Abstract:
The application of microencapsulation techniques offers the possibility of producing novel products with many advantages compared to traditional textile products. The microcapsules can introduce important new qualities to garments and fabrics, such as enhanced stability and the controlled release of active compound(s). Although microencapsulation has found application in other business sectors during the last few decades (food, cosmetics Pharmaceuticals), a significant number of microcapsule-based commercial products appeared in the textile industry during the 1990s, while many potential new products are still in the research and development stage. The most attractive examples are fabrics with durable fragrances, T-shirts with UV-ray absorbing microcapsules, T-shirts with thermo-changeable dyes military uniforms with microencapsulated insecticide, thermo-regulation vehicle seats, ski suits, and gloves. In spite of important success in developing new products, there is a lot of space for further research especially in order to improve the mechanical strength of the obtained microcapsules and the kinetics and the mechanism of the release of active compound(s). Therefore, numerous research has focused on the development of new methods of applying of microcapsules on textile, new immobilization techniques and materials, are underway.

Abstract:
<p>In 2014, the Indonesian textile industry exports 36% of their woven fabric's amount USD 4.1 to the United States, 16% to the European Union and Japan, and 5% to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This research was conducted from August 2014 to April 2015 in Indonesia. The questionnaires were distributed to 350 respondents, by using a stratified sampling, purposively, and triangulation techniques. The questionnaires were distributed to an international and national distributors, textile company staffs, textile agency, textile shopkeepers, tailor, staff of the garment, and the staffs of the Trade Minister of Indonesian. The image analysis shows that the woven fabrics of Indonesia are competitive. In terms of an image analysis, this study found three gaps of the image’s expectation and performance. It is indicated that the plan of the Trade Minister of Indonesia would be done, as long as the plan is followed by increasing the production and finishing capacity of the textile industry, which were imported from several countries, such as Germany, Italy, and ASEAN country. They need the new technology of textile machine on getting a better quality and increasing the production capacity of the woven fabrics.</p>

Abstract:
Although the American cotton textile industry was heavily protected, most commentators, following Frank Taussig's lead, have concluded that indigenous technological advance made large branches of the industry internationally competitive by the 1830s. The prices of equivalent fabrics in Britain and America in the late 1840s and 1850s challenge that conclusion. “Domestic” fabrics, in which American mills had supposedly become competitive, cost 20 percent more in America. Critical reexamination of other evidence—cost comparisons from the 1830s and American exports—supports the conclusion that an unprotected American industry could not have competed.

Abstract:
In this study, the application of textile fabrics coated with biodegradable bioactive alginate film was investigated, which was obtained from natural polysaccharides such as sodium alginate extracted from sargassum wightii and padina tetrastromatica seaweeds. The functional groups present in the bioactive substances of alginate film coated fabrics was assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of alginate film coated fabrics were assessed using DPPH free radical scavenging and EN ISO 20645 test methods, respectively. The effect of coatings on biomaterials was evaluated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and the effect of alginate film coated fabrics on comfort properties such as thickness, air permeability, wickability, flexural stiffness, and wettability was studied. The experimental result specifies that the maximum antioxidant activity of 54 ± 0.98% inhibition was achieved and maximum antibacterial activity was attained with the inhibition zone of 44 mm in alginate film coated textile fabrics. The air permeability, flexural stiffness, wettability, and wickability properties were slightly affected in both coated textile fabrics compared with uncoated fabric. The sargassum wightii alginate film coated textile fabric showed 80% of wound healing activity compared with padina tetrastromatica alginate film coated textile fabric. This alginate film coated textile fabrics are preferably suitable for nonimplantable materials such as wound healing, skin grafts, food industry, pharmaceutical industry, and hygienic textiles.

