The aim of this study was to highlight the possibility using recycled wool-based nonwoven material as a sorbent in an oil spill cleanup. This sorbed higher amounts base SN 150 than diesel or crude from surface demineralized artificial seawater bath. Superficial modification with biopolymer chitosan and low-temperature air plasma led slight decrease sorption capacity. Loose fibers same origin have significantly capacities investigated material. White light scanning interferometry analysis...
Abstract The possibility of using a corona treatment (electrical discharge at atmospheric pressure) for fiber surface activation, which can facilitate the loading silver nanoparticles (NPs) from colloids onto polyester (PES) and polyamide (PA) fabrics thus improve their antibacterial properties, was studied. Bactericidal efficiency its laundering durability on silver‐loaded Gram‐positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus Gram‐negative Escherichia coli were evaluated. morphology after...
Creating multifunctional textiles using chemicals from renewable sources is challenging. In an effort to develop a sustainable and efficient cotton treatment, lignin-based multilayer nanocoating comprising magnesium lignosulfonate, chitosan, monoammonium phosphate (MAP) was deposited layer-by-layer assembly. A five bilayer coating adds 15.5 wt % imparts fire extinguishing behavior excellent UV antimicrobial protection the fabric. Just two sufficient self-extinguishing pass standard vertical...
The potential application of low-temperature radio frequency (RF) plasma for fiber surface activation in order to enhance the binding efficiency colloidal silver nanoparticles onto polyester fabrics and improve stability antibacterial effects was studied. Antibacterial activity laundering durability were tested against gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. Plasma treatment positively affected loading as well these textile nanocomposite materials. In...
Blended nylon-cotton (NYCO) fabric is frequently used due to its unique combination of comfort and strength, but it suffers from high flammability. Flame-retardant NYCO created by applying a simple...
Abstract The utilization of disposable face masks is an essential approach to mitigate the transmission microorganisms. Composed mainly polypropylene (PP) nonwoven material, these do not exhibit any antimicrobial properties. This study examines feasibility employing Ag‐based nanoparticles (NPs) as agent. To activate chemically inert PP samples, corona discharge was applied at atmospheric pressure. Subsequently, a sol‐gel coating with (3‐aminopropyl) triethoxysilane performed, which...
