“…Many experts investigated the bamboo fiber and its yarns (Erdumlu & Ozipek, 2008; Hengshu, 2004; Lizhen, 2005; Yongmei, Qi, & Guohe, 2006). Some of them evaluated the bamboo-blended fabrics, mostly with cotton (An, Gam, & Cao, 2013; Chidambaram et al, 2011; Hatua, Majumdar, & Das, 2013; Prakash et al, 2011a, 2011b, 2013; Yongmei et al, 2006), tencel (Karthikeyan et al, 2016), and polyester (Tausif et al, 2015). However, bamboo rayon blended with other regenerated fibers (tencel lyocell, modal rayon, and viscose rayon) and compared with cotton is not reported.…”

The worldwide growing need of cotton but its lower production has boosted the production of regenerated cellulosic fibers. This work compares the thermal comfort and mechanical properties of bamboo rayon fiber blends with cotton and other regenerated fibers. So, bamboo rayon fibers were blended with cotton, tencel lyocell, modal rayon, and viscose rayon. One-hundred-percent pure fabrics of bamboo rayon, cotton, tencel lyocell, modal rayon, and viscose rayon were made. Also, 50:50 blends of bamboo rayon with cotton, tencel lyocell, modal rayon, and viscose rayon were prepared. Plain-woven fabrics were made by using yarns of 20 tex. The thermal comfort and mechanical properties were analyzed. It is found that 100% tencel lyocell fabrics give higher mechanical and comfort properties. Similarly, bamboo rayon:tencel lyocell (50:50)-blended fabric gives better thermal comfort and mechanical properties than bamboo rayon:cotton-, bamboo rayon:modal rayon-, and bamboo rayon:viscose rayon-blended fabrics.

Of this water, 2.05% is frozen water, 97.4% is salty seawater, and the fresh water that is healthy enough for plant, animal and human consumption is only 0.65% (Krenkel, 2012). Among various crops, cotton is one of the thirstiest and is responsible for damaging the freshwater ecosystems both locally and globally. Cotton is a major natural fiber consumed in the apparel industry due to its excellent properties

“…This is because of decrease in lignin contents (a natural UV absorber) during the fiber generation (Afrin et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2010). A recent study has shown improvement in UV protection of polyester/bamboo blended fabrics with increase in percentage of bamboo content in it (Mahisha et al, 2012;Hatua et al, 2013). However, some studies also contradict to these conclusions and have proved that cotton fabric can offer a same UPF rating as that of bamboo fabric, if all the structural parameters are kept same (Mishra et al, 2012).…”

“…Bamboo-viscose fabric was found to offer better UPF than that of cotton, mainly because of its higher cover factor and areal density. It was proved through a predictive model that bamboo-viscose and cotton IJCST 32,6 fabrics with same cover factor give the similar UV protection and that UPF of bambooviscose fabric can effectively be predicted by using the UPF prediction model of cotton fabric based on its areal density (Hatua et al, 2013).

PurposeThis review deals with the pros and cons of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on human beings and the role of textile clothing and the chemicals used for textiles to protect from their harmful effects.Design/methodology/approachUV radiation (UVR) which has further divided into UVA, UVB, and UVC. Almost 100% of UVC and major portion of UVB are bounced back to stratosphere by ozone layer while UVA enters the earth atmosphere. Excessive exposure of solar or artificial UVR exhibit potential risks to human health. UVR is a major carcinogen and excessive exposure of solar radiation in sunlight can cause cancer in the lip, skin squamous cell, basal cell and cutaneous melanoma, particularly in people with the fair skin.FindingsThis article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the harmful effects of UVR on human skin, factors affecting UV irradiance and factors affecting UV protection offered by textile clothing.Originality/valueEffect of fiber properties, yarn properties, fabric construction, fabric treatments and laundering has been reviewed along with the identification of gaps in the reported research. A comparison of inorganic and organic UV absorbers has also been given along with different testing and evaluation methods for UV protective clothing.

“…Although Hatua, Majumdar, and Das (2013) demonstrated bamboo pulp fabrics showed the same ultraviolet protection factor with cotton fabrics, it still has been growing in popularity because it has many other unique properties and it is more sustainable than most textile fibers. The fabric is light and strong, and is hopefully to be used as an antibacterial fiber (Shanmugasundaram & Mahendra Gowda, 2011;Sarkar & Appidi, 2009).…”

The paper mainly discusses the antibacterial performance of bamboo pulp and cotton fabrics which were treated with NaOH solution and copper ammonia solution. SEM, ICP-OES, and agar diffusion plate method were used to investigate the existence of copper ions and analyze the influence of treatment parameters on the copper ion content and antibacterial performance. The results show that there is significant difference for all the properties between bamboo pulp and cotton fabrics. The alkali treatment, concentration, and time period all have significant influence on the copper ion contents and antibacterial performance, and they have different influences on the bamboo pulp fabrics and cotton fabrics. The antibacterial performance not only depends on the copper ion content on the fabrics but also relate to the release action. The release ability of copper ions in bamboo fabrics is better than that in cotton fabrics. Alkali treatment makes the complex of copper ion more stable and the release rate slower.
