![]() The subsequent reflective effects captured in a darkroom show the retro-reflective ability of the samples. ![]() In this research work, a new approach is adopted by using a design process that combines jacquard weaving technology, reflective threads and African design patterns to produce retro-reflective textiles. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research and the synthesis of reflective yarns and African design patterns (due to its symbolic value for the African people) to create effective textiles that have the necessary properties for visibility at night. Most of these materials are applied as stripes on clothing, but can also extend to artisans using reflective yarns in their creations. This has challenged different manufacturers to produce effective materials that provide the best retro-reflection. ![]() ![]() Retro-reflective materials are important for safety purposes, such as enhancing the visibility of pedestrians at night when they wear garments with reflective materials and therefore reducing pedestrian fatalities.
