Hydrophobization of the Man-Made Cellulosic Fibers by Incorporating Plant-Derived Hydrophobic Compounds

چکیده

The cellulosic fiber-based sustainable textile industry needs greener alternatives to the existing hydrophobization approaches—which are essentially based on nonrenewable and expensive hydrophobizing agents adversely impact environment. Herein, we report production of novel hydrophobic cellulose fibers produced by incorporating nature-derived additives—betulin (BE) betulinic acid (BA) using Ioncell technology. incorporation process is simple does not require any additional step during dry-jet wet spinning. Spinning dopes containing up 10 wt % BE BA were spinnable spun (10BE 10BA) maintained their mechanical properties. Compared BE, BA-incorporated fiber showed homogeneous surface morphology suggesting increased compatibility with cellulose. Consequently, in contrast BE-incorporated fibers, demonstrated higher yarn spinnability. Both 10BE 10BA hydrophobicity (water contact angle >90°) nonwovens yarns. In summary, developed a system for man-made via eco-friendly cost-effective way, which has potential scalability industrial applications.

Enzymatic Treatment of Man-made Cellulosic Fabrics

Cellulases have been used in garment wet processing for approximately eight years. The majortty of cellulase enzyme used In textile appllcatlons has been on cotton. Denim jeans and knit and woven cotton garments are frequently treated. Cellulases effectively improve cotton’s surface eppearanco, hsndie and drape, and nsduce It0 tendency to pili or fuzz after repetitive iaunderings.‘-‘ Today, cal...

Plant-derived compounds in treatment of leishmaniasis

Leishmaniasis is a neglected public health problem caused by the protozoan species belonging to the genus Leishmania affecting mostly the poor populations of developing countries. The causative organism is transmitted by female sandflies. Cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral clinical manifestations are the most frequent forms of leishmaniasis. Chemotherapy still relies on the use of pentavale...

Man-made mineral fibers and the respiratory tract.

Man-made mineral fibers are produced using inorganic materials and are widely used as thermal and acoustic insulation. These basically include continuous fiberglass filaments, glass wool (fiberglass insulation), stone wool, slag wool and refractory ceramic fibers. Likewise, in the last two decades nanoscale fibers have also been developed, among these being carbon nanotubes with their high elec...

Mitochondrial effects of plant-made compounds.

SIGNIFICANCE Plants produce many small molecules with biomedical potential. Their absorption from foods, metabolism, their effects on physiological and pathological processes, and the mechanisms of action are intensely investigated. Many are known to affect multiple cellular functions. Mitochondria are coming to be recognized as a major target for these compounds, especially redox-active ones, ...

Durability of ceramic and novel man-made mineral fibers.

In vitro solubility testing is an important means of assessing the likely behavior of fibers that are respired and accumulate in the lung. The problem has been that such tests often do not mirror the dissolution and removal mechanisms seen in vivo. Comparison of iron and silica solubility values of various types of mineral fiber showed no obvious correlation. Treating a mineral fiber containing...
