Textile composites are made by intimately combining two or more different substances each with its own characteristics. Since the physical and mechanical properties of the resultant products are superior to those of the original components, they have found many application fields such as aerospace, automobile, marine construction, sports, defense, and medicine. Textile composites made of 2D...
This article is a review which covers the spectacular technology of microencapsulation; it’s method of preparation, selection of polymeric core shell materials and their uses in broad scale of applications. The methodology of microencapsulation adopted depends on the selection of core and shell ingredients which further depends on the application area. The encapsulation is categorized into...
With growing demands for hygienic and smart textiles, development of multifunctional textile is increasing day-by-day. Researches have been continuously working on such textiles. In this study copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by aqueous precipitation method using different concentrations of CuSO4.5H2O, Na2S2O4 and NaOH, then, characterized by X-Ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and...
Recent years have seen a considerable spread in polymer composite structural materials, which allows the development of alternatives that fulfill technical requirements and methods for improving their mechanical performance. Glass and carbon fibers are being widely used for making composites used in conditions of high loads. While basalt fibers have recently gained attention due to their...
10,12-Pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) monomers were successfully embedded in
poly(Ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) polymer matrix via electrospinning for the first time. The resulting EFM was UV-irradiated to form Polydiacetylene (PDA) polymer within the mat. The PCL/PDA EFM enables colorimetric identification of fake and polluted gasoline in comparison to the pure gasoline. It develops a red color mat in...
Burns wounds are difficult and different when compared with other wounds. The management of burn wounds is divided into three main categories; pain management, infection management and healing. Various commercial products are available to treat and prevent infection in burn patients but, for the management of pain, intravenous (IV) route is preferred which is associated with different...
The effect of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) addition on the tensile and absorption properties of alginate fibers had been reported in the previous research. Great increase in absorbency was observed due to addition of CMC to calcium alginate fibers but were not balanced with mechanical strength. Because, by addition of CMC dry and wet strength of composite fibers was reduced, therefore, a...
Isocoumarins are benzo derivatives of -pyranone (2H-pyran-2-one), a six-membered oxygen heterocyclic compound. These isocoumarins and 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins are secondary metabolites found naturally in a wide variety of fungi, lichens, molds, insects and plants. This class of aromatic lactones has a wide range of industrial and pharmacological applications such as pharmaceutical, food,...
Fabrics with antibacterial assets have become essential to organize and manage the infestation by microbes, and to reduce the formation of odor. The fabrics with antimicrobial finishes are highly hygienic in all dimensions particular, when consumed by human beings. In order to evaluate antimicrobial activity, we have prepared natural and organic extracts from herbs and wastage of fruits like...
Over the last 10 years great research interest has been directed towards antibacterial Nanofibers produced by Electrospinning from natural plant extract. The Cupressus fruits are one of the nonedible fruit which is not utilized for any specific application. In this research extract of Cupressus pods was used to develop Antibacterial Nanofibers as the Cupressus fruits are natural source and...
The comfort performance of car seat is important factor while producing car seats, each layer of the car seat is tested separately on classical testing machines, which lacks the real car seat performance when all layers are sandwiched. The complication of car seat design and the testing method bring a great demand of portable device which can measure the comfort performance of the real car...
Due to their predefined size and shape, nanoparticles have gained much attention for material development in daily life applications. In textile industry, the modifying of conventional textile is required that can alter the entire property of the textiles. Therefore, it was need to develop a fabric which is antimicrobial and self-cleaning as well as protective against UV-irradiation without...
