Coloration of aramid fabric via in-situ biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with enhanced antibacterial effect

A state-of-the-art review on coir fiber-reinforced biocomposites

“…Natural ber-reinforced composite materials have received continuous attention due to their industrial application potential. Natural bers are comparatively cheap, renewable, completely/partially recyclable, biodegradable, and ecofriendly, [1][2][3][4][5][6] and synthetic products [7][8][9][10][11][12] are continuously being replaced by natural products. [13][14][15][16] The lignocellulosic ber materials including ax, hemp, ramie, kenaf, jute, coir, hard and sowood materials, and rice husk are the biggest sources of biocomposite ller materials.…”

Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles by Hydrothermal Methods and Spectroscopic Investigation of Ultraviolet Radiation Protective Properties

“…According to the literature [2-4, 7, 11], ZnO NPs can be used in textiles as UV blocking properties, antifungal, antibacterial activities, solar screening, cosmetics, food packaging, biomedical, self-cleaning, water, and air cleaning, sterilizing surroundings, and photocatalyst due because of its one-of-a-kind physical and chemical characteristics such as high electrochemical coupling coefficient, more chemical stability, a diverse range of absorbing radiation, huge excitonic binding energy (60 meV), large energy band gap (3.37 eV), and high mechanical and thermal stability. ZnO NPs have a number of great qualities, including ease of synthesis, controllable shape and size, nontoxicity, the existence of extrinsic and intrinsic at the emission centre, and the ability to emit a variety of hues (violet, blue, green, yellow, and red) [12][13][14].…”

“…Under normal environmental circumstances, hexagonal structures are thermodynamically stable [7]. Nanowire, nanoflower, nanocombs, nanobelts, nanocages, nanosprings, nanoring, needle-like, nanoflake, spherical, nanohelix, sheet, bullet-like, hexagonal plate, polyhedral, nanotube, nanorod, pyramid shape, doughnut-like, malty sphere, nanobows, nanoleafs, star, spike, and multipods, smashed stone-like, cylinder-like, and ellipsoid are morphological forms of ZnO NPs derived from SEM [5][6][7][8][12][13][14][15][16]. UV radiation absorbance by semiconductive, whether significantly refractive or dispersing radiations, is closely related to the UV blocking characteristics of ZnO NPs.…”

“…The UPF value of treated fabrics evaluates their blocking qualities, and the greater the UPF value, the much more protective they are [10]. For the production of ZnO NPs, a range of preparation techniques have been reported, including chemical precipitation, spray-pyrolysis, hydrothermal, sol-gel, photochemical, and electrospanning methods [13,14,[16][17][18][19][20]. As reported in several kinds of literature [6], ZnO NPs were prepared for textile application through hydrothermal methods using different solvents (distilled water, ethanol, and methanol) results from 20 to 9 nm sizes with high UPF of UV-A and UV-B.…”

Potential fabric-reinforced composites: a comprehensive review

“…Both natural and synthetic fiberbased fabrics are used in composite production. Natural fibers include hemp, ramie, flax, jute, sisal, cotton, agave, and so on [10][11][12][13], whereas synthetic fibers are carbon, glass, nylon, polyester, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and so on [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. However, composites made from natural fiber-based fabrics are becoming increasing popular due to their environmental sustainability.…”
