Ph.D. Textile and Polymer Science, Clemson University, June, 1979
M.S. Home Economics, Textile Science, University of Maryland, December, 1973
B.S. Home Economics, Textiles, University of Illinois, June, 1971
Dr. Jakes' research encompasses the study of historic and archaeological textiles and their environment to learn about their composition and structure and the degradation they have undergone, as well as the study of modern textiles to characterize their present condition and predict their performance throughout the lifecycle. Multiple methods of instrumental analysis, laboratory preparation of comparative materials, and the construction of databases of identifying characteristics are included in the research.
Current Specific Research Investigations
Compilation of Evidence for Textile Manufacture and Dyeing Technology from Multiple Correlates.
Compilation of the Features of Fiber Degradation
Characterization of fiber chemistry and structure obtained from optical and scanning electron microscopy, x-ray microanalysis, infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis.
