      Functional finishing of textile materials refers to the application of various chemical treatments or processes that enhance the performance and functionality of the fabric. This process involves treating the fabric with substances such as coatings, resins, or additives to impart specific properties like waterproofing, flame resistance, antimicrobial properties, or UV protection. While functional finishing plays a vital role in improving the technical aspects of textile materials, its impact on psychological aspects should not be overlooked. The feel and appearance of textiles can significantly influence an individual's emotional state and overall well-being. Psychologically, functional finishing can contribute to enhancing comfort levels, promoting confidence, and providing a sense of security. For instance, the application of moisture-wicking finishes in sportswear helps to keep the body dry, allowing athletes to perform better and boosting their confidence. Similarly, the addition of softeners and anti-static finishes in clothing can create a pleasant tactile experience, evoking feelings of comfort and relaxation.

      Smart Textiles Utilize Stimuli Sensitive Materials

      Esubalew Dessie*

      DOI: 10.37421/2165-8064.2023.13.557

      The application of stimuli-sensitive materials in smart textiles has revolutionized the field of wearable technology, offering exciting possibilities for functionality and interactivity. Stimuli-sensitive materials, also known as smart or responsive materials, are designed to respond to various external stimuli, such as heat, light, moisture, pressure, or electrical signals, by changing their physical or chemical properties. One of the key applications of stimuli-sensitive materials in smart textiles is in the area of temperature regulation. Thermo chromic materials, for example, change color in response to temperature fluctuations, allowing the fabric to visually indicate changes in body temperature or environmental conditions. This can be particularly useful in sportswear, where athletes can monitor their exertion levels or in medical garments, where changes in body temperature can be an important indicator of health.

      Nanomaterials in Textiles Have Antibacterial Properties

      Filipe Vaz*

      DOI: 10.37421/2165-8064.2023.13.558

      The antibacterial aspects of nanomaterials in textiles have gained significant attention due to their potential in combating microbial growth and improving hygiene. Nanomaterials, characterized by their unique properties at the nanoscale, have shown promising antimicrobial effects against a wide range of bacteria, including pathogenic strains. The origin of the antibacterial properties in nanomaterials lies in their high surface to volume ratio, which facilitates increased contact with bacteria and enhances their antimicrobial activity. Nanoparticles such as silver, zinc oxide, copper, titanium dioxide, and graphene oxide have been extensively studied for their antibacterial properties. These nanoparticles possess inherent biocidal properties or can be functionalized with antibacterial agents to further enhance their effectiveness. In textile applications, nanomaterials with antibacterial properties can be incorporated into fibers, fabrics, or coatings. One approach involves directly incorporating nanoparticles during the manufacturing process of fibers or yarns, ensuring a uniform distribution throughout the textile material. Another approach is to apply nanoparticle-based coatings onto the textile surface, forming a protective layer that inhibits bacterial adhesion and growth.

      Depth Evaluation of Textile Finishing Performance

      Filipe Vaz*

      DOI: 10.37421/2165-8064.2023.13.559

      The energetic performance assessment of a stenter system in a textile finishing mill plays a crucial role in evaluating its energy efficiency and overall sustainability. A stenter system is a vital component in the finishing process of textiles, where fabrics are stretched and dried to achieve desired characteristics. By conducting an energetic performance assessment, engineers and researchers can gain valuable insights into the system's energy consumption, losses, and potential improvements. Energy, also known as available energy, is a thermodynamic concept that quantifies the quality of energy within a system. Unlike traditional energy assessments that focus solely on energy consumption, energetic analysis considers both the quantity and quality of energy flows. This analysis provides a more comprehensive understanding of the system's performance, allowing for targeted improvements and resource optimization.

        Bast fibre dyeing process was common practice as the value addition of most bast fibres was demanded for various commercial and household
        applications. In this research work, kusha fibre (which was extracted in our previous work) subjected to dyeing using direct, reactive, vat
        and cationic dyes for the first time. The dyeing process was performed using concentrations 0.5%, 1%& 3% (W/W) dye to fibre with MLR
        1:20. After dyeing process; performance of dyed fibre (dye absorbency measurement, colourfastness to washing, colourfastness to
        rubbing, colourfastness to light) and tensile tests were conducted. The results revealed that; K/S value of all dyed kusha fibre
        samples increases as the concentration of dyes applied increases, the colourfastness to washing of dyed fibres except the of direct
        dyes were found good, in both dry and wet rubbing fastness, reactive dyed samples have overall good rubbing fatness performance over the
        others, light fastness result shows it is good performance for all samples according to blue wool light fastness standard that exceeds 6. The
        tensile strength and elongation of dyed samples showed slight decrement in both vat and direct dyed samples; whereas, the considerable
        decrement was observed both in samples dyed with reactive and basic dyes as there is formation of covalent bond between fibre and dye
        and acid medium of processing affected the tensile property respectively.
