Article Abstract
As an aspect of intelligent clothing, e-textile sensors can flexibly sense and transmit information about human bodies and environments. However, difficulties relating to their technology and the variation in textile materials employed in their manufacture still limit their ability to analyze and be applied. The authors' previous publication deployed a pressure sensor with warp-knitted spacer fabrics, wet-knitted fabrics, Ag-yarns, and Fe-yarns. An equivalent circuit analyzed the resistance behavior with some effects of the Ag-coated twisted yarns. In the present paper, the authors continue to evaluate the correlation model R-ε and the effects of the Fe staple-fiber spun yarns in detail. Together, the two studies provide an extensive understanding of the textile-related elements that affect pressure sensors. In addition, the process and the analysis (correlation model) could bring the textile sensors here developed close to the manufacturing stage, particularly for high precision/adjustable applications. We also develop a simple touch sensor matrix to demonstrate the potential of the sensor and the analyzing method.

Microplastics have joined a growing list of environmental pollutants that affect the ecosystem in general, as well as the health of land and sea fauna and humans. Textiles are a major source of microplastics, led by the release from polyester fibers that are two-thirds of global textile production. Polyester is used both in filament and staple fiber form, while staple fibers are more prone to shedding due to their shorter size, and therefore a greater number of fibers ends.

Carbon staple fiber composites are materials reinforced with discrete-length carbon fibers processed using traditional textile technologies, offering moderate mechanical properties and flexibility in manufacturing. These composites can be produced from recycled carbon staple fibers, aligned into yarn and tape-like structures, providing a more sustainable alternative while balancing performance, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact. Aligning staple fibers into tape-like structures enables similar applications to those of continuous-fiber-based products, while allowing control over fiber orientation distribution, fiber volume fraction, and length distribution, which are all critical factors influencing both mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties.

Based on pilot-scale twin-screw reactive extrusion, the structural and rheological properties of controlled-rheology polypropylenes (CR-PPs) are investigated, where the effects of peroxide content and extrusion conditions such as screw configuration, extrusion temperature, and screw speed are prioritized. The active chain cleavage reaction by a small peroxide content of less than 600 ppm inside the extruder gradually increases the melt index and narrows the molecular weight distribution of CR-PPs, thereby affording favorable properties that are applicable to the fiber spinning process. The mechanical properties of CR-PPs are slightly degraded owing to the generation of unsaturated chain ends during the reactive extrusion, which suppresses crystal growth.

Cotton, a staple fiber that grows around the seeds of the cotton plants (Gossypium), is produced throughout the world, and its by products, such as cotton fibers, cotton-seed oil, and cottonseed proteins, have a variety of applications. Cotton-seed contains gossypol, a natural phenol compound. (±)-Gossypol is a yellowish polyphenol that is derived from different parts of the cotton plant and contains potent anticancer properties.
