Textile Maintenance

Each item has a specific role, although intelligent suits do not need to contain all those functions6,77. They all require appropriate materials and structures and must be compatible with the function of clothing comfortable, durable and resistant to regular textile maintenance processes19.

The mechanical properties of acryUc and modacryUc fibers are retained very well under wet conditions. This makes these fibers well suited to the stresses of textile processing. Shape retention and maintenance of original bulk in home laundering cycles are also good. Typical stress—strain curves for acryhc and modacryUc fibers are compared with wool, cotton, and the other synthetic fibers in Figure 2. 

The maintenance and improvement of current properties and the creation of new material properties are the important reasons for the functionalisation of textiles with sol-gel organosilica coatings with particle diameters smaller than 50 nm (nanosols).25 Coating with nanosols enables the manifold alteration of their physico-mechanical, optical, electrical and biological properties of a textile surface (Figure 4.28). 

A rchaeological excavations at pre-Columbian sites have yielded espe-cially rich collections of textile artifacts. These materials often reveal information of considerable anthropological and art historical significance. The difficulties of restoration, maintenance, and exhibition for archaeological textiles are well known to conservators and art historians (1). These materials are frequently recovered in a severe state of deterioration ranging from dangerous embrittlement to extreme friability. The...

Tapes or yarns for artifidal grass sports fields require attributes of both pigmented textile fibers and woven tapes long-term nonfading color and physical properties. This synthetic turf is popular because of its low maintenance costs, but the plastic must last several years under harsh use conditions for the high installation costs to pay themselves back as savings. Case 4.1 reviews such an application of PE turf [4-12, 4-14).
