AB  - Poor antimicrobial activity and lack of protection against UV irradiation are weaknesses of cottontextiles. In an attempt to impart superior antimicrobial and UV-protective properties to cotton, layer-by-layer deposition of chitosan and magnesium lignosulfonate, and in situ synthesis of silver (Ag)nanoparticles (NPs), was performed. Lignin, in a chitosan/lignin multilayer, simultaneously acts as a UVprotective macromolecule and natural reducing and stabilizing agent, allowing formation of Ag NPs. Fourbilayers of this coating is sufficient for fabrication of a chitosan/lignin/Ag-NP textile nanocompositetreatment with 50+ UV protection. 100% reduction of Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, and yeast Candida albicans can be achieved with a 12-bilayercoating, when 20 mM silver nitrate solution and sodium borohydride are applied. On the other hand,four bilayers impregnated with Ag NPs, using 10 mM silver nitrate solution, provides sufficientantimicrobial activity independent of an added reducing agent. This treatment exhibits no inhibition ofhuman keratinocyte cells growth on the skin, indicating low cytotoxicity.

AB  - Intensified oil exploitation accompanied with frequent oil spills having a detrimental impact on ecosystems are seeking efficient, environmentally and economically feasible solutions. In an attempt to develop an efficient, reusable, biodegradable and cheap sorbent for oil clean-up non-woven sorbents based on recycled jute post-industrial textile waste were fabricated. The influence of area density of non-woven sorbents and hydrophobicity of fibers on overall oil sorption performance was the focus of this research. All sorbents showed a good reusability after five sorption cycles and buoyancy in water even after 24 h independently of sorbent structure. The area density of sorbents and viscosity of studied oils (crude oil, diesel oil and two types of motor oils) highly affected the oil sorption capacity and oil retention. The sorbent with the lowest area density exhibited the best oil sorption performance. The esterification of jute with stearic fatty acid contributed to decrease in water uptake of sorbents but also to negligible change of oil sorption behavior indicating that the structure of the sorbent in this case plays a crucial role.

AB  - Loose assemblies of cellulose fibers could be employed in the clean-up of oil spills, but the difficulty to separate them from the spill after use makes them impractical. In an effort to tackle this issue, a non-woven sorbent based on recycled jute fibers from the carpet industry was developed. To enhance the porosity and hydrophobicity/oleophilicity of the sorbent, carbonization in an inert atmosphere was carried out. A comparison in oil sorption performance between non-carbonized and carbonized sorbents was made by evaluating the oil capacity in a water medium, buoyancy, oil retention and reusability. Carbonization of sorbent resulted in more than doubled oil sorption capacity independent of oil viscosity. Oil viscosity did not affect the oil sorption capacity of non-carbonized sorbent. Carbonized sorbent showed superior buoyancy in water even after 24 hours, oil retention of approximately 60–80% after 3 hours and only 12–20% decline of oil sorption capacity after five repeated sorption/desorption trials. However, the ability of oiled non-carbonized sorbent to efficiently biodegrade in model compost (up to 45% weight loss after 10 weeks) makes it a sustainable candidate for oil spill clean-up.

AB  - The flammability of polyester textiles remains a significant challenge that must be overcome to allow their use in a variety of clothing and upholstery applications. In this work, water-based polyelectrolyte solutions composed of chitosan (CH) and pectin (P), as carbon-rich biomacromolecules, and mono ammonium phosphate (MAP) were deposited on enzyme/corona modified polyester via layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition. Four bilayers (BL) of 1% CH3/(1% P-30% MAP)4.2 renders the polyester fabric self-extinguishing in vertical flame testing. This recipe yields a 42.6% lower peak heat release rate and a nearly 40% reduction in the fire growth capacity, compared to uncoated polyester, as measured by micro cone calorimetry. The enzyme/corona modification, combined with the CH/(P-MAP) intumescent system, results in a very effective flame retardant treatment with few BL deposited.

