderson.
• Plasma Aided Finishing of Textile Materials Doctor of Philosophy dissertation about research into ways to better characterize atmospheric plasmas and fully understand the mechanism(s) of surface interaction, and to develop a new model for measuring the effects of atmospheric pressure plasma on various substrates during textile finishing processes. Author: Suzanne Rodden Matthews.
