The key to achieving sustainable development lies in reducing waste, valorizing and adopting conscious consumption. This study aimed evaluate the potential of two by-products from cork industry as natural dyes for textiles. Specifically, cork-cooking wastewater expanded black condensate were tested eco-friendly coloring agents dye cotton (both organic with a surface treatment) wool. After dyein...

The present study is an attempt to isolate and optimize the fermentation conditions of three fungus, namely Trichoderma virens, Alternaria alternata and Curvularia lunata to get pigments for the purpose of textile dyeing. Highest optical density has been achieved in potato dextrose broth at 28oC in 25 days under static conditions. Wool and silk are dyed unmordanted with very good wash and rub f...

In this paper we show how we have applied, in a current project, mobile agent technology to an industrial process in the field of textile manufacturing. The project involves several companies, each of which is a Europe-wide representative of one of the key phases of the textile production process (e.g. spinning, weaving, dyeing, finishing and ready made clothing). The main contribution of this ...

We proposed a novel approach to prepare high-performance continuous regenerated keratin fibers with wool-like structure by using the cortical cells and linear from wool waste as reinforcement adhesive, respectively. The spindle-shaped were taken based on different responses of mesenchyme in treatments H2O2 oxidation ultrasonication. was yielded through dissolving green solution consisting starc...

While dyeing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PETP) fibres in supercritical carbon dioxide is now on its way to be transferred into the textile finishing industry to check the economic efficiency and practicability in an upscaled plant, dyeing of natural fibres such as cotton is still a problem. Within the paper an overview is given about the international stateof-the-art of dyeing technical (a...

The dyeing behaviour of annually renewable soybean protein fibres with Madder, Weld and Walnut seed husk, natural dyes, were investigated and their possible antimicrobial effects were evaluated. The results obtained from the dyeing of the Madder on the soybean fabric were compared with those on a wool fabric. It was shown that the amount of the amino acid content of the fibre has a great effect...
