The adsorption of polyalkylene glycols and co-polymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide on substrates relevant to textiles with varying surface energies (cellulose, polypropylene, nylon and polyester) was studied by using quartz crystal microgravimetry. Langmuirian-type isotherms were observed for the adsorption profiles of nonionic block polymers of different architectures. The affinity w...

BACKGROUND Extracellular expression of proteins has an absolute advantage in a large-scale industrial production. In our previous study, Thermobifida fusca cutinase, an enzyme mainly utilized in textile industry, was expressed via type II secretory system in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and it was found that parts of the expressed protein was accumulated in the periplasmic space. Due to the fact...

In this paper, the utilization of common fabrics for manufacturing e-textile metamaterial is investigated. The proposed design based on a transmission line loaded with split-ring resonators (SRRs) cotton substrate filter signal application. provides stop band between 2.7 GHz and 4.7 GHz, considering four stage SRR topology. Experimental results showed levels higher than −30 dB compact embroider...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder which affects millions of population worldwide. Global estimates published in 2010 reported the world diabetic prevalence as 6.4%, affecting 285 million adults. Foot ulceration and wound infection are major forms of disabilities arising from diabetic diseases. This study was aimed to develop a natural antimicrobial finishing on medical grade textile that ...

Abstract The adoption of Additive Manufacturing (AM) has gradually transformed the fashion industry through innovation and technology over last decade. Novel AM systems techniques are continuously being developed, leading to application polymers with textiles fabrics in industry. This work investigates development testing polymer–textile composites using polylactic acid (PLA) filaments on synth...

In the paper the research of flat textile products for use as electrodes was presented. Material’s resistance measurements were carried out to determine the suitability of the textiles. Based on the received results of studies different types of textile electrodes were designed. Textile electrodes tests were carried out on human phantoms. The electro-conductive properties of human forearm phant...

Eco-friendly wet processings of textiles are major concerns of textile producers nowadays to attain high quality products without diversely affecting the environment quality and the enduser health1. Enzymatic processing of textile offers many advantages when compared to traditional chemical methods, namely, enzymes use significantly less water, less energy, and fewer chemicals than traditional ...

Allergic contact dermatitis to textile dyes is considered to be a rare phenomenon. A recent review reported a prevalence of contact allergy to disperse dyes between 0.4 and 6.7%. The relevance of positive patch testing was not reported in all studies. Textile dye allergy is easily overlooked and is furthermore challenging to investigate as textile dyes are not labelled on clothing. In this repo...

In this paper, we aim to provide an overview on textile interfaces in regard to three main aspects: education, applied technologies and ways of interaction. The research in this field is still at an early stage and we find that there are a lot of opportunities for future work. Textile interfaces offer a broad range of advantages to the educational world in terms of engagement, aesthetics and di...