Abstract:
The rapid development of textile industry at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution results in the invention of synthetic fibers. As synthetic fibers cannot be decomposed naturally, significant textile waste is thus created. Selvages, which make up the majority of our total garbage output, have a low value and thus are usually sold cheaply or outsourced as textile waste. This study aims to recycle and reclaim the nonwoven selvages which are discarded by the textile industry. The recycled polypropylene (PP) selvages, serving as a packing material, and 6 denier PP staple fibers are made into the recycled PP nonwoven fabrics. The resulting nonwoven fabrics are subsequently tested in terms of maximum tensile breaking strength, tearing strength, surface observation, thickness measurement and sound absorption coefficient.

Abstract:
Abstract The concept of ‘environmental awareness’ has recently had a major impact on the textile industry and on the fashion world as well. In this context, the use of natural fibres and the development of natural dyeing processes gradually became important goals of the textile industry. Of all natural textile fibres, hemp is considered to be one of the strongest and most durable. A wide range of natural extracts have been used for natural textile coloration and dyeing. Dyes deriving from natural sources have emerged as an important alternative to synthetic dyes. Ecofriendly, nontoxic, sustainable and renewable natural dyes and pigments have been used for colouring the food substrate, leather, wood, natural fibres and fabrics from the dawn of human history. The purpose of the research is to obtain ecologically coloured fabrics for textiles by using a method of dyeing that relies on natural ingredients extracted from red beet, onion leaves and black tea. The experiments are conducted on three different types of hemp fabrics. This paper presents the results of the studies regarding the dyeing process of hemp fabrics with natural extracts, the colours of the dyed samples inspected with reflectance spectra and the CIE L*a*b* colour space measurements.

Robots can be used, among a broad variety of different applications, in the textile industry to fulfill mechanically challenging tasks which common automats are not capable of. On the contrary, textile fabrics can also be integrated in robotics. Textile-based laminates can be applied as actuators; spacer fabrics can prevent robot arms from hurting men or autonomous robots from damaging themselves on difficult terrain; or as flexible sensors in soft and traditional robotics. Here, we give an overview of recent applications of textile materials in robotics and point out possible future utilization of diverse textile materials in this emerging field of research and development with increasing importance for industrial processes as well as services.

Full text
Abstract:
The textile industry uses the electrochemical techniques both in textile processes (such as manufacturing fibers, dyeing processes, and decolorizing fabrics) and in wastewaters treatments (color removal). Electrochemical reduction reactions are mostly used in sulfur and vat dyeing, but in some cases, they are applied to effluents discoloration. However, the main applications of electrochemical treatments in the textile sector are based on oxidation reactions. Most of electrochemical oxidation processes involve indirect reactions which imply the generation of hypochlorite or hydroxyl radical in situ. These electrogenerated species are able to bleach indigo-dyed denim fabrics and to degrade dyes in wastewater in order to achieve the effluent color removal. The aim of this paper is to review the electrochemical techniques applied to textile industry. In particular, they are an efficient method to remove color of textile effluents. The reuse of the discolored effluent is possible, which implies an important saving of salt and water (i.e., by means of the “UVEC Cell”).

