There is growing interest in the area of conductive textiles in the scientific and industrial community. Herein, we successfully prepared a conductive textile via covalently grafting polyaniline (PANI) onto cotton by a multi-step treatment process. The conductivity of the resultant fabric could be tuned by immersing in water having different pH values. The conductive and insulating properties o...

This study attempted to introduce the bio-processes in the conventional scouring and bleaching preparation of cotton. The scouring with two types of pectinases, acting under acidic and alkaline conditions respectively, was as efficient as the chemical process in terms of obtained adequate water absorbency of the fabrics. The necessity of surfactants application in scouring was outlined. Bleachi...

Thirdhand smoke (THS) refers to components of secondhand smoke that stick to indoor surfaces and persist in the environment. Little is known about exposure levels and possible remediation measures to reduce potential exposure in contaminated areas. This study deals with the effect of aging on THS components and evaluates possible exposure levels and remediation measures. We investigated the con...

Cotton fabrics are popular for their excellent properties, but property of creasing easily largely limits the wide application cotton fabrics. In this paper, an organosilicon resin emulsion containing disulfide bonds was prepared with epoxy-terminated silicone oil and 4,4-diaminodiphenyl (AFD) as raw materials, it used a finishing agent elastic The effects material ratio on properties polymer f...

This paper aims at updating the progress on the phosphorus-based flame retardants specifically designed and developed for fibers and fabrics (particularly referring to cotton, polyester and their blends) over the last five years. Indeed, as clearly depicted by Horrocks in a recent review, the world of flame retardants for textiles is still experiencing some changes that are focused on topics li...

The pilling characteristics of commercially available polyester/cotton blended fabrics in the grey and finished conditions as well as of those produced in the laboratory under controlled conditions have been investigated. The structure of pills and the nature of fibres that go into pill formation in various types offabrics have been examined microscopically and the influence of various fibre, y...

This paper discusses the influence of core sheath ratio, twist and loop length on moisture management properties cotton/polyester spun knitted fabrics. Box behnken, a three level- variable factorial design was used to study interactive effects dependent variables. Fifteen single jersey fabrics were according statistical run tested for physical properties. Increase in polyester percent increases...

Cotton fiber, which is the most widely used natural fiber in textile and paper industries, has a crucial environmental impact. Cultivation of conventional cotton consumes lot water requires usage higher amount pesticides. Organic more environmentally friendly alternative to its growing conditions. The characteristics change with differences In this study, properties yarns obtained from both con...

The study investigated how certain design parameters affect the permeability properties of jacquard fabrics. Six woven samples were made on same cotton warp and with loom setting. fabrics from two different types weft yarns (cotton Lyocell Clima), in pattern sizes (with larger smaller monochrome areas), groups double twill weaves (self-stitched cloth, interchanging cloth). We proved importance ...

Viable microbial cells distributed in a 130 microim thick surface layer of cotton fabrics were stained with a fluorescent glucose, 2- [N- (7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) amino] -2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-NBDG), and automatically mapped with an ultra-deep focusing range microscope (UDF) system. The software of the UDF system was upgraded and the number of Candida albicans cells could be counted a...