AB  - he demand for clothes with antimicrobial and UV protective properties is continually growing. In an attempt to develop a simple and efficient treatment for cotton fabrics, layer-by-layer deposition of chitosan and magnesium lignosulfonate followed by in situ synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) was performed. Magnesium lignosulfonate acts as a stabilizing agent and UV blocker while NaBH4 is applied as a reducing agent. The influence of the number of bilayers (4 and 12) and the initial concentration of AgNO3 solution (10 mM and 20 mM) on UV protection factor (UPF) and antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Grampositive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and yeast Candida albicans was studied. The presence of nanocoating on the surface of cotton fabric is confirmed by FTIR and XPS analyses. XPS and FESEM analyses reveal a successful synthesis of Ag NPs on the surface of cotton fibers with an average dimension of 35 nm. A four bilayer coating is sufficient to reach maximum 50+ UV protection. Maximum reduction of all investigated microorganisms is achieved with 12 bilayers and application of 20 mM AgNO3 solution.

AB  - The aim of this study was to develop antimicrobial nanocomposite textile material comprising of Cu-based nanostructures synthesized on oxidized cotton fabric using Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng., Ericaceae (bearberry leaves) as a green reducing agent for adsorbed Cu2+-ions. In order to provide sufficient number of carboxyl groups for complexation with Cu2+-ions a two-step oxidation process with NaIO4 and NaClO2 was carried out. The influence of NaIO4 concentration on content of carboxyl groups and Cu-based nanoparticles was studied by FTIR and AAS. HPLC analysis identified the gallic acid known as a reducing agent in bearberry leaves extract. FESEM and XRD analyses revealed that using bearberry leaves extract and gallic acid solution as reducing agents led to a formation of spherical Cu2O/CuO nanoparticles and CuO nanosheets, respectively. These nanoparticles and nanosheets provided excellent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Cytotoxicity on human keratinocyte cells was shown to depend on their copper content.

AB  - Creating multifunctional textiles using chemicals from renewable sources is challenging. In an effort to develop a sustainable and efficient multifunctional cotton treatment, a lignin-based multilayer nanocoating comprising magnesium lignosulfonate, chitosan, and monoammonium phosphate (MAP) was deposited using layer-by-layer assembly. A five bilayer coating adds 15.5 wt % to cotton and imparts fire extinguishing behavior and excellent UV and antimicrobial protection to the fabric. Just a two bilayer coating imparts sufficient self-extinguishing behavior to pass the standard vertical flame test. The combined influence of lignin as a char-forming and UV-protective macromolecule, chitosan as a char-forming biopolymer, and MAP acting as an antimicrobial agent (and a blowing agent and an acid source in an intumescent flame retardant system) results in a very powerful multifunctional textile treatment with very few layers of deposition.

AB  - The aim of this study was to fabricate novel antimicrobial nanocomposite materials by in-situ syntheses of Cu-based nanoparticles on PET and PA fabrics. The synthesis comprised three steps: (i) modification of PET and PA fabrics with biopolymer alginate in order to improve uptake of Cu2+-ions, (ii) sorption of Cu2+-ions from the solution of precursor salt and (iii) reduction of adsorbed Cu2+-ions in an alkaline solution of sodium borohydride. The influence of concentration of alginate and copper(II) sulphate solutions on Cu2+-ions uptake and total copper content after reduction was evaluated. The presence of Cu-based nanoparticles was proved by FESEM and XRD analysis. XRD analysis revealed the presence of CuO and Cu2O on the PET and PA fibers, respectively. Larger amounts of mostly agglomerated nanoparticles were detected on PET fiber surface than on the PA fiber surface. This observation is in line with results of AAS measurements confirming that the total content of Cu on the PET fabric was nearly 30% higher compared to PA fabric. Nanocomposite containing PET fibers provided excellent antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and yeast C. albicans. On the other hand, nanocomposite comprising PA fibers ensured maximum antibacterial and fungistatic activities.

