The textile industry plays a crucial role in economic development and enhancing the quality of life for people. With increasing environmental awareness and rising living standards, the development of eco-friendly fibers and functional textiles has become a hot topic in academia. The seaweed fiber, as a biodegradable and renewable fiber, has been widely applied in textiles and medicine due to its natural flame resistance, biodegradability, simple production, and low cost. It has gradually expanded into fields such as flame-retardant protection and healthcare. Simultaneously, temperature-controlling textiles, as a new type of functional textile, can regulate temperature by combining phase change materials with fibers, thereby enhancing comfort for the human body. However, phase change fiber products still face challenges in practical applications, such as the choice of wall materials and the lifespan of phase change materials. Both inorganic and organic materials can be used as wall materials for microcapsules. Organic wall materials have been widely used as coating materials but face challenges such as low thermal conductivity, poor mechanical properties, and short lifespan. Inorganic wall materials possess good mechanical strength and thermal conductivity but are still in the development stage. Therefore, this study aims to explore the feasibility of combining seaweed fibers with phase change materials to prepare temperature-regulating fibers, with a focus on optimizing the selection of wall materials and improving the thermal performance of microcapsules through process parameter optimization. To address the issues of poor thermal conductivity of phase change materials and the single functionality of fiber products, organic wax was used as the phase change material, and CaCO3 with high thermal conductivity and low cost was used as the coating material to prepare phase change microcapsules via self-assembly. Then, wet spinning technology was employed to combine phase change microcapsules with seaweed fibers, resulting in temperature-regulating seaweed fibers with environmental and heat storage properties. In the preparation process, process parameters such as the core-to-wall mass ratio, reaction temperature, and rotation speed were optimized to obtain microcapsules with moderate particle size, good appearance, and excellent thermal performance. The obtained seaweed fibers' temperature-regulating performance was tested. This study selected inorganic materials with good thermal conductivity as coating materials and used biodegradable sodium alginate as the fiber forming material, together with wet spinning technology, providing new ideas for the functional development of textiles. The results show that by using organic wax as the phase change material and CaCO3 as the coating material, phase change microcapsules could be successfully prepared through self-assembly. After optimizing process parameters such as core-to-wall mass ratio, reaction speed, and emulsifier type, microcapsules with regular spherical particles, good thermal performance, and excellent thermal stability were obtained, with a phase change enthalpy of 95.2 J/g. By blending the optimized phase change microcapsules with sodium alginate, temperature-regulating seaweed fibers were prepared via wet spinning technology. The temperature-regulating fibers were evenly distributed in the seaweed fiber, exhibiting good phase change characteristics, with a phase change enthalpy of 38.6 J/g. This study successfully combines phase change microcapsule technology with seaweed fibers, achieving the preparation of environmentally friendly temperature-regulating fibers, and providing new ideas and technical support for enhancing the functionality and environmental performance of textiles. In the future, further optimization of process parameters to improve the preparation efficiency of phase change microcapsules and the stability of fibers' performance should be explored, along with tapping into the development potential of more functional fibers to meet the market demand for eco-friendly and functional textiles.

This study aims to improve the utilization rate of abandoned corn bracts, while decreasing the production cost of the bag of fruit cultivating in sustainable agriculture. Five representative bags of fruit cultivating were collected in the market as the controlled samples, including the plastic film bag A, special bag B for grape, one-, two- and three-layered bag C, D, and E. The basic structural characteristics of controlled samples were firstly analyzed. Then, alkali cooking was used to degum the corn bracts for the extraction of fibers. Subsequently, the corn bract fibers were cut into (5±0.5) mm long, thereby mixing evenly with the waste paper scraps in a ratio of 1.5:1. The wet mesh forming was adopted to prepare the fruit-cultivating bag material F. The mechanical properties of material F were tested after fabrication. The experimental results showed that the prepared material F behaved a strong tensile resistance, where the tensile loads for the dry and wet material F were up to 20.02 N and 13.79 N, respectively. Moreover, the retention rate reached 68.9% for the tensile load of wet material F. Furthermore, an excellent extension performance was achieved for the high requirements of mechanical properties in the fruit bagging. A scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) was adopted to observe the microstructure of the prepared materials F and the controlled samples in the market, further to analyze the distribution of holes in the matrix. The bagging properties were also measured, including air permeability, heat-insulating property, shading property, and water management ability. The experimental data demonstrated that the fruit-cultivating bag material F presented an excellent air permeability. Specifically, the air-flow rate and permeability of material were 73.5 mm/s and 173.7 L/m2 •s, respectively. In contrast to the controlled samples, the maximum air-flow rate and permeability were only 2.5 mm/s and 0.3 L/m2 •s, respectively. In addition, the heat loss of boiling water was about 265 kJ, when the prepared material was used to keep the boiling water for 60 min. The transmittance of the material F was about 0.4 % in the visible light range, and 0.09 % in the ultraviolet light range. The shielding properties showed that the prepared material ensured the photosynthesis of fruits during the growth process. Meanwhile, material F was expected to protect the fruit from ultraviolet light burning. Excellent ability of water conductivity was also achieved, where the core suction height reached 31 mm within 30 min. As such, the water in the fruit-cultivating bag during rainy days discharged quickly to enhance the quality of fruit products. Low wet evaporation indicated that the water retention performance was obviously better than that of the special bag B for the grape in the market. Most significantly, the thermal insulation performance of the new fabricated material was better than that of the controlled samples in the market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The RAFT agent(DDAT-F127-DDAT)was synthesized by modified trithioester, and the novel polymerizable ferrocene monomer 2-(methacryloyloxy)and its Poly(Ethyl ferrocenecarboxylate)(PFcMA)were synthesized by esterification with ferrocenecarboxylic acid as raw material.Then,F127-block polymer P(FcMA-F127-FcMA),a new type of ferrocene-co-polymerized product, was synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT),with FcMA as monomer and DDAT-F127-DDAT as RAFT chain transfer agent. The synthesized polymers were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), gel chromatography(GPC), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), DTG analysis and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and solubility in solvent. The results show that the thio-thioester is successfully modified by F127 into a new RAFT agent. The molecular weight of P(FcMA-F127-FcMA)is 2.4×104 and the molecular weight distribution is 2.12. P(FcMA-F127-FcMA)has a higher thermal stability in a nitrogen atmosphere with a decomposition temperature of between 400 ℃ and 450 ℃. In addition, P(FcMA-F127-FcMA)has good solubility in tetrahydrofuran, methyl chloride and ester solvents.The study provides some ideas and references for the late ferrocene polymer research.

Application of the bending mechanical properties of textile fiber in some actual productions has a long history. The strings of western violin, Chinese violin, lyre are all made by textile fibers, which were chosen and designed by professionals according to historical experience through repeated trial. Anti‐noise ear plug made of textile fibers has only been considered air flow resistance, however, the influence of fiber bending vibration mechanics has not been involved. In this paper, the relationship between bending mechanical properties of textile fiber and string vibration as well as vibration energy is explored in theory, and verified by a series of experiments. Theoretical formulas are deduced and the design method is also provided. Furthermore, the correction factor of non‐circular cross section is supplemented in actual application, which will provide theoretical foundation and methods for material selection of musical instruments, test of the linear density, and material design of anti‐noise ear plug.