Abstract:
In the wind energy sector, automotive and aviation industries, non-crimp fabrics have been established for many years. Non-crimp fabrics are also increasingly being sought in the construction sector. Due the connection to the concrete, the non-crimp fabrics with a grid-like open structure are used as textile reinforcements. This paper presents the development of alternative stitch-free bonding technologies for non-crimp fabrics based on multiple carbon fiber heavy tows for textile-reinforced concrete components. For this purpose, an initial analysis is carried out to find out the effect of impregnation on the number of roving layers. Further examinations to determine the process-related limits and mechanical process parameters for using this kind of rovings in textile machines are performed on the influence of multiple roving tension on changes width. Finally, the strength of the bonding points of the non-crimp fabrics produced in a laboratory scale is thoroughly investigated by varying the grid geometry, number of roving layers and bonding technology. The investigations show a good potential of the developed bonding technologies for the production of alternative bonded stitch-free non-crimp fabrics. Compared to grid-like open structures, which are connected by stitching threads, the strength of the bonding points can be increased up to 30%, by the developed stitch-free bonding technologies.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study on the characteristics of knitted fabrics used in the manufacturing of apparel, which are produced from organic cotton, lyocell and soybean protein fiber (SPF). It is important for both the environment and society that textile industry continues to adopt more ecofriendly materials and furthermore, pushes to increase awareness regarding these material choices available to the consumer and the corresponding impacts of consumers’ decisions. The use of sustainable fibers may be a starting point for changing the industrial paradigm of the textile industry. Design/methodology/approach – The research presented herein analyzes the potential use of three raw materials used in the development of knitted fabrics: organic cotton, lyocell and SPF. The experimental trials, based on norms, determined the weight, pilling, rupture pressure resistance, absorption by capillarity, dimensional alteration and elasticity. The significance of the experimental results was verified through the analysis of variance, with a confidence interval of 95 percent (p=0.05) and the determination of the optimal regulation of the machine was made through an analysis of the response surface. Findings – The results indicate that each of the studied materials are suitable for textile application; however, the fabrics manufactured from soybean yarn, compared to those manufactured from organic cotton or lyocell, have a higher potential to meet the needs of the costumer. Social implications – The discussion regarding sustainability is far reaching on the ways it interacts with human life. As such, the latent need for meeting this new demand presents a unique opportunity for the development of new processes and products. In the case of the textile industry, initiatives are gradually being adopted that make the processes used by the supply chain less damaging to the environment. Clothing and fashion are highly visible elements of society, so consequently, the textile industry serves as an excellent candidate for promoting a sustainable and eco-friendly mindset. Originality/value – The incorporation of sustainable fibers can serve as a starting point for change to the industrial paradigm existing within the textile industry. To this point, this study intended to analyze the potential implementation of three raw materials – organic cotton, lyocell and SPF – in the development of knitted fabrics. The results indicated that these materials are adequate for textile applications.

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 resistance and UV protection properties to treated fabrics; however, their long-term sustenance and strength depend on a multitude of factors. However, the application of bark extracts on several types of textile fabrics have no significant impact on textile quality.

This article explores differences between the cotton industries in England and America in the early nineteenth century. I show that the two countries produced almost entirely different products: the Enlish made fine fabrics; the Americans, coarse. The cause of this disjunction is found in the American tariff policy, whichwas influenced by the Massachusetts cotton manufacturers. Since coarse spinning promoted vertical integration, the American product structure favored integration. This argument reveals that the variables analyzed were jointly determined, since the Massachusetts firms with the political clout to affect the tariff were vertically integrated.

Abstract:
The textile industry produces large quantities of waste and scrap materials. Most of this waste requires disposal. Both environmental and economic benefits could be derived by developing commercial products to use these materials. Environmentally acceptable textile products include those that utilize recycled materials, or materials that have not been chemically processed. Such products are often not economically profitable because of the added expense necessary for environmental protection. Development of such a cost-effective textile product requires use of low-cost materials, minimal cost production processes, and finishes that have already been developed and tested.The objective of this research was to develop a semi-disposable, economical, light-weight, comfortable thermal blanket that would be both flame-resistant and antibacterial through a limited number of laundry cycles. Targeted uses would be in medical and health care facilities, disaster relief centers, short term and emergency housing needs, recreational areas such as camping, and in military maneuvers where environmental conditions could be harmful to long-term products.

Abstract:
Lucky Textile Group is one of the textile manufacturing companies in Indonesia. Lucky Textile Group has 2 companies, each of which has different production results but is mutually sustainable. PT. Benang Citra Indonesia and PT. Lucky Print Abadi is part of the Lucky Textile Group. PT. Yarn Citra Indonesia currently produces yarn with the main raw material, namely cotton, while PT. Lucky Print Abadi produces woven and finishing fabrics (Printing, Dying and White). The raw material for making woven fabric is yarn obtained from PT. Yarn Citra Indonesia or can also be from an outside factory according to the type of raw materials needed. Then it is processed into finishing cloth (Printing, Dyeing and White) according to the customer's request. It is known that market competition in Indonesia is increasingly flooded with imported textile products so that competition in the textile industry in Indonesia is getting tougher, where competitors from Vietnam and Bangladesh also make many Indonesian textile producers fall. The textile and textile product industry (TPT) of Indonesia is one of the strategic national manufacturing industries in the Indonesian economy, because of its contribution to 2 (two) national interests. First in the social field, through employment and opening up employment opportunities. Second in the economic sector, namely the average foreign exchange generated by the textile sector in the last 5 years reached US $ 7.92 billion with a growth rate of 8.5% and contributed the largest foreign exchange of all Indonesian export commodities. Therefore through the SWOT analysis, it is expected to be able to understand the strength of the Lucky Textile Group in facing global competition.

