Process optimization of Aerva lanata extract treated textile material for microbial resistance in healthcare textiles

The focus of the present research work is on evaluation of the antimicrobial finished textile material from the extract of Aerva lanata plant and optimization of process parameters to get the maximum antimicrobial efficiency. The microencapsulated extracts of Aerva lanata plant (leaves and stalk) using citric acid as a cross linking agent were applied on plain-woven cotton fabric by pad-dry-cure method. The Aerva lanata extract treated fabric samples were tested for antibacterial activity against bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli under Agar diffusion test and AATCC 100–2004. It is observed that the treated cotton fabric shows a clear microbial resistance of about 19–25 mm zone of inhibition in the agar diffusion test against the above-mentioned bacterial strains. The treated samples showed 80 % of reduction against Staphylococcus aureus and 70 % reduction against Escherichia coli as per AATCC (100–2004). Process parameters like concentration of extract, citric acid and curing temperature were optimized using Box-Behnken design for better performance of antimicrobial treated material. The optimum values of 21.14 % extract concentration, 2.39 % crosslinking agent and 101.2 °C curing temperature were determined.     

Synthesis of core-shell fluorinated acrylate copolymers and its application as finishing agent for textile

Core-shell fluorinated acrylate copolymers emulsion was thus synthesized via the core-shell emulsion polymerization with the fluorinated monomers and acrylic monomers as the main raw materials and its properties were studied. PFMA, the fluorinated acrylate monomers, was synthesized by the esterification of perfluorooctanoyl chloride (PFOC) and hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA). Then the core-shell fluorinated acrylate copolymers emulsion with a poly(MMA/BA/St) core and a poly(PFMA/MMA/BA) shell was synthesized via a starved semi-continuous core-shell emulsion polymerization method by using KPS and sodium bicarbonate as the initiator/buffer system and SDS/Twain 80 as the commixture emulsifier. Lastly, the synthesized copolymers was applied as textile finishing agent for cotton textile. The results of FT-IR and NMR indicated that PFMA had been synthesized as expected and effectively combined in the emulsion copolymerization. The GPC, zeta potential, TEM and DSC showed that the particles had uniform spherical core-shell structure with a diameter of 65-150 nm, and the distribution and emulsion stability was satisfactory. As XPS, FESEM and AFM shown, a hydrophobic structure which was similar to the structure of the lotus leaf were formed and the surface hydrophobicity of the films can be improved. Based on the analysis of DSC, thermal stabilities of the films were enhanced with the increase of fluorine content. Besides, FESEM of textiles showed that the surface of treated textiles were smooth and the edges were clear and visible, indicating significant improvement of the performance on water and oil repellent.     

A study on combining natural dyes and environmentally-friendly mordant to improve color strength and ultraviolet protection of textiles

In this study, natural dyes were extracted from five plants, namely diospyros kaki, dioscorea cirrhosa, millettia (jixueteng), ecliptae, and macrocarpa nucuma, using environmentally-friendly solvents, including ethanol and deionized (DI) water. A plant mordant, tannin extracted from Emblica officinalis G., and a metal mordant, copper sulfate, were used in the pre-dyeing process. Cotton and silk fabric samples were treated using the five natural dyes without and with mordanting for comparison on their color strength and characteristics as well as protection against ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Results revealed that Emblica officinalis G. had the highest total phenol content, followed by dioscorea cirrhosa. The presence of abundant phenolic groups in the natural dyes and mordant makes them effective coloration agents for fabrics. Cotton and silk fabrics dyed using ecliptae without pre-mordanting had the highest K/S values. Silk fabrics had higher K/S values than cotton fabrics, indicating greater color strength in pre-mordanted silk treated with DI water-extracted dyes. Natural mordant used before treatment with natural dyes contribute to significant enhancement in color strength, and Emblica officinalis G. alone could darken the color of cotton and silk fabrics dyed with plant pigment. Moreover, treatment with natural dyes after mordanting can increase ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) and the enhancement in UVR protection is greater and more significant in cotton fabrics than in silk fabrics, and in fabrics treated with DI water-extracted natural dyes than in those treated with ethanol-extracted ones. In conclusion, pre-dyeing with natural mordant followed by treatment with natural dyes extracted using environmentally-friendly solvents can enhance significantly K/S and UPF, offering directions for manufacturing textiles without environmental hazards but with good appearance and health benefits.     

