- ItemPERCOLATION-GOVERNED FORMATION OF CONDUCTIVE NETWORKS IN POLYANILINE-FUNCTIONALIZED TEXTILE COMPOSITES(2026) REDKO, YANA; HUDZENKO, NATALIIAConductive polyaniline (PANI)-based textiles are developed using a heterocoagulation-controlled deposition mechanism. In contrast to conventional in situ polymerization, this approach exploits the interaction between oppositely charged PANI particles and textile substrates to form specialized percolation networks. Polyamide substrates form highly interconnected networks with excellent conductivity, while cotton nonwovens exhibit less regular pathways. The heterocoagulation approach allows for fine-tuning of the layer structure, lowers the percolation threshold, achieves high conductivity while maintaining textile flexibility, and enhances durability against washing, dry, and wet rubbing. This methodology presents a systematic approach for controlling the structure–property–percolation relationship in conductive textiles, enabling potential applications in sensors, antistatic fabrics, and flexible electronics.
- ItemMILITARY FABRICS MADE OF HEMP FIBERS(2026) RASTORHUIEVA, Mariia; BOIKO, Halyna; YEVTUSHENKO, Valentyna; ARTEMENKO, MariiaThe relevance of this research is determined by the necessity to replace the existing camouflage fabrics on the Ukrainian market, which are made with synthetic fibers for military clothing, with eco-friendly fabrics produced from natural raw materials – hemp fiber. The aim was to analyze the qualitative properties of mixed hemp fabrics developed by scientists of Kherson National Technical University and to determine their potential use in military uniforms. Comprehensive methods of analysis, synthesis, observation, measurement, comparison, and generalization of results were applied, as well as standard methodologies widely used in the light industry. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the current state of the global protective and military textile market. Samples of existing camouflage fabrics for military uniforms and equipment were examined, and results of testing new hemp fiber-based fabrics were presented. Physico-mechanical, aesthetic, and operational tests demonstrated that hemp-based materials surpass most existing analogs in their qualitative characteristics. The introduction of hemp fabrics into military textile production may ensure increased reliability, functionality, and environmental safety of defense products.
