This article presents a facile approach for the preparation of durable and robust superhydrophobic textiles by simply dip coating in a nanocomposite solution of fluoro-free organosilanes. The superhydrophobic textiles exhibit good water repellency and excellent mechanical, chemical and environmental stability.

In the world today, the need for sustainable processes is increasing. The work of the present thesis has been focused on conversion of the cellulosic part of waste textiles into biogas and ethanol, and its challenges. In 2009, the global annual fiber consumption exceeded 70 Mt, of which around 40% consisted of cellulosic material. This huge amount of fibers is processed into apparel, home texti...

The large number of publications in the field of extraction, purification, modification, and process optimization of natural dyes and their application on textiles demonstrates the revival of natural dyes on textile coloration. The use of natural dyes is growing in popularity because of the quality of the natural dyestuff obtained, the environmental compatibility of the dyes and the substantial...

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 ...

Systems with smart textiles for personal protection are in place, but do not possess good communication links and communication structures. An open, service-oriented communications platform has been set as a goal. Mostly, these systems are based on technologies from a research area and not realize the full potential of available technologies. For this reason, technologies in the sciences, healt...
