INTRODUCTION Today, development of materials technology using biomass is expected for creation of a sustainable society. Especially, the composite consisting of plant-based natural fibers and biodegradable resin, so-called the fully-green composites, is much expected for practical use. So far, we made textile green composites using biodegradable resin and plain woven ramie fabric and explored t...

electrospinning is a method of nanofiber filter media production. by this method, it is possibleto produce media with nanofiber in the range of nanometer to micrometer. nanofibrous media provide a large specific surface area in a finite volume thus they are suitable for filtration applications. in this study, nanofiber non-woven membranes production of nylon-6 by electrospinning method is inves...

BACKGROUND: Determining how effective a product is to repel mosquitoes or other flying insects is a difficult task. One approach is using a bioassay with textile fabric. We investigated the role of the textile substrate in the bioassay with a numerical model, and compared with known results for DEET. We next apply the model to determine the effectiveness of textile slow-release formulations bas...

Industrial development worldwide has led to an increase in the amount of wastewater production leading to a considerable decrease in levels and quality of the natural water in the ecosystem. Textile dyes are an important class of pollutants in natural water ecosystem. Textile dyes are molecules designed to impart a permanent colour to textile fabrics. Effluent from textile dyeing units contain ...

Textile forms of solar cells possess special advantages over other types of solar cells, including their light weight, high flexibility, and mechanical robustness. Recent demand for wearable devices has promoted interest in the development of high-efficiency textile-based solar cells for energy suppliers. However, the weaving process occurs under high-friction, high-tension conditions that are ...

Natural ageing process occurs throughout the life cycle of textile products, which may possess influences on the release behavior of additives such as silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). In this study, we assessed the releasability of Ag NPs from a Ag NPs functionalized textile in five different exposure scenarios (i.e. tap water (TW), pond water (PW), rain water (RW), artificial sweat (AS), and det...

Thousands of workers are employed in textile industries under different job categories including dyeing, printing, finishing, cutting, weaving and spinning. The textile industry workers are exposed to a number of chemicals including dyes, solvents, optical brighteners, finishing agents and numerous types of natural and synthetic fibre dusts which affect their health. In this paper an attempt ha...

This review discusses cotton textile processing and methods of treating effluent in the textile industry. Several countries, including India, have introduced strict ecological standards for textile industries. With more stringent controls expected in the future, it is essential that control measures be implemented to minimize effluent problems. Industrial textile processing comprises pretreatme...

Textile plot is a parallel coordinate plot on which the whole location and scales of the axes are simultaneously chosen so that all connecting lines, each of which signifies an observation, are aligned as horizontally as possible. Textile plot can visualise not only numerical data but also ordered or unordered categorical data or the mix of those. Textile plot makes easier for user to understan...

In a Least Developed Country (LDC) like Bangladesh where the textile is the main core of our economy; still there is a major drawback in this sector which is the defect detection of the fabric. In the manual fault detection system with highly trained inspectors, very less percentage of the defects are being detected in upon fabrics in the textile industries. But a real time automatic system can...
