Reduction of radiation transmission through functionalization of textiles from man-made cellulosic fibers

Both ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light have negative impact on the human health. With this background it is main aim of current research to realize a textile material which able protect against both UV IR light. For research, regenerated cellulosic fibers from Lyocell process are used modified. Main analytical investigations done by photo-spectroscopy in arrangement diffuse transmission for spectral range 220 nm 1400 nm. Additionally, microscopic scanning electron microscopy (SEM). development, functionalized with TiO2 particles first processed into yarns then knitted fabrics. Compared non-functionalized textiles, reduced due absorption behavior TiO2. Subsequent dyeing anthraquinone or reactive dyes enhanced protective effect. To reduce near (NIR), fabrics various absorbers different concen­trations. increasing concentration, de­creased. However, grey coloration observed simultaneously, increased concentration. This must be con­sidered further processing steps. these methods function­alization, possible produce textiles that offer protection radiation. These promising materials production clothing work wear.