AB  - Present paper demonstrates design and characterization of a textile based microfluidic chip sensor for the detection of milk adulteration through measuring the real part of the impedance and impedance phase angle. Polyamide (PA) based textile fabric was chemically functionalized with polyaniline and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (PANI/TiO2) nanocomposite and embedded in the microfluidic chip. Prototyping of microfluidic chip was performed by xurography and hot lamination using polyvinyl chloride foils. Morphological and chemical properties of fabricated textile-based PA-PANI/TiO2 chip sensor were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Quality of milk was accessed with fabricated textile sensor using cow and goat milk samples. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied to detect the change in resistance and phase angle of pure and diluted milk. The developed PA-PANI/TiO2 chip sensor acted as a variable resistor that was able to identify adulterations and spoilage of the milk samples with sensitivity of 0.06 degrees of phase angle variation per % of water dilution. Our work promises that application of textile electronics could be efficiently exploited for food safety, point-of-care and environment monitoring applications.

AB  - A novel impregnation process for the fabrication of cotton nanocomposite with strong antimicrobial activity against antibiotics-resistant bacteria and yeast was developed. The impregnation process includes the sol–gel treatment of fabric with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane in the first step, and synthesis of the CuO/Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) on the fabric surface in the second step. The in situ synthesis of the CuO/Cu2O NPs was based on the adsorption of Cu2+-ions by the introduced amino groups of the sol–gel coating. The adsorbed Cu2+-ions are subsequently reduced in the alkaline solution of NaBH4. X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed the formation of CuO/Cu2O NPs. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic absorption spectrometry analyses indicate that the particle size, agglomeration, and amounts of synthesized NPs were highly affected by the initial concentration of CuSO4 solution. The toxicity of nanocomposites to human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, E. coli ATCC BAA 2469, and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC BAA 2146, and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, S. aureus ATCC 43300 and yeast Candida albicans ATCC 24433 strongly depended on the copper content. In addition to excellent antimicrobial activity, controlled release of Cu2+-ions from the fabrics into physiological saline solution was obtained. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB  - The objective of this study was to develop novel antimicrobial nanocomposite material based on polypropylene (PP) non-woven fabric, biopolymer alginate and copper oxides nanoparticles. In order to introduce polar groups onto the surface of PP fibers necessary for binding of alginate, non-woven fabric was activated by corona discharge. Carboxylate groups of alginate were further utilized for binding of Cu2+-ions which were reduced with sodium borohydride as a conventional and ascorbic acid as a green reducing agent. Characteristic morphological and chemical changes induced by corona activation and alginate impregnation were confirmed by FTIR, XPS and FESEM analyses. AAS measurements showed that the amounts of generated nanoparticles depend on applied reducing agent and the concentration of precursor salt. XPS analysis suggested that nanoparticles were mixture of copper (I) and (II) oxides. XPS depth profiling gave an exceptional insight into chemical changes within the thin layer on the fiber surface and formation of certain interfaces induced by each treatment. All fabricated nanocomposites provided excellent antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and yeast C. albicans. The cytotoxicity assay indicated that maximum amount of Cu2+-ions released from synthetized nanocomposite within 24 h was not cytotoxic to human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells.

Total polyphenols, total flavonoids, total monomeric anthocyanins, trans-resveratrol concentration, radical scavenging ability using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and total antioxidant capacity with TEAC and FRAP methods were measured. The average contents of the compounds determined for Regent wines were comparable to the respective data available in literature found for warm-climate wines. Correspondence Analysis of the data revealed the relation of total polyphenols content and antioxidant capacity and radical scavenging ability of studied wines, and in lesser extent correlation with total flavonoids content. The total monomeric anthocyanins content and resveratrol concentration were poorly related to the total polyphenols content and antioxidant capacity.

