This project analyzed the physical-mechanical performance of plates and pavers with the incorporation of waste originated from the sorting process in the city of Blumenau, SC, Brazil. The waste consisted of organic waste, polymers, paper, glass and textile materials which were reduced in size (2.4mm to 19.0mm) and then used to replace natural aggregate at different ratios: 5%, 10%, 20% and 30%. The consistency of the fresh mortar and the physical-mechanical indices, the apparent specific gravity, water absorption and compressive strength of the hardened mortar were determined. Scanning electron microscopy analysis and flexural strength tests were also conducted. The bulk density of the plates and pavers ranged from 0.8 to 1.6g.cm-3 and 1.78 to 1.84g.cm-3 respectively. In the case of low incorporation of waste, both materials presented wat.....ReadMore

Since the 1990s the Internet affected different industries and forced firms to change their business models and pushed toward the adoption of new strategies. The same happened in fashion industry, where e-commerce, personal computers, and smartphones created the opportunity for fashion firms to be closer to their customers, adopting CRM, and multichannel or omnichannel strategies. The main aim of this study is to analyze the potential conflicting presence of online and brick-and-mortar strategies in the fashion industry. We used a representative sample of 19 large firms in Europe, operating in the retailing brand fashion industry. Our data analysis shows how leading firms, facing a disruptive technology (the emergence of e-commerce), have been able to absorb it, in a context of co-existence between online and brick-and-mortar strategies.....ReadMore

The quality of the undergarments is a combination of design and materials of the desirable products for intended use and the target market. No one will buy a product of poor quality or with any visual defects. The industry critically depends on the factories, the complex supply chain, and if the best procedures are maintained in their quality control systems. A good quality control system maximizes production according to specified requirements in the first attempt. To achieve an acceptable level of satisfaction, quality control is important for design quality, colors, suitability of products, stylistic approach and brand name impact on the market. The most common reason for fabric breakage on cheap undergarments is the fact that there are no set quality standards for most of the cheap products. The consumer checks the quality.....ReadMore

“Architecture and Fashion - Something in Common”, is exploring the parallels between one of the most two influential fields in the creative design industry; which are “Architecture” and “Fashion”. The purpose of the research work introduced in this paper is to find the common elements between architecture and fashion. “Design” and “Creativity” are major common elements between architecture and fashion, where both fields involves; imagination, art, visualization, creativity, and skill. On the other hand, architects develop a variety of creative design skills during their undergraduate studies in addition to learning their major in “Architecture”, such diversity of skills expands the realm of their job market, so that those who did not manage to find jobs in their field of major as architects may be able.....ReadMore

The number of companies manufacturing and selling textiles based on hemp fibers are gradually increasing worldwide. Hemp fabric or hemp textiles are made from cannabis sativa fiber or industrial hemp. Being a natural, renewable and biodegradable material, hemp enjoys obvious advantages over synthetic textile materials like acrylic, polyester, nylon and spandex used for making fabrics. Hemp creates one of the most eco-friendly fabrics in the world. Hemp requires no pesticides or herbicides, controls erosion of the topsoil, and produces oxygen. It is a renewable resource that can be cultivated in as little as 100 days and is the world’s most versatile fiber. In comparison, cotton is more water-intensive and takes longer to reach harvest age and produces less.....ReadMore

Textile and fashion industry are the thirstiest for water as it is one of the largest water consumers from fibre production to finished product. Unfortunately, all the scientific reports and opinions of renowned water experts are predicting the severe water scarcity in the near future in many parts of world particularly the developing countries where textile and fashion industry production activities are located because of cheap labour and less stringent environmental laws. The gloomy picture of water scarcity is good enough to caution the textile and fashion industry to take appropriate measures to use the water resources sustainably and make all efforts to save water at every stage of supply chain. In the first part of this series attempt has been made to provide a critical review of water distribution on earth, inequitable w.....ReadMore

During high speed sewing, needle thread is subjected to dynamic loading, inertia forces, friction and repeated tensile stresses at tremendous rates. The value of these stresses depends upon stitching speed, sewing thread tension, stitch length and sewing thread properties. These parameters affect the tensile properties of sewing threads adversely, leading to loss in seam strength. In this study, the effect of various parameters lubrication (%), stitch density, the number of fabric layers and stitching speed on tensile properties of sewing thread has been studied using Box- Behnken design. Contrary to the popular belief, loss in tenacity increases as stitching speed increases. 4% lubrication (%) is suggested to get minimum tenacity loss (%)......ReadMore

The analysis of colour in terms of hue, value and chroma has its origin deeply rooted with Ostwald concept of colour quantification, though from the epic age, this colour has played an important role in human life. This inspired us to explore the vast storehouse of the natural’s palette to initially paint ourselves then to dye the apparels. According to Trottman [1] dye stuffs give colour to the material onto which they have been anchored, by selectively retaining some of the wavelengths out of the light falling upon the surface. If a dye absorbs strongly at the red end of the spectrum the light that is reflected will be of a bluish hue. Only a limited number of organic molecules possess this property of absorbing light selectively. Ever since about 1860 intense interest has been displayed in investigations to discover which aspects of .....ReadMore
