“…All experiments resulted in good visual quality and even pigmentation, corresponding to a varied swatch of colours that could be used in fashion products. The successful fixation of the dyes in the fibres is in agreement with results reported in the literature, such as studies by Verma et al [ 27 ] (dyeing with onion), Maulik et al [ 28 ] (dyeing with eucalyptus) and Tian et al [ 29 ] (dyeing with pomegranate).…”

Consumerism in fashion involves the excessive consumption of garments in modern capitalist societies due to the expansion of globalisation, especially at the beginning of the 21st Century. The involvement of new designers in the garment industry has assisted in creating a desire for new trends. However, the fast pace of transitions between collections has made fashion increasingly frivolous and capable of generating considerable interest in new products, accompanied by an increase in the discarding of fabrics. Thus, studies have been conducted on developing sustainable textile materials for use in the fashion industry. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential of a vegan leather produced with a dyed, waterproof biopolymer made of reconstituted bacterial cellulose (BC). The dying process involved using plant-based natural dyes extracted from Allium cepa L., Punica granatum, and Eucalyptus globulus L. The BC films were then shredded and reconstituted to produce uniform surfaces with a constant thickness of 0.10 cm throughout the entire area. The films were waterproofed using the essential oil from Melaleuca alternifolia and wax from Copernicia prunifera. The characteristics of the biotechnological vegan leather were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), flexibility and mechanical tests, as well as the determination of the water contact angle (°) and sorption index (s). The results confirmed that the biomaterial has high tensile strength (maximum: 247.21 ± 16.52 N) and high flexibility; it can be folded more than 100 times at the same point without breaking or cracking. The water contact angle was 83.96°, indicating a small water interaction on the biotextile. The results of the present study demonstrate the potential of BC for the development of novel, durable, vegan, waterproof fashion products.

“…Liu et al 5 and Zhang et al 6 Chemically modified chitosan to make its chitosan derivatives have better antibacterial effects on Escherichia coli. The cotton fabric treated with chitosan by Verma et al 7 and Bae et al 8 showed that the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were reduced by 97.2% and 98%, respectively. Cellulose acetate fiber is a strictly green environmentally friendly regenerated cellulose fiber, non-toxic, tasteless, soft and skin-friendly, and has certain antibacterial properties.…”

Use chitosan (CS) fiber and cellulose acetate (CA) fiber with different mixing ratios as raw materials, the kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of the adsorption process of chitosan fiber/cellulose acetate fiber (CS/CA) ratio of 90:10 are explored, and the adsorption process conforms to the quasi-second-order kinetic equation. It can be fitted by Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption process is a spontaneous thermal reaction with both physical adsorption and chemical adsorption. The best adsorption time is 30 min, the time to reach adsorption equilibrium is 180 min, and the best adsorption pH is 5, the most suitable temperature is 35°C, and rising the temperature is conducive to the fibers adsorption. The materials before and after the CS/CA blended yarn adsorbed copper ions were characterized by XRD, DSC, FT-IR, and the adsorption mechanism was analyzed. In the orthogonal experiment, the copper ions concentration has the most obvious effect on the adsorption capacity, and the temperature has the most obvious effect on the adsorption efficiency. The optimal adsorption combination is that the mixing ratio of chitosan fiber/cellulose acetate (CS/CA) is 80:20, the pH is 5, the temperature is 35°C, and the copper ion concentration is 100 mg L−1. Comparing the adsorption performance of fibers with different mixing ratios, the adsorption performance of CS/CA ratio of 90:10 is the best. The filtration efficiency of the filter material, made of fibers with different mixing ratios, to copper ions is tested, and the filtration performance with a mixing ratio of 90:10 is the best, and the filtration efficiency is 64.33%.

“…As for protective clothing against pathogens, e.g., microbes, bacteria, and virus, the related studies only focused on the introduction of materials and garment development, so the empirical studies did not start until the outbreak of SARS. Afterwards, only a few scholars conducted further explorations on innovative materials and manufacturing process [ 4 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. In the wake of COVID-19, the continuous progress of medical protective clothing appears even more important.…”

Medical protective clothing is the first line of defense for medical staff, which makes the acquisition of protection and multiple function challenging. When it comes to contagious diseases, the physical properties of protective clothing are deemed the top priority and, subsequently, they have significant meaning for the structural design, production cost evaluation, convenient production, and innovation. In this study, nonwoven technology is employed to produce matrices in which mechanical properties are supported by Tencel fibers and recycled Kevlar fibers. Next, the electrostatic spinning is conducted to generate breathable and waterproof films. The nonwoven fabrics and membranes are combined to have diverse functions, forming lay-up compound matrices for medical protective clothing. Moreover, measurements are conducted to characterize the lay-up compound matrices in terms of the tensile strength, tearing strength, bursting strength, puncture resistance, stiffness, air-permeable property, surface resistance, comfort performance, sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency, and the penetration of synthetic blood. As for the nonwoven fabrics, the mechanical properties are significantly improved after Kevlar fibers are incorporated. The tensile strength is (62.6 ± 2.4) N along the machine direction (MD) and (50.1 ± 3.1) N along the cross machine direction (CD); the tearing strength is (29.5 ± 1.6) N along the MD and (43.0 ± 1.7) N along the CD; the bursting strength is (365.8 ± 5.0) kPa; and the puncture resistance is (22.6 ± 1.0) N. Moreover, the lay-up compound matrices exhibit a stiffness of (14.7 ± 0.2) cm along the MD and (14.6 ± 0.1) cm along the CD, a surface resistance of (2.85 × 109 ± 0.37 × 109) Ω, an air-permeable property of (45.4 ± 2.3) cm3/s/cm2, and sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency of over 98%. In the measurement for penetration of synthetic blood, the K40/PAN/TPU group prevents the synthetic blood from penetration. Hence, the incorporation of recycled Kevlar fibers and lay-up compound technique creates good physical properties, an appropriate comfort attribute, and functions, which suggests that this study provides a greater diversity and new concepts for the production of medical protective clothing.
