Microencapsulation of tamoxifen: Application to cotton fabric
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2009Tamoxifen microcapsules and drug loaded medicated fabrics were investigated. The microcapsules were prepared using a complex coacervation procedure involving gelatin B and acacia gum. The morphology, particle size, drug loading capacity and in vitro release characteristics of the drug microcapsules were optimized for coating tamoxifen microcapsules ...

Functional finishes of stretch cotton fabrics
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013Functionalized cotton cellulose/spandex woven fabrics with different structures namely plain (1/1), twill (2/2) and satin were produced. Factors affecting the imparted functional properties such as weave structure and constituents of the finishing formulations including ether or ester cross-linker and catalyst type, silicone-micro-emulsion, water/oil ...

Cotton Fabrics with Single-Faced Superhydrophobicity
Langmuir, 2012This article reports on the fabrication of cotton fabrics with single-faced superhydrophobicity using a simple foam finishing process. Unlike most commonly reported superhydrophobic fabrics, the fabrics developed in this study exhibit asymmetric wettability on their two faces: one face showing superhydrophobic behavior (highly nonwetting or water ...

Fabrication of superhydrophobicity on cotton fabric by sol–gel
Applied Surface Science, 2012Abstract A superhydrophobic cotton fabric was prepared by dip-coating TiO2 for four times and subsequent surface modification with n-octadecylthiol (ODT). The surface morphology, crystal structure and chemical composition are studied by SEM, XRD, and XPS, respectively.

Today's world textile and garment trade is valued at a staggering $425 billion. We are told that under the pressure of increasing globalisation, it is India and China that are the new world manufacturing powerhouses. However, this is not a new phenomenon: until the industrial revolution, Asia manufactured great quantities of colourful printed cottons ...
