“…Prakash [ 31 ] revealed that cotton fibre has high moisture absorption potential, which makes it better suited for dye application. Reference [ 32 ] reported that pure cotton, cotton-hemp blends are inherently suitable as UV absorbers and concluded that naturally pigmented cotton combined with lignin composition in hemp fibres demonstrate better UV absorption capacity. In a related study, Gorade, Chaudhary [ 33 ] revealed that cotton fibre is hygroscopic and are non-abrasive with a low mass density, which makes it more suitable for liquid transport applications, such as for medical products.…”

The exponential increase in textile cotton wastes generation and the ineffective processing mechanism to mitigate its environmental impact by developing functional materials with unique properties for geotechnical applications, wastewater, packaging, and biomedical engineering have become emerging global concerns among researchers. A comprehensive study of a processed cotton fibres isolation technique and their applications are highlighted in this review. Surface modification of cotton wastes fibre increases the adsorption of dyes and heavy metals removal from wastewater. Cotton wastes fibres have demonstrated high adsorption capacity for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants in wastewater. Cotton wastes fibres have found remarkable application in slope amendments, reinforcement of expansive soils and building materials, and a proven source for isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Several research work on the use of cotton waste for functional application rather than disposal has been done. However, no review study has discussed the potentials of cotton wastes from source (Micro-Nano) to application. This review critically analyses novel isolation techniques of CNC from cotton wastes with an in-depth study of a parameter variation effect on their yield. Different pretreatment techniques and efficiency were discussed. From the analysis, chemical pretreatment is considered the most efficient extraction of CNCs from cotton wastes. The pretreatment strategies can suffer variation in process conditions, resulting in distortion in the extracted cellulose’s crystallinity. Acid hydrolysis using sulfuric acid is the most used extraction process for cotton wastes-based CNC. A combined pretreatment process, such as sonication and hydrolysis, increases the crystallinity of cotton-based CNCs. The improvement of the reinforced matrix interface of textile fibres is required for improved packaging and biomedical applications for the sustainability of cotton-based CNCs.

“…Nas últimas décadas, a mídia destacou o esgotamento do ozônio como o maior problema ambiental resultando em um aumento da radiação ultravioleta (UVR), atingindo a superfície da Terra e essa radiação é capaz de causar danos à população humana, sendo assim, a proteção UV fornecida pelas roupas torna-se um assunto de interesse significativo dos produtores e consumidores de tecidos (Kocic et al, 2019;Zhou et al, 2020). Apesar de muitas fibras terem pouca capacidade de proteção UV, destaca-se o potencial da fibra de cânhamo no desenvolvimento de produtos têxteis funcionalizados como protetores contra UV, mais sustentáveis e saudáveis (Kocic et al, 2019).…”

Inúmeros estudos são realizados todos os anos no intuito de descobrir formas inovadoras de elaborar têxteis para o conforto, segurança e, muitas vezes, que representem as ideologias do consumidor. No entanto, devido à problemática da indústria têxtil relacionada à degradação ambiental, pesquisadores têm realizado estudos acerca de materiais e processos que sejam mais sustentáveis. Portanto, o presente artigo propõe uma revisão bibliográfica de caráter analítico, em quatro bases de dados “Scopus”, “Science Direct” e “Proquest”, sobre materiais e processos mais sustentáveis utilizados no setor de têxteis entre os períodos de 2015 e 2020. Os resultados mostram 38 artigos sobre alternativas sustentáveis de materiais e processos para o mercado atual, bem como sobre pesquisas em andamento sobre novas possibilidades de têxteis nos campos da engenharia, biotecnologia, design, entre outros.

“…This is similar to the plating technique, but unlike the plated structure, in our knitted fabrics two different yarns are randomly arranged on the face or back of the knit. For the hydrophilic component, the hemp yarn was chosen as a more eco-friendly alternative to cotton with very good predispositions for production of comfortable, high-added value products [19][20][21][22][23]. Hemp has been a source of fibre for technical and clothing textiles for centuries, however, due to the large-scale cultivation of cotton and the advent of synthetic fibres the hemp cultivation declined.…”

Liquid transport in textile fabrics determines thermal comfort during high physical activity of a person when liquid perspiration is produced and needs to be transferred away from the skin to keep the thermal balance. In this investigation, an attempt was made to get some indications of how the combination of the fabric composition, geometry and dimensional stability, and the moisture content influences liquid transfer properties of plain weft knitted fabrics. Therefore, the knitted fabrics made from pure hydrophilic (hemp fibres), pure hydrophobic (acrylic fibres) and a hydrophilic/hydrophobic (hemp/acrylic) fibre blend underwent a trial wear and care period. The Malden Mills water distribution test was performed for the knitted fabrics with different moisture contents (0-30 %) in order to evaluate the effect on liquid transfer properties. Water transfer ability and water holding capacity of the knitted fabrics were also determined after undergoing the wear trial test. The obtained results were analysed with respect to macro and micro scales of porosity of knitted fabrics. It has been shown that the geometric configuration of the complex porous network in knitted fabrics influenced their liquid transfer properties in the whole moisture content range regardless of the composition. Despite the reconfiguration of the pore system in the knits during the trial period, their liquid transfer properties were still dependent on the pore size and distribution.