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of fabrication of textile nanocomposites with antimicrobial activity against antibiotics-resistant bacterial strains and yeast. Modification of cotton fabric with oxalic acid solutions of different concentrations provided free carboxyl groups for binding of Cu2+ -ions from copper (II) sulfate solution which were further reduced with sodium borohydride in alkaline solution.

AB  - This study discusses a novel approach for fabrication of floating photocatalyst which can be efficiently exploited for photodegradation of dyes in aqueous solutions. A fabrication of the floating photocatalyst consisted of two steps: transformation of the poly(ε-caprolactone) beads (PCLb) into poly(ε-caprolactone) foam (PCLf) with porous structure in supercritical carbon-dioxide and subsequent loading of PCLf with TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). Morphological characterization of the PCLf before and after TiO2 NPs loading was carried out by FESEM. The presence of titanium on the surface and inside the PCLf was detected by EDX. Photocatalytical activity of the floating photocatalyst was investigated in aqueous solution of textile dyes C.I. Acid Orange 7 (AO7) and C.I. Basic Yellow 28 (BY28) which were exposed to lamp that simulates the sun light. In addition to sustainable floatability for a long period of time, developed floating photocatalyst exhibited high rate of photodegradation since the complete discoloration of AO7 and BY28 solutions and photocatalysts alone occurred after 300 and 180 min of illumination, respectively. Its photocatalytic activity was preserved after three repeated photodegradation cycles with unchanged chemical structure that was confirmed by FTIR analysis.

AB  - The fabrication of antimicrobial textile nanocomposite by in situ synthesis of Cu-based nanoparticles on cotton fabrics modified with different polycarboxylic acids was discussed in this study. In order to evaluate the influence of carboxyl group content on Cu2+-ions adsorption, their subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride and formation of Cu-based nanoparticles, cotton fabrics were modified with succinic, citric and 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acids. It was shown that the larger the number of carboxyl groups in applied acid, the larger the content of free carboxyl groups on the fibers and consequently, the larger the Cu2+-ions uptake and total amounts of Cu-based nanoparticles. On the basis of the XPS and XRD measurements, it was suggested that synthesized nanoparticles were mixture of Cu2O and CuO. Fabricated nanocomposites provided maximum reduction of Gram-negative bacterium E. coli and Gram-positive bacterium S. aureus and controlled release of Cu2+-ions in physiological saline solution which are necessary prerequisites for infection prevention.

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of immobilization of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) onto poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) beads and foams that could be utilized for the removal of textile dyes from water by photodegradation. PCL foams were fabricated by environmentally friendly treatment of PCL beads in supercritical carbon dioxide. PCL beads and foams loaded with colloidal TiO2 NPs were used as photocatalysts for the removal of the textile dyes C.I. Acid Orange 7 and C.I. Basic Yellow 28 from aqueous solutions (10 mg L-1) under illumination that simulated sunlight. Unlike the PCL beads, the PCL foams provided complete discoloration of the dye solution within 24 h of illumination. The PCL foams also exhibited excellent floatability that was maintained for more than four weeks. Additionally, their photocatalytic activity was preserved within three repeated photodegradation cycles, indicating that the floating photocatalyst provided superior photocatalytic activity compared to the non-floating PCL beads.

AB  - In situ synthesis of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles on the cotton fabric discussed in this study relies on adsorption of Cu2+-ions by carboxylate groups generated through the TEMPO-mediated oxidation of cellulose and their subsequent reduction by sodium borohydride. In order to establish the influence of aldehyde and carboxylate groups on the nanoparticles formation, the duration of TEMPO-mediated oxidation was varied. Chemical changes induced by TEMPO-mediated oxidation were evaluated by titrimetric determination of the amounts of aldehyde and carboxylic groups in cotton and FTIR spectroscopy. The presence of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles on the cotton fabric was confirmed by FE-SEM, AAS and XRD analyses. Antimicrobial activity of synthesized nanoparticles was tested against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and fungi C. albicans. The extension of TEMPO oxidation time led to an increase of carboxylate group content and consequently, formation of larger amounts of Cu/Cu2O nanoparticles. All fabricated textile nanocomposites provided excellent antibacterial and acceptable antifungal activity. They also ensured a controlled release of Cu2+-ions in physiological solution which is an imperative for infection prevention.

