Elastic bands antimicrobial functionalization

Sustainability of textile products encompasses the extension of their useful life period during which they adequately serve their intended purpose. Antimicrobial finishings can prevent microbial damage and extend textile lifespan. Even though the functionalization and characterization processes have been thoroughly described for woven, knitted and non-woven textiles, there is a lack of information regarding ela...

Coated sisal/PET hybrid braided textiles interface behavior into cementitious m...

Intra-ply hybridization of two different braided yarns can enhance flexural and shear strength compared to conventional yarn properties. Hybrid braids offer the potential to reduce costs and boost industrial productivity. An impregnated textile with resin coating exhibits more cohesive behavior, ensuring stress distribution throughout the yarns and preventing a reduction in the composite’s ultimate tensile capa...

Antiviral properties of flame retardant bacterial nanocellulose modified with m...

Current COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the requirement of antiviral properties in a plethora of textile applications. These include textiles used in home areas prone to fire such as kitchens, windows and electronic panel areas, but also in the automotive industry such interior textiles and hood insulation pad covers. Therefore, this work describes the characterization of a fully sustainable textile: bacteria...

Sustainable and multifunctional natural fiber-based electric wire sheaths for s...

Envisioning the development of sustainable products for improvement of daily life quality, a cable-like composite using natural fibers was developed to be potentially used in smart textiles. Natural fibers such as jute and hemp were used along with Bekinox®VN yarn. Bekinox®VN is a stainless steel conductive yarn often used in intelligent textiles within a wide range of applications such as antistatic, power and...

Homewear in Brazil: evolution from 1976 to present

The traditional bride trousseau (homewear) was composed of bedding, table and bath textiles and household utensils that were necessary for her married life. Social changes and technological advances provided a new perspective and proportion for homewear textile sector. This study aimed to analyze the evolution of household linen (bedding, table and bath), from 1976 to 2019, in Brazil, related to composition of ...

The influence of textile materials on flame resistance ratings of professional ...

This study compares the flame speed of different textile materials employed in professional uniforms. Five different garments of aeronauts’ uniforms were analyzed (totaling 200 specimens submitted to flammability tests). Plain weaves and twill weaves composed by 100% CO; 100% PES; 67% PES/33% CO; 50% PES/50% WO; and 55% PES/45%WO were analyzed in the warp and filling directions. The flame speed of each material...

The influence of textile materials on flame speed tests of professional uniforms

This study compares the flame speed of different textile materials employed in professional uniforms. Five different garments of aeronauts’ uniforms were analyzed (totaling 200 specimens submitted to flammability tests).

Homewear in Brazil: evolution from 1976 to present

This study aims to analyze the evolution of household linen (towels, bed and table), from 1976 to present, in Brazil, related to design, textile fibers, textile technology and market importance. Scientific literature and magazines of the area were analyzed, notably “Casa Vogue Brasil” and “Casa Claudia” magazines. It concluded that the classic patterns predominate, especially the flat fabrics, ornamented with e...

A new approach to implement a customized anatomic insole in orthopaedic footwea...

This paper concerns the development of a new approach for orthopaedic footwear to apply in KAFO orthosis (acronym for Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis). This procedure starts with full characterization of the problem with the purpose to characterize a plantar of a patient’s foot with polio. A 3D Scanner was used to collect their feet's data to produce an anatomic insole. After this step, the patient performs a study of...