Abstract:
The rise of the textile industry in global fashion has caused a high level of post-consumer textile waste generation. Every year, million tons of textile waste has been sent to landfills that consequently leading to environmental pollution. This study aimed to use the textile waste for the development of hybrid composite laminate, together with the existing commercially available fibreglass. This research investigated the tensile properties and impact strength of textile waste hybrid composites. Three textile variants were used in this study, which is lycra, polyester and cotton, and they were either chopped or used as a full fabric. Hand lay-up and hot press technique were used to produce the sample materials, using epoxy resin as the binder. A total of 9 samples were prepared and their tensile and impact properties were assessed. Tensile test results showed that all hybrid composites have a better ultimate tensile strength and tensile modulus compared to their original raw fabrics, but not on the elongation property. It can be seen that the arrangement of fabrics has a distinctive effect on tensile and impact strength. All raw fabrics were greatly punctured during the failure, but all hybrid composites have barely visible impact damage on the front surface, and no penetration was observed. This study reveals that the reuse of textile waste and fibreglass for the development of hybrid composites has a huge potential to be used as substitutes in other composite materials. In the future, this will contribute to improving the sustainability of textile materials.

Abstract:
The conductivity of textile fabrics is not only relevant for highly conductive textile materials, which can be prepared by coatings with fine metal layers or conductive polymers, but it is also of large interest in antistatic or other textiles which necessitate relatively low conductivities. These high resistances are usually in a range of gigaohms to teraohms which is not accessible by common multimeters, but necessitates special teraohmmeters. Although these measurement instruments are not unusual in the textile industry, their applications necessitate knowledge of the measurement principle and especially of the influence of environmental conditions on the measurement results. Here, temperature- and humidity-dependent measurements for temperatures of 20°C/23°C/27°C and relative humidities of 50%/65% with a teraohmmeter on different textile fabrics are shown. The results show not only the strong impact of the environmental conditions, resulting in resistance deviations of more than one order of magnitude, but also give hints on how these environmental conditions can be stabilized to a large amount to enable reliable comparison between different textile materials.

Abstract:
Synthetic pigments/non-renewable coloring sources used normally in the textile industry release toxic substances into the environment, causing perilous ecological challenges. To be safer from such challenges of synthetic colorants, academia and industries have explored the use of natural colorants such as microbial pigments. Such explorations have created a fervent interest among textile stakeholders to undertake the dyeing of textile fabrics, especially with fungal pigments. The biodegradable and sustainable production of natural colorants from fungal sources stand as being comparatively advantageous to synthetic dyes. The prospective scope of fungal pigments has emerged in the opening of many new avenues in textile colorants for wide ranging applications. Applying the biotechnological processes, fungal pigments like carotenoids, melanins, flavins, phenazines, quinones, monascins, violacein, indigo, etc. could be extracted on an industrial scale. This review appraises the studies and applications of various fungal pigments in dyeing textile fabrics and is furthermore shedding light on the importance of toxicity testing, genetic manipulations of fungal pigments, and their future perspectives under biotechnological approaches.

