Amino-functional siloxanes and hydrolyzable silane for finishing textiles. In this chapter the focus is on cellulases, pectinases, xyloglucan endotransglycosylase, tyrosinases and cutinases in the surface modification of textile materials to demonstrate the potential and different applications of enzyme technology in this area. This would make it possible for futuristic textiles to be widely applied in a variety of situations and environments. The active sites on clay layers can catalyze the initial decomposition and the ignition of the composites. These materials have attracted both academic and industrial attention because they exhibit dramatic improvement in properties at very low filler contents. Herein, the structure, preparation and properties of polymer–layered silicate nanocomposites are discussed in general, and detailed examples are also drawn from the scientific literature.Extraordinary photocatalytic activity, non-toxicity, high availability, biocompatibility, and low price make TiO2 nanoparticles particularly attractive for manufacturing of different high value-added products. This surface modifying system shows specific volume phase-transition (swelling and shrinking) which can be triggered by various stimuli (temperature, pH, humidity etc.). Techtexil North America SymposiumSchwausch M, Carvajal JC, McDaniel S, Wales M. Smart fabrics and textile enhancements: Techtexil North America Symposium. This paper is intended as an overview of the research to date, by our group and others, on the use of clays, dispersed at the nanometer level, in polymers for improving thermal stability and flammability.An encouraging option to meet the goal of achieving “smart” liquid management properties of textiles is the functional finishing by application of microgel based on stimuli-responsive polymers.
Moreover, the active sites can catalyze the dehydrogenation and crosslinking of polymer chains. Whereas the conventional methods of finishing including wet and dry finishing techniques are still being practiced on cotton and woolen fabrics, advanced textile finishing techniques may include © 2008-2020 ResearchGate GmbH. Pat. Therefore, recent studies were more oriented toward chemical and physico-chemical modification of fiber surfaces that may enhance the binding efficiency of TiO2 nanoparticles. The wettability and morphology were investigated by contact angle measurement and scanning electron microscopy. 3rd Ed. The processing of textile materials with TiO2 nanoparticles is relatively simple, but insufficient binding efficiency between certain fibers and TiO2 nanoparticles imposes a problem concerning the stability and durability of nanocomposite systems during their exploitation.
Along these lines, a critical overview is attempted on the physical and molecular origins of material properties enhancements in polymer/clay hybrid nanocomposites. Introductory Textiles. Book chapter Full text access. In contrast, other properties are determined by the particular/distinctive interactions between a specific polymer with the filler; such attributes can not be transfered from one polymer system to another. The latter is important in medicine where patient's bodies are enveloped by different textiles with the aim to cool, heat and/or maintain body temperature as well as other specific care effects, for example the prevention of infections that are spread by textiles used in the hospitals. In this review, different methods of textile finishing are hereby explained. These compounded polymers have been successfully extruded into filaments using a single screw extruder and then knitted into fabric samples. Some of these technologies have been tested and validated at lab scale, but most are still in research stages. In general, such properties originate from the nature of the layered inorganic fillers and from their nano-dispersion in a polymer. Article (PDF Available) ... of the finish textile or clothing. Atlanta; p. 1–20.Join ResearchGate to find the people and research you need to help your work.A lot of interesting advancements have been witnessed within the last two decades in the clothing and textile industry. in areas such as anti-microbial properties, water repellence, soil-resistance, anti-static, anti-infrared and flame-retardant Accordingly, the thermal-oxidative stability is increased and HRR is decreased.Non-wettable surfaces with high water contact angles (WCAs) and facile sliding of drops, called superhydrophobic or ultrahydrophobic, have received tremendous attention in recent years. On the other hand, the active sites can catalyze the formation of a protective coating char on the samples.