Selection of raw materials in textile spinning industry using fuzzy multi-criteria decision making approach

Selection of raw materials in textile spinning industry is a multi-criteria decision making problem. It is a decision of strategic importance as textile is a typical high volume but low profit industry. The nature of raw material selection decision, in most of the cases, is very crude and unstructured. Therefore, advanced decision science techniques might be useful for solving such kind of intricate problems. The inability of common decision making methods to handle imprecision and uncertainty, make them inapt in situations which involves fuzzy information. However, fuzzy decision making techniques can elicit reasonable and logical solutions in these situations. This paper presents the use of fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to select the raw materials (cotton fibres) for the textile spinning industries. The results indicate that the fuzzy AHP can quantitatively translate the imprecise perception of the decision maker and yield better results than some of the traditional raw material selection methods used in the textile industry.     

Investigation of the stripping process of the reactive dyes using organic sulphur reducing agents in alkali condition

This paper focuses on the stripping application of the reactive dyes using different recipes set up with different reducing agents and working parameters. We tried to develop alternative stripping methods using two kinds of thioureadioxide because of several disadvantages of sodium dithionite. The pretreated woven fabrics were dyed at 0.25%, 1%, 4% owf% using five commercial reactive dyes by exhaust method. Totally, 180 specimens were dyed. Then, these specimens were stripped using alternative recipes. In these recipes, we investigated the effects of types of the reducing agents, the concentration of the reducing agents and caustic, process temperature and the presence of leveling agent on the stripping efficiency. In order to examine the efficiency of the stripping processes, we measured the colorimetric values (L*, ΔL, ΔE) of pretreated, dyed and the stripped samples using commercial spectrophotometer and international measurement method. The experimental results were statistically evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with significance level ofα=0.05. According to the measured and calculated spectral results, we achieved to develop alternative methods using thioureadioxide instead of sodium dithionite. In terms of ANOVA, we found out that only concentration of caustic itself did not have significant effects on the efficiency of stripping.     

Carbon footprint reduction in the textile process chain: Recycling of textile materials

It is an important task of people connected with the textiles and clothing sector to work on the feasible ways to trim down the carbon footprint in each phase of a textile product??s life cycle. One of the possible ways to decipher the reduction of carbon footprint of textiles and clothing sector is to recycle the textile process waste and also to recycle at the end-of-life of textile products and these aspects are exemplified in this paper in detail. Detailed investigation of the possibilities, barriers, challenges to recycle textile waste materials are discussed in this paper with relevant case studies. For recycling of process waste, an example was modelled by recycling the process waste and the carbon footprint results were demonstrated with the aid of 7.3 version of SIMAPRO LCA (Life cycle assessment) software. From the results of this case study, it was understood that recycling of process waste would contribute to the direct reduction of carbon footprint. For the second case of recycling at the end-of-life, there are many barriers and challenges to the textile products to be recycled, which are discussed in detail. For this case, two hypothetical situations were defined and the carbon footprint results of them were modeled and demonstrated with the aid of 7.3 version of SIMAPRO software to illustrate the benefits of recycling to reduce the carbon footprint. Designers need to conisder, ??Ecological Design?? in design phase to address most of the difficulties faced by recycling of textile products at the end-of-life, which will of certain help to reduce the carbon footprint of the textile products.     

Preparation and antibacterial property of the mulberry based textiles

The mulberry based textile products were prepared by means of degumming, dyeing, spinning and weaving using mulberry bark as raw materials. The structure of the mulberry based textiles was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The antibacterial property of the mulberry fibers was evaluated by means of antibacterial testing, and the antibacterial composition in the mulberry based textiles was investigated by FTIR and ¹³C-NMR. The results show that the mulberry based fibers, dyed fibers, yarns and fabrics with high quality can be prepared successfully by the above processes. The mulberry based textiles have excellent antibacterial property. The inhibitory rate of raw mulberry bark on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus is (67.2±3.1)% and (53.8±4.6)% respectively, and the inhibitory rate of mulberry fiber on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus is both above 80%. The inhibitory rate of the mulberry/cotton blended yarn on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ranges from (51.7±5.1)% to (72.4±4.1)%, which has similar inhibitory rate with the mulberry/cotton blended fabric. The results of Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) and ¹³C-nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C-NMR) show that the typical functional group (hydroxyl, carbonyl, double bond and epoxy bond) exist in the composition of the mulberry fiber, which indicates that the flavones and phenolic compounds including in the mulberry fiber.     

