    Development of a plasma activated multifunctional polyester fabric using zinc oxide nanoparticles and citronella oil microcapsules
    (Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Mehravani, Behnaz; Nicolau, Talita; Ribeiro, Ana Isabel; Parente, Joana F.; Sousa, Vânia I.; Tavares, Carlos J.; Padrão, Jorge; Zille, Andrea
    There is a high demand for the development of textiles possessing multifunctional properties for outdoor, protective and health care applications. The coating of polyester (PES) textiles with metal nanoparticles and essential oils may act in a synergistic mode to obtain materials with improved antimicrobial and UV-protection properties. However, the lack of functional groups onto PES structure makes the adhesion of particles a difficult task. In this work, PES fabric was activated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment, and functionalized with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-citronella microcapsules by dip-coating.

    Halochromic properties of a 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamidrazone and its application to wool

    The application of stimuli-responsive molecules in textiles is an important field due to its potential in various areas of flexible sensing technology. In particular, pH plays an important role in nature, humans, and several processes. The pH of body fluids is one of the best indicators of disturbed health conditions. Thus, the development of textiles with halochromic properties has been increasingly attractive to display in real-time pH variations. Wool is one of the most important natural fibres because of its warmth and comfort. However, the dyeing process is costly and high energy-consuming. In this work, the halochromic properties under different buffers (acetate, phosphate, Britton-Robinson, artificial sweat, and artificial wound exudate) of a previously synthesized 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamidrazone were studied. Moreover, the first attempt to dye a wool knitted fabric with this molecule at a low temperature was performed. The developed material showed interesting halochromic properties (colourless in acidic pH and blue colour in the alkaline pH), even using artificial body fluids.
