... braided scaffolds for ACL reconstruction were fabricated using a circular braiding machine. Furthermore, this study aims to value added on ACL structure with the blended natural extract coating with of Tridax procumbens and chitosan to synergistically enhance wound healing and antibacterial...

...Thanut Jintakosol; Kageeporn Wongpreedee; Walaikorn Nitayaphat Purpose This study aims to develop a biodegradable, water-resistant coating for cotton fabric using wax from pineapple crown waste and chitosan as a natural binder. The goal was to improve fabric performance through an eco-friendly...

... Licensed re-use rights only Cellulosic fibers Cotton Finishing Chitosan Proteins Plasma treatment The pilling propensity of fabric is related to the presence of hairiness on the fabric surface (Wang and Xiao, 2020). Pilling formation on cotton fabric consists of four main stages: fuzz...

...Senthil Kumar Selvaraj; Srimathy B.; Sakthivel S.; Senthil Kumar B. Purpose In the past decade, the biopolymeric properties of chitosan (CH) have been largely exploited for various applications. This paper aims to study the use of CH in its nanoform, i.e. as nanofibers blended with polyvinyl...

... compared to the controls. Biodegradable polymeric materials based on blending aqueous dispersions of natural polymer sodium alginate, Chitosan and rhEGF complex, which allow controlled antiseptic release, are presented. Originality/value These results suggest that silk-based controlled release...

.... Immobilization allows the recovery of enzymes to use them as realistic biocatalyst. This study aims to recover and reuse of α-amylase for desizing of cotton via immobilization. Design/methodology/approach This paper investigates the application of α-amylase immobilized on Chitosan and Eudragit S-100...

...Md. Mofakkharul Islam; Md. Ibrahim H. Mondal; Firoz Ahmed Purpose The purpose of this paper is to synthesize chitosan, N-octyl chitosan (NOCh) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) derivative from prawn shell wastes and identify their applications as modifiers on cellulosic fibres, jute and cotton...

...Mohamed Abd el-moneim Ramadan; Samar Samy; Marwa Abdelhady; Ali Ali Hebeish Incorporation of chitosan in the molecular structure of a cotton surface was effected by two approaches. The first approach involved oxidation of cotton fabric with sodium periodate (NaIO₄) and treatment...

...Hebeish A.A.; N.F. Ali; J.I. Abd El- Thalouth The green synthesis strategy was established for textile finishing, aiming at development of antimicrobial-printed cotton and silk fabrics. The synthesis referred to the treatment of these fabrics with chitosan of low, medium and high molecular weights...

...N.F. Ali; R.S.R.EL. Mohamedy; E.M. El- Khatib Natural dyes extracted from Cassia fistula and onion peels are used to dye wool that is pretreated with chitosan by using tannic acid as a mordant. The effect of the mordant concentration on the color strength (K/S) is discussed. The results obtained...

...Dragan JOCIC The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the possibilities of obtaining “smart” surface modifying systems (SMSs) based on biopolymer chitosan hydrogels, and to discuss the possible problems of obtaining “smart” textile materials by attaching these surface modifying systems...

... of chitosan and polyethylenoxide (PEO) and using the novel continual electrospinning process (Jirsak et al., 2005, www.nanospider.cz) affords a network with typical fiber diameters that are less than 500 nm. Effects of solvents, molecular weight of both polymers, monovalent salt, surfactant...

...Kuo-Shien Huang; Wei-Jang Wu; In-Chun Chao The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of low molecular weight chitosan (LWCS) on the dyeability of cotton fabrics. Various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide were used to degrade chitosan to LWCS, which was used to pretreat cotton...
