In this study, influence of nano-zinc oxide treatment on the UV protection properties widely used apparel fabrics including flax, polyester, and nylon, were investigated by means ultraviolet factor (UPF) assessment. Nanoparticle content nylon determined to be 1.2, 0.9, 1.5 wt%, respectively. The UPFs non-treated in range 2.2 entire region. An improvement UPF was obtained after introducing nanop...

Instrument Type Detection Umit (mg/L) Introduction Because of the difficulty and cost of treating certain types of wastes, pollution prevention has become an important method of environmental protection for the textile industry.'* Extensive attention has been focused on the selection and use of chemical specialties and their role in pollution prevent i ~ n . ~ ~ Proper raw material selection, p...

In this paper, a method to develop embroidered textile strain resistive sensors is presented. The based on two overlapped zigzag conductive yarn patterns in an elastic textile. To demonstrate the functionality of proposed configuration, sensor with conductor composed 99% pure silver-plated nylon 140/17 dtex has been experimentally characterised for elongation range from 0% 65%. order show appli...

Polyamide matrices, such as membranes, gels and non-wovens, have been applied as supports for enzyme immobilization, although in literature he enzyme immobilization on woven nylon matrices is rarely reported. In this work, a protocol for a Trametes hirsuta laccase immobilization sing woven polyamide 6,6 (nylon) was developed. A 24 full factorial design was used to study the influence of pH, spa...

Nanosilver applications have been implicated in paint, plastic, textile and medical industries. Nanosilver particles absorb sweat and in turn avoid pungent smell of feet. The present study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of Ag-coated different sock fabrics and comparing their efficacy in reducing foot-borne resident bacteria. Synthesize of nanosilver particles was performed in vari...

ANY MATERIAL COMPOSED OF FIBRES IS A TEXTILE, AND THIS DEFINITION covers an extremely wide range of products in everyday use. Worldwide, over 35 million tonnes of textile fibre is consumed annually, ending up not only as clothing, upholstery, bed linen and carpets, but also in such items as ropes, seat belts, nets, road stabilisation mats, drainage pipes and tents. It is not surprising that, wh...

Hydrophobic and oleophobic resistant coatings are realized on nylon cotton textiles by plasma induced polymerization of modified pyrrole monomers. This process creates a chemical bond between the polymer textile fibers for an improved mechanical adherence. A post-grafting with short fluorinated chains gives non-wetting properties. Two other improvements tested compared in terms adherence wettin...

The aim of this work is to develop a smart flexible sensor adapted to textile structures, able to measure their strain deformations. The sensors are “smart” because of their capacity to adapt to the specific mechanical properties of textile structures that are lightweight, highly flexible, stretchable, elastic, etc. Because of these properties, textile structures are continuously in movement an...
