Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.

The technology and design of warp knitted jacquard seamless socks and pants

Journal of Industrial Textiles
Seamless knitting first emerged in the 1980s, mainly in two production methods: warp knitting and weft knitting. Among them, the weft knitting seamless technology appeared earlier, but due to the limitations of the production machinery structure and ...

Evaluating width-wise contraction of different cotton single knit structures due to the positioning of tuck and miss loops at different locations in the structural repeats

Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics, 2023
The contraction rates of weft knitted plain jersey fabric and some patterned single jersey fabrics with respect to machine gauge were determined. Fabric samples were knitted using cotton yarn at various stitch length values on a positive feed based multi

A Bio‐Functional Mimetic Robot for Versatile Tasks From Cross‐Scale Manipulation to Limb‐Tool Integration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A functionally biomimetic design methodology is presented, enabling a single robot to perform eight distinct functions and manipulate objects across a size range exceeding 2300‐fold. The robot exceeds basic human hand functions and demonstrates remote operation, multi‐object manipulation, humanoid‐robot hand interaction, and narrow‐space inspection ...

Dimensional Engineering of Wet‐Spun MOF‐Based Woven Fabrics for Superior Electromagnetic Wave Absorption

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work fabricated MOF‐based woven absorbing fabrics with dimensional engineering via a wet spinning strategy. The absorbing fabrics achieve a reflection loss of −51.47 dB at 2.9 mm, with an effective absorption bandwidth reaching 3.54 GHz. The absorbing fabrics can be freely bent, stretched, and folded, with individual fibers exhibiting a break ...

Magneto‐responsive fibers and fabrics for soft systems

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract The combination of functional materials in fiber form has led to a surge in the integration of functional fibers and fabrics into soft systems that span sensing, communication, and actuation domains. A key subset is magnetic fibers and fabrics.

Dual‐Functionality, Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles for Actuation and Motion Sensing in Smart Wearable Systems

Small, EarlyView.
This work presents a biofriendly carbon nanotube yarn artificial muscle operating either as an in‐air unipolar actuator or as a self‐powered ionotronic strain sensor. Using a non‐volatile eutectogel‐derived electrolyte, the system achieves up to 2.9% contraction and 0.5 mV/% strain sensing sensitivity.

A Texture‐Free Multi‐Scale Model for Surface‐Based Rendering of Knitted Fabrics

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Knitted fabrics present unique challenges for realistic rendering due to their complicated structure and scale‐dependent appearance. Existing methods typically rely on explicit yarn geometry, which is computationally complex, or texture‐based representations that require heavy storage and precomputed maps. In this paper, we introduce the first

Electrochemical decolorization of acid dye baths and their reuse potential in subsequent textile dyeing processes

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the electrochemical decolorization of waste acid dye baths and evaluates their potential reuse in subsequent textile dyeing processes. Four different anode materials (iron, aluminum, stainless steel and graphite) were examined to optimize color removal efficiency and assess the influence of electrochemically generated ...

Filtration performance of biaxial circular seamless knitted filter material based on electrostatic adsorption

Journal of Industrial Textiles, 2022
In order to solve the problem of dust accumulation at the joints of traditional filter materials and the reduction of filtration efficiency, weft knitting was selected to make the fabric cylindrical unwinding machine.
