Plasma activation toward multi-stimuli responsive cotton fabric via in situ development of polyaniline derivatives and silver nanoparticles

Facile development of photochromic cellulose acetate transparent nanocomposite film immobilized with lanthanide‐doped pigment: ultraviolet blocking, superhydrophobic, and antimicrobial activity

“…[ 43,44 ] It has been one of the earliest known cellulose derivatives utilized in many applications such as packaging films, gas separation, and water purification membranes. [ 45–48 ] It is characterized by a simple structure and excellent characteristics such as availability from diversity of resources, biodegradability, advantageous physical performance, simple processing, high transparency, and distinctive mechanical properties. [ 49,50 ] CA‐based nanocomposites exhibit high sensitivity and faster response times due to their high surface area and high porosity.…”

Effects of Technical Textiles and Synthetic Nanofibers on Environmental Pollution

“…Antimicrobial and antifungal finishing ( Figure 12 ) processes are very important in certain textiles for a variety of medical hygienic applications to avoid infections [ 70 ]. Antimicrobial finishing is largely used in garments such as mattress ticking, blankets and pillows that are being handled continuously by people as in hotels, hospitals, asylums and student hostels.…”

“…Coloration of technical textiles is performed either by dyeing to form uniform color or by printing to introduce a design or a pattern to a fabric. It is mainly anticipated for aesthetic motives, but also affords ready methods for recognizing the quality or fineness of materials [ 70 , 86 ]. For instance, the visibility of a fineness surgical suture at the implant position can be easily recognized by color.…”

Photochromic and fluorescent ink using photoluminescent strontium aluminate pigment and screen printing towards anticounterfeiting documents

“…Smart chromic materials have the capability to be responsive to one or more external stimuli, such as heat, pH, light, solvent polarity, and electricity. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] In this study, we developed a simple method to produce smart coating with the ability to respond to light. The long-lasting phosphorescence formula was prepared using several components including resins, lanthanide-doped strontium aluminate phosphor at different total contents (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 wt%), alkali, mineral oil, and a dryer.…”
