Textile
Engineering graduate student Yan Liu’s article, “Scent Infused Textiles
to Enhance Consumer Experiences,” was recently published in the Journal
of Industrial Textiles (37[3]: 263-274), a publication that disseminates
information and enhances knowledge of the technical textiles and
industrial textile industry. Liu’s article discusses her investigation
of how to create long-lasting, fragrance-infused fabrics and products
that are consistent in quality. For the piece, she worked with Fernando Tovia, associate professor of Engineering; John Pierce, associate
professor of Psychology; doctoral student Karthikeyan Balasubramian ’10,
Textile Engineering and Science; and Jeff Dugan, Fiber Innovation
Technology, Inc. Liu’s article is complemented by two others published
in 2008, which she was advised on by Prof. Yiping Qiu of Donghua
University in China: “Influence of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment time on
penetration depth of surface modification into fabric,” Applied Surface
Science (254[8]: 2499-2505), and “Effect of Absorbed Moisture on the
Atmospheric Plasma Etching of Polyamide Fibers, Surface & Coatings
Technology (202[10]: 1966-1974).