AB  - This study discusses the effect of corona pre-treatment at atmospheric pressure and subsequent loading of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles on the biodegradation behavior of cotton fabric. Biodegradation performance of the control and finished samples was evaluated by standard soil burial tests in predetermined periods of 3, 9 and 18 days. Color and breaking strength measurements were utilized for assessment of biodegradation progress. Morphological and chemical changes induced by biodegradation were analysed by SEM and FT-IR analyses, respectively. Colorimetric, morphological and chemical changes induced by the biodegradation process were slightly less prominent on corona pre-treated cotton fabric impregnated with TiO2 nanoparticles compared to corona treated and control cotton fabric. Although the breaking strength of all samples significantly decreased after 18 days of soil burial, this decline was the least evident on the sample impregnated with TiO2 nanoparticles. However, taking into account the extent of these differences, the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on biodegradation rate of cotton fabric, which underwent a combined treatment corona/impregnation with TiO2 nanoparticles, could be considered as insignificant. These results confirm that chemical modification of cotton fabrics with plasma and subsequent loading of TiO2 still maintained sustainability of cellulose fibres.

Biodegradation performance of the control and finished samples was evaluated by standard soil burial tests in predetermined periods of 3, 9 and 18 days. Color and breaking strength measurements were utilized for assessment of biodegradation progress. Morphological and chemical changes induced by biodegradation were analysed by SEM and FT-IR analyses, respectively. Colorimetric, morphological and chemical changes induced by the biodegradation process were slightly less prominent on corona pre-treated cotton fabric impregnated with TiO2 nanoparticles compared to corona treated and control cotton fabric.

AB  - This study discusses the possibility of in situ photoreduction of Ag+-ions on the surface of titania nanotubes (TNTs) deposited on the cotton and cotton/PET fabrics in the presence of amino acid alanine and methyl alcohol. TNTs were synthetized by hydrothermal method. The proposed interaction between titania, alanine and Ag+-ions was based on the results obtained by FTIR measurements. In order to enhance the binding efficiency between TNTs and fibers, the fabrics were previously impregnated with polyethyleneimine. The presence of TNT/Ag nanocrystals on the surface of fibers was proved by SEM, AAS, XRD and XPS. Larger amount of silver was detected on the cotton fabric. Fabricated TiO2/Ag nanocrystals provided maximum reduction of bacteria E. coli which was preserved after five washing cycles despite significant release of silver. The perspiration fastness tests indicated that silver release did not depend on pH. The presence of TNT/Ag nanocrystals imparted maximum UV protection to fabrics.

AB  - This study discusses the biodegradation behavior of cotton and cotton/PET fabrics impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles in soil. Biodegradation behavior was evaluated by standard test method ASTM 5988-03 based on determination of percentage conversions of carbon content to CO2 as well as by soil burial test and enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase where the extent of biodegradation was estimated by the calculation of fabric weight loss. The morphological and chemical changes of fibers during biodegradation process were analyzed by SEM and FTIR spectroscopy, respectively. The results obtained by all applied methods suggested that Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles hindered the biodegradation of investigated cotton and cotton/PET fabrics. Soil burial test indicated faster biodegradation of the impregnated blend compared to impregnated cotton fabric which is attributed to smaller amount of fabricated Ag nanoparticles on the blend proved by MS measurement. Similar trend was established by enzymatic hydrolysis of cotton fibers. Severe damage of cotton fibers in both fabrics due to biodegradation process was confirmed by SEM. However, the cotton fiber damage occurred to a lesser extent in the samples that were impregnated with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles. PET fibers remained intact which was also indicated by FTIR analysis.

