Thermal comfort properties are very important factors for knitted fabrics. Optimized demanding during the design of garments, especially sportswear, outerwear and underwear. Knitted fabrics produced from regenerated fibers other than cotton highly preferred due to their eco-friendly, environmentally friendly superior performance properties. In this study, woven were investigated. single jersey ...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) loaded on the cotton fiber can endow with good antibacterial activity, but AgNPs surface of will leach out increase washing times, which not only greatly reduce properties fiber, also cause pollution to environment. In this paper, carboxyl groups were introduced into by three methods, namely selective oxidation, butane tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) grafting and polyac...

Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense) is widely cultivated because of its long, strong seed trichomes ('fibers') used for premium textiles. These agronomically advanced fibers were derived following domestication and thousands of years of human-mediated crop improvement. To gain an insight into fiber development and evolution, we conducted comparative proteomic and transcriptomic profiling of deve...

Cotton is one of the most important crops for its natural textile fibers in the world. However, it often suffered from drought stress during its growth and development, resulting in a drastic reduction in cotton productivity. Therefore, study on molecular mechanism of cotton drought-tolerance is very important for increasing cotton production. To investigate molecular mechanism of cotton drough...

Cotton is the most important natural fiber source for the textile industry world-wide. It is also an alternative of the man-made petroleum-based “synthetic fibers” providing an advantage for a sustainable environment. Cotton is formed by developing seed of several Gossypium species, which are mainly grown as an important cash crop in more than 70 countries including USA, India, China and Uzbeki...

We report on the successful functionalization of cotton fabrics with a water-stable metal-organic framework (MOF), UiO-66, under mild solvothermal conditions (80 °C) and its ability to adsorb and degrade water micropollutants. The functionalized cotton samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmiss...
