A mathematical model is presented to simulate the electric resistivity of leather samples as a function of humidity. It will be shown that absolute and not relative humidity is the crucial parameter. The model assumes that the leather includes channels that can absorb water from the surrounding environment. This effect primarily determines the electric conductivity of the leather samples. The theoretical results from the model are quite closely in line with experimental measurements.

In the context of the energy transition to renewables, the spotlight is on large systems connected to the power grid, but this also offers room for smaller, more specialized applications. Photovoltaics, in particular, offer the possibility of the self-sufficient supply of smaller electrical appliances on smaller scales. The idea of making previously unused surfaces usable is by no means new, and textiles such as backpacks, tent tarpaulins and other covers are particularly suitable for this purpose. In order to create a non-toxic and easily recyclable product, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC), which can be manufactured through electrospinning with a textile feel, are an attractive option here. Therefore, this paper investigates a needle electrospun nanofiber mat, whose spin solution contains polyacrylonitrile (PAN) dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as well es TiO2 nanoparticles. In addition to characterization, the nanofiber mat was dyed in a solution containing anthocyanins to later serve as a front electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell. Although of lower efficiency, the DSSC provides stable results over two months of measurement.

This study attempted to produce a cheap polyester composite material using an agricultural waste banana peel in the structure. Banana fibre has been used in composites as reinforcements, but banana peel has never been used with polyester before. The possibility of improved thermal and flammability properties of a composite due to increased moisture in the structure, and the char-forming ability of the cellulosic part of banana peel or the production of highly flammable material due to the presence of carbohydrates in the structure were the assumptions. To tackle the second assumption, aluminium trihydrate (ATH) was added. The handmade composites showed a drastic drop in tensile strength from 38.02 MPa to 16.72 MPa due to a lack of chemical bonding between the constituents. The impact and flexural strength showed some improvement with the addition of banana peel, along with ATH, to record results of 10.92 kg/cm and 49 MPa, respectively, after the initial drop that occurred when only ATH was added. However, these results were still inferior to the properties of pure polyester. The results of flammability and thermal resistance matched the second assumption, as flame retardancy was kept under control by the presence of ATH. The absorbency properties remained almost unaffected.

Most commercially available thermochromic dyes are not resistant to washing and rubbing when applied to textile materials. This is due to their low affinity for fibre. The addition of silica extracted from rice husk ash using the sol-gel method was performed to improve colour fastness and maintain the stability of thermochromic dyes printed on cotton fabrics. The rice husks used in this study were derived from the Baroma rice variety with silica content in ash and silica gel of 97.05% and 99.20%. The morphological structures and particle sizes of the silica obtained were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and particle size analyser (PSA). The particle sizes of the silica product, thermochromic dye and silica-dye mixture were 53.64–60.66 nm, 2.603 nm and 5.827 nm, respectively. The printing process of silica: the dye mixture was applied to cotton fabric in a ratio of 1:1. Fluid of silica: the dye showed good stability until the seventh day of observation. Colour fastness to washing assessed using a staining scale was better with the addition of silica than without silica, i.e. 3–4 in the first washing and 3 in the third washing. Similarly, fastness to rubbing was also better with the addition of silica, i.e. 3–4 dry rubbings and 3 wet rubbings. Moreover, the combination of silica, binder, PDMS and dye (in a ratio of 1:1:1:1) gave the best colour fastness to washing and rubbing.

The article focuses on predicting the properties of textile materials intended for the treatment of wounds. The main requirements for medical textile materials for liquid transportation were identified. Exudate from wounds and therapeutic fluids from a dressing must move through material with the necessary efficiency. This ensures that unwanted substances are removed from the wound and the necessary moisture is maintained. These requirements can be provided using a mathematical model of the process. Such a model can be substantiated by solving a non-linear differential diffusion equation. For this purpose, the function of changing the moisture content inside a textile material was approximated using a polynomial function that satisfies the boundary conditions. This approximation made it possible to reduce the problem to the solution of an ordinary differential equation with respect to time. The obtained analytical solution of the change in moisture content with respect to time and coordinate includes two diffusion constants. The results of macro-experiments, together with analytical results, made it possible to determine the diffusion coefficient and the nonlinearity coefficient in an explicit form. The results made it possible to predict the moisture content at a given point of textile material at any given time, the total amount of absorbed liquid and the intensity of absorption. The resulting function can recommend the geometric and physical parameters of medical textile materials for the treatment of wounds with a given intensity of exudate sorption.

The physical and mechanical properties of knitted fabrics for sports swimsuits are analysed in this paper. The knitted fabrics were experimentally aged in seawater and exposed to the sun continuously for 100 hours. Data were processed for nine knitted fabrics with the same raw material composition, polyamide and elastane in different proportions. The physical-mechanical properties of all nine samples before and after aging, as well as the drying rate and water absorption capacity, were examined. The results show that the properties of the knitted fabric changed in all samples. The sample with a higher elastane content (59% PA and 41% EL) is less sensitive to changes in mass per unit area and thickness after aging (−0.89% and 0.40%). The results of maximum wetted radius absorption water on the top and bottom of the knitted fabric, spreading speed absorption and drying time are shown. The results show that the values of the maximum wetted radius of absorbed water and the spreading speed increase for all samples, while the drying time for the knitted fabrics show different results.