Abstract:
Textile inkjet printing is an increasingly popular process in the textile industry, as it allows for the incorporation of complex and detailed patterns onto fabrics, as well as the production of small and medium volumes of printed text. Unfortunately, most of the dyes used by the textile industry come from synthetic and/or non-renewable sources. There has been some research to date in using fungal pigments from wood rotting fungi (‘spalting’ fungi) as textile dyes, however these have never been tested in inkjet printing. Of particular interest is the red crystallizing pigment from Scytalidium cuboideum, which has previously shown exceptional stability on textiles. To test this pigment in an inkjet setting, cotton and polyester fabrics were printed with three different ink formulations involving the red pigment: hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), ethanol, and acetone. The CTAB and ethanol-based ink formulations formed a ‘mesh-like’ structure on the surface of the cotton and polyester fibers, and turned the fabric purple. Acetone formulas formed crystal structures on the surface and turned the fabric red. These results show promise for turning the red pigment of S. cuboideum into an environmentally friendly, inkjet colorant, however further research is required to evaluate the crocking and explain the crystallization differences between inks.

Abstract:
Comfort is a state of mind affected by many factors, and clothing has contributing to the well being of man, changing in some cases his customs. Since the origin, the primary functions of clothes have been of protection against cold or in general against environmental stimuli. New functions are required to modern textiles: wearing comfort, durability, cleaning properties, optimized functionality for specific applications (workwear, sportswear, medical wear). Smart and interactive textiles represent a budding interdisciplinary field that brings together specialists in information technology, micro systems, materials engineering, and production technology. The focus of this new area is on developing the enabling technologies and fabrication techniques for the economical production of flexible, conformable and large-area textile- based information systems that are expected to have more applications for different end users. The smart and interactive textiles will be highly applied in the next generation of fibres, fabrics and items produced from them. Application of smart textiles can be now found everywhere. The market and the business of wearable, interactive and smart textiles are presently changing the basis of the textile industry. The changes are dynamic knowledge transfer, innovative systems, new employment opportunities in the smart industries and others. Business possibilities are not limited to the textile industry, but they can be found in almost any line of business. The European textile sector is one of the mainstays of the European Manufacturing Industry. The market for smart textiles is one of the most dynamic and fast growing sectors and offers huge potential for companies.

Abstract:
Katachiki (recently named Bingata) is a traditional dyed craft found in Okinawa, Japan. It involves a stencilled resist dyeing technique and dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Sadly, many Bingata fabrics were lost during World War II. Preserving Bingata and other traditional fabrics is important for the local community and their traditions. These fabrics also hold important benefits for tourism and sustainability, including as new textile materials, souvenirs and for their innovative designs. Professor Mitsukuni Matayoshi, Department of Industry and Information Science, College of Industry and Information Science, Okinawa International University, Japan, is working with Associate Professor Tae Hisada, Faculty of the Arts (Correspondence Education) Department of Fine and Applied Arts, and Associate Professor Kunika Sakumoto, Okinawa Christian Junior College, to research traditional dyed textiles of the Yaeyama Islands in Okinawa that can be utilised as a tourism resource. One textile that the researchers are particularly interested in is a vegetable string called Tonbyan. The researchers are working to obtain Tonbyan fibres using a new approach. Once the fibres have been acquired they will weave cloth. They hope that their method for acquiring Tonbyan fibers will be useful for craftspeople.

Abstract:
The fashion industry is the second largest polluting industry in the world. Different fashion cycles provide various options in the market, which leads to the rising concern of the environmental impact of the industry. Wastewater, carbon, and textile waste are different types of waste being generated by the industry. Textile waste is generated in two phases i.e. during production (textile leftovers) and post-production (discarded textiles). Therefore, it is important to look at the environmental impact of the textile industry and take initiatives to reduce the overall impact on the environment. The purpose of the research is to study how a couture brand manages the textile waste generated during the production and to generate ideas to reuse them. The couture brand in which the study was conducted was Shriya Som. The waste management strategy of the Couture brand Shriya Som was studied and analyzed in terms of waste generation and its reuse. The amount of waste being generated by the brand daily was evaluated and how much is reused and how much was going to landfill. Strategy to utilize the leftover fabrics were developed keeping in mind the brand identity. This study gives an overall perspective of textile waste management strategies being adopted by the industry. Also suggests ideas to reuse textile waste. It was found that most of the leftovers can be creatively reutilized in the product line itself to reduce or completely zero down the waste going to the landfills.

