    Application of image processing for quantization and characterization of fabrics with polymeric coatings
    (PAMUKKALE UNIV, 2018) YILDIZ, KAZIM; Yildiz, Kazim; Yildiz, Zehra
    In this study, the dispersion quality of particles on polymeric coating formulations from cotton fabric surfaces was investigated by using gray level co-occurrence matrix and fractal dimension. Coating formulations with various nano particle inclusions were applied on cotton fabrics. The flame retardant property of coated fabrics were examined by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Images from the coated fabric surfaces were obtained by using optical microscopy and then these images were used in gray level and fractal dimension feature extraction processes. The microscopic images of the coated fabrics in various particle amounts were analyzed by using the image processing technique, and then classification and quantization processes were performed. The results of the image processing were compared to the results of TGA. The sample containing 5% montmorillonite (MMT) was found as having the best coating quality level by using feature extraction method in image processing. The average classification performance among all the samples was found as 92.5%.

    Synthesis and characterization of UV-curable cellulose acetate butyrate-based oligomers and their cotton fabric coatings
    (SPRINGER, 2021) BOZTOPRAK, YALÇIN; Dehmen, Ozan Gazi; Onen, Hacer Aysen; Yildiz, Zehra; Gungor, Atilla; Boztoprak, Yalcin
    In order to improve the thermal stability and flexibility, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) was modified with toluene diisocyanate-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (TDI-HEMA) adduct in various molar ratios. The obtained oligomer was characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. Gloss, cross-hatch, contact angle, and Taber abrasion tests were all used to investigate the film forming performance of the modified CAB oligomers on glass plates. The UV-cured free films of the synthesized oligomers were examined in terms of the mechanical tests. By using the synthesized CAB oligomers, coating formulations were prepared and applied onto cotton fabrics in order to make the cotton fabrics more durable in outdoor environments. The existence of the coating layer on the fabric surfaces was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The coated UV-cured fabrics were evaluated separately in terms of abrasion, thermal conductivity, and air and water vapor permeability properties. Results proved that the oligomer (50%-CAB) in which 50% of the hydroxyl groups of CAB were reacted with TDI-HEMA adduct showed the best mechanical properties with the highest tensile strength and modulus values. Considering the coated fabrics, the least deformation against abrasion, the highest air/water vapor permeability, and the best thermal conductivity were all recorded in 50%-CAB coated sample.

    Sustainable fabric printing by using pre-consumed cellulosic textile wastes: The effect of waste particle content
    (2024-04-05) YILDIZ, ZEHRA; KARTAL, İLYAS; KOÇAK, EMİNE DİLARA; ERYILMAZ, OĞUZ; YILDIZ Z., KARTAL İ., KOÇAK E. D., Ozer B., Kus B. N., ERYILMAZ O.
    The textile industry generates significant amounts of waste, including yarn/fiber fluffs, fabric scraps, offcuts, etc. These wastes can be recycled and repurposed for usage in screen printing which is a versatile and cost-effective printing technique by producing high-quality prints. In this study, pre-consumed colored cotton wastes were milled into 30–70 μm particle size by using a miller. Then the colored waste particles were included in a commercial printing paste and applied on cotton fabrics via screen printing. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were employed to observe the chemical changes in the printed textile fabrics. The printed fabrics were evaluated through color, wash/rub fastness, tensile strength, surface wettability, tactile, and air permeability properties. The dispersion quality of the waste particles on textile fabrics was observed by using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The overall results demonstrate that a 10% amount of waste fibrous particle inclusion to the printing paste gave optimum results by means of dispersion quality of wastes, air permeability, and handle properties. Above 10% waste amounts, the waste particles cannot be dissipated well on the fabric surface, resulting in agglomerated and non-uniform printed areas. These findings hold substantial potential for promoting sustainable coloring applications by using colored pre-consumed textile wastes within the textile industry while maintaining high-quality fabric products.
