Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs) is extensively used for wastewater treatment owing to its active functional groups. For improved efficiency, a nanocomposite of two metal oxides, cerium dioxide (CeO 2 ) and iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ), was prepared by ball milling. Two loadings (0.15 and...

ABSTRACT This study examines how Lean Six Sigma (LSS) currently functions in the U.S. textile and apparel industry after years of adoption and use. Moving beyond isolated project‐level evidence, this study investigates whether LSS has been implemented as an organizational capabil...

High-loading plant-fiber/PLA feedstocks are often reported through final filament properties, leaving the upstream compounding mechanisms that determine pellet feedability in two-stage routes insufficiently resolved. This study developed a compatibilizer- and plasticizer-free sin...

Multiscale mechanisms of water-induced hemp fiber reinforcement
Abstract Natural cellulosic fibers such as hemp are increasingly important for sustainable textiles, biocomposites, and eco-friendly structural materials, where mechanical performance is governed largely by how water is managed during processing; understanding water-induced reinf...

Influence of Yarn Micro-Architecture on Coupled Heat and Moisture Transport: Modeling and Validation
Abstract Heat and moisture are simultaneously generated during human activity, and evaporative heat loss becomes essential for comfort in warm environments; therefore, transport through voids of textiles must be understood at the structural level. This study uses parallel PET yar...
