Using nickel electrode as dyeing electrode, sodium carbonate fixing alkali and anodic region region, cotton fabric was electrochemically dyed by reactive blue X-BR under external DC power supply. By comparing the rate, fixation polarization curve evenness of two methods, it can be concluded that electrochemical effect on dye is far better than traditional method.

This paper presents the improvement of the antimicrobial character of woven fabrics based on cotton. The woven fabrics were cleaned in oxygen plasma and treated by padding with silver chloride and titanium dioxide particles. The existence of silver and titanium on woven fabrics was evidenced by electronic microscope images (SEM, EDAX) and by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The antimi...

Sodium hydrosulfite is conventionally used for the color stripping of reactive dyes in textile industry. However, research has been focused on eco-friendly processes to reduce wastewater generation recent years. This study aimed at estimating efficacy ozone according dyes’ chromophore groups. The dyed cotton-knitted fabric with three that have phthalocyanine (Reactive blue 21), diazo black 5) a...

This research deals with the synthesis of nanosized copper as colloidal solution and its application to cotton fabric. Copper nano colloids were prepared by chemical reduction of copper salt using sodium borohydride as reducing agent in presence of trisodium citrate. The size and size distribution of the particles were examined by particle size analyzer and the morphology of the synthesized par...

Cotton fiber is an important natural textile fiber due to its exceptional length and thickness. These properties arise largely through primary and secondary cell wall synthesis. The cotton fiber of commerce is a cellulosic secondary wall surrounded by a thin cuticulated primary wall, but there were only sparse details available about the polysaccharides in the fiber cell wall of any cotton spec...

A detailed knowledge of cell wall heterogeneity and complexity is crucial for understanding plant growth and development. One key challenge is to establish links between polysaccharide-rich cell walls and their phenotypic characteristics. It is of particular interest for some plant material, like cotton fibers, which are of both biological and industrial importance. To this end, we attempted to...

inhibitory effect of double-base solid propellants is exerted to control and prevent the burning degree of the exposed area which is due to longer burning time. in this research a composite inhibitor based on cotton fibers/epoxy resin was manufactured by filament winding technique. some flame retardant materials such as antimony trioxide and tetrachlorophthalic anhydride were employed as the co...
