AB  - Mankind's need to protect itself from various dangers, cold, heat and other natural phenomena have survived from the
first days of its existence to the present day. Materials with high visibility have also been developed primarily with the
need for protection. These materials are widely used on bicycle wheels, road signs and traffic signs in daily life. Materials
used in various textile products such as activewear, sportswear, children's clothing, accessories, hats, uniforms, foot and
armbands, and backpacks make life easier by providing safety for the people who walk with their pets, as well as road
workers, traffic policemen, firefighters, pedestrians and bicycle riders people who do sports and walking at night due to
their busy life.
Many of the traffic accidents occurring today are due to the inability to notice individuals moving on the side of the road.
In conditions where the lighting is not sufficient, the reflective feature of the clothes worn will allow people to be noticed
more easily. Reflective tapes are used to add reflective properties to clothes. However, these tapes may lose their
reflective properties as a result of the various effects they are exposed to. A performance loss that may occur in reflective
tape properties due to these effects will put the wearer's life at risk. For this reason, in this study, the changes in the
reflective properties of retroreflective tapes after various effects were investigated.
