Chitosan and Textile Industry by Homa Mohseni Kouchesfehani in Trends in Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology Based on the origin, textiles are categorized into natural and synthetic materials. Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin. Chitosan is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose, and has been extensively used in agriculture, cosmetics, food and nutrition, environmental protection, and material sciences. This biomaterial is a promising topic of research for future studies concerning biomedical textiles. Chitosan has been studied for a number of useful properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, antitumor effects and antibacterial properties in most available biomaterials have been tested in different approaches by different groups. Here, the purpose is to mention the application of chitosan, a biopolymer, and chitosan derivatives in medical textiles and purposes. For more open access journals i...

Performance on Antibacterial Finishes for Textile Applications by Muhammad Naveed in Trends in Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology Microorganisms are found everywhere in our world and most of them cause infectious diseases to human beings such as viruses, fungi, pathogenic bacteria etc. Suitable conditions like nutrients, warmth and humidity may accelerate the growth of these harmful microbes on textiles which not only increase the risk of spreading diseases but also cause some unwanted effects to textile products including loss of strength, decoloration and unpleasant smell. Antimicrobial agents are ultimate solution which inhibit and kill the microorganisms and are applied to textile products. Antimicrobial textiles are consumed continuously where fabric surface is expected to contact microorganisms. Much attentions have paid for development and finishing of these functional agents onto textiles. Various kinds of antimicrobial agents and finishes which provides superior safe...

Certain Physical Characterization into Composite Leaf Fibres of Agave Americana L by Saravanan D in Trends in Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology Newer natural fibres are often explored due to eco-friendliness and availability of such fibres in the specific regions. Agave americana L fibres, extracts from the leaves of the Agave plant, represent the naturally available cellulosic fibres with interesting properties. Voids, in the cross-sections of the fibres, were observed in the microscopic analysis and the fibres exhibit high degree of crystallinity. Bundle fibres extracted from the leaves exhibit low elongation with high tensile stress compared to many non-apparel fibres and the moisture, thermal properties similar to that of any other cellulosic fibres.

Evaluation of Screen Printing using Cochineal Natural Dye by Subhas Ghosh in Trends in Textile Engineering & Fashion Technology Recently a great interest has been developed in the use of natural dyes for fashion apparel textiles which arises from the restrictions on the effluent to be released from the dye houses to reduce pollution. Wash colorfastness has been a continuing problem in the use of natural dyes. This study addresses this issue by investigating screen printing on cotton fabric using Cochineal natural dye in the presence of stannous chloride as the mordant. It was found that, the dye recipe using 6% Cochineal pigment in water-based solvent, where the fabric was soaked in the heated stannous chloride mordant for an hour and cured at 160 °C for 3minutes, produced the best screen print on 100% cotton fabric in terms of appearance and color wash fastness.
