A facile and original method of embedding carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotube (CCNTs) by a surface micro-dissolution process on cotton fabrics is proposed. Carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotube/cotton composites (CCNT/cotton composites) were created by embedding carbon nanotubes in the surface layer of cotton fabrics. The fabrics were treated in a NaOH/urea aqueous system under low temperature,...
Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and embedded into the surface of cotton fibers via surface micro-dissolution method using NaOH/urea aqueous solution as dissolving agent, magnetic nanoparticles as the filler, and H2SO4/Na2SO4 aqueous solution as the coagulant. The magnetic nanoparticles and cotton fabrics were systematically studied by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive...
Pentaacetyl glucose (PAG) is a common and cheap intermediate and has biocompatible, nontoxic, and renewable features. PAG was investigated as a bleach activator for H2O2 in the pretreatment of gray knitting cotton fabric. The bleaching performance of the H2O2/PAG bleaching system was investigated by measuring the CIE whiteness index (WI), H2O2 decomposition rate and bursting strength. By addition...
Self-cleaning surfaces are functional structures with application in smart textiles. In this study, self-cleaning cotton fabrics were fabricated by coating photocatalytic zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on cotton surfaces, using a traditional dip-pad-dry-cure coating process. The coatings and ZnO content-dependent self-cleaning properties of the coated fabrics were investigated to evaluate their...
A novel intumescent flame retardant treatment, consisting of vinylphosphonic acid (VPA) as the acid source and methacrylamide (MAA) as blowing agent, was designed and applied onto cotton fabrics. The grafting of reactive monomers onto cellulose chains was carried out using potassium persulfate as initiator of a radical polymerization technique. The thermal and fire behaviour of the treated fabrics...
This article focuses on the development of a durable multi-functional finish for cotton fabric by direct synthesis of nano zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) particles in the pores of the fibres. Anions and cations of zinc nitrate interacted with cellulose molecules and opened up the internal pore structure of cellulosic fibrils that in turn acted as nucleating sites for the formation of nano-ZnO on reaction with...
To produce cotton fabrics with infrared-insulating properties, TiO2 nanoparticles are uniformly and firmly coated onto the fabric using low-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology at 90 °C. Cotton fabric samples were tested and the experimental data indicated that the fabrics treated by the ALD process had excellent infrared resistance and reflection properties, with the infrared and...
The application method of essential oils and plant extracts in micro/nanocapsules on textiles can affect the properties of the fabric due to evaporation. This paper presents a comparative study on different applications of encapsulated herbal products on cotton fabric. UV curing of nanocapsules and simultaneous encapsulation/stabilization were used to prepare a controllable release essential oils...
This study discusses the effect of corona pre-treatment at atmospheric pressure and subsequent loading of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles on the biodegradation behavior of cotton fabric. Biodegradation performance of the control and finished samples was evaluated by standard soil burial tests in predetermined periods of 3, 9 and 18 days. Color and breaking strength measurements were utilized for assessment...