Antibacterial activity and phytochemical study of six medicinal plants used in Benin

The ethanol extracts obtained from Psidium guajava, Flacourtia flavescens Boswellia dalzielii, Ficus exasperata, Pavetta corymbosa and Hybanthus enneaspermus, six species traditionally used in Benin to treat several infectious diseases, were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Enteroccocus feacalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The minimum inhibitory concentration of extracts was determinate using the microplate dilution method. The presence of major phytoconstituents was detected qualitatively. The diphenylpicrylhydrazine radical scavenging activity was also performed. The extracts exhibited antibacterial activities against the tested bacteria. Boswellia dalzielii, Psidium guayava, Pavetta corymbosa and Flacourtia flavescens exibited the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration values (0.313-2.5 mg mL(-1)). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the lest sensitive microorganism with MIC values higher than 10 mg mL(-1). In antioxidant assay the crude extracts of B. dalzielii and P. corymbosa appeared to be as potent as quercetol with an inhibition percentage of 83 and 75.3% at 10 microg mL(-1) which is comparable to 75.9% for quercetol at the same concentration.     

Azocalix[4]pyrrole dyes: Application in dyeing of fibers and their antimicrobial activity

The dyeing performance of the azocalix[4]pyrrole dyes on fibers like nylon, wool, acrylic, and silk have been determined. Their fastness properties towards light, water, washing, and acid-alkali perspiration have been studied. The position of color in CIELAB coordinates (L*, a*, b*, H, and C*) was assessed. The azocalix[4]pyrrole demonstrated good antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Aspergillus niger. These super molecules exhibit bright shades on fabric with very good fastness properties.     

Antimicrobial properties of chitosan nanoparticles: Mode of action and factors affecting activity

The present investigation describes the synthesis and characterization of novel biodegradable nanoparticles based on chitosan for biomedical applications. The presence of primary amine groups in repeating units of chitosan grants it several properties like antibacterial activity, antitumor activity and so on. Chitosan forms nanoparticles spontaneously on the addition of polyanion tripolyphosphate which has greater antimicrobial activity than parent chitosan. In the present study, chitosan nanoparticles (ChNP) were prepared by the ionic gelation method. The physiochemical characteristics of nanoparticles were analyzed using XRD, SEM, FTIR. The antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles against medical pathogens Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated by calculation of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and compared with chitosan and chitin activity. The mode of action and factors affecting antibacterial activity were also analyzed. ChNP compounds exhibited superior antimicrobial activity against all microorganisms in comparison with chitosan and chitin. The antibiofilm activity was studied using crystal violet assay and growth on congo red agar. The study is thus a good demonstration of the applicability of chitosan nanoparticles as an effective antimicrobial agent with antibiofilm activity as well.     

Efficacy research of electrocardiogram and heart rate measurement in accordance with the structure of the textile electrodes

Recently, the demand for 24-hour biological signal monitoring in various fields such as health care and sports is increasing rapidly because of lifestyle changes and increasing interests in health. Thus, the field of clothing for continuous monitoring of biological signals is again illuminated increasing the market. However, smart clothing used to monitor biological signals has disadvantages affecting the motion artifact which are due to movements of the human body, so studies for minimizing motion artifact is underway from various angles. In this research, we configured the structure of the textile electrodes can be applied inside of the clothing, of the flat type and the three-dimensional type, and tried to derive the electrocardiogram and the structure of the suitable structure to measure the heart rate through measuring and comparing the electrocardiogram signal and the heart rate accuracy by structure. For this process, the heart rate accuracy and electrocardiogram signals of 8 men, with a standard body shape in their twenties, were measured and analyzed when walking and standing. At this time, the subjects were wearing clothes in which three-dimensional electrodes and flat type electrodes could be applied, respectively, to measure the electrocardiogram signal and heart rate in accordance with the experimental protocol. The results of the stability of the waveform, the signal size and the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) of the threedimensional electrode when measuring the electrocardiogram signal were higher than those of the flat electrode. In addition, in the heart rate measured at the time when walking and standing, the accuracy of the three-dimensional electrode was shown to be higher than the flat type electrode, so the three-dimensional electrode was analyzed in a suitable structure for measuring the electrocardiogram and heart rate.     

