Abstract:

Medical textile is an extremely important subcategory of technical textile because it is covering a wide range of products. The term medical textile itself covers all types of textile materials that are used in the healthcare system for various purposes. Medical textile is also known as health textile and is one of the fastest growing sectors in the technical textile market. The growth rate of technical textiles in this area is due to constant improvements and innovations in both areas: textile technologies and medical procedures. Textile structures used in this field include yarns, woven, kni

The influence factors for washing damage in textile integrated electronics as well as common weak points are not extensively researched, which makes a targeted approach to improve washability in e-textiles difficult.

Aerogels possess a unique combination of properties, including extremely high porosity at the nanoscale, extremely low density, and excellent thermal insulation capabilities, making them promising insulation materials for mod

Abstract:

Bark extracts are important sources of natural dyes. They possess many functional properties of potential interest to the textile industry. Currently, textiles with eco-friendly functional finishing are increasingly sought for in medical and protective clothing due to stringent environmental laws and the associated toxicity of synthetic agents. In view of this, recent studies on bark extracts for multi-functional finishing of textiles, particularly for antimicrobial and UV protective finishing, is reviewed. Bark extracts from various trees are able to effectively impart antimicrobial resistanc

Abstract:

Abstract In the development of medical drug delivery systems, attention has been increasingly focused on slow- or controlled delivery systems in order to achieve an optimal therapeutic effect. Since the administration of drugs often requires a defined or minimum effective dosage in the human body, more conventional delivery systems such as tablets require relatively high doses, which can result in undesired toxic effects. Subsequent degradation of the drug in the human body will result in a drug concentration below the minimum effective level. Furthermore, there are situations where oral admin

Abstract:

One of the recommendations for future textile development is the modification of textiles to produce materials for human performance (sports, medical, and protective). In the current work, modifying a polyester surface with silver nanoparticles improved antioxidant and antibacterial protection. For this purpose, ethylenediamine aminolysis was utilized as ligands to fabricate polyester textiles, trapping silver ions to further reduce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Dopamine (PDA) was used to provide antibacterial and antioxidant properties to the polyester textile by converting silver ions into A

Novel textile temperature sensors based on strain-relieved braiding constructions offer attractive monitoring possibilities for numerous application fields involving e-textiles in general, and medical textiles in particular. Thus, the research work presented in this paper focused on theoretical foundations, manufacturing, and procedural, mechanical as well as thermal testing of these newly developed, textile-based sensors for temperature measurements. The median basic resistance of the scalable sensor yarns using a helical stainless steel wire is about 0.81 Ω/mm. Within the temperature range o

During current COVID-19 crises, the antimicrobial textiles primarily those utilized in hospital by doctors and paramedical staff have become increasingly important. Thus, there is an unmet requirement to develop antimicrobial textiles for infection control and hygiene practices. Metallic nanoparticles exhibit great effectiveness towards resistant microbial species making them a potential solution to the increasing antibiotic resistance. Due to this, nanoparticles particularly copper and silver have become most prevalent forms of antibacterial finishing agents for the development of antimicrobi

Abstract:

Materials exhibiting an antimicrobial effect are especially advantageous for medical textiles which are in very close and long-term contact with human skin. Orthopaedic stockings made of terry cotton and polyamide were coated with silver nanoparticles by a simple dip coating process under mild conditions. Both textiles released silver ions over at least 28 days. The silver ion release for both materials is governed by diffusion. The amount of silver ions released by the cotton textile was higher than by the nylon stockings by about a factor of 4. The reason was a larger silver reservoir in the
