This study developed sensory polymeric materials for the colorimetric sensing of TNT in aqueous media. Solid films and coated fabrics permitted the detection of TNT, through colour change, and its quantification, by taking a picture of the materials and processing their RGB parameters to define the evolved colour.

background: according to the recent studies, the antibacterial activities of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) were studied on gram-positive staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative escherichia coli. in this study antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles that used for coating textiles, on e.coli and s.aureus was investigated. methods: silver nanoparticles were coated on textile fabric by corona ...

Antibacterial nonwoven fabrics, incorporated with Ag, have been applied as masks and air conditioner filters to prevent the spread of disease from airborne respiratory pathogens. In this work, we present a comparison study Ag ions: AgCu nanoparticles (NPs) coated onto fabrics intended for use antibacterial filters. We illustrate their color changes durability running in conditioners using activ...

We describe a process to transform commercial textiles and threads into electric heaters that can be cut/sewn or woven to fashion lightweight fabric heaters for local climate control and personal thermal management. Off-the-shelf fabrics are coated with a 1.5 μm thick film of a conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), using an improved reactive vapor deposition method. Changes in t...

Cysteic acid functionalized mineral oxide nanoparticles can be used to impart superhydrophilic performance on a range of woven and non-woven fabrics. Woven fabrics spray dip coated alumina iron based cysteic nanoparticles, were characterized by SEM, EDX the change in water contact angle was measured or where increased hydrophilicity sufficiently great that time for adsorption droplet measured. ...

Abstract In this paper, polypyrrole coated conductive fabrics were prepared using pyrrole as the monomer, p-toluene sulfonic acid doping agent and ammonium persulfate oxidant, adopting simple method of situ polymerization liquid phase. Six types polyester-cotton blended fabrics, nylon wool silk basalt aramid fabric respectively base materials same process conditions; its electrical conductivity...
