... is essential for hygiene, microbial resistance and fabric longevity. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) are recognized for effective antibacterial activity. The purpose of this paper is to improve nanoparticle distribution, adhesion and antibacterial property on selected cotton fabrics. Design/methodology...

... This study evaluated the dyeing performance of 100% ramie and 100% cotton fabrics using red 195, yellow 145 and blue 194 reactive dyes. Dyeing was conducted under controlled conditions, measuring parameters like substantivity (S), exhaustion (E%), fixation (F%) and fixation rate (R) to assess dye...

...Nonsikelelo Sheron Mpofu; Josphat Igadwa Mwasiagi; Cleophas Achisa Mecha; Eric Oyondi Nganyi Purpose This study aims to investigate the potential use of potato peel extracts as antibacterial finishes for cotton fabrics against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Potato...

...Aakanksha Singh; J.N. Chakraborty Purpose This study aims at evaluating the properties of cotton fabric after nanofinishing using zinc oxide and silicon dioxide nanoparticles along with dimethylol dihydroxyethylene urea (DMDHEU). Design/methodology/approach DMDHEU recipes was optimized by Box...

... on the mechanical and frictional properties of the cotton fabric. Design/methodology/approach Cotton-woven fabric is treated with commercial rinse cycle softener repeatedly for 15 times. After treatment, the fabric was evaluated for the changes in mechanical properties using the Kawabata evaluation system...

... in the composite are converted to reactive composite. The reactive composites (N-methylolated [PAam-GG]) were used as pastes for printing cotton fabrics with pigment dye, under a variety of conditions. Variables studied include the amount of binder incorporated into the printing paste and different catalysts...

...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...

...Essam S. Abdel-Halim; Moustafa M.G. Fouda; Sanaa M. El-Sawy; Ibrahim A. Hamdy; Fikry A. Abdel-Mohdy Glycidyl methacrylate/monochlorotriazinyl-β-cyclodextrin mixture (GMA/MCT-β-CD) is grafted onto cotton fabric by an irradiation technique that uses linear electron beam radiation for initiating...

...Shahid Adeel; Ijaz A. Bhatti; K. EL-Nagar; M. Mohboob Alam; Nagia Ali The rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. which contains curcumin, the main coloring component that imparts a yellow color onto cotton fabric, has been selected for study in this paper. The extracts are obtained by using different...

...Sajida Perveen; Ijaz Ahmad Bhatti; Shahid Adeel Pomegranate (Punica granatum), which contains tannins as the main colouring component in the rind that imparts a yellowish brown colour on cotton fabric, has been selected and extracted through the use of water, methanol and ethanol...

...A. Awal; S.B. Ghosh; M. Rana; R.D. Hund; V. Rossbach Temporary surface modifications of cotton fabrics with different water repellent agents by wet chemical treatments were examined. The hydrophobicity of the treated substrates was determined by contact angle. The results show that the cotton...

...-phosphonopropianamide (IV) is prepared via Mecheal addition reaction of diethylphosphite with AAm followed by reaction with HCHO. To impact flame-retardancy and easy care finishing to cotton fabric aqueous formulations of compound IV, etherified methylolated melamine (EMM) and/or compounds III, II or I have been...

...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...
