Intelligent fibre is a kind of fibre that integrates sensing and information processing. It is similar to biological materialsand has intelligent functions such as self-perception, self-adaptation, self-diagnosis, and self-repair. Intelligent textilesrefer to textiles that have sensing and responding functions to the environment. Intelligent fibres and their textiles notonly have the ability to perceive and respond to external stimuli but also have the ability to adapt to the externalenvironment. In recent years, the research on intelligent fibres has achieved many results in the world, and it is widelyused in textiles and clothing industry. Therefore, this paper summarized the research status of intelligent fibre andintelligent textile worldwide, and put forward the research direction in the future. This paper introduced the propertiesand research status of five kinds of main intelligent fibres, including phase change fibre, shape memory fibre, smarthydrogel fibre, optical fibre and electronic intelligent fibre, and summarized their application in textiles. This paper alsointroduced the research status of five important intelligent textiles, including intelligent temperature control textile, shapememory textiles, waterproof and moisture permeable textile, intelligent antibacterial textile and electronic intelligenttextile. Moreover, it forecasted the development prospects of intelligent fibres and textiles, and pointed out developmentdirection in three aspects of performance optimization, green and safety, industrialization. It provided research referenceand guidance for future intelligent fibre and intelligent textile.

Road Friction Coefficient

Background: The development of the tire/road friction coefficient measurement and estimation system has far-reaching significance for the active electronic control safety system of automobiles and is one of the core technologies for autonomous driving in the future. Objective: Estimating the road friction coefficient accurately and in real-time has become the leading research direction. Researchers have used different tools and proposed different algorithms and patents. These methods are widely used to estimate the road friction coefficient or other related parameters. This paper gives a comprehensive description of the research status in the field of road friction coefficient estimation. Method: According to the current research status of Chinese and foreign scholars in the field of road friction coefficient recognition, the recognition methods are mainly divided into two categories: Cause-based and Effect-based. Results: This literature review will discuss the existing two types of identification methods (Cause-based and Effect-based), and the applicable characteristics of each algorithm are analyzed. Conclusion: The two recognition methods are analyzed synthetically, and the development direction of road friction coefficient recognition technology is discussed.

Textiles And Clothing

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how sustainable solutions in the textiles and clothing industry are decided through business-to-business collaboration. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative and inductive study of the Brazilian textiles and clothing industry is carried out, an industry in which sustainable denim products are increasingly being recognized as subject to competition. The paper adopts a focal net perspective to understand the collaborative arrangements through which firms combine the products they offer as a sustainable solution. Documentary data were collected and in-depth interviews conducted with the top managers of one of the world’s largest denim-manufacturing companies present in the Brazilian market, which is involved in providing sustainable solutions in cooperation with its partners. Findings The authors describe the factors that reflect the conditions for generating a sustainable business performance, including a corporate policy that assumes and articulates the responsibility for social interest, core-business stakeholders and regulatory requirements; a sustainable product-service system (S.PSS) based on innovative interactions between the stakeholders in the value production system; relations between stakeholders that promote business sustainability through a dependable value chain characterized by a sense of collaboration and collective actions; and a business model for sustainability that combines economic with social and ecological value creation. These factors help a business establish a more strategic position in the value network, enabling it to capture more value. Practical implications Sustainable solutions are developed dynamically and collaboratively within an S.PPS. Managers need to focus not only on tangible products but also on intangible services designed and combined so that they are jointly capable of fulfilling customer’s needs and creating social and ecological value. Managers within the solution provider must develop business models for sustainability that are continually evolving to satisfy the interest in resource-efficiency by actors in civil society, business and government. Originality/value The research contributes to the existing literature by applying approaches involving corporate social responsibility (CSR) and strategic nets to the study of the implementation of an S.PSS. Sustainable initiatives and offers developed by an S.PSS are not isolated phenomena but result from collaboration in finding solutions among different actors linked in a strategic net. In this sense, companies need to adjust their business models for sustainability to generate positive economic, social and ecological value and gain credibility for their missions.

Global Population

In recent years, there has been an increase in the production of textiles and clothing, which is the result of an increase in the global population and an improvement in living standards. The consequence of this fact is the unlimited use of resources for the needs of the production process of textiles and clothing, as well as an increase in the amount of generated textile waste, which is currently not treated adequately. For the textile industry to have a chance in the future to take advantage of environmental, economic and social opportunities that it is currently unable to do, it is necessary to transform the current, linear system into a circular system. The paper presents the possibility of implementing the basic principles of the circular economy in the textile and clothing industry. According to the principles of the circular economy, the textile industry is based on the realization of four activities: elimination of unwanted substances and release (emission) of microfibers, increasing the utilization of clothing, improving the recycling sector, efficient use of resources and switching to renewable sources.
