'Meiling Zhang'] 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 tannin and alum as mordants. The substrate used for the dyeing had a 25/75…

This study electrocoagulated textile effluent to remove dyes. The wastewater reuse method was used to study three reactive dyes: C.I. Reactive Red 221, Blue 19, and Yellow 145. Laboratory wastewater was electrocoagulated. Standard wastewater had three pH values. (4, 7, 10). Electrocoagulation removes volatile dye…

Textile drying is a key operation in the textile production cycle as it represents one of the most energy-intensive stages and plays a critical role in determining both product quality and overall process efficiency. In this work we propose a mathematical model for the drying process of a generic textile material using…

Protein-based fibers are lightweight, biodegradable, have excellent moisture and temperature regulation, and exceptional mechanical properties, but they are limited in production capacity. Biosynthetic protein-based fibers have the potential to overcome these concerns, but large-scale production with high yield (>1g/L)…

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) have been used as antimicrobial additives in textiles, but information on the environmental occurrence of QACs in textiles and their ecological impacts from laundry wastewater is scarce. In this study, we purchased 119 textile samples from Chinese online vendors, with the product…

The environmental impact of synthetic textiles has prompted the search for sustainable and biodegradable alternatives. This study correlates the growth conditions used to produce kombucha-derived cellulose non-woven mats with their mechanical performance as a function of post-processing. Systematically, the…

Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer and serves as the structural scaffolding molecule of plants, and materials from cellulose fibers are considered important to the global shift toward renewable materials. Yet, uncertainty remains about their persistence in natural environments. Here we show that native and…

Human hair is a keratin-based fiber with mechanical properties relevant to load-bearing biomaterials; however, its smooth cuticle limits fiber-fiber cohesion during textile-style processing. This study examines how controlled chemical decuticularization influences surface morphology and tensile behavior of intact human…
