“…If zeta potential is positive, the repulsive force will be weak or absent to prevent the particles from agglomerating and flocculating. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles were found to have negative zeta potential, which indicates strong repulsion among the particles and high stability of the formulation [35] . The well dispersed particles produce uniform coating layer on the fabric surface.…”

An ultrasonication approach was adopted for Azadirachta indica driven bioconversion of silver salt into silver nanoparticle (AgNPs). These nanoparticles were coated over plasma functionalized cotton by using a pad dry cure technique. For pre‐coat surface functionalization, the cotton fabric was exposed to an open air single dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). The emission spectrum revealed that DBD consisted of NO, O3, O, O2+ , O+, OH−, N2 and N2+ species. The plasma treatment produced negative radicals on the surface and improved the adhesion of fabric for nanoparticles. The crystallographic analysis revealed cubical structure of nanoparticles with average size of 25 nm. The fabric got fully covered with AgNPs after five pad‐dry cycles. Nanoparticles together with neem extract promoted the antimicrobial activity of the coated fabric. The inhibition zone of the silver coated fabric against E.Coli strains increased from 6 mm to 14 mm. The conductivity of fabric after 3, 5 and 7 cycles remained 2.56× 10−2, 2.63× 10−2 and 2.67× 10−2 Siemens/cm, respectively. The coated fabric showed UV protection factor in the range of 210–269. The transmittance of UV−A radiations and UV−B radiations from the uncoated fabric was 19.27 % and 7.84 %, respectively, which reduced to 0.76 % and 0.24 % after 7 pad dry cycles.

“…Stiffness is a tendency of the fabric to keep standing without support. It is a special property of the fabric for desirable draping and also influences the physical comfort of clothing [34][35][36]. It can be evaluated from bending properties of the fabric using bending length and flexural rigidity.…”

The presented work reported the growth of 3D-shaped TiO2 flower particles on the surface of polyester fabrics using two step approaches of sol–gel technology and hydrothermal method. The scanning electron microscopy, EDS analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques were employed to study the effect of titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) concentration on the growth of flower-like TiO2 microstructures. Later, a layer of trimethoxy(octadecyl)silane was applied on TiO2-coated polyester fabrics to fabricate the self-cleaning textiles. The physical self-cleaning properties were examined based on superhydrophobicity and contact angle measurements, where maximum static contact angle of 160.1o and minimum roll off angle of 3° was found for 2 mL TTIP concentration. The degradation of methyl orange dyes under UV light irradiation was observed to confirm the photocatalytic chemical self-cleaning behavior, where the samples coated with 2 mL TTIP decolorized the dye solution in 150 min, whereas the samples coated with 1 mL and 1.5 mL TTIP took almost 300 and 210 min, respectively.

“…A similar study compared the performance of silver and copper-coated stretchable cotton fabrics [225]. Azam et al [226] also investigated the utility of silver-coated cotton blended fabrics as electrodes in electrotherapy applications. The unchanged electrical volume resistance over repeated extensions and insignificant change in electrical resistivity over prolonged time suggested potential usage of the developed fabrics as flexible textile electrodes in electrical-nerve-stimulation electrotherapy applications.…”

Cotton is the most significant natural fibre and has been a preferred choice of the textile industry and consumers since the industrial revolution began. The share of man-made fibres, both regenerated and synthetic fibres, has grown considerably in recent times but cotton production has also been on the rise and accounts for about half of the fibres used for apparel and textile goods. To cotton's advantage, the premium attached to the presence of cotton fibre and the general positive consumer perception is well established, however, compared to commodity manmade fibres and high performance fibres, cotton has limitations in terms of its mechanical properties but can help to overcome moisture management issues that arise with performance apparel during active wear. This issue of Textile Progress aims to: i. Report on advances in cotton cultivation and processing as well as improvements to conventional cotton cultivation and ginning. The processing of cotton in the textile industry from fibre to finished fabric, cotton and its blends, and their applications in technical textiles are also covered. ii. Explore the economic impact of cotton in different parts of the world including an overview of global cotton trade. iii. Examine the environmental perception of cotton fibre and efforts in organic and genetically-modified (GM) cotton production. The topic of naturally-coloured cotton, post-consumer waste is covered and the environmental impacts of cotton cultivation and processing are discussed. Hazardous effects of cultivation, such as the extensive use of pesticides, insecticides and irrigation with fresh water, and consequences of the use of GM cotton and cotton fibres in general on the climate are summarised and the effects of cotton processing on workers are addressed. The potential hazards during cotton cultivation, processing and use are also included. iv. Examine how the properties of cotton textiles can be enhanced, for example, by improving wrinkle recovery and reducing the flammability of cotton fibre.
