2019 organizing committee of Shanghai International Textile Graduate Summer School, Writing: Jiaying Xu Translation: Can Gao

On July 7, 2019, the fourth day of the 2019 Shanghai International Textile Graduate Summer School, students continued to embrace the new day with full enthusiasm. Today, Professor Tushar K. Ghosh and Professor Yingjiao Xu from North Carolina State University, Professor Qingqing Ni from Shinshu University, and Professor Jinsong Shen from De Montfort University in the UK led the students to explore the mysteries of the textile world.

Professor Tushar K. Ghosh brought his second lesson, which described the structural properties of soft and swellable materials, their applications in aviation and industry, and the design methods of these products, which gave us a clearer understanding of the application of textiles. After that, Professor Qingqing Ni mainly talked about the buckling vibration of the material structure from macro to nano. Cumbersome mathematical theory analysis and physical modeling could not resist the students' pursuit for knowledge.

In the afternoon, Professor Jinsong Shen introduced the magical sol-gel technology to the students. The gel process has a variety of functions to improve the hydrophobicity, UV resistance, abrasion resistance, and antibacterial properties of knitted cotton fabrics, and to keep the fabric feel soft. The combination of enzyme and sol-gel technology for wool can improve the shrink-proof properties of wool fabrics and weave lightweight and soft wool fabrics. This novel technology has aroused great interest among the students and the students asked lots of questions. Professor Yingjiao Xu brought the fourth lesson of the summer school - SWOT analysis. The students were full of reluctance and listened carefully. After that, the professor asked the students to discuss in groups and use the SWOT model to analyze the brand. Everyone actively participated and took the initiative to share their team work. The atmosphere was active.
