Two Robust Fuzzy Regression Models and Their Applications in Predicting Imperfections of Cotton Yarn

Antifungal Textiles Formed Using Silver Deposition in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The antifungal properties of two silver-coated natural cotton fiber structures prepared using a supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) solvent were examined. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the scCO2 process may be used to produce cotton fiber textiles with uniform silver nanoparticle coatings. A version of the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test was used to assess the ability of these te...

Bacterial Exchange in Household Washing Machines

Household washing machines (WMs) launder soiled clothes and textiles, but do not sterilize them. We investigated the microbial exchange occurring in five household WMs. Samples from a new cotton T-shirt were laundered together with a normal laundry load.