Bioactive and multifunctional textile using plant-based madder dye: Characterization of UV protection ability and antibacterial activity

In the present work the natural madder dye (Rubia tinctorum L.) was applied to the simultaneous dyeing and functionalization of polyester (PET) fabric. In the first part of the study the color performance and the durability were revealed for exhaustion dyed fabric. The dyed fabric was then characterized with respect to ultraviolet (UV) protection ability and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). CIELab color coordinates, namely the positive a* and b* values, confirmed a yellow/orange color of the dyed fabric. From durability tests, the color showed a moderate to good light fastness and good to excellent fastness to washing and rubbing. The madder dye improved both the UV protective performance and the antibacterial activity of the fabric. With 3 % on weight of fiber (owf) the UV protection factor increased up to 106, and the antibacterial activity up to 86 % against both types of bacteria tested.     

Interaction of textile parameters,wash-ageing and fabric softener with mechanical properties of knitted fabrics and correlation with textile-hand. I. Interaction of textile parameters with laundry process

This is a study of the influence of repeated laundering and the use of fabric softener in the context of mechanical properties of fabrics with respect to textile parameters. In the large competitive market of fabric softener, the fabric softener producers claim benefits for fabric hand as well as the mechanical properties of textiles. The main aim of this study is to investigate the influence of ageing and the use of fabric softener on the mechanical properties of textiles during their cradle to grave life with respect to fibre type, fibre fineness, knitting construction and number of wash cycles. The low stress mechanical properties were evaluated by means of the Kawabata Evaluation system for fabric (KES-F) and Universal Surface Tester (UST). The tensile, shear, bending, compression and surface properties and changes in these parameters due to wash-ageing and the use of fabric softener during laundry were evaluated. These mechanical properties or combinations of them are the deciding factors for comfort aspects of apparel during wear. Hence, these mechanical properties need to be correlated with the sensory attributes. In Part I, we examine the change in mechanical parameters due to wash-ageing and the use of softener, while Part II deals with Fuzzy-Logic modelling to correlate these mechanical parameters with sensory attributes.     

Study of analytical methods for quantifying unfixed form of bifunctional reactive dyes used in dyeing cellulosic fibers (cotton)

The objective of the present study was to examine the reliability and compatibility of three methods for quantifying the unfixed form of heterobifunctional reactive dye type monochlorotriazine/β-sulfatoethylsulfone used in dyeing cellulosic fibers (cotton). The first method is based on spectrophotometric analysis by measuring the absorbance of residual dyebath (after dyeing process) and residual soaping bath (after washing-off phase), the second one is based on colorimetric analysis by measuring the reflectance of dyed fabric, and the third on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. The purpose of the latter is to identify and quantify the hydrolyzed and inactive forms of dye in residual soaping bath. The calculated unfixed dye rates unequivocally prove the reliability and compatibility of these methods. According to the availability of the required laboratory instruments, we can select the most suitable method in every case, though the tests proved that the HPLC technique is most efficient.     

Study on differences of reaction behavior of phenolic hydroxyl groups with vinyl sulfone reactive dyes and monochlorotriazine reactive dyes

Using p-methylphenol as a model compound for phenolic hydroxyl groups on silk fibroin, the reaction kinetics of two typical of reactive dyes including vinyl sulfone reactive dyes and monochlorotriazine reactive dyes with phenolic hydroxyl groups were studied by reverse phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that, the reaction rates of monochlorotriazine reactive dyes with phenolic hydroxyl groups were by far faster than those of vinyl sulfone reactive dyes, attributed to the stability of resultants from the former. The optimum reaction conditions for phenolic hydroxyl groups with vinyl sulfone reactive dyes and monochlorotriazine reactive dyes were at 50–70 °C and pH=8–9 for the former, and at 85–95 °C and pH=8–9 for the latter. The methods and results in this paper would help to deeply study the reaction mechanisms of reactive dyes with silk fibroin.     

