In recent years, the interest in reusing recycled fibers as building materials has been growing a consequence of their ability to reduce production waste and use virgin resources, taking advantage potential that fibrous may offer improve thermal acoustic comfort. Composite panels, made 100% wool bound by means either chitosan solution gum Arabic solution, were tested characterized terms non-acoustic properties. Samples with 5 cm thickness different density values investigate influence flow...
The innovative integration of phase change materials (PCMs) into textiles through microencapsulation presents a transformative approach to developing thermally regulated fabrics. This study explores the synthesis and characterization microcapsules containing coconut oil core an ethylcellulose shell, their application on cotton fabrics coated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers. dual-layer system involving nanofibers is designed enhance thermal insulation properties by regulating heat...
The presence of microcapsules has increased in the textile field. They have been applied as a possible means introducing new products to textiles, such fragrances, antibiotics, skin hydrants, etc. This work studied influence resin on adhesion cotton fabrics. To paste fabrics, they should be contact with bath which contains microcapsules, and water. Different concentrations were fragrance microcapsule by impregnation. research focuses determining quantity resistance washing out fabrics during...
Turmeric has been widely studied as a color indicator for pH variations due to its halochromic properties. It tested in solution or included some polymeric matrices. Some studies have demonstrated that change is the tautomeric species of curcumin, and this property can be observed even if turmeric assimilated film nanofiber. Chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymers previous studies. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers are used potential carriers drugs once they insolubilized. The aim work...
Nature, including the oceans, is polluted by presence of plastics. Different products can be found, plastic bottles, toys, toothpaste tubes, fruit meshes, etc. Small pieces plastics, known as microplastics, have been found in oceans and there concern that their impact increasing. Some those microplastics are considered to come from textile products. In this article, authors will suggest how minimize environmental problem wastewaters laundries. The aim study determine influence some...
3D woven structures provide attractive features for use as composite reinforcements, such the ability to tailor their performance by altering structural parameters. This paper reports on experimental studies structure and mechanical properties of two important types structure, multi-layer angle-interlock it demonstrates some relations between parameters properties.
Natural dyes, obtained from plants, insects/animals, and minerals, are renewable sustainable bioresource products with minimum environmental impact. However, there still many issues to solve related natural dyes; consequently, synthetic dyes wildly used. have a low affinity towards the substrate cotton, so solution had be found: mordants. Mordants can also harmful environment, which is why bio-mordants The mordant used in this paper chitosan. Cotton pre-mordanted using pad dyeing method. By...
Microcapsules can be added to fabric in industrial processes; however, they have not been widely spread among companies. In this study, we suggest the possibility of reloading microcapsules onto a while clothes are washed. The effectiveness different resins when applied washing machine during domestic laundry process has studied. containing lavender fragrance and melamine formaldehyde shell were adhered by means one acrylic acid as resin (RES) or some cross-linking agents, such...
Knife-coating can confer new properties on different textile substrates efficiently by integrating various compounds into the coating paste. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) is one of most used elements for functionalization fabrics in recent years, providing electrical and thermal conductivity to fabrics, later develop products such as sensors or heated garments. This paper reports thermoelectrically conductive textiles fabrication through knife-coating cellulosic with a GNP load from 0.4 2 wt%...
Problems such as the depletion of natural resources and increase in environmental pollution brought about by industrialization, concept recycling gained great importance. Natural dyes have importance again with awareness. For this purpose, dyeability recycled cotton yarns was examined order to both protect reduce waste water load dyeing. The paper also discussed a comparison between different ways mordant molecular weight chitosan. Although it seen FTIR analysis that fibers were dyed,...
A bstract: Improving the environmental impact of textile waste is essential for good functioning planet, as it not viable to prolong recycling materials indefinitely due loss properties. The presence dyes in fabrics a key point study from perspective biodegradability, these effluents widely studied their high polluting on water. This project has analysed whether affects biodegradability process. In addition, been finishing with laccase enzyme, which usually used purify wastewater indigo blue...
The influence of solution composition is directly related to the properties polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers. Electrospinning a viable technique develop PVA presence crosslinking agent such as glyoxal can produce variations not only in anti-water solubility effect, but also morphology electrodeposited fibers. objective this study was characterize on Thus, we studied fiber dimensions, weight deposited fibers, and crystallinity. relation between those nanofiber web (color, opacity,...
Textile effluents are among the most polluting industrial in world. finishing processes, especially dyeing, discharge large quantities of waste that is difficult to treat, such as dyes. By recovering this material from water, addition cleaning and possibility reusing there opportunity reuse a raw for dyeing different textile substrates. One lines use hybrid nanoclays obtained adsorption dyes, which allow dye baths be made This study analyses how, through nanoadsorbent hydrotalcite, dyes...
Electrospinning makes it possible to obtain solid fibers, in addition core-shell using coextrusion. However, an exhaustive control of parameters allows the fibers from emulsion electrospinning be obtained. The solvent outer surface tends evaporate and polymer density increases, moving drops towards center, which turn promotes coalescence, thus creating core. aim this work was avoid coalescence a net nanofibers entrapping oil microcapsules. We obtained water (O/W), with polyvinyl alcohol (W)...
A fibrous material is characterized by its fineness, flexibility and high length/fineness ratio it used to reduce noise in indoor rooms due their porous structure. The aim of this work focused on investigating the structure two different fibers (acrylic polyester) from analysis macrostructural parameters, such as length cross-section (solid or hollow). Furthermore, degree influence these parameters average sound absorption has been investigated. coefficient measured at normal incidence...
The hydrophilicity of fibers is directly related to the comfort a fabric and represents one most important aspects textile. Therefore, polyester (PES) modification has focused on an increase in moisture content subsequent improvement user’s experience. Based glycerol hygroscopic properties, main objective been enhancement by treatments. Furthermore, microwave irradiation alkaline treatment have applied, order adhesion. Treated PES samples were characterized performing content, negative ion,...
