SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF TREATMENTS ON WATER ABSORPTION CAPACITY IN A SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE FINISHING

Summary/Abstract: In the context of globalization and environmental issues worldwide, sustainability has become a crucial concept for maintaining life and natural resources on the planet. Sustainability is an extremely important concept, especially among researchers, representing a constant concern in the textile industry. Worldwide, sustainability is an important concern and priority, both for the conservation of the planet and for the healthy development of society. The experimental research in this paper is part of the field of sustainable textile finishing. These were achieved by applying ecological treatments on linen and hemp fabrics, at ambient temperature between 23-25°C, and the effect of incubation time was studied for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h, 120 h. The experimental study aimed at both the influence of treatment on the water absorption capacity of the textile substrate in the absence of enzyme, and the influence of treatment in the presence of enzyme. In order to store the results and experimental information obtained for the use thereof by students and PhD students in the field, the paper proposes the development of a software system consisting of a MySQL online database server and a desktop application running on a Windows operating system, created on the .NET platform, using the C # programming language. The software application has an open structure with the possibility to extend the information and add other data. The information used is the result of experimental research regarding the influence of finishing treatments on the water absorption capacity of linen and hemp fabrics in the following situations: both in the absence of enzyme, by means of treatments with buffer solution, respectively treatments with buffer solution and non-ionic surfactant, as well as in the presence of enzyme, by treatments with buffer solution and enzyme, respectively treatments with enzyme and non-ionic surfactant. Following the experimental research, a comparative analysis can be made between the results obtained after the application of treatments in the absence of enzyme and the application of treatments in the presence of enzyme. The results obtained will appear in the “data” table in order to facilitate the observation and interpretation of data by users. The software system presented in this paper was created in order to be used as an e-learning tool in laboratory in teaching- learning activities by students and PhD students from the Faculty of Industrial Design and Business Management from “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi. This software system is a very useful tool that can be used by students in obtaining sustainable fabrics, which are essential in creating and developing ecological and sustainable textile products.