Antimicrobial effects of mineral acids, organic acids, salts and sterilizing agents in relation to their potential as silage additives

Mineral acids, organic acids, salts and sterilizing agents were tested against a range of microorganisms at pH 4, 5 and 6. The antimicrobial spectra obtained revealed that hydrochloric, orthophosphoric, sulphuric and glycollic acids have no specific antimicrobial properties and merely function as acidifying agents. Acrylic acid, sulphamic acid and sodium formaldehyde bisulphite would apparently encourage a lactic acid-type fermentation by suppressing the growth of butyric acid-producing microorganisms. Chlorine dioxide and sodium metabisulphite are both antibacterial and of potential value for restricting silage fermentation Ammonium isobutyrate might find application in the production of a conventional fermented silage which is stable on exposure to air; it would appear particularly suited to silage made from wilted material. Sodium chloride apparently had no potential as a silage additive.     

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles with sericin and functional finishing to cotton fabrics

This research presents a novel strategy to fabricate multi-functional cotton textiles. In this study, silver nanoparticles-sericin (Ag NPS-sericin) hybrid colloid has been prepared using sericin as reducing agent and dispersing agent. Cotton fabrics was oxidized selectively with sodium periodate (NaIO₄) to generate oxidized cotton fabrics, and which has then been finished using Ag NPS-sericin hybrid colloid prepared to obtain multi-functional cotton textiles. The finished cotton fabric not only possessed excellent antibacterial activity, but also it was modified functionally by sericin protein, which endowed antibacterial cotton fabrics relatively smooth surface and good wear ability. Fourier transform infrared spectrogram confirmed that sericin protein was grafted onto cellulose fibers. Ag NPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The results of SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and EDS confirmed that silver nanoparticles and sericin been loaded successfully on the surface of cotton fabrics. The antibacterial experiments showed bacterial reduction rates of S.aureus and E.coli were able to reach above 99 %. After washing 20 times, it showed still good antibacterial activity at over 95 % against S.aureus and E.coli.     

Phenolic profiles and their contribution to the antioxidant activity of selected chickpea genotypes from Mexico and ICRISAT collections

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes, nine kabuli from Mexico and 9 desi from other countries, were investigated for their phenolic profiles and antioxidant activity (AA). Phenolics in methanol extracts (ME) were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detection and mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-MS), whereas the AA was measured as Trolox equivalents (TE) by ABTS, DPPH and FRAP methods. Twenty phenolic compounds were identified in the ME and their levels showed a great variability among the chickpea genotypes. Phenolic acids and flavonoids were the most abundant compounds in kabuli and desi genotypes, respectively. The AA values (μmol TE/ 100 g dw) by ABTS (278–2417), DPPH (52–1650), and FRAP (41–1181) were mainly associated with the content of sinapic acid hexoside, gallic acid, myricetin, quercetin, catechin, and isorhamnetin, suggesting they are the main compounds responsible for the AA. The sum of the AA obtained for standards of these compounds evaluated at the concentration found in the extracts accounted for 34.3, 69.8, and 47.0% of the AA in the extract by ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP, respectively. In the AA by DPPH, most of the mixtures of these compounds resulted in synergistic interactions. Three desi genotypes with black seeds (ICC 4418, ICC 6306, and ICC 3761) showed the highest AA and flavonoids content, whereas the most promising kabuli genotypes were Surutato 77, Bco. Sin. 92, and Blanoro that showed the highest values of phenolic acids. These genotypes represent good sources of antioxidants for the improvement of nutraceutical properties in chickpea.     

Antimicrobial and cellular activity of poly(L-lactide)/chitosan/Imipenem antibiotic composite nanofibers

Synthesis of biocompatible polymer nanofibers is valuable, due to their use as a cover for burns and as a replacement for bandage because of their antimicrobial properties. In this study, electrospinning of chitosan(Ch) and nanofibers synthesis with antibacterial properties was investigated. Nanofibers with antibacterial properties were synthesized by electrospun of Ch/poly(L-lactide)(PLA)/Imipenem(Imi) polymer solution. The results showed that the optimized ratio of Ch/PLA polymer solution was ratio of 50:50 and Ch 2 wt% and PLA 10 wt% polymer solution was the best weight percentage for nanofiber preparation. Also, the average diameter of Ch/PLA/Imi nanofibers was 143 nm and measured with ImageJ software. Afterwards, the antibacterial properties of Imi as additives (with different percentages) was studied in the polymer solution. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and antibacterial tests were showed that the electrospun of Ch/PLA/Imi polymeric nanofibers were effective against Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) and inhibited growth of E. coli. The growth and viability percentage of fibroblast cells with nanofibers in αMEM culture are at desirable levels after 6 days.
