The wet processing industry experiences various problems, such as the faulty and uneven shade of dyeing, colour patch formation on surface dyed fabric, etc. during dyeing subsequent textile materials. Stripping is considered a process that helps to reuse fabrics by minimizing faults. aim this paper evaluate effectiveness stripping agents quality stripped cotton knit were coloured using bi-funct...

Caprolactam (aminocaproic lactam, 2-oxohexa-methylenimine, CAS No. 105-60-2), the monomer used in the production of nylon-6, was selected and testing initiated by the Carcinogenesis Testing Program, National Cancer Institute (now part of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences/National Toxicology Program) because nearly one billion pounds per year are produced, because of the wi...

ZnO nanoparticle-based multilayer nanocomposite films were fabricated on cationized woven cotton fabrics via layer-by-layer molecular self-assembly technique. For cationic surface charge, cotton fabrics were pretreated with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (EP3MAC) by pad-batch method. XPS and SEM were used to examine the deposited nano-ZnO multilayer films on the cotton fabrics. The n...

In this study, the influence of dyeing on the antibacterial efficiency of polyamide and polyester fabrics loaded with colloidal Ag nanoparticles and the influence of the presence of Ag nanoparticles on the color change of dyed fabrics were investigated. Dyes C.I. acid green 25 and C.I. disperse blue 3 were used for dyeing of polyamide fabrics, while dye C.I. disperse violet 8 was used for dyein...

Ultrasonic technology is widely used to assist many industrial and domestic applications. However, the effect of ultrasonic washing on the thermophysiological properties of natural based fabrics has not been studied yet. This study aims to examine the relationship between unwashed, ultrasonically washed, and conventionally washed fabrics in terms of their abrasion behavior, flexural rigidity, a...

Carbon-based fibres hold promise for preparing multifunctional fabrics with electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, permeability, flexibility and lightweight. However, these fabrics are of limited performance mainly because of the weak interaction between fibres. Here we report non-woven graphene fibre fabrics composed of randomly oriented and interfused graphene fibres with strong inter...

Low-pressure oxygen and argon plasmas were used to pre-treat nylon fabrics, and the modified fabrics, together with the raw fabrics, were subsequently coated with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by a dip-drying process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy analyses indicated the attachment of SWCNTs onto nylon fabrics. After the coating with SWCNTs, the plasma modif...

Sensors based on electronic textiles (e-textiles) have become increasingly prominent in the field of biomechanical monitoring technology due to multiple properties such as being lightweight, flexible, and comfortable, with increasing potential incorporating into long-term devices. Previous research has been conducted textile strain sensors graphene for human motion monitoring, however most e-te...

In the textile sector, emotions are often associated with both physical touch and manipulation of the product. Thus there is the need to recreate the affective experiences of touching and interacting with fabrics using commonly available internet technology. New digital interactive representations of fabrics simulating handling have been proposed with the idea of bringing the digital experience...
