Integrating Multimodal Analysis For Chemical Detection In Victorian Bookcloth: Correlations, Advantages, And Limitations, Leila Ais, Abigail L. Hoermann, Jafer Aljorani Dec 2025

Integrating Multimodal Analysis For Chemical Detection In Victorian Bookcloth: Correlations, Advantages, And Limitations, Leila Ais, Abigail L. Hoermann, Jafer Aljorani

Student Scholar Symposium

The detection of heavy metals in Victorian textiles presents a set of unique analytical challenges that cannot be addressed through usage of a single modality. Here, we detail a novel multimodal analytical approach that integrates distinct yet complementary instrumentation: inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) offering precise quantitative elemental analysis, portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) enabling rapid, affordable, and non-destructive detection, electron dispersive spectroscopy – scanning electron microscopy (EDS-SEM) mapping elemental distributions and sample topography, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealing crystalline structures. This comparative study highlights the strengths and limitations of each analytical technique, demonstrating how their combined use provides a …


Environmental Risk Assessment Of Textile Waste From Bio-Engineered Fibers In The Fashion Industry, Aayush Pankaj Agarwal, Harshit Soral, Irmak Aktan, Karol Montserrat Gonzalez Saad, Maria Daniela Saa Espinosa, Sheetal Suhas Dhanuka, Yi Yang Dec 2025

Environmental Risk Assessment Of Textile Waste From Bio-Engineered Fibers In The Fashion Industry, Aayush Pankaj Agarwal, Harshit Soral, Irmak Aktan, Karol Montserrat Gonzalez Saad, Maria Daniela Saa Espinosa, Sheetal Suhas Dhanuka, Yi Yang

Harrisburg University Dissertations and Theses

The global fashion industry generates over 92 million tons of textile waste annually, a figure projected to increase significantly by 2030. Bio-engineered fibers, including bacterial cellulose, mycelium-based leather, and recombinant protein textiles emerge as sustainable alternatives to conventional fibers. Despite their promise, recent evidence suggests that these fibers may pose environmental risks at the end-of-life stage, such as incomplete biodegradation in landfills, microfiber shedding, and chemical leaching from dyes and coatings. The purpose of this study is to examine how these risks are represented through scientific literature, corporate sustainability reports, and policy frameworks, and to identify strategies for integrating risk …


Long-Term Degradation Of Natural-Fiber Coir Turf Reinforcement Mat Installed Along An Urban Stream In South Carolina, Kayden G. Rothery, Bob L. Lowe Aug 2025

Long-Term Degradation Of Natural-Fiber Coir Turf Reinforcement Mat Installed Along An Urban Stream In South Carolina, Kayden G. Rothery, Bob L. Lowe

Research from the Berry Summer Thesis Institute, 2025

Nature-based (or “living”) solutions to shoreline restoration are attractive due to their positive contributions to ecosystem function and service provision in coastal and estuarine environments. However, non-biodegradable plastics are widely used in their implementation; for instance, plastic-based geotextile fabrics are used to stabilize soil and organic matter to prevent loss of sediment fill. Paradoxically, these polymer-based geotextiles intended to protect the estuarine environment are unintended sources of plastic pollution as they inevitably degrade over time. Consequently, there is significant interest in transitioning from synthetic polymer-based geotextiles to sustainable non-plastic alternatives. To begin addressing this compelling research opportunity, this project aims …


Theoretical Analysis Of The Fiber Flow Movement Under The Influence Of Columns, Avazbek Azamatovich Obidov, Rashid Gulomjonovich Rakhimov Mar 2025

Theoretical Analysis Of The Fiber Flow Movement Under The Influence Of Columns, Avazbek Azamatovich Obidov, Rashid Gulomjonovich Rakhimov

Technical science and innovation

During the study, the optimal design for testing the improved fiber cleaning device was initially selected, and a process flow diagram of the fiber cleaning chamber was created for theoretical studies. According to this process flow diagram, based on theoretical studies, the behavior of fibers in the grate of the fiber cleaning device was studied, and the effect of changing the geometric parameters of the grates on the cleaning efficiency was determined. Using the developed mathematical model, graphs were constructed for the dependence of the fiber flow rate on the angle of coverage at different values of the angular speeds …

Investigation On The Mechanical And Physical Properties Of Medical Scrub Fabrics, Hafez S. Hawas Jan 2025

Investigation On The Mechanical And Physical Properties Of Medical Scrub Fabrics, Hafez S. Hawas

Journal of Art, Design and Music

Medical scrub fabric is crucial for healthcare providers, as it offers medical professionals a blend of comfort, functionality, and hygiene. These factors significantly influence the overall performance and effectiveness of healthcare staff in their jobs. Therefore, the main objective of this research to investigate the relationship between different weft materials, weave structures and the mechanical and physical properties of produced medical scrub fabrics. For this aim, eight medical scrub samples were produced varying in weave structure (plain 1/1 & twill 3/1) and four different weft materials (Cotton, Bamboo and Microfiber polyester with two different number of fibers in cross section). …


Sustainable Hemp Industrial Panels (Ship) And Its Industrial Possibilities For The Replacement Of Oriented Strand Board (Osb), Anthony Ollins Jan 2025

Sustainable Hemp Industrial Panels (Ship) And Its Industrial Possibilities For The Replacement Of Oriented Strand Board (Osb), Anthony Ollins

Masters Theses

This study explores the feasibility of using industrial hemp fiber to create composite panels—termed Sustainable Hemp Industrial Panels (SHIP) as a potential competitor for oriented strand board (OSB), a commonly used structural wood product. Given hemp's historical and environmental advantages, including rapid growth, carbon sequestration capacity, and material strength, this research investigates its performance when combined with Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) resin, and in a hybrid form with Southern Yellow Pine (SYP). Two hemp-based composites were produced and tested: one with hemp and UF, and another with hemp and SYP. Using a custom-built hydraulic press, composite panels were fabricated and subjected to …


Mathematical Modeling For Pile Yarn Length And Crimp Ratio In Woven Terry Fabric, Elham E. Elemam, Hamdy A.A. Ebraheem, Ahmed S. Eldeeb, Rehab Abd Elkhalek Jan 2025

Mathematical Modeling For Pile Yarn Length And Crimp Ratio In Woven Terry Fabric, Elham E. Elemam, Hamdy A.A. Ebraheem, Ahmed S. Eldeeb, Rehab Abd Elkhalek

Mansoura Engineering Journal

In this research, a mathematical model for predicting the consumed length and crimp ratio of pile warp yarns in woven terry towel fabrics was developed. The mathematical formulas interrelate the construction parameters of the woven terry fabric such as weave structure, weft count, weft density, counts of pile and ground warp yarns and loop length with the consumed length and crimp ratio of pile warp yarns. Experimental verification was conducted on nine terry cotton fabric samples produced with three different levels of weft density, weft count and loop length. Results showed that theoretical values highly corresponded to the measured values …
