However, materials always have advantages and disadvantages. Although the medicinal value of wormwood is high, the characteristics of wormwood, such as short, flammable and smelly, and technical reasons limit the field of product development. With the development of science and technology, there are more and more scientific patents about wormwood. People extract essential oil from wormwood and invent multifunctional wormwood fibers, fabrics and fillers. Based on the study of wormwood and its new materials, this paper starts from the aspects of use function, use environment and disposal after waste, and makes it more diversified in the design of clothing products according to the characteristics of new materials. Generally, it is designed and applied from three aspects: clothing underwear, outerwear and clothing accessories:
1. Application of wormwood and new wormwood materials in underwear
The application of wormwood in underwear was earlier. Taking moxa navel as an example, adding moxa layer to the inner layer plays a health care role in the chest and abdomen. The design and manufacture of the navel of moxa stick are relatively simple. Just prepare cotton cloth and moxa, fill it with cotton cloth and sew it with the outer layer. It can be sewn at Shenque point (navel). According to the theory of "external treatment of internal diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine, the drug effect is absorbed through the skin, thus achieving the effect of health care and strengthening the body. Because of its strong smell, it is mainly used in children and women's homes.
The wormwood composite fiber prepared by patented technology is that the stems and leaves of wormwood are ground into powder and mixed with common chemical polymer materials to form spinning dope. The woven fabric has good moisture absorption, air permeability, softness and drapability. The new textile made of wormwood material overcomes the limitations of short wool and strong smell of raw materials, and is suitable for underwear design, especially for ladies' underwear. In addition to antibacterial, it can also promote blood circulation and play a role in beauty and weight loss.
2. Application of wormwood and new wormwood materials in outerwear.
In the market research, it is found that there are few coats of wormwood, and the styles are simple and outdated. This requires designers to explore the design method based on the application of wormwood in outerwear by observing and studying wormwood materials, aiming at the material characteristics of wormwood and drawing lessons from the technology and design methods of other textile products. The wormwood mattress consists of a mattress cover and a mattress body in the mattress cover. The mattress body layer is usually made of cotton and moxa in proportion and quilted. When in use, just spread a thin layer on it, and the wormwood pad can be dried without washing. Referring to the technology and design of wormwood mattress, a detachable wormwood liner can be designed inside the jacket, and the liner is fixed by cross quilting. According to the use, the thickness of the coat, cotton and wormwood are sewn in the wormwood liner according to a certain clothing style, size, thickness and volume. It can increase good health care function on the basis of ensuring the fashion of coat style.
The new material of wormwood not only has many patents on fabrics and fillers, but also the technical breakthrough is more convenient to expand the design of coat categories. The functional wormwood fiber fabric and antibacterial health filler with wormwood as the main raw material can be directly used to design coats including down jackets, and can also be used in combination with other materials. This kind of clothing is beneficial to human health and plays a health care role. Waste clothes can also be used as textile materials to transform old things, still play its health care role, and are healthy and environmentally friendly.
3. Application of wormwood and new wormwood materials in garment accessories
Wormwood has been used to repel mosquitoes and evil spirits since ancient times. Traditional sachets in China are mostly made of silk, which contains wormwood and other spices. As a traditional ornament and clothing accessory of Dragon Boat Festival, it was selected in 2008? [1] The list of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage expansion projects is often regarded as the classic accessories of Hanfu Han people.
With the innovation of new materials of wormwood, the types of wormwood garment accessories are more and more abundant and effective. Fujian Zhuang invented a patent for a utility model of wormwood, which can be used as a binding belt for wormwood health care and body shaping. A foaming layer of wormwood nanocapsules is arranged on the inner side of the abdominal belt. The use of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion and traditional essential oil aromatherapy has the functions of promoting blood circulation, dredging menstruation, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold, and has a positive effect on women's postpartum recovery. This technology can be used in the design of clothing accessories such as belts, which makes the accessories both decorative and functional.
