Countless hours of research and studies on triazine, phosphonate, and their combination have provided insightful information into their flame retardant properties on polymeric systems. However, a limited number of studies shed light on the mechanism of flame retardancy of their combination on cotton fabrics. The purpose of this research is to gain an understanding of the thermal degradation pro...

BACKGROUND Removal of non-cellulosic impurities from cotton fabric, known as scouring, by conventional alkaline treatment causes environmental problems and reduces physical strength of fabrics. In this study, an endo-polygalacturonase (EndoPG) from Aspergillus aculeatus produced in Pichia pastoris was evaluated for its efficiency as a bioscouring agent while most current bioscouring process has...

Fatal stabbings are the leading cause of homicide in countries with restricted access to firearms, such as Australia. The analysis damage on clothing imparted by a sharp object can assist characterization weapon. However, decomposition and carrion insects modify features damage, impeding textile crime reconstruction. This study aimed identify characterize modifications over 47 days during summe...

1,2,3,4-Butane tetracarboxylic acid (BTCA)-treated cotton fabrics were immersed in alkali for increasing time periods and the effectiveness of alkali in removing the cross-linking agent was investigated by surface (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS) analysis, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and solubility in specific solvents. The cellulose yield after t...

The presented study focuses on the development of a pad-dry-thermofix functional coating process using a mixture of microporous aluminosilicate particles in diverse bath formulations to impart UV-ray-blocking, thermal stability and easy-care properties to the cotton fabric. The results of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder Diffraction (XRD) revealed the presence of three differ...

Water-repellent, self-cleaning and stain resistant textiles are of interest for industrial applications. Anthraquinone reactive dyes were covalently grafted onto cotton fabric surfaces obtaining bright colors with good wash-fastness properties and giving rise to breathable superhydrophobic textiles with self-cleaning properties.

Present day cotton garments are mostly given chemical treatments like Softening, Easy care (Wrinkle free), Antimicrobial etc. Human sweat contains chemicals and some times affects the appearances of the garments. Effect of perspiration on wrinkle free treated cotton fabric on acidic and alkaline condition has been studied during this research work. It has been observed that there is no negative...

OBJECTIVE : The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether briefs made of Dermasilk fabric could be an adjuvant tool in the management of vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS). MATERIALS AND METHODS : A controlled, randomized, double-blind study versus placebo was conducted, comparing Dermasilk versus standard cotton briefs in patients affected by LS during treatment with clobetasol propionate 0.05%...

Despite the generally excellent results achieved with fluconazole 150 mg weekly in recurrent vulvovaginal candidosis (RVVC), some patients with a long history of disease do not achieve complete resolution of symptoms following antimycotic treatment. It is thought that use of tight synthetic fabric underwear could be a significant factor in causing recurrence. We decided to compare underwear mad...

In recent years, studies have focused on the development of fire retardant products that are produced without use flame retardants with toxic effects and do not harmful humans environment. this work, it has been compared properties some biodegradable fibers obtained from different sources. It is important to investigate performance textile surfaces renewable for improve their usage possibilitie...
