Effect of plasma treatment on Lyocell fabric/polylactic acid [PDF]
Atmospheric glow discharge (AGD) was developed with industrial plasma sources using high voltage radio frequency (RF) excitation at kHz frequency ranges. It is possible to produce a steady-state uniform glow discharge at atmospheric pressure with various gases, thus eliminating the requirement of a vacuum system to expose the materials to plasma.

Pad ultrasonic batch dyeing of causticized lyocell fabric with reactive dyes
Conventionally, cellulosic fabric dyed with reactive dyes requires significant amount of salt. However, the dyeing of a solvent spun regenerated cellulosic fiber is a critical process. This paper presents the dyeing results of lyocell fabrics dyed with conventional pad batch (CPB) and pad ultrasonic batch (PUB) processes.

Desorption of cellulases from cotton powder [PDF]
Cotton fabrics were treated with three different Trichoderma reesei cellulase preparations (total crude – TC, endoglucanase enriched – EG-rich, cellobiohydrolase enriched – CBH-rich) using mechanical agitation to produce cotton powder.

The impact of nanotechnology on textile coloration—A mini‐review
Abstract Coloration is a key feature in the textile industry that adds value to the final apparels. This coloration of textile products is done by conventional methods which involve huge amounts of water pollution and wastages of textile colourants. Several approaches have been taken to eliminate these issues by advanced dyeing methods, however, due to

ABSTRACT This article examines whether and how patenting advances circular innovation and therefore contributes to the sociotechnical transition toward a circular economy. Using the multilevel perspective (MLP) as a theoretical framework, we conducted a case study set in the empirical context of man‐made cellulosic fibers. These heavily patented fibers

Hydrogen Halide Gas Sensors: Active Materials, Operation Principles, and Emerging Technologies
This review considers hydrogen halide (HX) gas sensors across functional materials and principles: acoustic, chemical, optical and nanophotonic. The strong acidity and reactivity of HX gases are discussed as constraints for stability and selectivity of these devices.
