Textiles for outdo...

24 Nanoscale ceramic surface modification of textiles by atomic layer deposition R ecent opportunities to merge traditional inorganic materials processing with organic fibrous textiles are creating new possibilities in electrical, optical and mechanical applications for textiles. Textiles are made of low-cost natural or synthetic fibers and have unique flexibility, strength and durability with ...

Textiles made of blended cotton/polyester fibers have a huge share the markets nowadays. The desirable properties these blends them popular choice for both producers and consumers. However, at end life, this textile waste is often being disposed in landfills many parts world, since are hard to be fractionated and/or separated from each other sorted according their type, which hinders recyclabil...

:-Ieas urements were made of the adsorption of nit rogen and water vapor on six purified text ile fibe rs and t itaniu m dioxide. It was found that all of t he fi bers had a relatiYely low capa city for the adsorption of nitrogen as compared with t h c capacity for t h e adsorption of ,,'ater vapor. T he surface area values ranged from 0,31 sq uare meter per gram for nylon to 0.98 square meter ...

Textile fiber provides an excellent environment for promoting the growth and multiplication of various microbes [1]. The growth of the microbes on the fabrics results in a range of undesirable effects such as unpleasant odor, stains, reduction in strength of fabric and, moreover, affects the health of the wearer. These are main reasons why it is highly desirable to minimize the growth during th...