AB  - The present paper deals with removal and photocatalytic degradation of the textile dyes by TiO2 nanoparticles immobilized onto chitosan-based microparticles. The microparticles composed of chitosan (Ch) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) were fabricated for the first time by inverse suspension polymerization. They were utilized for colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles immobilization, synthetized by acidic hydrolysis of TiCl4. To evaluate the potential application of Ch/PMA/TiO2 microparticles for treatment of textile wastwaters, their photocatalytic activity was examined by degradation assessment of three different groups of anionic azo dyes in aqueous solutions under solar light simulating source. FTIR analysis revealed that Ch and PMA were incorporated in the polymer network. SEM and optical microscopy confirmed their spherical shape. Under illumination, Ch/PMA/TiO2 microparticles completely removed dyes C.I. Acid Orange 7, C.I. Acid Red 18, C.I. Acid Blue 113, C.I. Reactive Black 5, C.I. Direct Blue 78, while removal degree of C.I. Reactive Yellow 17 was 75%. It was found that pH had significant influence on the photocatalytic activity of Ch/PMA/TiO2 microparticles. Increase of solution pH from acidic to alkaline, lead to decrease in photodegradation rate of C.I. Acid Orange 7 during the first hours of illumination. After three illumination cycles, removal degree of C.I. Acid Orange 7 was maintained at remarkably high level (95% at pH 5.60 and 100% at pH 2.00 and 8.00), indicating that microparticles could be reused without significant loss of photocatalytic efficiency.

AB  - An interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) based on the sodium alginate (A) and partially neutralized poly(methacrylic acid) (MAA) was prepared by free radical polymerization followed by additional cross-linking of sodium alginate with calcium ions. Obtained material (A/MAA IPN) was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and rheological measurements. Swelling behavior of synthetized IPN has been also investigated. TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were immobilized onto A/MAA IPN by dip-coating method and obtained TiO2/IPN nanocomposite was used for removal of the methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The photodegradation (under illumination) and sorption (in the dark) processes for dye removal were monitored through decrease of dye concentration in the solution by UV/VIS spectrometer. The TiO2/IPN nanocomposite sorbed approximately 93% of the MB from a 10 mg L-1 MB solution in the dark, but no degradation occurred. Likewise, more than 93% of dye was removed after 8 h of illumination. However, after 24 h of illumination, the samples were discolored indicating that dye molecules were successfully degraded. Thus, the TiO2/IPN nanocomposite could be utilized in the photodegradation-sorption process for the abatement of pollutants in water. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 55:2511-2518, 2015.

AB  - Polyester fibers gained significant share from all other man-made fibers, but despite numerous advantages a characteristic static electricity generation is still seeking innovative solutions. In order to improve electrical properties of poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET) fabric, coating consisting of polyaniline/TiO2 (PANI/TiO2) nanocomposite was deposited on its surface. Coating was synthesized in acidic medium by the chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline with ammonium peroxydisulfate CAPS) in the presence of colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles (d similar to 4.5 nm) and PET fabric. The morphology, molecular structure and dielectric properties of PANI/TiO2 nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman and dielectric spectroscopies. SEM analysis revealed the formation of non-uniform PANI coating on the reference PET sample. In contrast, uniform PANI/TiO2 coating on the surface of PET fabric was generated when TiO2 nanoparticles were engaged. The existence of conductive emeraldine salt form of PANI and phenazine units was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Formation mechanisms of PANI and PANI/TiO2 coatings on PET fabrics were proposed. The presence of TiO2 nanoparticles significantly affected the dielectric properties (permittivity and loss tangent) and AC conductivity of PANI/TiO2 coated PET fabrics. PET fabrics coated by PANI/TiO2 nanocomposite showed up to two orders of magnitude higher conductivity in the measured frequency region compared to PANI coated PET fabric. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
