At present, fabric-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been paid attention and developed for self-power generation systems with wearability E-textiles, especially cotton. However, there are many commercial cellulose-based fabrics different fiber characteristics fabric structures that gain possibility to effect on TENG performance underreported. This work presents the fabrication of tex...

The persistence of Salmonella typhimurium (V-31) on wool blanket, wool gabardine, cotton sheeting, cotton knit jersey, cotton terry cloth, and cotton wash-and-wear fabrics was studied. Three methods of exposure were employed to contaminate the fabrics: direct contact, aerosol, and a lyophilized mixture of bacteria and dust having a high content of textile fibers. After contamination, the fabric...

Polysiloxanes, which can add high softness and lubricity to treated textiles, have been proposed as softening post-finishing agents for fabric. However, the hydrophobicity of the finished fabric is not satisfactory. In this work, long-chain fluoroalkyl acrylate was used to modify the polysiloxane, aimed at improving hydrophobicity of the finished fabric and retaining its softness simultaneously...

Chemical modification of cotton-rich fabrics with TiO2 nanoparticles results in photoactive self-cleaning textiles, which can provide, under UV or solar radiation, complete oxidation low-molecular compounds, degradation supramolecular structures, and inactivation microorganisms due to the photocatalytic effect. In this paper, we describe, based on example influenza A (H1N1) virus, a photoinduce...

Newfangled vinylsulfone (VS) based fiberreactive dyes were synthesized and applied to mill desized, bleached and mercerized textile fabric (100% cotton). Padthermosol dyeing method was utilized due to less hazardous environmental affects and high dye fixation to optimize dyeing quality parameters i.e. salt concentration, pH, dyeing time and dyeing temperature. The pretreated and dyed cotton fab...

The efficacy of synthetic pyrethroid-impregnated fabrics was evaluated against Anopheles stephensi, Aedes aegypti, and Culex quinquefasciatus, under laboratory conditions. Results revealed that delta-methrin was significantly superior in comparison to lambdacyhalothrin and cyfluthrin. Results of bioassay tests revealed that deltamethrin was 1.5 and 1.9 times more effective than lambdacyhalothri...
