Impact of Textile Architecture on the Electromechanical Behavior of Conductive Carbon: Silicone Composite Strain Sensors

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
A stretchable carbon composite is integrated by stencil printing onto two different types of textile, with different yarn morphologies. The impact of the knit structure and coating direction on the performance of the sensor composite is evaluated and used to derive a model estimating nominal resistance at a given strain near the percolation threshold ...

Metaheuristic Techniques to Optimize the Steaming Process of Elastic Denim Yarns

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2017
The elastic yarns are complex structures that are not easily controllable especially at the time of the severe requests because of their heterogeneous compositions. Optimizing the yarn properties after steaming process is important for the industrial and

Smooth Muscle Mechanosensitivity Generates and Maintains Pressure Gradients Across the Intestine

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Mechanosensitivity of the smooth muscle induces a positive‐feedback loop that spontaneously generates pressure gradients across gut segments and stabilizes initially applied pressure gradients. It can act jointly or compete with the pressure gradient induced by directional peristaltic waves.

Interface Pressure‐Friction Mechanics of Neonatal Mattress‐Textile Combinations

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In neonatal and infant care, the contact of skin with mattress and textile covers is particularly critical for preventing soft tissue damage due to their fragile skin. Textile covers can modify biomechanical load transfer by jointly affecting compression and shear at the skin interface. This study quantified body weight‐dependent interface pressure and

Study of the Theoretical and Rheological Models for the Mechanical Behaviour of Cotton Core Spun Yarn with Elastane

Journal of Textile Science & Engineering, 2012
This work is the development of tools and powerful models to characterize the dynamometric properties of cotton core spun yarn with elastane starting from the fibre properties composing this yarns (by taking account of the experimental and theoretical results) to find laws of mechanical behaviour starting from different rheological ...

Unseen Dangers: Indoor Air Pollution via Textiles: Sources, Dynamics, Pathways, Standards, and Mitigation Strategies—A Review

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Residential indoor air quality (IAQ) frameworks traditionally focus on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from building materials, cooking emissions, and outdoor penetration. However, the role of postconsumer textiles remains largely understudied.
