Gallic acid was microencapsulated in poly-¿-caprolactone by the solvent evaporation method and was applied onto biofunctional textile substrates, cotton, and polyamide fabrics using a finishing process. A higher content ...

In recent years, new technologies have led to the production of biofunctional textiles. These biofunctional textiles contain microscopic capsules of ingredients that break as the fabric rubs the skin, releasing the active ...

The textile washing process consists basically of three stages: 1) removal of the soiling from the substrate, 2) suspension of the soiling in the washing bath, and 3) prevention of redeposition of the soiling on the substrate ...

Nowadays, the needs and requirements to avoid infections during surgical operations, require to be more imaginative than ever. The one-use textiles substrates that are used in hospitals can be, also, a way to transport the ...

Polylactide fibers (PLA), false-twist textured at different temperatures (135, 150 and 165º C) and draw ratios (1.30, 1.35 and 1.40) were stabilized by a continuous setting treatment at 50 m/min and 100º C using a specially ...

En este trabajo se ha sintetizado un poliuretano en dispersión acuosa (WPU) a partir de poli-1,3-propilenglicol (PO3G) y un dímero-diol (Pripol 2033) ambos procedentes de fuentes 100% renovables, diisocianato de isoforona ...

The primary aim of this work is to attain improvement of the softness of cotton fabric during the washing process with ecological surfactants. To attain that improvement, sodium bentonite was added to the detergent ...

The aim of this study is to extract cellulosic fibres from the Esparto grass (Stipa Tenacissima L.) for being used in textile applications. This material is renewable, biodegradable and very ecological. In fact, it requires ...

In some specific fields of application (e.g., cosmetics, pharmacy), textile substrates need to incorporate sensible molecules (active principles) that can be affected if they are sprayed freely on the surface of fabrics. ...
