Natural dyes, obtained from plants, insects/animals, and minerals, are renewable sustainable bioresource products with minimum environmental impact. However, there still many issues to solve related natural dyes; consequently, synthetic dyes wildly used. have a low affinity towards the substrate cotton, so solution had be found: mordants. Mordants can also harmful environment, which is why bio-...

The adsorption and activity of a total cellulase (Trichoderma reesei) was measured and compared on undyed and dyed cotton fabrics. Recovery of enzymes from the reaction mixture and by desorption from the cotton substrate was evaluated. About 80% of the initial protein could be recovered. The removal of released products (soluble reducing sugars and dyes) from the treatment liquor and subsequent...

From manufacturing to disposal, the textile industry faces multiple challenges achieve sustainability and reduce its environmental impact. This work investigates properties composition of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) extracted from clothing waste made cotton fibers. We isolated CNCs cotton, polyester/cotton, acrylic/cotton fabrics through acid hydrolysis with sulfuric acid. A yield 51–62 wt % ...

World textile fiber demand was 89.8 million tons in 2015 and is expected to grow to 93.7 million tons in 2016. Global demand for textile fibers is driven by population growth and by economic activity resulting in increasing wealth, particularly in emerging economies. While this overall trend is consistent across most major fibers, there are substantial disparities in the demand patterns of natu...

In order to improve the recognition accuracy of seed cotton foreign fibers, a study on identification method in hyper-spectral images based on Minimum Noise Fraction (MNF) was proposed ,which was applied to feature extraction to reduce the dimension of hyper-spectral images. This method reduced the numbers of hyper-spectral data, lessened the images noise to the minimum , but also decreased the...

As high-strength cotton fibers are critical components of high quality cotton, developing cotton cultivars with high-strength fibers as well as high yield is a top priority for cotton development. Recently, chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) have been developed from high-yield Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) crossed with high-quality Sea Island cotton (G. barbadense). Here, we con...

Green cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers were shown by electron microscopy to have numerous thin concentric rings around the lumen of the cell. These rings possessed a lamellar fine structure characteristic of suberin. LiA1D(4) depolymerization and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed the presence of a suberin polymer in the green cotton with the major aliphatic monomers bein...

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fibers are single-cell trichomes that arise from the outer epidermal layer of seed coat. Here, we isolated a R3-MYB gene GhCPC, identified by cDNA microarray analysis. The only conserved R3 motif and different expression between TM-1 and fuzzless-lintless mutants suggested that it might be a negative regulator in fiber development. Transgenic evidence showed that GhCPC o...

Cotton fiber, which is the most widely used natural fiber in textile and paper industries, has a crucial environmental impact. Cultivation of conventional cotton consumes lot water requires usage higher amount pesticides. Organic more environmentally friendly alternative to its growing conditions. The characteristics change with differences In this study, properties yarns obtained from both con...

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) fiber cells are seed trichomes derived from the epidermal layer of the cotton seed coat. The molecular components responsible for regulating fiber cell differentiation have not been fully elucidated. A cotton PROTODERMAL FACTOR1 gene (GbPDF1) was found to be expressed preferentially during fiber initiation and early elongation, with highest accumulation in fiber cells 5 ...