Abstract:
Symmetry is part of textile art in patterns and motifs that decorate fabrics, which are made by the interlacement of warp and wefts. Moreover, the 3D representation of fabrics have already been studied by some authors; however, they have not specifically dealt with preserving historical weaving techniques. In this paper, we present the SILKNOW’s Virtual Loom, a tool intended to document, preserve and reproduce silk historical weaving techniques from the 15th to the 19th centuries. We focus on the symmetry function and its contribution to art history, textile conservation, and modern design. We analyzed 2028 records from Garin 1820 datasets—a historical industry that still weaves with these techniques—and we reconstructed some historical designs that presented different types of defects. For those images (including fabrics and drawings) that had a symmetrical axis, we applied the symmetry functionality allowing to reconstruct missing parts. Thanks to these results, we were able to verify the usefulness of the Virtual Loom for conservation, analysis and new interpretative advantages, thanks to symmetry analysis applied to historical fabrics.

The paper presents some possibilities of measuring light passed through textile products applicable as sunshade window curtains. The existing measurement methods were analysed and a new method for measuring the barrier properties and transparency of flat textile products was proposed based on linear measurement. The idea of measurement was established for the purpose of identifying the optical properties of blackout fabrics applied as internal screens for public interiors. Preliminary research has shown that blackout fabrics obtained by weaving technology – so called weaving blackout (not a coated blackout) have a varied structure. In this case, the characteristics of this structure determine the level of barrier properties. The mechanism of light passing through such structures is special and requires specific measurement conditions. The paper presents an original research methodology dedicated especially for blackout fabrics. The new methodology and indicators for assessing the barrier effect in the VIS radiation band can be adopted by industry.

Abstract:
Abstract The textile industry uses many raw materials (natural and synthetic dyes and fibers) and different dyeing techniques that can be considered important pollutants with a negative impact on the environment (toxic working conditions, discharged wastewater, and contamination). Although synthetic dyes are intensively used, offer a wide range of colors and hues and properties of adhesion, longevity, and resistance to sunshine and chemical processes, and are cost-effective, they have begun to be restricted by many textile producers because they are nonbiodegradable and have toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects that generate some imbalances in plant, animal, and human life. Natural dyes of plant and animal origin exhibit very good tolerance to washing, rubbing, and light and are biodegradable and nontoxic; these properties have led to a call for the renewed use of these dyes. Modern analytical techniques (solid-phase extraction, spectrophotometry, HPLC, HPTLC, capillary electrophoresis) with different spectroscopy (UV-Vis, diode-array detection, pulsed amperometric detection) and/or MS/tandem mass spectrometry detectors have an important role in the textile industry in obtaining essential information about dyeing techniques, material origin, historical trade routes of ancient textiles, and environmental pollution. For this purpose, isolation, separation, and quantification methods of natural and synthetic textile dyes from various matrices (ancient and modern fabrics, water, biota, etc.) are presented.

Abstract:
Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, primarily driven by its textile industries. A high amount of water is consumed and polluted in the production and processing of raw material to the final product in the textile industry. Therefore, water footprint assessment is important for textile products. In this study, the water footprint of cotton cultivation, transportation and textile industry was calculated by analyzing the amount of imported cotton, production and processing capacity of cotton yarn and cotton fabrics, wastewater volume, number of workers and pollution load database, for 2012–2016. For the textile industry, the annual water footprint was found to be 1.8 billion m3. This high amount of water footprint and water pollution may result in depletion of groundwater level and can lead to major health problems for the local people, respectively. Total water footprint for ready-made garment product is found to be 27.56 billion m3, whereas considering proper water treatment and water reuse facilities can reduce the grey water footprint to around 1.26 billion m3. This study shows the extent of water pollution, groundwater depletion and economic impact of groundwater extraction, and possible means to reduce water footprint in cotton cultivation and textile industries.

