Pozycja Antiviral properties of flame retardant bacterial nanocellulose modified with mordenite(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Melro, Liliana; Fernandes, Rui D.V.; Peixoto, Joaquim Jorge; Pinheiro, Inés; Ribeiro, Alice; Bouça, Verónica; Dourado, Fernando; Gama, Miguel; Padrão, Jorge; Zille, AndreaCurrent COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the requirement of antiviral properties in a plethora of textile applications. These include textiles used in home areas prone to fire such as kitchens, windows and electronic panel areas, but also in the automotive industry such interior textiles and hood insulation pad covers. Therefore, this work describes the characterization of a fully sustainable textile: bacterial nanocellulose, functionalized to achieve an impressive flame retardancy.Pozycja 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, AndreaThere 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.Pozycja Halochromic properties of a 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamidrazone and its application to wool(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Ribeiro, Ana Isabel; Dantas, Daniela; Silva, Renata; Remião, Fernando; Pinto, Eugénia; Cerqueira, Fátima; Dias, Alice; Zille, AndreaThe 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.Pozycja Sustainable and multifunctional natural fiber-based electric wire sheaths for smart textiles(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Mehravani, Behnaz; Padrão, Jorge; Fernandes, Rui D.V.; Nicolau, Talita; Alves, Cátia; Ribeiro, Ana I.; Peixoto, Joaquim Jorge; Carvalho, Hélder; Zille, AndreaEnvisioning the development of sustainable products for improvement of daily life quality, a cable-like composite using natural fibers was developed to be potentially used in smart textiles. Natural fibers such as jute and hemp were used along with Bekinox®VN yarn. Bekinox®VN is a stainless steel conductive yarn often used in intelligent textiles within a wide range of applications such as antistatic, power and signal transfer, thermal conductivity or even as a heat resistant sewing yarn. Furthermore, applying a chitosan coating on the surface of the sheath will confer antibacterial properties, thus preventing the colonization and proliferation of bacteria, as well as natural fiber degradation. The chitosan coating was applied by a pad dry method. Tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical, electrical and antimicrobial properties. The results displayed that the best tensile strength was obtained for hemp fabric followed by cable composite. The antimicrobial properties were improved with the coating of chitosan and demonstrating excellent results against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Although chitosan reduces the mechanical strength of the sheath, it confers antibacterial activity, which not only will preserve the fiber in the structure but will also protect human skin against possible crosscontaminations.Pozycja Dyeing of cotton with madder using (bio)mordants: effects on fastness and UV protection properties(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2022) Alves, Cátia; Fernandes, Marta; Rodrigues, Rui; Zille, AndreaThis work aimed at studying the dyeing of cotton fabrics with madder extract using two biomordants, quebracho tree extract (Schinopsis spp.) and laccase. Pre-treatment with quebracho increased the colour strength, washing and UV light fastness, and UV protection, while laccase only shows an increase in the UV light fastness. The application of biomordants together with the metal ones (aluminium or iron salts) led to an improved UV light fastness compared to the samples mordanted only with metal salts. Meanwhile, although the colour strength was lower than in the metal-mordanted samples, greater UV protection factors were obtained in the samples pre-treated with quebracho or laccase and iron salt.
