Abstract Recycling of textiles is importance due to the large amount waste generated from increasing consumption and use worldwide. Cotton-rich pre-consumer are considered as potential raw material for production man-made regenerated fibres, but demands purification blends with synthetic fibres well dyes finishing chemicals. In this study we explore different pre-treatments meet specific parame...

There are at least 1000 types of plant that bear usable fibers [1]. Natural plant fibres are easily obtained in many tropical parts and are available throughout the world. Today these fibres are considered as environment friendly materials owing to their biodegradability and renewable properties [2]. Natural fibres have applications in fields of textile, paper manufacturing, and bioenergy indus...

At the beginning of 21st century, micro-nano processing technology has developed rapidly, and research on wearable electronic devices exploded. In particular, flexible thermoelectric materials generators (TEGs) that have stretchable or foldable properties been widely studied. Textile-based are more suitable for use human body than film block types devices, they accordingly favoured smart device...

Abstract The identification of textile fibres from cultural property provides information about the object's technology. Today, microscopic examination remains preferred method, and molecular spectroscopies (e.g. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) Raman spectroscopies) can complement it but may present some limitations. To avoid sampling, non-invasive fibre optics reflectance spectroscopy (FORS)...

This paper presents the limitations and potential of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy applied to study cellulosic textile collections The technique helps differentiate natural fibres according content lignin, pectin, hemicellulose, wax, although some problematic issues should be considered. spectral differences derived from environmental humidity uptake plant composition are reviewed discussed in light ne...

BACKGROUND Universal coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LNs) made from polyester or polyethylene fibres has been adopted as the standard of care to control malaria among at-risk populations. To obtain a WHO recommendation, LNs must undergo prospective monitoring of insecticidal efficacy against mosquito vectors over 3 years of household use. The retention of bioefficacy and physical du...

Abstract In the current research, waste from woollen yarn production was analysed. Woollen as raw material used for of soft thermal insulation mats. Two types mats were produced in a textile plant: thermally untreated and treated. Properties such fibre composition, structure, conductivity treated studied. During composition analysis waste, quantity long, medium length, short fibres determined. ...

Microscopic animal and plant fibres detected in archaeological contexts are a valuable source of information regarding textile production, use-histories artefacts studying mortuary practices. At the same time, recent research on microplastic pollution has revealed ability to move even long distances accumulate various terrestrial aquatic contexts. In this paper we discuss accumulation 100–1000-...
