Roadmap to Sustainable Textiles

Sustainability aims to provide a livable future for the next generations. Studies on reducing high chemical, energy, and water consumption make significant contributions to sustainability in many sectors. The textile sector consists of many processes such as fiber production, yarn and fabric production, dyeing, and finishing processes. Each of these processes consumes a significant amount of water and energy. Cotton fiber production consumes approximately 1559 kg of fresh water per kg, and polyester fiber production consumes approximately 108 kWh of electricity per kg. Clean water consumption can be up to 200 L/kg in subsequent processes such as bleaching, dyeing, printing, and finishing. Surface modification techniques in textile production can play a role in sustainability, especially in areas such as reduction, reuse, and recycling. In this chapter, we aim to investigate the effects of surface modification techniques on reducing chemical, energy, and water consumption in textile production, improving textile performance properties, and altering the service life of textiles.

“…In recent years, the use of chemical substances that contain fluorine (fluorochemicals) to produce water-repellent textiles has been recognized for its effectiveness on almost all textiles [1,4]. Furthermore, technologies such as lasers, gamma irradiation, critical CO 2 , plasma, ultrasound, ultraviolet irradiation, ozone, and nanobubbles (e-Flow) are attracting significant academic and industrial interest as alternatives to conventional wet finishing processes [2,5,6].…”

Nanobubble Technology for A Water-Repellent Treatment on Cotton Fabrics: A Comparative Study

Recently, a significant interest in eco-friendly textile products and processes has been noted among consumers and producers. In this respect, nanobubble technology is emerging as a green alternative. In this study, water-repellent cotton fabrics were produced with exhaustion and nanobubble technology (e-flow method) using a short-chain fluoropolymer. The currently most developed substituents are based on molecules with short fluorine carbon chains. The wettability, mechanical properties, air permeability and treatment durability were evaluated. The untreated and treated cotton fabrics were analyzed with ATR-FTIR (Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) to reveal chemical and morphological modifications. The obtained results show that cotton samples treated with short-chain fluoropolymers, nontoxic and eco-friendly finishing chemicals, and nanobubble technology have good water repellence and good washing durability. Due to their size and structure, nanobubbles possess distinct properties that make them particularly effective at improving water quality, enhancing water treatment processes, and improving productivity in industrial applications. Nanobubbles have a strong negative surface charge that keeps them stable in liquid, prevents them from coalescing, and enables them to physically separate small particles and droplets from water, such as emulsified fats, oils, and grease.

“…Such textiles are needed in homes, healthcare centers, and areas where hygienic protection is required without compromising their key performance properties. This, consequently, led to the development of some novel textiles having versatile properties such as antimicrobial activity, insect repellency, fragrance, skin softening, and moisturizing effects [ 1 ]. Among these, antimicrobial activity in textile materials is foremost needed in recent times.…”

This study presents the encapsulation of spearmint oil (SMO) in chitosan microstructures prepared through the emulsion formation method. The SMO although is medicinally significant yet finds limited applications in medical and functional textiles because of its less stability and high volatility under ambient conditions. Nevertheless, its encapsulation in chitosan may enhance its stability and applicability for the said purpose. The SMO encapsulating chitosan microstructures were characterized using different analytical techniques and applied on cotton fabric through a green crosslinking of citric acid. The treated fabric revealed successful adhesion of microcapsules onto its surface confirmed via SEM and FTIR analyses. There observed a slight decrease in tensile strength of treated fabric; that, however, improved crease recovery behavior, and good antibacterial activity in response to broad-spectrum bacterial strains by reducing their 99% population; whereas, the stiffness of such fabric exhibited somehow increasing trend. Hence value-added multifunctional textiles produced, herein, may provide both surface and antibacterial activity for potential medical and healthcare applications without compromising their comfort properties.