Improvement of the medical textile industry has received more attention recently, especially with widespread of microbial and viral infections. Medical textiles with new properties, such as bacterial pathogens self-cleaning, have been explored with nanotechnology. In this study, an endophytic actinomycetes strain of Streptomyces laurentii R-1 was isolated from the roots of the medicinal plant Achillea fragrantissima. This is used as a catalyst for the mediated biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) for applications in the textile industry. The biosynthesized Ag-NPs were characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD), which confirmed the successful formation of crystalline, spherical metal nanoparticles. The biosynthesized Ag-NPs exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Our data elucidated that the biosynthesized Ag-NPs had a highly cytotoxic effect against the cancerous caco-2 cell line. The selected safe dose of Ag-NPs for loading on cotton fabrics was 100 ppm, regarding their antibacterial activity and safe cytotoxic efficacy. Interestingly, scanning electron microscope connected with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) of loaded cotton fabrics demonstrated the smooth distribution of Ag-NPs on treated fabrics. The obtained results highlighted the broad-spectrum activity of nano-finished fabrics against pathogenic bacteria, even after 5 and 10 washing cycles. This study contributes a suitable guide for the performance of green synthesized NPs for utilization in different biotechnological sectors.

Few decades back, a Nano word with big promising has been precipitously implying itself into the world's realization and associates with everyday life, economics and globally consequences. Functionalization of textile polymers has been practiced by different techniques to confer new properties on to the fibre so as to enable their application in fields other than textile industry. Nanotechnology may deliver the better performances and functionality to the textile materials due to the high surface area and energy. Further, Nanoparticles can apply on the fabrics by coating method without affecting the comfort and feel of the fabrics. It has improved the various properties like ultra violet protection, antibacterial and stain proof etc. LBL techniques is used to produce a thin polymeric film in a controlled manner on a surface of fabrics by using of different size of molecular weights and charges of polyelectrolytes. The unique feature of this technique is that it forms a very thin layer on fabric surface (1-10 nm) as compared to other available techniques; thus, no deterioration of surface properties of the substrate on which they are deposited. Nano TiO2 and ZnO particles along with polyelectrolytes and produce PEM on the Nylon 66 substrate by using LBL technique to get the antimicrobial and Ultraviolet protection property.

Abstract:
Purpose The paper aims to improve the protective and comfort properties of both woven and knitted acrylic fabrics by applying a hybrid waterborne polyurethane/fluorocarbon hydrophobic finish. Design/methodology/approach In this study, it was found that the transportation of water from fabrics is one of the important textile parameters. To improve this property, a polyurethane-based finish (Dicrylan BSRN®) and an oil- and water-repellent finish (Oleophobol ZSR®) were applied by using the pad-dry-cure method. After applying the finishes, the resultant fabric samples were investigated for various textile properties. Findings The application of Oleophobol ZSR® increased the absorbency time, indicating that the fabric became hydrophobic, whereas the application of Dicrylan BSRN® finish improved the moisture management properties of the woven acrylic. The tensile strength of the woven acrylic fabric was not significantly affected by the application of these finishes. The contact angle of treated knitted fabrics increased and air permeability decreased with an increase in the concentration of Oleophobol ZSR®. Practical implications Moisture management is one of the crucial performance criteria in today’s apparel industry. Therefore, fluorochemicals are one of the major precursors used in water-repellent finishes and waterproof membranes in outdoor garments. Based on this fact, this research work focused on the textile sector, where moisture management is required. Originality/value This is the first report about the combined application of waterborne polyurethane and fluorochemical-based finishes on acrylic fabrics to tune their comfort and hydrophobic properties.

Abstract Fabric Touch Tester (FTT) is a relatively new device from SDL Atlas to determine touch properties of fabrics. It simultaneously measures 13 touch-related fabric physical properties in four modules that include bending and thickness measurements. This study aims to comparatively analyze the thickness and bending measurements made by the FTT and the common standard methods used in the textile industry. The results obtained with the FTT for 11 different fabrics were compared with that of standard methods. Despite the different measurement principle, a good correlation was found between the two methods used for the assessment of thickness and bending. As FTT is a new tool for textile comfort measurement and no standard yet exists, these findings are essential to determine the reliability of the measurements and how they relate to the well-established standard methods.
