Factors affecting Removal of Bacterial Pathogens from Healthcare Surfaces during Dynamic Wiping [PDF]
Wiping of surfaces contaminated with pathogenic bacteria is a key strategy for combatting transmission of healthcare associated infections. It is essential to understand the extent to which removal of bacteria is modulated by fibre properties, biocidal ...

Utilising plant‐derived dyes for designed changeability in textiles
Abstract Natural plant extracts have been used for dyeing textiles since prehistoric times. With the discovery of synthetic dyes in 1856, the consumption of natural dyes declined sharply. However, the current focus on closed‐loop systems, the circular economy and the promotion of sustainable industries aimed at reducing environmental impact (eg, The ...

Role of Surface Energy and Nano-Roughness in the Removal Efficiency of Bacterial Contamination by Nonwoven Wipes from Frequently Touched Surfaces [PDF]
Healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) are responsible for substantial patient morbidity, mortality and economic cost. Infection control strategies for reducing rates of transmission include the use of nonwoven wipes to remove pathogenic bacteria from ...

Importance of the Phase Diagram in Lyocell Fiber Spinning
The lyocell fiber is become very popular in the recent time among the researcher due to its higher strength, rigid crystalline morphology and its proximity towards to cotton. Lyocell fiber gives higher mechanical modulus which substan- tially makes it an effective material for use in different biometerials, paper industry, nonwoven fabric or even in ...
