The ability to accurately and rapidly count SCFs is important to efficient quality control and for research into improved cotton wet processing. Innovative scouring/bleaching using N-[4-(triethylammoniomethyl)benzoyl]butyrolactam chloride (TBBC) under neutral conditions produces satisfactory whiteness, but inferior performance in SCF removal. In this study, an image-based program was developed to quantitatively analyze SCFs based on their appearance on bleached cotton fabrics. With optimized thresholds, the program was capable of counting SCFs in fabric images semi-automatically, with a diagnostic sensitivity of 94.7% and an accuracy of 94.1%. Compared to the conventional method, image-based counting gave high accuracy and sensitivity.}, number={1}, journal={AATCC JOURNAL OF RESEARCH}, author={Li, Min and Fang, Gang and Xu, Changhai and Hinks, David}, year={2016} }

Schum. Analysis of the designed experiment revealed that extraction at a plant/water ratio of 1:20 could reach an optimal production of natural dyes when extraction was performed at 80 °C, for 4 h, under 20 min ultrasound, in the presence of 10 g/l sodium hydroxide, and with two extractions. The extracted natural dyes were applied to the dyeing of silk fabrics using different methods, including or excluding a mordant. It was found that mordants had a significant effect on the colour of dyed silk fabrics. The silk fabric dyed with the pre‐mordant method using potassium aluminium sulphate as a mordant showed a bright yellow with a higher colour strength. The optimal dyeing conditions were reached when the extracted natural dyes were pre‐mordanted with 10 g/l potassium aluminium sulphate at pH 6, and for a 20 min dyeing time.}, number={1}, journal={COLORATION TECHNOLOGY}, author={Wang, Chunxia and Xu, Changhai and Tian, Anli and Fu, Shaohai and Wang, Chaoxia}, year={2013}, month={Feb}, pages={32–38} }

Pigment blue 15:3 dispersion has been developed through emulsion polymerization approach by a polymerizable dispersant. The encapsulation process involves three steps: predispersing C.I. Pigment blue 15:3 using allyloxy nonyl-phenoxypropanolpolyoxyethyleneetherammonium sulfonate (ANPS) as dispersant and emulsifer, emulsifying with the addition of comonomers, and polymerizing comonomer and ANPS. The character of polymer-encapsulated pigment has been examined in detail using dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and contact angle analysis (CAA). Results indicate that a polymer encapsulation layer is formed on the surface of pigment and the thickness of the encapsulation layer can be modulated by changing the amount and the structure of comonomer. The polymer-encapsulated pigment dispersion has enhanced stabilities to centrifugal force, temperature, pH value and electrolytes.}, number={1-3}, journal={COLLOIDS AND SURFACES A-PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND ENGINEERING ASPECTS}, author={Fu, Shaohai and Xu, Changhai and Du, Changsen and Tian, Anli and Zhang, Mingjun}, year={2011}, month={Jul}, pages={68–74} }