The amount and quality of fibres depend on a whole range of factors, the most important being variety, agroecological conditions, agrotechnics and the degree of fibre flax plant maturity, the purpose for which flax is grown, retting and processing. The retting of fibre flax is the most complex stage in the processing of flax into fibre. The aim of this study was to gain knowledge about the acclimatization ability of foreign varieties that can potentially be adapted to climatic in Republic Croatia. Therefore, this paper presents the results of achieved agronomic traits (dry stem yield, dry stem after retting, total fibre yield, long fibre yield, share of total fibre and share of long fibre) of five foreign varieties of fibre flax. The selected varieties were retted in very soft, medium hard and hard water. Variety trials with fibre flax were set up over three years (2012–2014) at two locations (Zagreb) on anthropogenized eutric cambisol and (Križevci) on pseudogley on level terrain. The trials were carried out according to the RCBD in four replications. According to the results of the three-year research into the agronomic traits of fibre flax, significant differences were identified among the varieties studied. The varieties Agatha, Viola and Electra recorded the highest values of studied traits. Statistically significant differences were only recorded among different water hardness for long fibre yield in 2012 and share of total fibre in 2013 in Zagreb. The highest yields and share of fibres were recorded when the fibre flax was retted in very soft water.

Electro-conductive textiles are mostly fabrics that have conductive elements or electronics integrated into them to achieve electrical characteristics. They have acquired considerable attention in applications involving sensors, communications, heating textiles, entertainment, health care, safety etc. To produce electro-conductive textiles, several techniques, e.g. chemical treating with conductive polymers on various textile materials, or using different technologies, e.g. knitting, weaving, embroidery techniques to include conductive threads into fabric interconnections etc., are being used. Electro-conductive fabrics are flexible enough to be adapted to quick changes in any particular application, beginning with wearable purposes and sensing needs as specified by many different groups. The ability of electro-conductive textiles to conduct electricity is the most essential property they must possess. In addition, the applications that may be worn should have stable electrical, thermal and mechanical qualities. The most recent developments in the field of electro-conductive textiles represent the aim of this review, which analyses these properties, including the investigation of methods that are used to obtain conductive textiles, their electrical properties, thermal properties, and beyond that, the scientific methods that are used to measure and investigate electro-conductive textiles. We also focused on the textile materials used in studies, as well as the technologies used to make them conductive, which may be a guide for different interested groups for use in a variety of smart applications.

Filtration is considered the keystone for clarification and control of contamination in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. From production to in-process to chemical and research laboratories to the purification of water for sterile and nonsterile products, all of which involve some form of filtration in order to achieve a good manufacturing practice (GMP). Textile materials possess a significant contribution to the pharmaceutical filtration system. Textile material in pharmaceutical filtration is used in the form of filter media or medium. Flexible in nature, large pore distribution and non-metallic properties of textile materials have led to widespread use as filter media for many years. In filtration processes, a proper selection of filter media/ membrane material is usually the most critical aspect for ensuring efficient separation. Generally, solid-liquid and solid-gas separation is done by the filter media. This paper emphasises solid-liquid filtration. Moreover, this paper reviews the water requirement, filtration processes and the role of textile in the filtration system of pharmaceutical industries. This paper also offers insight into the current market trend and COVID-19 impact on the pharmaceutical filtration industry. Furthermore, gathered information may be helpful to those studying and working in pharmaceutical engineering, filtration technology, and wastewater treatment and can get knowledge about filtration systems.

The article examines the influence of the surface properties of knitted fabrics from cotton and wool of various knitted structures on the light fastness of their colours. The surface properties of knitted fabrics of single plain, 1×1 rib and French piqué knitted structures were evaluated by determining their roughness using a non-contact optical method for processing digital images of the knitted fabric’s surface. The roughness profiles of the corresponding knitted fabric samples were obtained, and the main indicators of surface roughness were calculated: the profile height at ten points Rz and the arithmetic mean profile deviation Ra . Cotton knitted fabrics were dyed with the Bezaktiv Cosmos dye brand, which are bifunctional reactive dyes with monochlorotriazine / vinyl sulfone active groups, and wool knitted fabrics were dyed with acid dyes. The light fastness of the samples was evaluated after exposure to the Light Fastness Tester (Mercury-Tungsten Lamp) RF 1201 BS (REFOND) with a PCE-TCR 200 colorimeter. Colour measurements were averaged for each sample. Total colour difference (dE) was measured on the dyed cotton knitted fabrics samples after light exposure. According to the obtained roughness profiles of cotton and wool knitted fabrics, it can be concluded that the studied knitted fabrics are characterized by different roughness, which depends on their knitted structures. At the same time, a relationship was found between an increase in the roughness of knitted fabrics and the photodestruction of colours by reactive and acid dyes on cotton and wool knitted fabrics, respectively. The results show that the surface structure of knitted fabrics, that is the knitted structure, impacts the process of colour photodestruction and that the amount of dye that has undergone photodestruction increases with the increasing surface roughness of the knitted fabric.

The surface properties of knitted fabrics of single plain, 1×1 rib and French piqué knitted structures were evaluated by determining their roughness using a non-contact optical method for processing digital images of the knitted fabric’s surface. The roughness profiles of the corresponding knitted fabric samples were obtained, and the main indicators of surface roughness were calculated: the profile height at ten points Rz and the arithmetic mean profile deviation Ra . Cotton knitted fabrics were dyed with the Bezaktiv Cosmos dye brand, which are bifunctional reactive dyes with monochlorotriazine / vinyl sulfone active groups, and wool knitted fabrics were dyed with acid dyes.
