The dyeing and finishing step represents a clear hotspot in the textile supply chain as the wet processing stages require significant amounts of water, energy, and chemicals. In order to tackle environmental issues, natural ...

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a plant of which, its ease of cultivation, structure and properties, provide it great potential for industrial applications; nevertheless, the unfavorable content of lignin complicates its ...

The influence of the alkaline delignification of hemp on its moisture uptake has been studied under the project “Preparation and functionalization of hemp for textile substrates” focussed on the reduction of cotton imports ...

Raw hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was subjected to alkaline delignification with the application of NaOH ranging from [0.125M] to [1M] for times from 5 to 480¿min. Lignin contents of the original and delignified samples were ...

Thermal processing properties are a key factor in the industrial processing industry. The obtaining of a PET-based hybrid composite multifilament with textile properties (yarns) is presented. The system is composed by ...

The objective of this work was to assess the possibility of dyeing a substrate composed of non-textile industrial hemp using natural dyes from common madder (Rubia Tinctorum L.) and calendula (Calendula Officialis) and ...

The inclusion of particles in a polymeric substrate to achieve certain properties is a well-known practice. In the case of textile substrates, this practice may deeply affect the structure of the produced yarns, as even a ...
